The following tracks first featured in posts that I made to Pages 27, 28 and 29 of this thread. However, the original clips have now been removed from Youtube, so here are some alternative clips.

The Mar-Keys - Last Night (1961)

The Tornados - Telstar (1962)
You may be wondering why such a well-known, massive hit is on this thread. Well, the track originally featured in a post I made on New Year’s Day, a day when, as you may or may not recall, thread rules were relaxed and people were allowed to submit any sixties track they wished and not just rare ones.

Burt Bacharach and his Orchestra and Chorus - Trains and Boats and Planes (1965)

Smith - Baby It’s You (1969)

A couple of good ones from San Francisco Bay area band The Baytovens -

My House (recorded in 1966 but not issued until 2007)

Waiting For You (1967)

Don't think that Timi Yuro has been mentioned in this thread before, she had a sensational voice as this example from 1963 should confirm.

Timi Yuro I'm Moving On (Part 2 )

I don't know that track , but 'It'll Never Be Over for Me' is one of my all time faves.

Had to post another Timi Yuro track, this time her version of Johnny Cash's I Walk The Line .

Well, there eventually turned out to be more than 34 tracks and it's taken me about 9 or 10 (rather than 6 or 7) posts to do all the relevant re-submits, but this exercise has finally been completed and I can now get on with once again submitting tracks that are new to the thread.

Let's start with these three:-

Johnny Dankworth and his Orchestra - African Waltz (1961)
Excellent track from one of Britain’s greatest ever jazz musicians.

Ben E. King - Don't Play That Song (1962)
A week ago I submitted Aretha Franklin’s classic cover version of this song to the Rare 70’s thread. Here’s the original.

The Mojos - Everything’s Alright (1964)
Great track from a fine Liverpool band who never quite achieved the same level of success as some of the city's other bands during the heyday of the Merseybeat sound.

absolutely love that track!

I agree - and how about this for a change of mood?

A couple more from Lulu.

Lulu - Leave A Little Love (1965)
This all but forgotten gem is a real favourite of mine.

Lulu - Call Me (1966)
This Tony Hatch composition was originally recorded by Petula Clark. I can’t seem to find Pet’s version on Youtube, so here’s Lulu’s non-charting, but nonetheless excellent cover.

Good choices....how about this one too?

Another later gem by The Mojos:
The Mojos- Until My Baby Comes Home (1968)

Quite a different sound but I love it!

Anyone remember this one by "The Moles"? It was thought at the time that they were the Beatles under a pseudonym but apparently it was Simon Dupree and the Big Sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jm263nN4hk

here's a few more that I'd almost forgotten:

The Marauders - That's What I Want
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJEBD1vjdu0

The Measles - Casting My Spell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw0pf...eature=related

The Ugly's - It's All Right
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfvqJ...eature=related

And this absolute gem from Elton John that never gets played:

just submitted this in the retro chart from 68 thread... the symbols 'the best part of breaking up'... is this the original? not sure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mInouYfMA0

Original (I believe) was by the Ronettes in 1964.

of course! thanks .... memory is slipping...

Lou Reed was 69 yesterday and has announced he's playing the Hammersmith Apollo July 4. Here's in my view his greatest ever ballad, Pale Blue Eyes from the often overlooked third Velvet Underground album (1969):

Mark Linkin, bassist for the Electric Prunes, died suddenly last week age 62. Here's in my view their best track, The Great Banana Hoax (1967). Third UK single which I played to death, LP cut linked which I believe is slightly longer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjfnKfq1B_0

Title refers to a letter in a California paper which claimed that you could get high by smoking banana peel.

Don't think we have any novelty records in this thread , so to put that right .

Harry H Corbett - Like The Big Boys Do


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUaUK...eature=related

Good track that one. I've always thought it was forerunner of those 70s rock'n'roll revival type hits.

I then found out that the singer was later in the Rubettes which probably explains it!

I like this one by the Symbols as well which was a cover of a US record by the Four Evers:
The Symbols - A Lovely Way To Say Goodnight (1968)

The Four Evers - A Lovely Way To Say Goodnight (1966)

Listen to this track from 1968, and tell me it isn't absolutely gorgeous!

i didnt know that!!

mind you, most of the big acts of the glam/rock n roll revivalists were 60's failures (or under acheivers)... gary glitter, alvin stardust, slade, t rex, sweet, bowie,etc (thats 1972's chart heros lol)... actually i think only woody had 60's and 70's success ..(move wizzard) although quo had a little.

Such a rare gem I'm giving it it's own thread...

Joe Simon's version of Misty Blue from 1969 . Just as good a version as the more famous Dorothy Moore version.

interesting .... this mornings bbc tv show 'heir hunters' this morning featured what turned out to be one of our 'liked' musicians....tim rose, of 'hey joe' and 'morning dew' fame...

Some great “B” sides from four top British bands of the sixties.

The Beatles - Yes It Is (1965)
“B” side of Ticket To Ride.
A song primarily written by John Lennon and apparently one of his least favourite compositions. Well, he may not have liked this track, but I love it!

The Rolling Stones - The Spider and the Fly (1965)
“B” side of Satisfaction.
A Jagger/Richards composition deeply rooted in the blues. Fabulous track.

The Kinks - Where Have All the Good Times Gone? (1965)
“B” side of Till The End of The Day.
Most bands would give their eye-teeth to have a song as good as this in their repertoire, but such was the treasure-house of Ray Davies compositions that the Kinks had at the time that this fantastic track was only put out as a “B” side. The “A” side, Till The End Of The Day, is imho a cracker too, and although it was a Top Ten single, it’s not one of their better remembered tracks, so it’s a definite possibility for inclusion in a future post.

Manfred Mann - A ‘B’ Side (1969)
“B” side of Ragamuffin Man.
The very title of this track implies to me that they had to come up with a “B” side for an upcoming single and wrote this one on the back of a fag packet at the very last minute. I’m sure that’s not true because I really like this track, which I consider to be a million times better than the truly atrocious Ragamuffin Man!
