One last show before James jets off to England for a few weeks, and it's packed with soul, rhythm & blues, garage rock, psych, and quite a bit of classic British Beat, Mod, pop, and other bits and bobs.

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!

The show will return in November!

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!
