IS IT REALLY OVER...?



No, it's never going to be over.  When I run out  of JIM REEVES links,
I'll simply start again.  I know that's what you'd want, music-lovers.

(BOND) BABE Of The DAY - MARTINE BESWICK...



I'm sure there must have been
odd occasions when I've neglected to
post a Babe of the Day, so to make up
for such oversights, here's magnificent
 MARTINE BESWICK.  Yum.

THE TENNESSEE WALTZ...



Just for a change of pace, let's have a song from
PATSY CLINE.  Got yer dancing shoes on?  Good.  Let's
go - but I'll lead.  (Incidentally, ignore what it says on the
clip - JIM REEVES doesn't feature on this track.)

BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG...



Is your beloved sitting across from you at this very
moment?  Want to tell her how you feel, but can't find
the words?  Lucky you dropped by.  Just play her this
 song and she'll get the message.  It's quaint but cute.

HOW'S THE WORLD TREATING YOU...?



This particular song is a 'live' performance,
sung either on radio or at a  military base in a
show for U.S. servicemen.  It lasts about a
minute longer than the studio recording.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY TRAILER...



Every so often, the BOND producers seem to
get embarrassed by the perceived excesses of some of
the films and try and steer a more realistic keel.  Usually
they fall flat on their @rses, but I think that FOR YOUR
EYES ONLY was one of their more successful attempts
in that direction.  Shame about that awful SHEENA
EASTON title song though.

(BOND) BABE Of The DAY - JILL ST. JOHN...



Must be nice to come home to a warm,
wonderful woman like JILL St. JOHN -
and have somewhere to hang your hat and
coat into the bargain, eh, Crivvies?

JUSTICE LEAGUE Of AMERICA COVER GALLERY...

Just think - if there had been no JUSTICE LEAGUE Of AMERICA, there might never have been The FANTASTIC FOUR.  And if there had been no FF, there may never have been a MARVEL COMICS and all the characters that followed.  You all know the story I'm sure.  MARTIN GOODMAN, upon learning that DC's the JLA was selling well, instructed STAN LEE to come up with something similar - and the cosmic quartet was the result.

However, the JLA came first.  So settle back and enjoy the covers from The BRAVE And The BOLD #s 28-30 and the first six issues of the team's own magazine.  Then, if you like, leave a comment saying which ones are your favourites - or even share your own personal reminiscences of any particular issues.
