Al Stewart [00:31] a side: "Year of the Cat" b side: "Broadway Hotel" Janus Records J-266 1976 Scotsman Al Stewart penned this Alan Parsons-produced classic, which made it all the way up to number 8 on the Hot 100. Definitely sounds like the mid-70s to me ear. Fun fact: Janus Records was originally extension of England's Pye Records. Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames [09:00] a side: "Yeh, Yeh" b side: "Preach and Teach" Imperial Records 66086 1965 This toe tapping classic originally started as an

Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds [00:41] a side: "Winners and Losers" b side: "Barroom Blues" Playboy Records P 6054 1975 Both kinds of music... "Country-ish" and Disco? The follow up to "Fallin in Love". This time out they only made it up to number 21 on the Hot 100. Red Fang [08:49] a side: "Wires" b side: "LSP" Relapse Records RR1091-1 2011 Hot and heavy stuff from these Portland gents. As per usual with Red Fang, there's a pretty epic video to accompany this a-side

The Banana Splits [07:00] a side: "We're the Banana Splits" b side: "Wait 'til Tomorrow" Decca Records 32391 1968 And here you thought The Banana Splits were a one hit wonder.

Lou Reed [05:22] a side: "Walk on the Wild Side" b side: "Vicious" RCA Records GB-10162 1973 The grooviest of bass grooves performed by journeyman Herbie Flowers on both upright and fretless electric basses. And in this 1975 reissue, a vicious b-side. The original single was released in 1972 as a double a-side with "Perfect Day". Hunt down the

Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys [05:38] a side: "Up to My Neck in High Muddy Water" b side: "Carnival Bear" Capitol Records 2110 1968 Pretty fine a-side, pretty dreary b-side. Ah well, ya can't win 'em all. No wonder it only made it to number 93 on the Hot 100. The Gogo's [12:03] a side: "Vacation" b side: "Beatnik Beach" IRS Records IR-9907 1982 It really is

That second track on the a-side is... seemingly nice but also kinda backhanded? Or is it just me? Oddly, this single only just cracked the Hot 100.

So it goes. However I think this is going to be a fine episode, so let's party. Tracey Ullman [05:50] a side: "They Don't Know" b side: "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places" MCA Records MCA-52347 1983 Two awesome retro tracks from Ms. Ullman.
