Unit 4 + 2 - Concrete And Clay (1965) Today we're going to keep that Latin beat while we hobble on over to this London construction site and check out Unit 4 + 2. Although the band name sounds like an industrial band from the 90's we actually have a sweet pop rock group with 4 vocalists plus the 2, referring to the drummer and bassist, with a number 1 hit in the UK in 1965.  The lead singer here is Tommy Moeller, who is the brother of Billy Moeller (aka the actor who toured as Whistling Jack Smith) which we listened to a few days ago.  Now let's grab our hammers and hard hats and here we go...

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.
