On the turntable this week

The Dave Clark Five -- Finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month, the Fab Five gave the Beatles quite a run for their money in 1964 and '65. These guys were a lot more than "Glad All Over." Personal favorite: the "Having A Wild Weekend" soundtrack from the DC5's only film which marked John Boorman's debut as a director. It's a noirish classic of sorts, look it up, AKA "Catch Us If You Can." And don't miss Tom Hanks' induction speech for the band: He really captures what it was like to be a kid in the '60s.

Early Belle and Sebastian -- Scotland's greatest band?

Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire and Let's Live for Today by the Grassroots -- Two great albums that share the same producer/songwriter in P.F. Sloan, and as result many of the same songs. But what a difference a few voices make.

Jackie Gleason presents Music, Martinis and Memories -- Hey, it's always Happy Hour some place in the world, isn't it?

Thanks to Steve and Andrea for the Grand Funk T-shirt. That's one band I don't play too often, but out of sight, out of mind.
