ONE TAPE - Summertime blues

From Summer Holiday and the homonym film with Cliff Richard in 1963, which had also been filmed in Greece, and the covered by many Summer wine by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood until last year's Kate’s summer by  our guy Lumiere Brother. Such a compilation could not exclude songs that refer to beaches, like the legendary Rockaway beach by the Ramones, The sea by our beloved Morcheeba and the Seabirds by the Triffids.

I probably owe you an apology for the presence of A message to you Rudy as it was on the background of an ice cream ad ans brings summer delights to mind.Despite the summer joy and leisure, the season often leads to tears after Autumn, as Jullee Cruise tells us through the soundtrack of the film by Wim Wenders Until the end of the world.

Ain’t no cure for the Summertime blues as Eddie Cochran said back in 1958.
