45s and Other Revolutions: A-Sides beginning with the letter H.

The Ventures [00:35] a side: "Hawaii Five-O" b side: "Soul Breeze" Liberty Records 56068 1968 Their rendition made it all the way up to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. Dean a Britta with Sonic Boom [04:52] a side: "He's Coming Home" b side: "Old Toy Trains" Chimney Rocks! Records PAD-002 2007 Britta with a fine variation on The Wailers' "She's Coming Home". Not those Wailers, the Seattle garage rock Wailers. Dean with a fine cover of a Roger Miller seasonal tune, with Omnichord! Speaking of which, yes that Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3). Vanity 6 [12:31] a side: "He's So Dull (stereo)" b side: "He's So Dull (mono)" Warner Bros. Records 7-29955 1982 Ugh... so dull. But so nice, I had to play it twice! And evidently can be briefly heard in "National Lampoon's Vacation". Who knew? Boston Spaceships [17:33] a side: "Headache Revolutions" b side: "Dementia Is Rising/Take That Off (and Put This On)/7 is the Hot Noose" Happy Jack Records HHRR21 2008 Yes indeed: Robert Pollard and Chris Slusarenko of GBV plus John Moen of The Decemberists and The Jicks and other Northwest bands. Psychedelic Furs [26:38] a side: "Heartbreak Beat" b side: "New Dream" Columbia Records 38-06420 1986 Feels like 1986. Climbed up to #26 on the Billboard Hot 100, evidently the only time they cracked the Top 40 in the US. Ray Price [35:40] a side: "Heartaches by the Number" b side: "Release Me" Columbia Records 4-33044 The first version recorded of this Harlan Howard classic. The original b-side was "The Same Old Me", but this is a "collectable" reissue so whaddya gonna do. The DeFranco Family [42:17] a side: "Heartbeat, It's a Lovebeat" b side: "Sweet, Sweet Loretta" 20th Century Records TC-2030 1973 Don't bore us, get to the chorus. Reached #3 on the Hot 100. Don Felder [47:56] a side: "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride) (stereo)" b side: "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride) (mono)" Asylum Records E-47175 1981 You say this guy used to play with the Eagles? I'll be damned... Music behind the DJ: "Trade Winds" by Billy Vaughn and his Orchestra.
