Hope this helps.
The score for "Maroc 7" (1967) was written by Kenneth V. Jones, but some party music and the tune "Maroc 7" were done by Paul Ferris .
Maroc 7 is a great tune, but unfortunately, no releases as far as I know.

Several Shadows collections however have their cover version of Maroc 7, which is not bad.



Might want to look here if you want to buy a copy

Like the Sergio Mendes track off Vabosity's selection. Too bad he released crap after Brasil 66..

A selection off The Rock Machine Turns You On, the first ever sampler LP released in Britain by CBS records intending to expose underground tracks.

We've already had Tim Rose's Come Away Melinda and Spirit's Fresh Garbage so here are three more..

Most pop track by them in Britain largely due to this album.

Moby Grape - Can't Be So Bad

'Who's your daddy?' - a very American sounding Zombies.

The Zombies - Time Of The Season

Hypnotic summer song by The Byrds

The Byrds - Dolphin Smile

Last Sunday Tameside Radio played Herb Alpert's Mexican Shuffle. I can just about place it featuring in a British comedy film or a Saturday afternoon sports programme!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mbj6do2t6E

RIP Jerry - and many thanks for such wonderful music.

Releasing records in 15 different languages there are numerous Conniie Francis records that could be considered rare, at least in the UK...

One of their earlier classics - "500 Miles" (1962)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stwt_...eature=related

and covered in french as "J'entends Siffler le Train" by Richard Anthony (issued on Columbia in the UK around the same time).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_UbNicrWXk
I love this thread. Great to see Richard Anthony posted here. (I prefer it to 500 Miles!)

Here's his cover -- J'irai pleurer sous la pluie -- of Crying in the Rain

This was a big hit in 1966. I thought this was supposed to be for records that were great but weren't a hit or only a very minor hit.

indeed that is correct, my thoughts when starting the thread was for 'non top 20' tracks, radio hits, or top 20 that never get played.... there are a few top 20 hits that no one knows.

i wonder how a general thread for 60's hits would fare?.. possibly not as well as this after the initial burst of 'whiter shade of pale', shout, i got you babe etc etc etc had been posted.

Here are four fabulous tracks by The Association, one of my favourite American groups of the sixties. Each track is very different from the other three and all four tracks were singles that the Great British record buying public, in their lack of infinite wisdom, chose to ignore.

The Association - Along Comes Mary (1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro3BC-e_XPo

The Association - Cherish (1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89PFFY4JDNM

The Association - Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies (1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WCcpKpUREs

The Association - Windy (1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlqwpq7xycU

possibly they were too 'square' for the swinging 60's here, but in saying that there were plenty of 'square' uncool acts doing well... like the seekers... i prefer the association though, so its odd why they didnt make it here.

I'm familiar with those tracks by the Birds, but the other three tracks are really good finds.

The 1910 fruitgum company from 1969 "When we get married".

For some reasons (apart from the lyrics) it reminds me of a number of Oasis songs.

And, amazingly different, from the 'kings of bubblegum', famous for 'Simon says' an edgy accomplished progressive rock track!. also 1969.

Thanks for the memory of that one. I had completely forgotten it, but found that I could sing along when hearing it again. Strange song though. As you say who on earth is Craise Finton Kirk, the singer looked a bit of a pranny too. Bit like he was trying to copy Herman or something.

I love all four of these songs, but even more I love Time For Living by The Association, which wasn't a hit either. I could never understand why they didn't make it here.

i heard it on brian matthews s.o.t.s several years ago... but i was driving so couldnt quite get the artist/title. i too had totally forgotten it but when i heard it instantly recognised it.

i was ten to the time it was released, so must have been a 'radio hit', played alot but never charted. thats how i know tracks like 'the days of pearly spencer' and 'solitary man'..
