the kinks and the Zombies, there
are the lesser knowns but still
important chart toppers from the
likes of The Foundations, Unit
4+2, the Torpedeos, and the
Fortunes.

compiled and produced by
Richard and Garson Foos, and
T. J. Labinsky
The set evens contains a rairity,

Yellow.
A bright and coloruful booklet
