More from the Sixties

Although this was actually performed in 1994. Remember The Seekers? “Georgy Girl?” “A World of Our Own?” “I’ll Never Find Another You?” Here they are 30 years later and they still sound damn near as good as they did when they first hit the big time.

In America Oligarchs Pay YOU!
