It's been a while. I've been away, physically and metaphysically. I've also spent way too much time over thinking this playlist. It's always a challenge choosing songs and, more so, the track order. I can never seem to get it just right. So I thought I'd make this perfect. It's not, but I usually don't realize that until 3 seconds after I upload it. So, I figured it was time to stop thinking and just throw this hodgepodge up in the stratosphere, or cloud. I hate that friggin' term.
I know I'm leaving out some credits for contributions. I can assure you it's not intentional; I simply don't remember any more. A handful of you have contributed greatly and I thank all of you. Whew, covered that base. -) Enough from me, I don't like to be chatty since no one reads this stuff anyway.
See below for scan credits. Enjoy!

As always,an intriguing mix of things I know and those I don't. "Try Too Hard" by DC5 is one of my all-time faves and that Undertones track isn't too far behind. Great work! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your playlists - I have downloaded and enjoyed them all. Such a great blend of stuff I already love and stuff I didn't know existed. Really wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteWell, I read this stuff. Yes, you have been gone a while. I check the site several times a week anticipating a new post. Great blog and a great eclectic mix of styles.
ReplyDeleteI have several of the tunes presented in this mix but I was anticipating a Billy Stewart song I may not have. I haven't listened to every song in the mix but I don't seem to be able to find Billy. Am I missing something?
Keep up the work. It would be a sad event if you should leave.
Thanks to all for the comments.
ReplyDeleteJohnny, my bad. I was going to include Billy Stewart's "Sitting in the Park" until I realized it's on the last mix, #39. Sorry for including a scan of him, I forgot to remove it. Which Billy Stewart song are you looking for; I have several others, all excellent.
Thanks, Glenn. I do have Billy Stewart "Sitting in the Park." It appears on his 1965 Chess album "I Do Love You" which appears to be a retro of the previous few years. I also have the comp "One More Time: The Chess Years" as well as a few odds and ends.
ReplyDeleteI'm just open to any little thing Billy might have out there. He was a great and under appreciated talent. But thanks for your quick response.
Wow! Just've found your blog through TwilightZone -- some incredible compilations you're cooking up, man! Lots of 60's stuff I've never even heard about, absolutely fantastic. Thankyouthankyouthankyou -- hugs and cheers from Russia, keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteAnd -- sorry for being intrusive, but I just can't help asking -- do you have Martha's Madman by The Jerry Hahn Brotherhood? The song made famous by Manfred Mann's Earth Band and one of my childhood's favourites, but I've been trying to find the original ever since I learned it existed with no result, alas.
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't help you with Martha's Madman. I did a little research and it appears to have been removed from youtube and some other sites. Copyright infringement. Keep on hunting and pass it along if you ever find it. -)
DeleteThanks again Glenn. As usual a fine collection.
ReplyDeletePete.
Thanks, Glenn, I love all your mixes!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I have downloaded one of your compilations. Thanks! Sounds great! :)
ReplyDeleteGlenn, glad you used the original "Forever Autumn" and not the J. Heyward remake. Happy Halloween from GA.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a lot of Old Favorites
