Classic Rerun: Florida Rocks Again! #23


Classic Rerun: FLORIDA ROCKS AGAIN! #23: Night and Day

In one of the most rockin' episodes of the long-running series starring the all-time greats from the Sunshine State, every song has the word "Night" or "Day" in the title, or both, as in the opening number by the Razor's Edge, out of West Palm Beach. Although the episode starts with a Cole Porter song, it quickly moves into the garage with rare cuts by some of the grooviest groups to ever emerge from the swamps, beaches, and backwaters of F-L-A, as well as two different 45s from the legendary Paris Tower label. Actually, this episode should have had three Paris Tower 45s on it. How could we forget the Missing Links' "Where Were You Last Night"?

Produced by Mal Thursday and Jeff Lemlich in Living Monophonic Sound. Originally posted 12 November 2007.
