I'm ready for 1965!

but pre-Sweeney, it's Marvin Gaye's version of "Abraham Martin & John", which I've only ever heard on CG.

not much out-of-the ordinary so far, except for Sandie Shaw's "Long Live Love", which I know from Tracey Ullman's version.  And here's the inevitable "Satisfaction".  But I'm diggin' it nonetheless.

A woman called the Jukebox to request Supertramp because "you never hear them on the radio".   And she was, like, SERIOUS.

I tried to buy that single once on ebay, but spaced it out.  I'd love to hear it if anyone has it.

Wed 8/31: here's a gem on CG: Carly Simon's lovely "Comin Around Again" -- the song she SHOULD have won an Oscar for. Wasn't even nominated.

Step out like a Gotham child
I saw your eyes across the street


"Church of the Poison Mind" brightens my day.
