”Alice Long (You’re Still My Favourite Girlfriend)” / ”P.O. Box 9847” (A&M AMS 729) July 1968

Boyce & Hart | P.O. Box 9847 | A&M | 1968 | Today’s piece of ACE paisley pop is Boyce & Hart’s recording of ”P.O. Box 9847” which was released as the B-Side of ”Alice Long” back in the Summer of 1968. Listen out for some fab ’Revolver’ era guitar licks.

The Monkees also recorded this gem for their album ”The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees” Micky Dolenz handles lead vocals. Greatness.

Not exactly inspired to anything by “Alice Long” by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (A&M 729), but they do try hard. (Record Mirror, 20/07/68)

Transistor Pop | Podcast

TRANSISTOR POP

the ‘Transistor Pop’ podcast has been created in conjunction with my YouTube Channel and will become the definitive place to be for your regular prescription of exciting music and sounds from a time long gone and fading fast in people’s memories.

I will explore 1960s teenbeat, folk-rock, fuzz & Farfisa mayhem, psychedelia and bubblegum pop with random excursions into post-sixties garage punk . . . all interspersed with vintage radio adverts and movie promos.

The format is tight and totally wired: 8 songs, 4 adverts, and your expanded mind. Every mix will meet my high standards of sound quality. All uploads are in FLAC. Bring your own beer and acid.
