Bo Street Runners...

...won a Ready Steady Go beat group competition. The runners up were the Toggery Five who recorded this song, written by Andrew Loog Oldham and Keith Richard (without the s in those days) and a John Peel favourite.

Seamus | 18 November 2008 - 10:47pm

The Herd


Featuring a very youthful Peter Frampton, and Magenta Devine on keyboards!

Glen Campbell 1969


Steven C | 18 November 2008 - 11:09pm

"Bar-B-Q" by Wendy Rene (1964)



(Might be better known than I think it is, on Northern Soul dancefloors.)

Nick White | 18 November 2008 - 11:11pm
Fraser Lewry | 19 November 2008 - 12:03am

The Monkees - Sweet Young Thing

...is better IMO: proto-Velvet Underground

JeffLeopard | 19 November 2008 - 12:08am

Any excuse will do

This is becoming my equivalent of rickrolling, I know, since it must be at least the third time I've posted this, but when you're on a mission from God....


Archie Valparaiso | 19 November 2008 - 12:03am

They're not doing much..

..crawling are they?

shane pacey | 19 November 2008 - 12:07am

They're doin' the Twine!

Do try to keep up, Shane.

Archie Valparaiso | 19 November 2008 - 12:23am

Duh...

..(sound of crickets chirping)

shane pacey | 19 November 2008 - 12:27am

I just realised...

That this is where Amy Winehouse's backing singers/dancers get their moves from. Although I'm guessing it might come from doo-wop originally.

Fraser Lewry | 19 November 2008 - 12:12am
Richard Lowe | 19 November 2008 - 12:16am

brilliant

even though this blog is old. great choice

The piss artist... | 23 November 2008 - 7:06am

One of 2008's very best: for me, that is; 40 years late


Play it back to back with In The Midnight Hour...

Lucas Hare | 19 November 2008 - 12:18am
davecowps | 19 November 2008 - 12:29am

Very good...

..but put me in mind of this...


shane pacey | 19 November 2008 - 12:32am

Ok, but they're just comedians.

Emitt Rhodes, however, went on to make 3 of my favourite albums from the early 70's


davecowps | 19 November 2008 - 1:08am

Three from me...

The Young Rascals 'How Can I Be Sure?'

Simon Dupree and The Big Sound 'Kites'
Daft visuals but the song is the thing here of course.

Chicago 'Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?'

Mr Blue Sky | 19 November 2008 - 8:11am

Simon Dupree & Big Sound - For Whom The Bell Tolls

...less obvious than the wonderful "Kites"

JeffLeopard | 19 November 2008 - 7:19pm
Cookieboy | 19 November 2008 - 8:06am

What a great thread!

Hardly know where to start, but how about the best track from Alice Cooper's very underrated first album. Never even knew this clip existed until yesterday!

David Rothon | 19 November 2008 - 9:05am

Susan Rafey

The Big Hurt

Nico _ I'm Not Saying

David Rothon | 19 November 2008 - 9:45am

C'mon dave

Now this is the Big Susan Rafey tune

paul beard | 19 November 2008 - 12:42pm

Wow!

I'd not heard that - I agree, it is somewhat fab.

David Rothon | 19 November 2008 - 1:45pm

Not Cliff

American Trilogy? - No way!
Suspicious Minds? - Pah!

THIS is Elvis from 1961. But why has history chosen to ignore this song?

Austin | 19 November 2008 - 10:04am

I've certainly

had enough...

(Clarification : enough of this Elvis tune. Otherwise, glorious sixties snippets.)

nigelthebald | 19 November 2008 - 10:21am

Sam Fletcher + The Youngbloods

The greatest record of the 60's with James Bond Horn stabs.


First Heard this on Danny Baker in the Summer. wonderful

paul beard | 19 November 2008 - 12:34pm

1968!


Retropath2 | 19 November 2008 - 1:04pm

OH NO !!!!

That's DLT being a **** with a gun isn't it ? There's one clip of him introducing it in German.

paul beard | 19 November 2008 - 7:19pm

Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart/I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight

Pure bubblegum, from 1967


Five-Centres | 19 November 2008 - 3:32pm

Not The Who but...

...The Fleur de Lys - Circles


Paolo Meccano | 19 November 2008 - 4:11pm

Four Tops: 7 Rooms Of Gloom


...terrific song; great live version.

JeffLeopard | 19 November 2008 - 7:22pm

Kinks - Phenomenal Cat



...truth be told, my favourite track by RDD. Love the mellotron by the great Nicky Hopkins.

JeffLeopard | 19 November 2008 - 7:47pm

Seconded on the Kinks

But for pure 60s silliness, and continuing the cat theme, how about this

The Amorous Hum... | 20 November 2008 - 10:33am

Surprised no-one's mentioned this...

The Knickerbockers - Lies


Paolo Meccano | 20 November 2008 - 1:57pm

Blimey......

....is that a young Kenneth Clark on sax?

Retropath2 | 20 November 2008 - 2:00pm

If we're talking Nuggets...

...I'll see yer "Lies", and raise you
Nazz - Open My Eyes

JeffLeopard | 20 November 2008 - 7:46pm
JeffLeopard | 20 November 2008 - 7:48pm

Sam and Dave - Wrap It Up

...start the clip at 2 minutes 48 seconds (after cranking up the volume):


Isaac Hayes, David Porter, Booker T, the MGs and Memphis Horns at the top of their game

JeffLeopard | 20 November 2008 - 8:14pm
sarahg | 21 November 2008 - 1:30am

Great but not a patch on this...

(that's a joke btw)

And if Tim is Tiny, what does that make Eleanor? Apparently the Band are the musicians are this...wonder why it wasn't reprised on The Last Waltz?


The Amorous Hum... | 21 November 2008 - 5:40pm

Expecting to fly

Just beautiful...

chuff | 21 November 2008 - 8:05pm

Beautiful, indeed

I so love the music of Neil Young.

Love Song for the Dead Che - The United States of America

PS Thanks for posting the nico video - i love that song but didn't know there was a film to go with it!

wills123 | 25 November 2008 - 12:06pm

Genesis, One Day

From "Genesis to Revelation", my favourite track off a really really good album.


kb | 12 December 2008 - 11:48am

Poor Side of Town

by Johnny Rivers. There's some naff You Tube films I won't bother you with - just find a "Best of" cd or download it. Fabulous, fabulous song.
