Looking at these titles… a tiny bell rang in the attic of my twisted brain, and yo, bingo. I’ve got a cheapo V. A. 4-track UK-EP from ’65 on the Embassy-label from a series called The Big Four. (These things were pressed to be sold at Woolworth’s, I’ve been told.) 3 of the 6 song are on this as well, and the versions are identical. “Price Of Love” is by Terry Brandon with The Beatmen, “Colours” by Les Carle with The Beatmen and “I’m Alive” by The Typhoons. I wonder why they omitted the best track from this record, a killer version of the Kinks’ “Set Me Free” done by Alvin Lee’s first recording band The Jaybirds.
