Music Box March 15th 2025

We start with the genius of film & TV composer Edwin Astley, and the hour long Danger Man 1964 opening cue & end theme, from sampler The Music Of ITC (Network 2XCD 2009)
Next up, Edinburgh musician (ex-Josef K frontman) Paul Haig, with Christiana, from the Christmas sampler LP Chantons Noël - Ghosts Of Christmas Past (Les Disques Du Crépuscule 1981 cat no. TWI 058)
Rock 'n' Roll legend Little Richard and single Long Tall Sally (Specialty 7" 1956) composer Enotris Johnson, Richard Penniman (i.e. Richard himself), and Robert Blackwell. Featured in the 1956 film Don't Knock the Rock, it became a world-wide hit, being released in the U.K. by London Records in 1957, no doubt where The Beatles came across it.
I don't know anything about Tennessee garage band The Tangle except what's on the website. This is their sole single Any Time, Any Where (Canary 7" 1966)
We conclude with a brace of official videos for singles by the amazing Melody's Echo Chamber, first Crystallized, and then we finish with I Follow You, both from her modern classic LP Melody's Echo Chamber (Fat Possum/Weird World 2012). Until next week ...
