As usual, thanks for the comments - they are most appreciated. And thanks to “anonymous” for the suggestion of “Peanut Duck.” What a mysterious background! And happy valentine’s day to all you lovers – the compilation ends with one of my all time favorite love songs. Enjoy!

11. “Peanut Duck” – Marsha Gee – By request – “A dusted off relic recorded sometime in the 60s and discovered by a DJ in the 70s who released the song as a bootleg in the 80s, little else is known about this rare single. The musicians who recorded it and when may forever remain a mystery. The little that is known about Peanut Duck is that it was recorded at Virtue Sound in Philadelphia and that the singer’s name was Marsha Gee. But this singers identity has been disputed as being someone else, maybe a celebrity? Maybe not? Of course, that is unknown too.”

30. “When You Say” – Fleetwood Mac – originally from the 1969 album “Then Play On” – this version is from “Albatross,” a sort of weird album consisting of half Christine McVie (Perfect) & Fleetwood Mac. It was put out in ’77, but I assume this version was also recorded circa 1969 since Peter Green is listed in the credits. The perfect Valentine’s song! Happy VD!
