Uwe scored a few rare records this week, including a big one from Erma Franklin and a real rarity by Lord Jim and the VIPs. James is still working through his record digging score of the decade 2 weeks ago, and has been concentrating on the ones on the Wand label for this episode. We play some few songs that are about other songs and their named dances, a groovy version of the Batman theme from the height of the 1966 Batman craze, and a LOT more early 70s funky grooves than you'll be accustomed to hearing on That Driving Beat.
