Just a question to all you Jocks...is there anything in your box that would surprise people if you played it?

Something that just doesn't fit into the genre...is downright weird or just maybe mainstream?

I'm asking this because ive just purchased an Elvis track on 7 'Let Yourself Go' and personally I think it is a great R&B type number that I fancy playing out...is that wrong?

What have you got in your box?

'Let yourself go' is great, i've played it at 5ts & 6ts clubs also 'Rubberneckin' of course.

I'd quite like to see how 'Charo' by Elvis would go down at a Popcorn style evening, could be a winner methinks!

There's all sorts of crazy stuff getting played out there on the Mod/6ts scene nowadays, Barron Knights, Peters & Lee amongst the craziest although they're not absolutely terrible records imho.

Don't know if these are crazy but i like to play the odd track by American 5ts/6ts screen sirens, Cindy Malone, Shelley Fabares etc.

Barron Knights, Peters & Lee

Christ on a bike, don't let Rod Shard see this thread

I think the Barron Knights is a cover of Mel Torme's 'I'm coming home' if i remember correctly.

Can't remember what the Peters & Lee track is although i've seen the album with the track on it in the past.

Hi Simon,

Sounds like the original version of "Lost Summer Love" by Shelley Fabares on Vee Jay could be right up your street. Great version!
