"I never argue with anyone about the death penalty, politics, their football team or God. They are the things nobody changes their minds on, so it's a waste of time."

Simon Napier-Bell


The music that matters from Britain during the sixties; a lost time when the British sports car ruled, BOAC traversed the Empire, and manners were largely adhered to.

I've never seen a stock copy of this 45 let alone an acetate! Wild stuff! I wonder was the "Vipps" an error by the record company? As a freak of 60's UK sounds this blog is a godsend to my eyes/ears! Hats off to you sir keep up the good work.
