On the BBC album, I think A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues could do with being better known. But any Arthur Alexander song is normally a winner.

**If we are talking about songs/albums that don't get a lot of mainstream recognition, I would vote for the entire Live at the BBC album. What turns me on about it is it gives me a glimpse of what they sounded like before they became monstrous (Hamburg, Cavern, etc…).

I can just picture them onstage performing some little ditty like A Shot of ...

Oopsie, didn’t realize that was a long way back … I’m still catching up on all my e-mails from today! I freaking wish quoting worked on my iPad because now I’ve probably confused people.

Good news, though: 9!

I think "Baby, You're a Rich Man" is an awesome song. And it's fun to draw big brown bags full of money at zoos for Pictionary.
