Roy’s taking a break (no pun intended) from the 78s this week. Instead, prepare yourself for a fresh Fingerfulla 45s that’ll meander through the musical meadows. You’ll hear obscure blues from Betty James and George (Wild Child) Butler; hard country from George Jones (Sinatra’s second favourite singer) as well as the Louvin Brothers; British invasion sounds from the Zombies, Dusty Springfield, and the Beatles; Americanized British invasion sides from the Knickerbockers and Paul Revere & The Raiders; some soul from Jackie Wilson and Little Willie John; even an obscure Bob Dylan single that turns fifty this year.

You might want to tune in this Sunday, June 27^th, 1 PM, Mountain, for a Fresh Fingerfulla 45s on Roooy’s Record Room, the program that continues to revolve. Fifteen years and counting!

Note: This is an encore presentation of an earlier edition of RRR.
