Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, live in session, London, 1965 - 1967

Billy J Kramer (and The Dakotas) sessions for Brain Matthew and the BBC tell a classic story of how music evolved throughout its halcyon decade. From the relative innocence of Irresistible You in late 1964 to 1967’s Poor Loser and whimsical fancy of Town Of Tuxley Toymaker, it highlights the rapidly changing face of beat and pop music at the time and also displays the ability of an artist to remain relevant in the bid to survive in that ‘industry of human happiness’. London Calling proudly presents Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, live in session from London 1965-1967. Professionally re-mastered original broadcast recordings with background liners and period photos.
