Today's show has a lot more garage rock and British Beat than usual, some forgotten favorites from James's early days spinning records, bad grammar, record-hunting tales, girl groups, northern soul, R&B, and other 1960s and 70s movers and shakers!

Don't forget: if you're in range of London, England, join me with The Face Radio's Jaf Jervis and Brendan Farrell at Out on the Floor soul night on October 10th at the Mildmay Club!
