A sixties compilation for you all! Maybe not the best of the sixties stuff, as I am sure you would need at least 20 mixtapes for that; but I like all of these tracks a lot and I hope you do too

enjoy

tracklist

1 The Move : Flowers in the Rain
I am opening this mix up with Flowers in the Rain, which has the distinction of being the first tune played on BBC Radio1. There are about a dozen move tracks I could of picked, this is the one I chose. If you don't know them, check them out Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne before the prog of ELO!

2 The Small Faces : Lazy Sunday
A great track, brings back memories of sitting in my friends house at 3.30 in the morning with this so loud that the walls are shaking. 'Wouldn't it be Nice to Get on with Me Neighbours' sings Steve Marriot in this song...indeed it would be

Usually I wouldn't put 2 tracks by the same artist on one tape, but this one sounds very different to Lazy Sunday. A Psychedelic masterpiece.

I don't know how I missed this when you did it! A very lovely mix. I am made up about the inclusion of the Move. I am just a little fed up with the Steppenwolf track, just because my local Classic Rock station has to play it every other song! I am suprised you didn't slip in an early Bowie gem (there are one or two. 'Heat Of The Morning' for instance?) Bloody great mic though!
