David Allan Coe [00:22] a side: "The Ride" b side: "Son of a Rebel Son" Columbia Records 38-03778 1983 A fine if slightly goofy ghost song on the a-side. The b-side, well... interesting definition of freedom there, but perhaps my perspective as a son of a son of a Yankee son is different. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs [06:44] a side: "Ring Dang Doo" b side: "Don't Try It" MGM Records K13397 1965 Some mighty fine Tex Mex (https://youtu.be/8JLhj9NFu48).

Half Japanese [05:19] a side: "Refreshing" b side: "Do It Now" Joyful Noise Recordings JNR138 2014 A fine return to form with this 2014 release on Joyful Noise. Little River Band [11:25] a side: "Reminiscing" b side: "So Many Paths" Harvest Records 4605 1978 De rigeur on late 70s FM Gold programming, and revivified by Biz Markie

The Kills [00:30] a side: "Pull a U" b side: "The Search for Cherry Red" Domino Records RUG165 2003 Nothing like a little stripped down rock and roll. Grace Jones [06:52] a side: "Pull Up to the Bumper" b side: "Breakdown" Island Records IS49697 1981 Funk yeah. Beep beep. Made it number 5 on the R&B charts, and number 2 on the Hot Dance charts. And of course, there's that killer b-side, for which Tom Petty provided a third verse especially for Grace. Sheb Wooley [14:24] a side: "The Purple People

From his 1980 album "Growing Up in Public". Sadly this single failed to chart. Marvin Gaye [04:55] a side: "Praise" b side: "Funk Me" TAMLA T 54322F 1981 Disco gospel, it's a thing!. Made it to number 18 on the Hot Soul charts. Tandoori Knights [14:59] a side: "Pretty Please" b side: "Bucketful" Norton Records 45-154 2010 Best

Olivia Newton-John [04:42] a side: "Please Mr. Please" b side: "And in the Morning" MCA Records MCA-40418 1975 A fine mellow 70s country song sung by an Australian and penned by two Brits: Bruce Welch and John Rostill of The Shadows. Go figure. Reached #3 on the Hot 100 and #5 on the Country charts. Dim Stars [13:36] disc 1, a

Booker T & the MG's [00:34] a side: "Over Easy" b side: "Hang 'Em High" Stax Records STA-0013 1968 Whoops... guess I got those sides flipped around. Of course "Hang Em High" would be the a-side. Oh well. Reached #9 on the pop charts and #35 on the R&B charts in 1968. Pigbag [08:35] a side: "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" b side: "The Backside" Y Records Y10 1981 Some groovy early 80s post punk from Cheltenham. An obvious play on the hardest working man in show biz, who we will hear in just a

Honey Cone [00:23] a side: "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (Part I)" b side: "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (Part II)" Hot Wax HS 7110 1971 Of course the show is going on when I've got more monkey tunes to spin. Fun fact: lead singer Edna Wright is the sister of Darlene Love. Reached #5 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100. Another fun fact: Hot Wax was started by the great Holland, Dozier and Holland when they left Motown in 1968. Murray Head [07:20] a side: "One Night in Bangkok" b side:

Dolly was only the second woman to top both the Country and Hot 100 charts, the first being Jeannie C Riley with Harper Valley PTA. Cliff Jackson and the Naturals [06:56] a side: "Nine Below Zero" b side: "Up the Wall" Midnight Sun MS-2 The Sonny Boy Williamson classic. ? and the Mysterians [12:22] a side: "96 Tears" b side: "Midnight Hour" Cameo Records C-428 1966 Damn fine

Darlene McCrea [00:31] a side: "My Heart's Not in It" b side: "Don't Worry Baby" Tower Records 104 1964 Phew... quite the classic. Former member of The Cookies, and Ray Charles Raelettes. Love [05:51] a side: "My Little Red Book" b side: "A Message to Pretty" Elektra Records EK-45603 1966 A fine stripped down version of Burt Bacharach's tune. And supposedly influenced the Syd Barrett's riff in "Interstellar Overdrive". And that b-side is clearly Byrdsian. Betty LaVette [12:26] a side: "My Man -

Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers [00:22] a side: "Monster Mash" b side: "Monsters' Mash Party" Garpax Records GP-44167 1962 Indeed, the greatest pop song ever recorded. I think I'm going to name my next adventuring party The Crypt Kicker Five. Buck Owens [06:20] a side: "(It's a) Monster's Holiday" b side: "Great Expectations" Capitol Records 3907 1974 Yup, that's a Buck Owens song, sure as stakin. Wait, sexy sensations?! Yikes!

David Bowie [mm:ss] a side: "Modern Love (Studio)" b side: "Modern Love (Live)" EMI America B-8177 1983 Almost like a promo single, but this style is studio on the a-side and live on the b-side. Listening to the studio version, I never realized how kind a lame those synth stabs in the verse are. Anywho the live side was recorded on the Serious Moonlight tour on it's stop in Montreal. Larry Bright [mm:ss] a side: "Mojo Workout" b side: "I'll Change My Ways" Tide 45-T-006 1960 Your keto's got

Burning Curtains a side: "Mannequin Lullaby" [06:39] Happiness b side: "Knowm" [10:08] Partisan Records PTSN1016-7 2015 Catchy grooves on the a-side from San Francisco's Burning Curtains and the b-side from Rhode Island's own Happiness.

Mercy [05:36] a side: "Love (Can Make You Happy)" b side: "Fire Ball" Sundi Records SR-6811 1969 Bang, another killer b-side. And a perfectly fine a-side, but not quite as thrilling.

Clarence Henry [06:42] b side: "Little Suzy" a side: "You Only Hurt the Ones You Love" Argo U-10760 1961 Whoops. Your Old Pal Will got the sides flipped again. Probably because the b-side, "Little Suzy", is a pretty awesome track. The actual a-side is a pretty solid take on the standard made classic by The Mills Brothers.

Simlar to her 4-track Demos release, she plays all albums except the final mix drums. And she was the engineer, mixer and producer. What's not to love?

And it won Freddie Mercury his first Ivor Novello Award. Steve Martin (and the Toot Uncommons) [06:41] a side: "King Tut" b side: "Sally Goodin/Hoedown at Alice's" Warner Bros.
