Monday: (Off for Labor Day)

Tuesday: Jerry Lee Lewis, "Down the Line" (1958)
A side: "Down the Line" (written by Roy Orbison)
B side: "Breathless"
Label: Sun Records
Catalog #: 288
Format: 7" single

Wednesday: The Beatles, The Beatles (White Album) (1968)
We couldn't think of a better song to play on 9/9/09 than "Revolution 9." Are there any other tracks from The Beatles that are this insane?

Thursday: Lesley Gore, The Golden Hits of Lesley Gore (1965)
A collection of Lesley Gore's hit songs. She would never be as sucessful as she was in her early years, she was churning out hits left and right at her peak. She had a hit single in 1963 with the dark, feminist statement, "You Don't Own Me."

Friday: The Lovin' Spoonful, Do You Believe In Magic (1965)
Before forming The Lovin' Spoonful, John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky were in The Mugwumps with Mama Cass and Denny Doherty (of The Mama's and the Papa's). The Lovin' Spoonful was a band that combined folk, rock and pop and churned out quite a few hits in the 60's. Their debut release included their own songs and some old folk tunes like the one we dropped the needle on, "Blues in a Bottle."
