http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0a1han246qsclq6

Track 1 - Love And Occasional Rain
Track 2 - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Track 3 - Chameleon
Track 4 - Just Lookin'
Track 5 - Rocky Raccoon
Track 6 - Ticket To Ride
Track 7 - Witchita Lineman
Track 8 - General Mojo's Well Laid Plan
Track 9 - In The Heat Of The Night
Track 10 - Soul Mission
Track 11 - Take Me In Your Arms And Love Me
Track 12 - Air

This is Brian Bennett circa 1969 doing some non library music related work and the results are very nice. The general mood is lounge/easy with a bit of go go groove thrown in for good measure, highlights include the flute and organ infused "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", the fab "Ticket To Ride" and the rollicking "Soul Mission". I would hazard a guess that the excellent organ playing is care of his pal Alan Hawkshaw. There is some very nice drumming and strings included on many of the tracks and the whole collection maintains a high level of quality throughout. A very rewarding listen.

This is a cover album. Looks like a fun time, so you know I'm there. Even though they didn't invite me, YOU KNOW I'M THERE.

Yeah, I should have mentioned they were covers. However I did label it as such.

No need for them to invite you, I left your name with the guy at the door.
