Musical Episode #016: Singles Mixer v. 5

Soul Train dancers showing viewers at home how it’s done

This is our fifth installment of “Singles Mixer” which collects the last batch of 45s posted on the site into one hour (or so) long mix.  As such the flow of these mixes might be unusual and in instances where I have posted multiple versions of a song you may hear the same song in different versions.  In this mixer I actually eliminated the Linda Jones version of I’ll Be Sweeter because the record was a little crackly for my tastes.  Otherwise, a great batch of 45′s and the posts all remain so if you’re interested in the history of the records you can always read up later on!

Thanks for listening, I hope these records bring some peace into your world.
