Decided to CG today, and -- hurrah! -- "Do Anything You Wanna Do" comes on.  God, what a great record.


Who/what's that?  I imagine it's a soundalike, if not an answer record, to BT Express's "Do It Til You're Satisfied."


OMG. I'm shocked. It's Eddie & the Hot Rods, one of THE great early British punk/new wave singles. A mini-masterpiece, IMHO.  Urth, Mshray, back me up here!

But here's one new to me: "Rosetta", a duet of Alan Price & Georgie Fame!

Consider yourself backed. Great tune. Can be found on one of the Rhino DIY comps, among other places.

on Teenage Kicks: UK Pop 1, to be exact.  I assume that series is out of print?  I found four CDs,  UK Pop 1 & 2 and American Power Pop 1 & 2, in the cutout bin at Tower 8 or 9 years ago for 6 bucks apiece.  And boy are they wonderful.

And BTW, Gaz, there IS a song called "Do It Anyway You Wanna" by Peoples Choice (peaked at 11 in '75) which was rather similar to the BT Express tune.

VIP obscurity o' the hour: Gene Chandler doing a smokin', horn-drenched cover of James Brown's "There Was a Time".  DAY-um!

another of the great songs-that-peaked-at-#41: Teddy Pendergrass' first solo shot, post-Bluenotes, "I Don't Love You Anymore".

Mike - Just a heads-up: You're posting in the prior week's thread.

Oops. I responded  to a last-week post of yours (because they played that song you asked about again) and just kept going back.
