1966? (this is NOT a world cup related question)

I think The Chiffons' Sweet Talking Guy is the overlooked gem of this year.

Hits:

Walk Away Rene
God Only Knows
Good Vibrations
Lady Godiva
What A Day For A Daydream

Soul/Proto-Funk:

Joe Tex - Papa Was, Too
Lee Dorsey - Get Out of My Life, Woman
Lowell Fulson - Tramp
Dyke and The Blazers - Broadway Combination

Some other goodies:

Willie Bobo - Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries
Nara Leão - Faz Escuro, Mas Eu Canto
Ken Boothe - The Train Is Coming
Heard - Stop It Baby
Music Machine - Talk Talk

Anyone trading these mixes via YSI?
