Tribute to the Rolling Stones (Sung by The Winstons).


“It’s Monster Surfing Time” By The Deadly Ones VeeJay Records. (1964) Hear the title track and other genre-mashing monster/surf songs at “Music for Maniacs”

“Until He Comes” by Rick Taylor on Herald Records. Taylor quickly released his follow-up album, “Rick Comes” which critics called “a mess” and fans dismissed as “over the top.” Unfortunately, his career ended prematurely, though he did make a brief comeback attempt in the early 80’s with the forgettable “The Softer Side of Rick Tayor.”

“Out of Nowhere” Johnny Green and his Orchestra Regent Records This guy wrote “Body and Soul” too!

“Inside Sauter-Finegan” A common, yet remarkable Jim Flora cover on RCA Records. (1954) This is Sauter-Finegan’s first 12-inch LP. It was packaged with a gatefold cover of a sort peculiar to RCA Victor at the time - the record is removed from an opening at the inside spine of the spread-open cover. There was no danger of a record falling out of one of these covers. Here you can buy the T-Shirt!

“Road Runner” Jr. Walker & The All Stars On Motown’s Soul subsidiary label. (1966) A stone cooker from Jr. Walker — the kind of hard-driving soul that made his 60s Motown work a key link between the Detroit sound of the time, and R&B sounds of earlier years! Jr’s soulful sax is right up in the mix on most numbers — and the overall sound is nicely freewheeling and almost spontaneous — almost a Motown studio jam at times, with vocals and instruments dancing together in joyous formation! Most tracks are instrumentals, but many also have some sort of vocal chorus — and titles include “Anyway You Wanta”, “Pucker Up Buttercup”, “Twist Lackawanna”, “San Ho Zay”, “Money”, “Last Call”, “Ame Cherie”, “Mutiny”, and “Road Runner”. - Dusty Grooves
