Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #9.
Four tracks originally submitted to the thread on pages 33 to 36 respectively.
The Monkees - You Told Me (1967) Genre: Pop Rock Original thread page: 33 Date originally submitted: 22nd February 2011 Original poster: Barney06 Comments:
A very Beatle-esque track from the Monkees; I like this a lot.
The Rolling Stones - The Spider and the Fly (1965) Genre: Blues Rock Original thread page: 34 Date originally submitted: 6th March 2011 Original poster: Vabosity Comments:
The Rolling Stones, just like the Beatles and the Kinks, recorded some excellent B-sides which were imho often as good as and sometimes even better than their A-sides. This fabulous track was the B-side of Satisfaction.
The Grand Prees - Jungle Fever (1961) Genre: Doo Wop Original thread page: 35 Date originally submitted: 12th March 2011 Original poster: Randy Gibbons Comments:
I love Doo-Wop music, and while this marvellous track undoubtedly falls into that category it’s completely different from any other Doo-Wop track that I’ve ever heard!
Billy Fury - Ain’t Nothin’ Shakin’ (1964) Genre: Rock ‘n’ Roll Original thread page: 36 Date originally submitted: 17th March 2011 Original poster: Vabosity Comments:
Billy Fury is best known as a purveyor of cheesy ballads (and very good cheesy ballads they were too!), but he also knew how to rock, as this clip from Ready Steady Go clearly demonstrates.
The next post in Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review will follow in a few days.
Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #10.
Four tracks originally submitted to the thread on pages 37 to 40 respectively.
Judy Clay - Lonely People Do Foolish Things (1964) Genre: Soul Original thread page: 37 Date originally submitted: 28th March 2011 Original poster: Barney06 Comments:
Barney has certainly submitted some fine sixties Soul to the thread over the last five years, and this terrific track has got to be one of his better contributions.
Françoise Hardy - Suzanne (1968) Genre: Folk Original thread page: 38 Date originally submitted: 7th April 2011 Original poster: ohglobbits Comments:
There have been several covers of this particular Leonard Cohen song. This one is a rather gorgeous French language version by a rather gorgeous French singer.
Jackie Edwards - Somebody Help Me (1965) Genre: Rhythm ‘n’ Blues Original thread page: 39 Date originally submitted: 14th April 2011 Original poster: Vabosity Comments:
In 1966 the Spencer Davis Group had two UK chart-topping singles with songs written by the Jamaican artist Jackie Edwards, i.e. Keep On Running and Somebody Help Me. Here’s the composer’s own version of the latter.
Mongo Santamaria - Yeh Yeh (1963) Genre: Latin Jazz Original thread page: 40 Date originally submitted: 5th May 2011 Original poster: Barney06 Comments:
A (vocal) cover version by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames famously topped the UK singles chart in 1965; this is Mongo Santamaria’s original (instrumental) version.
That’s ten posts of Vabosity’s Fifth Anniversary Review completed, with fifteen still to come. It seems like a good time to take a bit of a break, so it’ll be at least a week before next post in the Review. In the meantime please keep reading Rob’s posts and listening to all the good tracks he’s submitting in those posts.

well that was poor... sorry guys not many vids, back on monday or tuesday.
It's been over a week since my last post in Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review, so I think it's about time I posted the next one (Post #11 of 25). That post will follow in about half an hour.
In the meantime here's a recap of what this Review is all about.
When the thread was one year old I made several posts that I collectively termed as Vabosity's First Anniversary Review in which I repeated some of my favourite tracks previously submitted in the first year of the thread's existence.
Two years later I made several more posts that I collectively termed as Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review in which I repeated some of my favourite tracks previously submitted in the first three years of the thread's existence.
Another two years have passed so it follows that there should be a Fifth Anniversary Review.
In Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review I will be repeating 100 tracks (one track from each of the first 100 pages). There will be four tracks per post, so that's 25 posts in total.
The chosen tracks will meet the following criteria:-
1. I must like them a great deal.
2. They must not have previously been repeated in Vabosity's First Anniversary Review.
3. They must not have previously been repeated in Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review.
4. At least one of the four tracks in each post must have been originally submitted to the thread by a poster other than myself.

Nancy Sinatra - As Tears Go By (1965) Genre: Bossa Nova Original thread page: 41 Date originally submitted: 23rd May 2011 Original poster: Vabosity Comments:
Very different from the original version by the Stones and the hit version by Marianne Faithfull, and definitely worth a listen.
The Boston Crabs - Down In Mexico (1965) Genre: British Rhythm ‘n’ Blues Original thread page: 42 Date originally submitted: 31st May 2011 Original poster: JohnnyForget Comments:
A fine cover of a terrific Leiber and Stoller song originally recorded by the Coasters in 1956.
Warm Sounds - Birds and Bees (1967) Genre: Pop Original thread page: 43 Date originally submitted: 12th June 2011 Original poster: mushymanrob Comments:
This likeable track was the short-lived British duo’s only UK hit single, peaking at #27 in the spring of 1967.
The Blonde Bomber - Strollie Bun (1960) Genre: Rock ‘n’ Roll Original thread page: 44 Date originally submitted: 21st June 2011 Original poster: Randy Gibbons Comments:
When I’m in the mood there’s no type of music I’d rather listen to than some of that good old Rock ‘n’ Roll. Well, I’m in the mood right now, so here is some of that good old Rock ‘n’ Roll.
The next post in Vabosity's Fifth Anniversary Review will follow in two or three days.
