Xavier Cugat & His Orchestra - La Playa (Aruba) (1966) Say what? It's time for a little Latin Space Age Pop as spring tries to push its way through winter and the sun blinds us reflecting off the melting snow.

The Rockin' Vickers - I Go Ape (1964) Hey. Check it out. It's the Rockin' Vickers blazing through a cover of a Neil Sedaka song. They eventually had Lemmy from Motorhead in the band, but not as of this recording, so I suppose that's not really relevant. Have a nice day.
