Gerry & The Pacemakers - Ferry Cross The Mersey (1965)
Clever songwriting as it ticks all the boxes yet means nothing from what I can see. Good song and vocals.

Shangri-Las - He Cried 1966
Genius music. Just brilliant. Originally She cried which I don't like as much, it seems more unpleasant. I used to spin this a lot in the early 80s.
Little Walter Boogie
Not the best title but the music is top notch. I used to play this a lot in the old days.

FIRE AND ICE (1983) - New 4K Restoration - 2160p UHD Movie Trailer - Blue Underground
From The Director Of The Original Animated THE LORD OF THE RINGS And The Illustrator Of CONAN THE BARBARIAN
It began as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the greatest icons of the fantasy genre: Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi (director of FRITZ THE CAT, WIZARDS and the original THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta (creator of the iconic CONAN THE BARBARIAN, VAMPIRELLA and Edgar Rice Burroughs book covers). It became – and remains – one of the most startling animation epics of all time. Now experience a world unlike any ever seen, where savage warriors, horrific monsters and luscious maidens battle for the soul of a civilization in a time of good and evil, pleasure and pain, and FIRE AND ICE. Featuring the voice talents of William Ostrander (CHRISTINE), Maggie Roswell (THE SIMPSONS), Steve Sandor (STRYKER), Stephen Mendel (JACK FROST), and the incomparable Susan Tyrrell (CRY-BABY), Blue Underground is proud to present FIRE AND ICE in a brand-new restoration, scanned in 4K 16-bit from the original negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby Atmos audio mix!

The Oblivians - "Kick Your Ass" (7-inch version) c1996
Sympathy Sessions - Wikipedia I really liked the Oblivians. They influenced me in the type of stuff I was doing with the Mud Dogs. Oblivians - Wikipedia
The Oblivians are an American garage punk trio founded in 1993. In the 1990s, their blues-infused brand of bravado, crudely recorded music made them one of the most popular and prominent bands within the underground garage rock scene.
Formed in Memphis, Tennessee, the band consisted of three members—Greg Cartwright, Jack Yarber, and Eric Friedl—who alternated between instruments on stage and in the studio, each member serving as vocalist, guitarist, and drummer, in turn. The band recorded four LPs, as well as a number of EPs and singles, typically recording songs live in the studio.
