Rock Me Baby/Dream Baby/Poison Ivy/Smoke And Stack/Blue Day/Good Morning Little School Girl/You Don't Live Twice/Broken Things/Board And Boogie/You Don't Love Me
I had a request to renew the links for this one and as it was quite an old post thought I'd bring it back to the top for those that may have missed it first time round.
Strange Greatest Hits this one 3 singles from the first incarnation of the Aztecs A and B sides, a single fom 1967 then one single his first with the new heavy rock and boogie version of the Aztecs. The six early tracks also appear on the Linda Lee album that they shared with Johnny Noble. The album cover shows Billy during the heavier phase of his career while the majority of the songs predate it so they must have been trying to cash in on the new image. The interesting thing about the cover is that it shows Billy playing Bass Guitar.

The greatest Festival hits by someone who recorded for Parlophone. I expect he would have been with Havoc and back at #1 when this came out. Greatest Hits it ain't, but it's well worth having, especially for the lost single of 1967. Thanks. Unc.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be a flipped image as well, as he's not only playing bass, he's playing it left-handed.
