Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich

I recently got 4 new SHM CD kami sleeve releases by 60’s UK pop band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. I read recently that Mr. Dave Dee passed away. In the 80’s, I found an original LP of their 2^nd album, “If Music Be The Food Of Love…Prepare For Indigestion” (Fontana) in New Zealand, a mono copy. When I popped in the new CD of it, the whole album is in stereo, and it sounds marvelous. I think they are a very under-rated UK 60’s band.

So, I’ve been casually working on my DDDBM+T collection for about 25 years. It will take a few weeks to fully listen to the 4 x new CD’s I just got. The sound is so good! Same era, studio, instruments (?) as Manfred Mann, The Who et al.

If you’re one of those downloadin’ folks, try “He’s A Raver” to see what I am talking about!
