Just like it's elder sibling, this mixtape takes some of the B sides and album tracks you won't find on oldies or classic rock radio and serves them up cold! This time, it is the era of a lot of my mad dog days, the seventies! I wanted this to work as a mix, but I also wanted it to be fairly chronological, so it proves to be an alternative skip through an odd decade.

	Track 6 from What A Bunch Of Sweeties Length: 00:09:12 Year: 0000

	Track 14 from Box Set Disc 1 Length: 00:03:57 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Probably the most obscure officially released Zep tune. It first appeared on an Atlantic sampler (The New Age Of Atlantic, I think) and surfaced much much later on the Zep Box Set. It is an acoustic romp with Plant in fine voice. SHOW LESS

	Track 0 from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars Length: 00:02:46 Year: 1972
	Track Description: A single in 1972, and a hit of sorts in the UK, but worth mentioning here, just because of it's strangeness, and the killer bassline. "Won't someone dance with meeeeeeeeeee!" SHOW LESS
4	Jethro Tull : Nursie
	Tull used to pack them in on the B side of singles. This short melancholic acoustic number was the third track [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 19 from Living In The Past Length: 00:01:35 Year: 0000

	Track 11 from Red Rose Speedway (expanded edition) Length: 00:03:08 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Originally a double A side single (with 'Mary Had A Little Lamb') this jolly rocky tune was banned by the BBC in England because it alluded to dope smoking, sex, contraception, and other unpleasant un British things that went against Macca's image as the most mainstream of the former fab four! SHOW LESS
6	Yes : America
	Another track originally released on an Atlantic sampler. This is an elongated jam based around a Paul Simon s [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Yesterdays Length: 00:10:35 Year: 1975

	Track 1 from Starless And Bible Black Length: 00:04:02 Year: 1974
	Track Description: From an unfashionable period in Crimson's history, yet this is avtriolic track as they offer "...Cigarettes, Ice-Creams, figurines of the Virgin Mary." Fripp close to his best. SHOW LESS

	Track 4 from BBC Sessions 1973-1978 Length: 00:03:01 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Pubrock mainstays Dr Feelgood caught in all their raw wonderfulness in a BBC radio session. This is a rare stab at a Freddie King number. SHOW LESS

	Track Description: The original version of the Nick Lowe. Lowe was one of two main songwriters for this mid 70's pub rock band who were hyped into oblivion by an over eager record company in the last lunatic years before punk. SHOW LESS
10	Can : The Empress And The Ukraine King
	When 'Krautrock' was beginning to be of interest in the UK, Virgin released a compilation of doodlings by Faus [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Unlimited Edition Length: 00:04:41 Year: 0000
	Track Description: When 'Krautrock' was beginning to be of interest in the UK, Virgin released a compilation of doodlings by Faust priced at 48 pence, and called it 'The Faust Tapes.' It was hard to listen to, but everybody had a copy due to the price. Atlantic got in on the act, releasing a compilation of home recordings by Can, priced at 99 pence. This was altogether more accessible and led me to a lifelong admiration of Can. I love the waqy this track repeatedly almost falls apart but never quite does. SHOW LESS
11	John Martyn : Root Love
	I will champion this man's music, even if he doesn't even do that very often these days. A rare slab of slow m [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Sunday's Child Length: 00:04:35 Year: 1975
	Track Description: I will champion this man's music, even if he doesn't even do that very often these days. A rare slab of slow menacing guitar rock with an insinuating guitar hook. SHOW LESS
12	Ian Dury & The Blockheads : Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll
	This appeared on the gold edition of this album, but was originally a limited release single in the UK. It got [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 11 from New Boots And Panties Length: 00:03:14 Year: 0000
	Track Description: This appeared on the gold edition of this album, but was originally a limited release single in the UK. It got some airplay despite the lyrical content. "Sex and drugs and rock and roll are all my brain and body need. Sex and drugs and rock and roll are very good indeed." SHOW LESS
13	Gregory Isaacs : A Riot
	Even in his heyday, Reggae did not begin and end with Bob Marley. Isaacs was played on my turntables loud and [...] SHOW MORE

	Track Description: This was recorded live on the Stiff records tour of the UK in 1977, the tour that prompted EC to write "Pump It Up."
