Say Those Magic Words: The Blox Uncompiled 45

The Blox Say Those Magic Words: a relatively unknown band from Houston, Texas, released singles on Solar Records in the 1960s. Their track "Say Those Magic Words" is a fast-paced jangle beat number, surpassing the versions by English R&B group The Birds and The McCoys. "The Way I'm Gonna Be" offers catchy surf pop. Despite being overlooked, their music has appeared on compilations.

A lot of people apparently think that #Walkers has changed its crisp packet colour scheme. (I didn't, but then I've not bought Walkers in decades and not even paid attention to what colour its crisp packets were in the first place.)

It actually hasn't.

Everyone else has changed theirs.

Or almost everyone.
