wow, the original Brit version of "Red Red Wine" by Jimmy James & the Vagabonds from 1968 (!). It's ballad tempo, sounds more like '62 than '68.

Which, coincidentally, was on the mix-tape I was listening to on my way home from work last night.  "Cut off your Indian braids!"

OMG! from the Osmonds, "One Bad Apple", to "Run For Home" by Lindisfarne, another nugget I've not heard in decades.

New Seekers, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"!  The guy who substituted "over and over" for "Coca Cola"? Genius.

Wednesday: listening to Gary Ziepe's Late Show on CG, and he reads an email from a Brit woman in SF who's listening to him in an internet cafe.  He then gives a plug to KFOG! Apparently he was here some years ago and visited them and recorded some "liners" for them. So any British-sounding voice you hear on KFOG is Gary.

ABBA, "Thank You For the Music", maybe their worst hit.  nothing like a sappy ballad with a faux-English Music Hall interlude. Yikes.
