ROY BUDD - CARTER

(Much sought-after title theme music to the classic Michael Caine movie Get Carter)

THE WHO - UNDER MY THUMB

(Rush-released in support of The Rolling Stones' recently jailed Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this was a double A side also featuring The Last Time)

DAVID BOWIE - SELL ME A COAT

(A lovely track from Bowie's first LP, recorded for Deram in 1967 and released on the same day as The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper)

SHY LIMBS - REPUTATION

(Classic psych 45 with great Hammond work, CBS 45)

TINTERN ABBEY - BEESIDE

(Top collectable Deram psych)

5AM EVENT - HUNGRY

(Great version of a Paul Revere & The Raiders non-hit, Pye 1966)

THE POETS - THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOTTA BE

(Belting beat number record for Decca)

THE SCORE - PLEASE PLEASE ME

(One of the most interesting Beatles covers you'll hear, look out for the Stones and Yardbirds riffs at the end of the song. Decca 45, 1966)

ADAM BEST - LANA'S PAST

(A nice instrumental from a bizarre 1970 Fontana LP)

THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP - LOOK AWAY

(Good cover of the Garnet Mimms track from the groups second LP for Fontana)

ACID GALLERY - DANCE ROUND THE MAYPOLE

(Interesting toytown pop with a huge Roy Wood influence, CBS single 1968)

DODIE WEST - IN THE DEEP OF NIGHT

(Well known Piccadilly single, but this version taken from an LP called Here Come The Girl Presented By Alan Freeman, and that's just what it is)

THANE RUSSELL & THREE - SECURITY

(Awesome CBS freakbeat 45 featuring the world's best Mick jagger impersonator)

THE BUZZ - YOU'RE HOLDING ME DOWN

(A demented Columbia 45 from Joe Meek's RGM Sound set-up, how they expected this to chart is beyond me now, but to the record buyers of 1966 it must have sounded as if it was recorded on another planet)

THE PRETTY THINGS - DEFECTING GREY

(Terrific track from the S.F. Sorrow LP but not sure it made such a great choice as a single. Columbia 1967)

DON SPENCER - FIREBALL

(One of my favourite records when I was 3 years old. HMV 45)

GARY WALKER - YOU DON'T LOVE ME

(This should be instantly recogniseable as the original of the Dawn Penn rocksteady track, though there was a US version out at the same time. CBS 45)

ANDY ELLISON - IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

(Supposedly from the soundtrack to the 1968 film Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush, but I don't remember anything but an instrumental version of this being used in the film. Excellent solo 45 from former Johns Children vocalist)

THE BEAT MERCHANTS - PRETTY FACE

(Cracking British Rhythm & Blues from a Hastings/Bexhill band, Columbia single 1964)

THE WHO - THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

(My personal favourite of their Brunswick singles, sorry it's off a ropey copy but my best one' on my jukebox!)

CHARLIE BYRD - HAPPY TOGETHER

(Recently got this in a box of junk, a pretty catchy instrumental version of The Turtles classic recorded for US Columbia)

ADAM BEST - LANA'S PAST

(A nice instrumental from a bizarre 1970 Fontana LP)

Couple of mental covers on this LP -

Notably 25 Miles and Spencer Davis' "I'm A Man"

GARY WALKER - YOU DON'T LOVE ME

(This should be instantly recogniseable as the original of the Dawn Penn rocksteady track, though there was a US version out at the same time. CBS 45)

Original by Willie Cobbs is much earlier than this - around the late 50s/early 60s.

Although it's more likely that they reworked Tommy Rayes version of the track.

Didn't realise it was so old, cheers.
