Are you a Gene Pitney fan? - he's in the show most weeks but we have a weekly one-hour programme 'Gene Pitney And Friends' on twelve radio stations(ten in the UK). We started this month on a local station in Gene's home-state of Connecticut - see details below and since then two further stations have joined us - West Norfolk Radio and Serenity Sound Radio. A Facebook page has been set up to support the programme, take requests and for information on the artist you won't find published elsewhere. It's a closed group so you need to apply to join The Gene Pitney Show.

Jasmine Records have a great new Jimmy Justice CD. Although he only had a handful of UK hits he made some great singles over a four year period for Pye...most of them collected here together with really good album tracks from the day. Really popular on the programme, we featured one of his tracks this week.

Really good set from the Monkees issued by Rhino. All nine albums from 'Meet The Monkees' through to 'Changes' in 1970 - plays started this month - all CD's in the original sleeves, too. And there's a bonus CD, too, with later recordings.

And just below an imported release from the Crazy World of Arthur Brown - a set of 3CD's and an LP including, of course, their number one - 'Fire'. Expect to pay around �45 for this set.
