Billy Fury, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and another "could it be anything other than a posthumous record" from Jim Reeves.      Decent, but not overly strong material from Roy Orbison and Marianne Faithful.    Thankfully, there's the Animals and DC5 to hold up the higher end of the spectrum!    #madeonzencastr.  Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Also, Create your own podcast today!  #madeonzencastr
