Greetings fellow humans. It's me, Your Old Pal Will here to bring you another fine episode of Vinyl-O-Matic here on the fun 88.1 KWTF Bodega Bay, kwtf.net on the world wide web.
This time around we continue our journey through singles with a-sides that begin with the letter L. Are you feeling comfortable? Well then, let us let it all hang out.

Heck. Yeah. That was definitely an all killer no filler 45rpm record from 1979. That was The Beat (as in Paul Collins, not as in English) with the a-side of "Let Me Into Your Life" and the even better "Walking Out on Love" for the b-side. We preceded that with Memphis's own original garage band The Hombres bringing us the classic Nugget "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)", and the b-side of "Go Girl, Go". That was on Verve Forecast records from the year 1967. Coming up next we've got one of the Bay Area greats, Jimmy McCracklin with some killer soul.

Welcome back to Vinyl-O-Matic. If you cast your minds back to the beginning of that set, you will recall that we heard from Jimmy Cracklin and "Let the Door Hit You", along with the b-side of "This Thing". Fine fine stuff on the Minit label from the year 1967. We followed that up with David Bowie's smash hit single "Let's Dance" and the Giorgio Moroder co-written tune "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)". Indeed astute ears will know that both tracks feature the illustrious Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar.

Up next, yet another monkey song from my record collection.

Hi. That was indeed The Cars bringing us there fine single from their 1979 album Candy-O, "Let's Go" is the title of the a-side. The b-side was "That's It", sung by Benjamin Orr. Before that we heard Les Cooper & the Soul Rockers with "Let's Do the Boston Monkey". You know I love a good song with monkey in the title and that is certainly one of them. The b-side is entitled "Owee Baby" and that is on Enjoy Records from the year 1965.
Next up, a promo single that is pretty much nice so I'll play it twice, once in Stereo and once in Mono.

Ah yes, as true today as it was in 1969. As I promised a few episodes ago, that was Wilbert Harrison One Man Band and his excellent "Let's Work Together", parts one and two on Sue Records.
We got that set started off with the Raspberries promo single from 1972 for "Let's Pretend". I have the original sleeve for the promo which features a contest in which you can win the Raspberries' Rollswagen. All you have to do is return the entry blank explaining which one of the Raspberries is the "foxiest" and why: Eric Carmen, Wally Bryson, Dave Smalley, or Jim Bonfanti. The lucky winner will be the happy owner of the Raspberries' Rollswagen (a VW bug with a Rolls Royce front end) with these "far-out" features:
*	Special Raspberry-Pearl paint and green vinyl top, personally designed by George Barris for the Raspberries.
*	Foxy fur upholstery! Created by California's leading auto interior designer Harold Mitchell.
*	Formula Super Stock Tires on Ansen Sprint Wheels.
*	Quadrasonic 8-Track Stereo System! Outasight sound with 4 speakers by Car Tapes, Inc of California.
