another packed year with loads of decent tracks, but fewer 'all time greats'... many of the 60's previous greats were losing their impact apart from the small faces, the monkees crashed, dave dee was all over the place and after xanadou, lost it. bubblegum was popular and soul was starting to make more of a mark... the shape of things to come?

I still enjoyed it by buying the film's soundtrack - thus avoiding my ears being offended by the monenegro $h!te!

 

Norma

.......... ps look out for '1981' , ennio morricone just might get a mention! ;)

 

I suppose that'll be with Chi Mi! The theme to the David Lloyd George TV series? I love that tune too!
