this is the type of act i like discovering/re-discovering.

Yes, one of the most under appreciated British bands of the era. Considering how highly I rate them, I'm a bit embarrassed that I have not previously posted any of their tracks to the thread, and I know it's been five and a half years and I may well be wrong, but I don't recall one of the other usual suspects posting any of their tracks either.

Never mind, nine great tracks from them on the thread today.

'how can i be sure' was played on SOTS yesterday good to hear it

Also played on SOTS was Reservations by Simon Dupree & The Big Sound
, never heard anything else beside Kites from them before

what about 'for whom the bell tolls'? the follow up to 'kites'? #43 in 68

I've found this track on Youtube with a different spelling:-

Charlie Drake - I Bent My Assegai (1962)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itObZdXY8rQ

Good choices!

This is my favourite Drifters recording, playing in one of my vinyl jukeboxes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i42Wuc_Pzoc

thanks for that! i checked and how i spelt it is how its spelt in my not so accurate catalogue!


erm...... this was a top ten in '73, so doesnt qualify at any level for this thread!
(according to my catalogue it wasnt even resleased but failed in the 60's either)

i should have made it clear that yesterdays post was only 'part 1', theres at least two more submissions, not sure yet because theres a lot of re-releases and releases that became hits in the 70's so wont be included.
