The above was the first ever post to this thread. It was posted on 27th May 2010. It is now 27th May 2011. Yes, the thread is one year old, which is fantastic news. What’s more, the thread has almost 50,000 views, which is also fantastic news. I think the OP and everyone who’s contributed should all give themselves a bit pat on the back.
I don’t believe anyone thought this thread would still be going strong a year later. I distinctly remember submitting a Christmassy track last July because I was convinced the thread wouldn’t be around at Christmas! So delighted I was wrong.
I have certainly enjoyed contributing to this thread over the last twelve months, but I now feel that after a year my supply of good not too well known sixties tracks that are new to the thread has finally been exhausted. However, as posting to this thread has become almost an addiction, I’ve decided to carry on posting and to
re-submit tracks in my next few posts. Essentially, in each of these posts, I will feature five of my favourite tracks from each page of the thread. Let’s face it, they deserve to be heard again, not left to languish on those earlier pages.
Starting at the very beginning, here are five of my favourite tracks from Page 1 of the thread:-
The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee
