Another good year of instrumental music record releases, sounds of smooth, scintillating tones to my Kenwood receiver.

Ah, those were the days when non-verbal recordings waxed on Top 40 playlists!

Is #33 the flip side of the A side?
KFXM had a habit of playing the
B side of some hits. Later flip
to the A side.
Never ever heard that Bobby Vee song.

Do love THAT HAPPY FEELING just
coming into the top 40. Something
so snappy about that tune. Never
a big hit but loved it while it
lasted.

The flip of # 33 "In My Baby's Eyes" by Bobby Vee is " Sharing You" which got to #15 on Billboard.

Now that one I know.
KFXM does it again. They
continued a little of playing
the B side through April, 1966.
They were playing the B side
of LOVE IS LIKE AN ITCHING.....
Didn't last long and they flipped
it to the A side.
