We say goodbye to Tina Turner in this episode with a few of her 1960s records, and Uwe found where he'd been hiding a lot of his favorite Northern Soul classics. Here's another installment of your 1960s soul, R&B, and mod vinyl dance party.

James bought some records out of a school bus, and Uwe brings in a few non-English language things. We discuss whether these records are antiques, or just old. James breaks a loved and loathed record live on air! On purpose! (Don't worry, it was worn out and going to the trash anyway). It's another 2 hour radio dance party of 60s soul, R&B, and Mod tunes, all on 45 rpm vinyl!

There are some great tunes we didn't know were hiding on flip sides of hits, a few European releases, some late 70s soul sounds we rarely play on That Driving Beat, plus the kind of Northern Soul, 60s R&B, Popcorn, and other Mod-friendly tunes we love to spin.

We veered a little outside of our usual lane of Northern Soul and R&B in this episode to include some ska, pop, rock, funk, crossover, psych, jazz, and a weird Kentucky psych/funk/country rarity by "Daniel". Listen to us struggle to not giggle like teenagers playing a song called "Ain't No Big Thing (But It's Growing)" right out there on the FCC-regulated airwaves!

James dug up a lot of new British Beat, Garage rock, and other Mod-friendly rockers lately he wanted to feature, so Uwe dug some of that kind of stuff out of his record vault and we did a whole show of it. We usually scatter a little of that kind of thing throughout the Northern Soul, 1960s R&B, and similar stuff we concentrate on in most episodes, but this time we let it mostly take over. We feature tunes by The Creation, The Small Faces, The Surprise Package, Zoot Money, The Liverpool Set (from Canada?), Liverpool Five (mostly from London ..read more
