THINGS YOU WILL FIND IN THIS WEEK'S SHOW:

* Great British rock music from 1962-1966
* A band that had no hits in England or America but nonetheless appeared on a popular American TV show in 1964.
* A rare recording of a well known song performed by a well known band who never issued the song on record.
* A trivia question

THINGS YOU MOST DEFINITELY WILL *NOT* FIND IN THIS WEEK'S SHOW (as opposed to a certain British Invasion themed episode of a popular TV show from Hollywood which aired the other night)

* Much attention paid towards a girl crying
* The implication that Shirley Bassey counts as a British Invasion artist
* The implication that songs from 'Oliver' count as British Invasion hits.
* Zombies songs done beat-box style.
* Guest appearances from Lulu and Peter Noone (actually, this we despair not being able to present.)

PLAYLISTS:
A good number of people have requested that I post the playlists for the episodes of 'Ready Steady A Go Go.' However, I would prefer not to post them here and have them openly visible for all to see, as I'd like for there to be an element of surprise to the shows, like on radio (I personally have always enjoyed listening to the radio and being caught off-guard by having some song I didn't expect begin playing.) But...if you'd like the playlists, you can email me at readysteadyagogo@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send them to you.
