Friday Dec 16--its--holy crap, it's 1966!!!!

[Davefish]

Where's Mike when we need him? These last two songs are stumping me--the first one I know I've heard ("they make a boy and girl say they feel so fine") but the second one ( a very white-bread vocal group singing "No body but you") is a total stumper.

Now this I can relate to: Shapes of Things, the Yardbirds.

I've already forgotten hearing those.  Not much help.

Speaking of Christmas music, I was listening to the KFOG christmas feed yesterday.  Very nice.  I even liked Coldplay's gender reversed cover of the Pretender's "2000 Miles"

Something else from the mid 60's that you don't hear so much anymore: organs as the lead instrument.

BOS #4 "96 Tears"

[urth]

scorekeeping:
Baby, It's Alright (?)
96 Tears
Monday, Monday

[mshray]

and yet another, 4-part harmonies!

"Monday, Monday" hasn't sounded this good to me in a long time.

a very white-bread vocal group

I bet that's what it actually says in the dictionary when you look up The Turtles.

[urth]

Revisionism: the whitebread group was the Turtles, and But It's Alright was J.J. Jackson. Missed the one before the Turtles. Mea culpa.

[RGMike]

Damn -- as usual I miss the best set of the week.  Looking forward to tonite's replay.

Nobody knew JJ Jackson? For shame!  (Not the same JJ Jackson from MTV, tho' for years I thought it was.)

[mshray]

Hollies "Bus Stop" for the bonus track, but even better, they played the semi-long version of "Thick As A Brick" in between.  I have never heard KFOG do that outside of Dave's sets before.

I heard it last Monday night, around 7:45. I think Big Rick is on vacay this week, so whoever's filling in must have played it.

I miss the good ones!

BOS Yay! the Beatles.  anytime they get their horn sections gong it's a good thing.

anyone know which of the Fabs was most into horns?  Guessing Paul, but don't really know.

As usual, George proved himself a good follower: The chart on "Savoy Truffle" is one of my favorite uses of horns on a Beatles record.

P.S.  Glad I missed the Turtles' "You Baby."  Love the band, hate that song.

have I already told the Stax story of how the Beatles were rumored to be planning to record in Memphis around the time of Revolver?  Coulda/shoulda/woulda been the Memphis horns and/or Booker T & the MGs on GTGYIMY.

A wonderful set, hard to pick a BOS -- I'm tempted to say 9-way tie, leaving out the Ms&Ps, 'cause frankly I could go without hearing "Monday Monday" for a good long time.  But certainly the Deon Jackson (no relation to JJ) gets Best Semi-Obscurity, a lovely record and certified Carolina Beach Music classic.
