A classic from Jimmy Rushing – recorded at a time when he was really finding a new audience for his vocals!

The second album from Kid Creole & The Coconuts – a mad mix of grooves with a very unique style!

Almost a late British invasion group – and a pretty darn groovy one at that! The Magic Lanterns hail from the UK, but they've got a sound that's picked up some of the Sunshine pop and jazzier touches of the US pop scene in the late 60s – heard to great effect on the title hit "Sham ...

The Move are looking a bit fuzzier here than in their earlier years – and they're sounding a bit fuzzier too, but in a way that's totally great!
