Holy flaming mutha! uber-BOS4 Mary Hopkin! A bustout methinks -- Dave somehow avoided this one, tho' you'd think it'd be right up his alley.

BOS.  Not the most distinctive song from Astral Weeks, but beautiful nevertheless.

3/4/10 - THURSDAY !!  away we go to...1968!

  1.  The Equals (w/Eddie Grant)- Baby, Come Back
  2.  Archie Bell & The Drells- Tighten Up
(TV: Dragnet)
  3.  The Amboy Dukes- Journey To The Center Of The Mind
  4.  The Moody Blues- Departure/Ride My See-Saw
(TV: Dating Game w/Steve Martin)
  5.  The Lemon Pipers- Green Tambourine
  6.  Mary Hopkin-Those Were The Days (B.O.S!!!)
(John Lennon)
  7. The Beatles- Glass Onion
  8.  Van Morrison- Sweet Thing
(News: Smith & Carlos Black Power salute @ The Olympics)
  9.  James Brown-Say It Loud I'm Black and I'm Proud
 10. The Rascals- People Got To Be Free

As usual, was in a meeting at 10, so I gotta hear that Dating Game clip on the replay.  Not as distinctive a set as others she has done, but definite kudos on the Mary Hopkin & the Rascals.  My folks had both of those 45's & we'd listen to them as kids, especially "People Got To Be Free".

Maximum tremolo from the Equals.  HM for "Baby Come Back".

I think that was a (noticably faster) re-recording.

Listening to the replay last nite with better speakers, it was obvious that not only was this not the original, but the Mary Hopkin was clearly a different version as well -- what's up with that? I'd've thought, given what a Moreytrina the Equals song is, that the right version (which Dave always played) was in the KFOG library. And the Hopkin -- why the re-recording? Macca must be pissed.

(And as a sidelight, the Hopkin was #1 for 6 weeks on NYC's WABC, which played the #1 song EVERY HOUR -- so it's burned into my brain)
