Benchmark – Blast From The Past

Been meaning to do this mix for awhile, it’s a mixed bag of 60’s 70′ Folk, Prog, Pscyadelic Rock and a few other genres. Most of them had been sitting in my ‘to sample’ folder as they contain either great melodies or fat breaks, and few I just generally like.

Hope you enjoy.

02. Jesus is alright – The Birds
03. No milk today – Hermans Hermits
04. Get thy bearings – Donovan
05. Oh Woman – Thornton, Unger, Peel & Fradkin
06. Classical gas – Mason Williams
07. Skies above – The Equals
08. Down man â€“ Brainbox
09. Diamonds – Jet Harris
10. Secret agent man – The Ventures
11. Headin’ for the Texas border – Flamin’ Groovies
12. Hocus Pocus – Focus
13. To where I belong – Chico Magnetic Band
14. I’m going mad – The Scopians
15. Snakeskin – Julie Felix
16. Egyptian reggae – Jonathan Richmond
17. Down on the corner – Creedance Clearwater Revival
18. Brown Sugar – Rolling Stones
19. Happy together – The Turtles
20. Sunshine man – Magic Bubble
21. While my guitar weeps – Jimmy Ponder
22. Knights in white satin – Moody Blues

Really enjoyed this…didn’t notice ‘Classical Gas’ in the playlist so that was a nice surprise, and that cover by Jimmy Ponder was bloody marvellous

Classical Gas is a great track, there are numerous versions of it, but this one is my favourite.

Are there? Mason Williams is the only one I’ve ever heard, no need for another version when his sounds so good

The Shadows did a cover, which is really good and also I think Vanessa Mae even did a version, haven’t heard that one though.

That mix between ‘while my guitar weeps’ & ‘knights in white satin’ gave me goosebumps.
Sublime.
