Hello and welcome to Vinyl-O-Matic. I am your old pal will. In this genre-spanning installment, we continue our journey through singles with a-side beginning with the letter M. Let us get things under way with the greatest pop song ever recorded.

Yikes! I think the scariest part of that set was Buck Owens "sexy sensations" on the b-side to his 1974 Capitol Records single "(It's a) Monster's Holiday". This was likely a cash in on the summer of 1973 resurgence of the previous single "Monster Mash" by Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt Kickers on Garpax Records, originally released in 1962. And as I mentioned, that is probably the greatest pop song ever recorded by my humble estimation.
Up next, let's take a dubby trip to the moon.

Hi, welcome back to Vinyl-O-Matic. If you cast your minds back, you will recall that we got that set started off with a 1969 split on Crab Records. The a-side was Derrick Morgan and his hit "Moon Hop", and that was backed with the Reggaites "Harris Wheel". We followed that up with The Silver Fox, Mr. Charlie Rich, with "The Most Beautiful Girl", a tune that falls solidly in the countrypolitan camp.

And now... back to the music.

Welcome space brothers and space sisters, we just heard from The Byrds and their excellent single "Mr. Spaceman", either one of the first space rock tunes or one of the first country rock tunes, depending on who you ask. We also heard a David Crosby tune "What's Happening?!?!" on the flipside. That was released on Columbia Records in 1966. Preceding that was Will Oldham and co recording as Palace Songs and their heavily censorable tune "The Mountain" along with the b-side "(End of) Travelling". That of course is on Palace Records (PR3 for those of you playing along at home) from 1995.
Let us sweeten up out musical journey now with Millie Small.

Two Smash Records singles of two different types. We got that set started off with a Smash Records All Time Smash Hits 1970 reissue of Millie Smalls 1964 single "My Boy Lollipop" backed with "Sweet William". Sales of the original launch Chris Blackwell and his Island Records label into the mainstream. We closed that set out with The Angels and their classic "My Boyfriend's Back" and the weird flipside "Now" from 1963.
This concludes our show for now. If my sources are correct, next time we will round out our journey through singles that begin with the letter M and delve into singles that begin with the letter N. Join me, won't you?
