Groove Yard Show - Visit 223 We have rummaged really deeply through the recorded relics in The Groove Yard for this visit finding forgotten 45s, long lost LPs, and great golden gems from the music of the 20th Century creating a strange mixture of music. There is some Punk Dub, I don’t know what else to call it. Then some Pop Jazz, you’ll hear what I mean. A foursome of Rockabilly. And we end with Pink Floyd. But we start with just a slight touch of Post Punk. Forgotten 45s, long lost LPs, and great golden gems from the music of the 20th Century.
