  • Top Faves for Geoff - 1960s part 1

    From RWC@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 26 00:00:13 2025
    call me self-indulgent if you will :-)

    over two decades, *if I've gotten around to it*, I've suffixed my mp3s
    with blank, (g{old}), (G), (Gg) or (GG) - for future replay and so on
    guidance

    today I'd like to present the first 10 of my (Gg)/(GG) sides from
    1960-1967, chosen as I come across them while perusing my library

    (these are genuine personal faves, absolutely none are calculated to
    impress anyone; in fact, some may well unimpress :-)

    Acker Bilk - Stranger On The Shore - 1962

    This is from 1961 (November 1961 to be precise)

    Originally released in UK on local Columbia label it reached #1 here in
    the first week of January 1962.

    The melody was originally titled "Jenny" but was changed when it was
    selected to front a new childrens BBC-TV serial titled "Stranger On The
    Shore"
