Thanks for another excellent show, Alex.
But in typing the playlist somehow one song got omitted. You played "Rain In My Heart" by Frank Sinatra after the Roy Orbison song. Should be #34 on the playlist.

I see that Frank Sinatra has been added to the playlist, but actually he was played between Roy Orbison and Peter Sarstedt.
Once again, thanks to Lost & Found for playing so many of these still-great records. Although I have many of these original 45's (Cat Mother, Rascals, Spirit, Electric Indian, Keith Barbour, Goodees, Earth Opera, Sir Douglas Quintet, Canned Heat, Dick Hyman, The Road, Peter Sarstedt, and Duke Baxter) only on Lost & Found can we still hear them on the radio. Certainly not further on up the dial!
Trivia: I don't think you mentioned that the Cat Mother record was produced by Jimi Hendrix.
I believe "The Minotaur" was the longest 45 up to that time (running time on the label given as 7:30, beating previous record holders "MacArthur Park" at 7:20 and "Hey Jude" at 7:11 in 1968). Know any longer 45's before 1969?
Interesting that "She's Not There" by The Road didn't even make the Billboard Top 100. It did well here in Boston, reaching #3 on WRKO's top 30 (the week of March 27, 1969). By the way, I recommend to anyone who has that original 45, turn it over and check out the flip side...one of my favorite wacky B-sides.
