Bedazzled!

The Electric Prunes - "You've Never Had It Better" (Le Petit Dimanche Illustre 1.7.68)

Derek's Daily 45: The Small Faces - "Wham Bam Thank You Man" (Alternate Version)

"For some unknown reason (probably as simple as the wrong master being sent out), a few countries in europe received an alternate take of this track- peppier, a few seconds longer and in my opinion even better than the more commonly released British version. This is from the Swedish release, and it shows yet another side of the genius of this legendary group." via dereksdaily45.blogspot.com

Live From The Cavern Club 1965: Gene Vincent, Sandie Shaw, Manfred Mann, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Petula Clark

Some amazing rare footage from French TV. The last 24 minutes or so of the March 31st episode of the French TV show "Age Tendre et Tetes de Bois" features live footage from the Cavern Club in Liverpool. It starts out with a little "News" feature on The Beatles and Beatlemania that is very cool as well.

Gene Vincent - "What'd I Say", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On"
Petula Clark - Introductions    
Sandie Shaw - "Girl Don't Come" (English & French)
Manfred Mann - "Watermelon Man", "Do Wah Diddy"
Petula Clark - "Viens Avec Moi"
Gerry and the Pacemakers - "Ferry Cross The Mersey"

Liquor Giants - "Chocolate Clown" (Video)

Ward Dotson's Liquor Giants, a band I was in briefly in their NYC incarnation. One of the most under-appreciated Pop bands of the last 20 years or whatever. Like a much poppier Paul Westerberg. Great melodies, lyrics, playing and production.

What a beautiful "prop" - "One of the laced, frilly books of odes held and read by Kovacs during the 'Percy Dovetonsils' moments on his many TV shows and specials. Donated to the Hollywood Entertainment Museum, by his widow Edie Adams, and later sold for charity." via www.yourprops.com

The La's - "Son of a Gun" & "There She Goes" - LIVE - TV

God I love these guys. Even if they did just record the same LP 4 or 5 times. One of my 5 Favorite bands of the last 20 years, saw them twice live and they sounded amazing, although they didn't look very...happy. Buy The La's (Deluxe) [Extra tracks, Import]
