Beer So Nice Right On

Another show of funk and soul craziness. Some newer tracks, some older ones. Most of them I have played on the show already, but not in a while. That Sandra Williams on Neo-Fo is just amazing...don't think there is another copy around. I haven't seen one.

Its Not What You Know

Playing the Bob and Gene 45 from vinyl finally!!! Nice to have the full 2 hours back for Galactic Fractures. I really packed in the songs on this show, not much talking. Be sure to check out the two versions of "Same Thing It Took". I was actually more aware of the rare gospel 45, cause of its recent rerelease on Numero Group. The Impressions do a nice secular version though. I recently got hipped to that fantastic Nina Simone track I had been ignoring for far too long, so don't miss that one either!

Special Guest John Book

(From John Book)

"My guest DJ spot on Galactic Fractures is perhaps what I like to do when I write about music. I like to offer a good portion of the unknown and not-well-known, along with offering variations of what you may be very familiar with. The music was selected to show off some of the music and records I have, and was done so with the listener in mind. When the welcome mat was offered for me to enter Galactic Fractures once again, I made sure I put together the show with the utmost respect, just as the show does for the music it plays on a regular basis."

I apologize for the technical difficulties and cut-outs, but it was a (fairly) successful live broadcast!
