Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl...




Now i wonder how many here have heard of Gerry Rafferty or his earlier band Steelers Wheel? Probably very few. You could count the fingers on one hand.

Here's another of these exquisite 60's beat instrumentals
I want to find and add here more sparkling instrumentals 1960's that are as cool as this

The Beach Boys - Rocking Surfer (from Surfer Girl 1963 album). But contains annoying hiss on one channel. To these ears, the vinyl mix is marginally better.

[Walter Hale 4]

The Remains. Once Before (1966 Beat Group) - Mono 45 and Stereo Comparisons...

[Walter Hale 4]

It's all about "Honey" with this latest Sun Legends 5-pack














Bonus: Elvis Presley. Money Honey [VINYL Needledrop - 24bit HiRes], HQ

[Walter Hale 4]

Aaaahhh Yes !!

Absolute Sublime record by the Fab Four released 1965 and a number one in the UK.
And on this sparkling new mix here, very decisively done with the separation on their vocals!

Grab your headphones and listen carefully








A good look here at how many cover versions. Shows the songs strength and endurance through the ages...

The Heartbeats - Time Won't Let Me...

Interesting find. They must've got their name from Buddy Holly song 'Heartbeat' who was from their region.
