The guys have some newly acquired classic 1960s dance tunes to spin for you, all on 45 rpm vinyl singles! James went souvenir shopping on a trip to California, and brought back a record by an Ohio funk group before they hit it big, a NYC studio concoction, and a Chicago 1950s R&B jumper. Uwe got lucky and found a couple of big wishlist wants from one of our local record providers, plus some worthy finds in well-loved and poorly-cared-for condition from the flea market. Crank up the volume and shake it to That Driving Beat!
