Vauclusian Hot Links

Pm3 – PKP designation of a German express steam locomotive with aerodynamic lagging, produced in 1939–1941 for German railways (German series 0310).

Good, Good Lovin’, The Blossoms (1966)
 The Blossoms were probably the most successful unknown group of the ’60s, and the most well-known lineup was Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King. Their biggest hit was not even credited to them: producer Phil Spector was in a rush to get He’s A Rebel to the market, and since his top group was on tour at the time, he named The Crystals instead.
