Vinyl-O-Matic Season 4, Episode 6 45s and Other Revolutions: A-Sides beginning with B, Part 3 0:47 Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich a: "Bend It" b: "She’s So Good" Fontana Records F-1559 (1966) Seems like this this is a dance. Doesn't this seem like a dance to you? (https://youtu.be/MSlpK0U9dhE) 5:32 ABBA a: "Bang-A-Boomerang" b: "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" Atlantic Records 45-3310 (1975) So very 1975. In a good way. 12:36 The Bikinis a: "Bikini" b: "Boogie Rock and Roll (instrumental)" Roulette R-4073 (1958) Scandalous. 16:38 Michael Jackson a: "Billie Jean" b: "Can't Get Outta the Rain" Epic Records 34-03509 (1982) The original is pretty damned awesome, but so is Caetano Veloso's rendition (https://youtu.be/xPOqE7k56nc). 27:15 Bonnie “Prince” Billy a: "Black Dissimulation" b: "No Such As What I Want" All City Nomad (1998) Mr. Oldham never plays things (https://youtu.be/6E29HcgpV1U) the same way twice. 34:36 Joe Bennett a the Sparkletones a: "Black Slacks" b: "Boppin’ Rock Boogie" Paramount Records 45-9837 (1957) Classic (https://youtu.be/7JPzGTFgbt4). 39:19 Martha a the Muffins a: "Black Station/White Station" b: "XOA OHO" RCA Records PB-13824 (1984) Now that's a music video (https://youtu.be/os4eWX88OxA). 46:40 Van Morrison a: "Blue Money" b: "Sweet Thing" Warner Bros. Records 7462 (1971) Definitely a jaunty little number. Music Behind the DJ: “Autobahn” by Krafwerk. Cover image: Abba circa 1975.
