[RGMike]

another obscure nugget: Four Tops, "What Is a Man?"

[RGMike]

another obscure nugget: Four Tops, "What Is a Man?"

A favorite of mine.  Sounds like a poem set to music.  That one and "A Simple Game" deserved much better.

[RGMike]

fab obscure Monkees: "Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow". Was this a B-side? Another Neil Diamond comp.

and another Tops fave of ours, "Yesterday's Dreams", just popped up on Offshore Radio.

Offshore Radio continues to amaze. A British cover of "Ain't That Peculiar" by the Lovin' Kind (?) and the fabulous sunshiny Montanas, "You Gotta Be Loved"

listening now, Sandie Shaw is ripping through Always Something There to Remind Me.  shuffle bossa beat, twangy guitars, yelping trombones, it's got it all.

Offshore Radio: here's the Guess Who's Laughing.  Couple weeks back I went to the San Mateo County Fair and the current lineup of the Guess Who were there.. They should be called Guess Who We're Supposed To Sound Like?

har har , ok, so they have the same bass player and drummer, but no Randy Bachman or Burton Cummings.  

[RGMike]

Pet Clark, "the Other Man's Grass is Always Stronger Greener".

Followed by the Ferns Brass Foundry (!?!), "Don't Change It", obviously '60s but sounding like Tower Of Power's "This Time It's Real"

[Tinka Cat]

Nashville Cats by the Lovin' Spoonful!

I hope the Del McCoury band does this at Hardly Stricly Bluegrass

Nashville Katz -- he owned a Kosher deli.

this early Ike'n'Tina thing, "Tell Her I'm Not Home", is NTM and a stone gas.

[RGMike]

"when I was small
and Christmas trees were tall..."

BeeGees forgotten "First of May", just lovely.

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL! Skope -- "Be Mine Again", the orig translation-from-Italian of the song that later became "Live For Today". one! two! three! four!
