Scholastic Magazine [05:09]
First Men on the Moon: Apollo 11 - July 20, 1969
Side One
I do love me some good NASA audio.

Barbra Streisand [12:01]
a side: "The Way We Were"
Columbia Records 4-45944 1973
This Hamlisch-penned tune debuted at number 92 in November of 1973, and hit number one in February of 1974. Of all things, I'm kinda digging the wah guitar way back in the arrangement.

Tompall and the Glaser Brothers [15:32]
a side: "The Last Thing on My Mind"
MGM Records K13531 1966
From Spalding, Nebraska we have Tompall, with his brothers Chuck and Jim. Tompall would of course join Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Jessi Colter to become an Outlaw (musician) in less than a decade. And there's a nice little "Buckaroo" lick in there.

Herman's Hermits [17:45]
a side: "Silhouettes"
MGM Records K-13332 1965
Thanks to Armed Forces Radio, we have this doo-wop classic by The Rays as interpreted by Herman's Hermits.

Jim Croce [19:45]
a side: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"
ABC Records ABC-11359 1973
Reputedly written about a fellow Jim Croce met in his brief Army career. Kind of reminds me quite a bit of Stagger Lee, but who am I to say. Hit number one in May of 1973 and was still on the charts when Croce's plane crashed in September of that year.

Jimmie Rodgers with Hugo Peretti & His Orchestra [24:24]
a side: "Secretly"
Roulette R-4070 1958
No, not the Singing Brakeman, the other Jimmie Rodgers. This turned out to be a gold record for Mr. Rodgers, reaching number 3 on the Hot 100 and number 5 on the Hot Country charts.

The Shocking Blue [27:01]
a side: "Venus"
Colssus ABC  YYYY
Mareska Veres and her Dutch pals bringing this super hot hit from 1969. Made it to number 1 in 1969.

The 4 Season featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli [30:07]
a side: "Let's Hang On!"
Philips 40317 1965
Wow, that fuzz rock fakeout before the first chorus is pretty awesome. Made it to number 3 on the hot 100 in 1965. I am totally having WCBS-FM flashbacks right now.

Elvis Presley [33:25]
a side: "Burning Love"
RCA Victor 74-0769 1972
A decent enough outing from early 70s Elvis. This reached number 36 on the country charts, and number 2 on the hot 100 in 1972.

First Men on the Moon: Apollo 11 - July 20, 1969
