What would happen if we locked the door and thre away the key?     I don't know, but Jay and the Americans claim to understand this conundrum.       Meanwhile, Bobby, the Shangri-Las and James Brown continue their run at that British group at the top of the charts!     Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

Cold weather, maybe a little snow, but the hottest hits of 1964 keep you warm.    The Beatles are still on the rise while old favorites such as Chuck Berry and even Gerry succumb to market forces.     We also get a side from the REAL singer behind the Archies.    Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

Who wants to go on a Blind Date with George Harrison?  Millions of girls for sure, but only Hayley Mills and the backpage of the Melody Maker accomplished the feat.      Tune in for Twinkle (but not Little Star), Ken Dodd, Elvis, the CND and a little song that just might be "the first record to start with feedback".    Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

We start on the American charts for November of 1964.  Supremes, Chad and Jeremy, Marvelettes and Little Anthony and the Imperials.    Hey, UMe - when are we getting that 180g reissue of "The Greatest Music Ever Sold".    Who doesn't love a compilation that puts Glen Campbell, Brian Wilson, Beach Boys, Beatles (solo and group) and others on a single "long playing deck?"       Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

More of the British charts for November 1964.    Our first month in the history of the show without a Beatles song in either the British or American charts.      It will be all the way to *next month* for us to Feel Fine again.   Still some quality music as Petula Clark takes us Downtown, the Stones tell us about their Little Red Rooster and the Yardbirds talk about their little schoolgirl.    Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

Still more October fun as we finish the month!     Lots of songs, lots of artists.    More Jan and Dean, Lesley Gore Ronettes and Fats Domino.      Those Liverpool Lads are also holding on, despite their new single not dropping for  several more weeks!  Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr

More October fun.   Side C, the first half of the American charts.    The leader of the pack rolls on, Heuy P. Meaux, Elvis and Ike and Tina go "Vroom!", while we try and determine whether anyone is on that train to Anaheim, Azusa and CucaMonga.     Meanwhile, A Hard Day's Night, Matchbox and  Slow Down are still present for kids trick-or-treating to mime while going door to door in their Beatle wigs.   Happy Halloween, everybody!    Support this podcast at the $6/month level on patreon  to get extra content!   Create your podcast today!  #madeonzencastr
