bugger it then...it's not my fault your sister got the wrong artists  :P :P

LOL! :D
Actually these or songs from different 70s compilation CDs she checked out of the library. There are lots of them that Rhino Records released that don't include the original or most played artist.

#15 is "Draggin' The Line" by Tommy James.  :)

Just a guess.

Hi Indy...

...actually quite a good CD your sister's knocked up there! Compliments to her...

I'll try three...

#6. Ride Captain Ride - Blues Image (do they say that, or "be amazed AT the friends?" - I'll have to go and listen...)

#20. Don't Say You Don't Remember - Beverly Bremers (likewise, was it "rode" or "wrote" - more listening...)

#24. No probs with this one, tho' - Daddy Dewdrop - Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It?) (murdered over here by Jonathan King (again!) - worth putting him away for that alone!)

Regards...

3 for 3, Paul_UK! :) :) :)
6. It is "Be amazed AT the friends"
20. It is indeed 'wrote' not 'rode'. ;)

#14. One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & Shipley

#21 is giving me gip - any clues on that one?

14 correct, Paul_UK! :)
21. I didn't get a song list with the song names on them. And my Googling didn't help either. But I believe the song title is synonymous with "little fibs".
