P450 ORACLE 450 Sun30 Sep C4 2350:414-Tel H E R O E S A N D V I L L A I N S"Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time" - no, not an over-friendly quizmaster breaking bad news but Chris Farlowe with his 1966 Number One, later coveredby the Rolling Stones in 1975. Out Of Time is just one of the golden oldies belted out by a mixed bill of '60s and '70s names in this 1985 concert in aid of the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre. Not all the names are famous, though, even if the songs are. 3/10Beat Box Next Feature Sports What's New
P450 ORACLE 450 Sun30 Sep C4 2355:104-Tel H E R O E S A N D V I L L A I N SRemember Vanity Fare? Even if you don'tyou may recognise Early In The Morning (Top 10 in 1969). But there are severaltimes when your memory needs a little prompting as the bands troop on. Even when someone produces the goods with something instantly recognisable, they often throw in a lesser hit, too. Mungo Jerry serves up In The Summertime(a 1970 Number One) but only after Alright, Alright, Alright from 1973 (Top Ten, honest). 4/10Beat Box Next Feature Sports What's New

(1969) while The Equals plead Baby Come Back which reached Number One in 1968. Brian Poole and The Tremeloes may have fallen out - they perform separately - but maybe The Trems are patching thingsup with Even The Bad Times Are Good. Poole's reply is to sing about the Candy Man and then ask Do You Love Me? Well, do you? 5/10Beat Box Next Feature Sports What's New

Hold Tight (1966) leads into their onlychart-topper, The Ljgend Of Xanadu, which (complete with whip) went to No 1in, well, when?

P450 ORACLE 450 Sun30 Sep C4 2352:374-Tel H E R O E S A N D V I L L A I N SThe highlight, though, comes with the appearance of Manfred Mann. Paul Jones takes over vocals as he had done between 1964 and 1966 to stir fondmemories with Pretty Flamingo, before the boys launch into a slightly alteredversion of Mighty Quinn. The '70s get one chance to shine, with Mud - Oh Boy and Tiger Feet making a nicely contrasting pair. All in all, despite the wrinkles and the bum notes a fun time was had by all! 7/10Next Feature Back-Up Sports What's New
