Step into Denny’s Den to give yourself a little lift as you make your way through the busy day. Or take a break and make the world go away for a while. Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Rhino really served up a great series with those "Missing Links" comps -- When I first saw them, I expected a lot of demos and "works in process," but there are some great fully realized tracks on there that just didn't make the cut at the time for some reason.
Avatar 3:46pm
Reechie:

@Jon...Nesmith was known for that. Song titles that never appeared in the actual lyrics. This was the guy who titled albums "Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma" and "From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing".
