Super Bowl LVIII Hot Links

Job Opening (For an Experienced Heart Mender) Pts. 1 & 2, Del-Larks (1967) This 45 rpm record is one of the most sought after Northern Soul records in the U.K. The Del-Larks almost made The Ed Sullivan Show, but  according to group leader Sammy Campbell, “We were ghetto guys. We were talking that street language among ourselves and using a lot of profanity. The [Sullivan] director walked in the room and heard that profanity. He said ‘Ms Gregory, take them back and teach them some manners.’ I knew when they did that, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

M.A.R.S.* PATROL TOTAL WAR

November 1969 issue No. 8 of M.A.R.S. PATROL Total War:
“When the M.A.R.S. Patrol destroys an invader weather-control ship, they capture a badly wounded courier whose name translates as Victor. Victor explains that his is an army of aliens, intent on capturing Earth for its resources. Through their interrogation, M.A.R.S. concludes that the next major attack will be on Miami. Gold Key Comics Club News. In ‘Part II: Seek and Destroy’, M.A.R.S. helps fend off the attack on Miami even as ‘Victor’ escapes, determined to redeem himself. A booby trap from his own side kills him just as M.A.R.S. discovers the secret underwater base, which they then destroy.” [source]
