1964: Guitar for birthday, Beatles for Sale for Christmas, first song I ever learnt, finally recorded it this week.

Every Little Thing

Originally by Maurice and the Radiants, then arranged by the Action in 66,  We played it like this too then finally recorded this great dance song myself.

Baby you've got it

Blues Rock 
Composed by Christine Perfect/McVie
As performed in 1969


The Train

Great Neil Young song , new version by Delayed Action

Cinnamon Girl

Delayed Action's  version of a great track by Jets Overhead

Heading for Nowhere

I wrote this in 1969, got to record it a few years back

Everything's Right In My Dream

One of the best Buffalo Springfield tracks, it presses all the right buttons for me.  It took me 200 hours to finish it.

Rock & Roll Woman

First Motown song we tried back in '66, just for the record.

Uptight

Old John Mayall Bluesbreaker song given  the Delayed Action treatment

It's Over

Original was too muddy and bass heavy, added a few nice touches to finish it off.


Where are we now: final mix

These are the tracks from my CD "Music for Floored Soles".  I played all the instruments and used a drum machine on all the tracks, except Rock and Roll woman where the drums were played by Lee Plastow.  Inspired by the Beatles, formed a band in 65.  Went semi-pro in 67, played 5 nights a week for 2 years.  Started on Motown covers, then went psychedelic and heavy blues rock.   High point: supported Bonzo Dog Do Da Band and various society bashes.  Band split in 1970 due to other band members going to college and death of bass guitarists mother.  It was always unfinished business for me, but now addressing it, once the music gets in your system it never leaves.
