SONNY & CHER– The Wondrous World of Sonny & Cher – (Atco) – 1966
This is the second studio album by Sonny & Cher. My favourite subversive easy-listening hipster singing duo. I have commented on both “Sonny & Cher” and “Cher” albums before on this blog. Please refer to them for biographical detail. … Continue reading
DAVID DUNDAS – Jeans On – (Crysalis) – 1977
Does one song justify a career? Well maybe but it’s not a question I have to think about because there wasn’t quite a career here. Does one song justify an album? Perhaps not, but in pop it has on … Continue reading
BRIAN HYLAND – Sealed with a Kiss – (ABC Paramount) – 1962
When it comes to white boy pop from the 60s Brian Hyland is the person I know the least about. Maybe it’s because he isn’t a Bobby? I know the Bobby’s : Darin, Vee, Rydell, Vinton. I also know Lou … Continue reading
TOMMY JAMES – My Head, My Bed & My Red Guitar – (Roulette) – 1971

This is probably the first Lindsay album I owned. I heard this before I heard any of his lead vocals for “Paul Revere and the Raiders”. Having said that I wasn’t totally convinced by the album and it has sat … Continue reading
GARY LEWIS & THE PLAYBOYS – Hits Again! – (Liberty) – 1966
What can I say about Gary Lewis that I haven’t already said in this blog? In fact I think I’ve even said that before. Google this blog for other comments on Gary Lewis & the Playboys. … Continue reading
BOBBY VEE – A Bobby Vee Recording Session – (Liberty) – 1962
I have said in the past “I have commented on some of Vee’s later albums which I find quite endearing and much underrated”. That statement goes someway to explaining why I keep listening to new Bobby Vee albums. They … Continue reading
DAVID CASSIDY – Cherish – (Bell) – 1972
David Cassidy has become one of my guilty pleasures. I loved the Partridge Family as a kid but I thought I had outgrown it when I became a teen. I probably had but as the years passed I found … Continue reading
