Our indie Brit punk single comes from Dewsbury West Yorkshire band Psykik Volts and their debut single and sole release Totally Useless (Ellie Jay records 7" 1979), notice the sample from Swan Lake, probably inspired by PiL's Death Disco (the band later became Poptones, after the PiL song), but you can also spot Edvard Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King in the mix too.

Our tour through rare U.K. pop-psyche songs from 1968 comes to an end with this double-bill. Turnstyle were a Kent trio featuring songwriter Mark Ashton on drums. They only released one single, Riding A Wave c/w Trot (Pye 7" 1968) and split up in 1969 with Mark joining Rare Bird. Here are both sides in all their glory. Hope you like them. But never fear, the 60s are never far from my virtual turntable, so this won't be the last 60s rarity I'll post. Until next week ...

R.I.P. Spencer Davis. I saw him in concert in Sydney about 10 years ago. His band were on a tour of clubs along with Paul Jones & the Manfreds.
The Manfreds just played the old hits but The Spencer Davis Group played some great old blues numbers along with the hits!
They were a proper working band!The Spencer Davis Group were a mid-60's British beat group, formed by Spencer Davis and brothers, Steve and Muff Winwood. They're best known for their hit singl...Last edited by wadsy; 21 October 2020, 07:03 PM.

I'm terribly out of touch with modern dance and club music but judging what comes banging out of my neighbour's cars & stereos during Summer I don't think I'm missing much. But I did love London trio UltraÃsta's second LP Sister (Partisan Records 2020). I posted the excellent Harmony in my Best of March list, and now here's two more, the official video for Tin King and then the sweet Anybody. Hope you like them. Buy here: https://ultraista.bandcamp.com/album/sister. Until next week ...
