the_elyanPloughing through this monster Sixties compilation (150 tracks), the cavalcade of memories just keeps on rolling. Memories of the compilations I owned as a kid, of course - I may be ancient, but the Sixties is a little beyond even my Methuselasian vintage.
Currently listening to "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies. Previousaly "You Were Made For Me" by Freddie and the Dreamers (the wettest band in the world ... ever), "I'm A Tiger" by Lulu (yes of course you are, dear), and "Kites" by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound (the cod-Oriental section is indescribably naff).
Weirdest of all was "Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus", but in an instrumental version. Evidently Jame Birkin ... er ... exploring her possibilities is still too much for the delicate sensibilities of EMI.
And now "Dance To The Music" by Sly and the Family Stone, which is one of the best soul tracks of all time.
Followed by "Walkin' Back To Happiness" by Helen Shapiro, one of my top guilty pleasures, and the last Great Wearer of the Beehive Hairdo until that bloody Winehouse creature.
[of course, all this is academic for most of you, compared to today's key question - Will It Be The Same Without Terry?]
