Where The Good Times Are- Beverley
(Beverley, as in Martyn before she married John, swinging in 60's London with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Nicky Hopkins and Alan White.)
A Different Sunday- Beagle
(Sold to me in 1992 as power pop, Beagle from Sweden feels more like 70's AM radio to me. This one is a fave,)
My Mistake (Was To Love You)- Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye
(Another Motown gem, this was one of my favorites in the summer of '74. Should have been #1, but only reached #19.)
Juice Box- Jackie Mittoo
(I'm going all in that even if you twitch at the thought of another reggae track, you will love this groove.)
Drafted, Volunteered & Enlisted- The Creators
(From an excellent 2021 compilation on Ace titled "This Love Was Real: L.A. Vocal Groups, 1959-1964," this Creators track is one of half dozen I wanted to share.)
Defecting Grey- The Pretty Things
(This single came out in 1967, and it appears occasionally as a bonus track on reissues of 1968's "S.F. Sorrow," which I know is considered a classic, but to me it feels like it tries too hard. This track is more like what I wanted to hear on "Sorrow.")
Nothing Lasts Forever- World Party
(Very true! A Karl Wallinger deep cut to close things out.)

That Brian May cover is fabulous, BTW. 😎
I've never been much of a Queen fan, but May might be pretty high on a list of under-rated guitarists.
