Before many British musicians became household names, they were in other bands during the British Music Invasion years of 1963 to 1966. Here are 20 songs by British musicians such as David Bowie, Ian Gillan, Dave Mason, Lemmy from Motorhead, Mike D'Abo, Ian Hunter, Alan White, and many others. Host Steve Ludwig tells us what groups they were in before they became famous, and then he'll play a relatively unknown song from that early band. Twenty songs in sixty minutes! You'll be surprised at some of what you hear!

"Apple Scruffs" is George Harrison's love-letter-in-a-song to those fans who would wait outside the Apple Corps Building (as well as other locations), hoping to catch a glimpse of one or all of The Beatles coming and going. "Apple Scruffs" appeared on George's 1970 ALL THINGS MUST PASS album. Come with us into the recording studio as George goes through take after take, working out the kinks of what was to become "Apple Scruffs." The real treasure is listening to what George says between the takes. An extremely intimate session with the magnificent George. Enjoy!
