A Fingerfulla British Invasion 45s

That’s what’s on the RRR playlist this week. Roy has dug out a Fingerfulla British Invasion 45s (circa 1964-1966) featuring singles from the Kinks, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Lulu, the Beatles, the Dave Clark 5, Sandi Shaw, the Hollies, Manfred Mann, and so many more.
