Mike gets his Association request!  A fine choice.

and I didn't even request it (someone else did -- I love it when that happens!)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

sorry, "Mrs Robinson" is completely unnecessary.

1968 according to AL's FB.   Hurry, submit your requests and save the set from the usual FB requests!!
I have mercifully not made any of my typical requests.  Being my HS graduation year, I'll probably be happy, regardless of the angle.  There was so much in '68.

argh, my freaking machine at home is out of date to the point where I can't make facebook comments.  I would request Dave Clark Five's Maze Of Love if I could.
Did anyone request any Small Faces??  My ex had a copy of Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake on vinyl...I remember the cover being completely round.  Should've nicked it from him!   ;)

I've got a CD rerelease of it that came in a round tin with the mono and stereo versions, as well as a Radio One-produced documentary about the album (which of course I have never listened to). GREAT album.

I've seen that release at Amoeba, and I've stood there fondling the case until I get dirty looks (which happens quite a bit at Amoeba, now that I think of it..)  I could never pull the trigger and make the purchase, though.  I have too many DCDs at this point and need to find a way to cut weight.

That was awesome.  It was even a kind of tribute to Stevie Nicks (aka the Goat) when they closed the show with "Landslide".

Best ep of this (half-)season; they've been slightly off, IMHO, but that's understandable given their preoccupation with Book of Mormon. And clearly it was a metaphor for how they view themselves.

OMFG! BOS4 the Association, speaking of stereo separation!  one from my wishlist and most welcome.
I don't think I've heard this one, and I had my head glued to the radio back then.  Perhaps it was regional?

I also find the guitar work on Mrs. Robinson excellent, and quite expressive.
