Thanks BB - a nice collection with as you say some still familiar while others have fallen into (undeserved) obscurity - I hate to think how many versions of Love Is Blue there are!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dr Robert.

Hi BB, thanks for your quick response. The 1963 compies I already have from you. Thanks again! I only asked for 1964 because of the great music in this year and the following years. But I know, it's a heck of a job creating such compilations. Thanks again and cheers
