It's actually the Banned Vinyl Collection. They are very rude songs. Definitely not for anyone easily offended or kids. So I won't be posting any songs.
But looking at some of the comments under the videos is making me question if they are genuine 1960's songs or are they fakes.

Marvin Gaye (Edited)
As a lifelong Marvin fan I loved all his stuff but these two rarer ones are under rated imo. What do you think?

Max Crook was a US musician and composer who co-wrote many of Del Shannon's early hits. He recorded under the name Maximillian using an electronic instrument he had invented called the Musitron - which was first featured on the hit single Runaway. Runaway was issued with a B side Jody but a number of pressings ended up with a track called The Snake by Maximillian. These copies are not exactly uncommon but do fetch a much better price on Ebay etc.

As many of you will already know, our dear member Shirley passed away recently.
She was a great friend to me and many others.
Shirley loved Ed Sheeran, so on this day 9th May, As her funeral takes place, here’s Ed’s new song
If you don’t know what the title means
It’s a Persian term of endearment.

I heard this the other day. Who would have thought that John Walker from the Walker Bros could do justice to such a Sinatra classic.

What do you consider to be the best year ever for popular music and why?
My choice would be 1958 because so many great artists came to prominence in that year - Buddy Holly, Paul Anka, Ricky Nelson, Bobby Darin, Connie Francis, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Leee Lewis, Marty Wilde, Cliff Richard, the Everlys. etc. 45rpm singles LPs began to be commonplace. -
Would you agree on who the scientists decided had the best?
I was surprised

The words of this song seem so poignant now, we could do with leaders in the world that are not obsessed with themselves or money
Sorry, enough of the politics, not the right group
