All,
This is something I'll contribute to,,,,,
McLenore Ave. LP - Booker T. & the MG's
It's basically a "cover version" of The Beatles' Abbey Road and it's a
wonderful achievement.
Also, Mel Torme doin' "Happy Together" by the Turtles
This can be found on the Ultra/Lounge "On the Rocks" comp. The way he
swings the last verse/outro is killer.
Lastly, "Blow Up" - James Taylor Quartet
Off the "Mission Impossible" record. Great organ fills and cool swingin'
"60's production

Just another blip on the radar.......

peace,
R. Scott/West Coast Harem
