Glued To My Turntable

Hosted by Eddie and Glen. When I get some records they are listened to an put on the shelf (I listen to everything I get), others I find much more difficult to put aside. In this show I play selections from several such records which have charmed me to the point of repeated plays. We feature Lena Horne (and Gabor Szabo) doing the Beatles, Martha Davis and the Motels, Rita Coolidge (singing British pop songs!), Elvin Bishop, Vigrass & Osborne (a different take on a classic song) and the mighty Tim Curry.
