Transport of delight - Flanders and Swann


Dedicated to Kentishbloke for his support and kindness. Variety act from the fifties and sixties. Clever wordplay was their forte. Don't get much of that anymore.

King Midas in reverse - The Hollies


Excellent single that should have been a massive hit.


Hollies sixties hawkmoon 03111951

When a Man Loves a Woman - Spencer Davis Group


From their third LP a version that, might, be better than the Percy Sledge original. Winwood's voice is just so fantastic, and he was so young.

My Friend Jack - The Smoke


Released in 1967 and claimed by some to be jumping on the LSD bandwagon. Who cares if it was? It sounded great.

Morning Dew - Episode Six


Not the best version of 'Morning Dew' but interesting as Episode Six contained Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, later of Deep Purple. Considering these 'heavy' men are in the group it is strange that I think their best number is 'I hear trumpets blow' a cover of a record by harmony group The Tokens.

Portobello Road - Cat Stevens


From his first LP. Well worth a listen there are some great songs on there. This one conjures up Portobello road in the mid sixties, almost feel like I'm there. Read Moorcock's 'The Chinese Agent' to get another picture of the Ladbroke Grove area in sixties London.
