V.A. - Oddities Vol. 2

Mostly Mod tunes on the second Oddities volume (ODDS-002 / 2002). But there is also an excellent psychedelic number by Rifkin and a fine pop tune by The Candydates. This compilation came with an one-sided bonus single. It's an acetate of an early Stones number called "We Were Falling In Love". You find the first volume on High All The Time.
