23 September 2023
with Pat McManus & Andy Stoddart, St Patrick's Day 2022, Wolverhampton
Saturday 23rd September 2023
This was a VERY good week for pop,
psychedelic and early progressive rock singles. Perhaps it was
because BBC Radio 1 would launch in a little over one week in
1967 and the record companies had bought forward releases vying
for national promotion and chart success. Apologies to fans of
new music. We plan to resume the voyage to the unknown region
next week...but check out the quality from 56 years ago:
