Ghetto Brothers - There Is Something In My Heart (1971)

This Band/Gang from the Bronx might’ve come up with the most Merseybeat melody I’ve ever heard.

Duane Eddy
7" single (1959)
Track: Peter Gunn
Written by American composer and conductor Henry Mancini, this is early rock & roll at its best. One massive and catchy riff, and very heavy on the reverb.

Incredible 1981 debut from Brixton via the Bronx group the Love Joys. Originally released on Florida label Top Ranking & mixed at Wackies who would later reissue the album whilst reworking some extended versions for the equally ace follow up Lovers Rock Reggae Style.
