Delphine - La fermeture eclair (In the past by We The People)
Sylvie Vartan - Whirlpool (original by Wanda Jackson)
Womack Sisters - Darling (Darling come back home by Valentinos = Womack Brothers)
Sheila played that last cover quite a lot. I found it so good that I ordered a single with the song (1 copy)

Love your show and international musical offerings. I know female pop and rock music was discouraged as Western by the government in Poland during the 1960s. They did have an interesting artist Ewa Demarczyk. May i request you listen to (on you tube) and maybe play one if her songs. I like Groski I róże. (1000 peas)

Crystals sounding great as always, followed beautifully by Bat For Lashes. Very nice broadcast today, glad to listen. Took me for a bit of a journey of memories thinking about the service entrances of Manhattan. The last five years I spent rolling dollies in and out of those entrances nearly seven days a week. They are cities within the city. 8 months or so met a girl and decided to take a jump moving across the country, and now the manhattan service entrances are made of memories instead of concrete to me. I once worked in a building where the doors were made of gold and were not meant to be shut, haha, I'll reserve my opinion about how I felt about that, but it's fun to look back upon.
