  1. 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!

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.
