Robert Pollard’s Guide To The Late 60s podcast- 024 Rolled Gold (The Action) / Mighty Baby (Mighty Baby)Let us show one another things we never usually see with this fascinating but relatively obscure pair of albums. First we examine an unreleased set of songs from North London mod group The Action. Then the debut album from the band they subsequently gave birth to, Mighty Baby.
- 023 Two Yanks In England (The Everly Brothers) / Love Is All Around (The Troggs)First up Phil & Don are dropping their aitches as they get ‘eavily involved in Swinging London and then an album that you’ll feel in your fingers and toes over Andover again.
- 022 Pisces Aquarius Capricorn & Jones Ltd / The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees (The Monkees)Hey hey they’re The Monkees and people may say the hosts monkey around in this episode as they get sidetracked into Tork-ing about wedding receptions, live gigs and, inevitably, Peter Reid.
- 021 Bookends (Simon & Garfunkel) / Head (The Monkees)A diverse pair of albums under discussion here, both of which are soundtrack albums (kind of) and also concept albums (kind of)
- 020 Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake (Small Faces)Are you sitting comfortabold two square on your botty? Then you’re ready to hear us round up this round-covered album. How’s your Bert’s lumbago?
- 019 The Madcap Laughs / Barrett (Syd Barrett)Spread the message to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus because here comes our episode on Syd’s solo albums.
