Musical Episode #078 : Percolatin’ an hour of soul stirring 45s!

Willie Mitchell getting ready to roll some tape. Legendary producer, writer and musician Mitchell’s upbeat clapper Percolatin’ is featured on today’s hour long mix of 45s.

Hey all, been a bit but that’s the nature of the beast! Been exceptionally busy lately but carved out a little time to put together this mix and prepare a few others so hopefully there will be more coming soon! I’ve been fortunate over the past few months to get in a couple of good record digging “trips” in, more like stops on a trip, but got some great stuff that I mostly haven’t been able to properly sort, file, digest, etc but hopefully have those in some upcoming mixes!

Today’s mix was initially going to be all northern soul oriented but I ended up breaking it up a bit more, still all relatively upbeat records but a bit of a Girl Group and blue eyed/garage diversion thrown in the mix. Almost everything is from the 60’s with two early 70’s strays stirred into the stew. I say it in the footer of every post, but please support artists directly where you’re able!

That’s all for today, hope you’re all holding up ok and the music brings a bit of joy to your day.

Peace,

-George / Snack Attack
