Episode #88: The Five Americans in MONO


In an episode first broadcast August 26, 2013, host Andrew Sandoval plays twenty 1960’s 45’s collected from his recent travels through the United States working with The Monkees. These include singles by: The Berkeley Kites, The Lime, The Impact Express, The In-Keepers, The Scene, The Lovin’, Crowd +1, Bazooka, The Long Brothers, Disciples of Shaftesbury, Bobby Lile, The Chips, Johnny Draper, The Fireballs, dRAKE, The Higher Elevation, The Hamilton Face Band, The Back Seat, The Downtown Collection and Crib & Ben.

Hour two features 20 slices of the Five Americans in MONO! Many of these sides have never appeared on CD, let alone in mono, and if you are not familiar with the songwriting of Mike Rabon, Norman Ezell & John Durrill, you are in for both an education and a treat. From Garage to Pop to Baroque to Psych to Bubblegum to Soft Pop to total Heavyocity, these five Americans pretty much did it all.
