Happy Friday. This slab came from the closed record store haul from earlier this year. That store closed in 1972 and the person had them in storage all these years until I got my hands on them. I also want to say I can't wait for tomorrow. I have lined up going back to dig in the stock of another record store that closed in 2008. They had a ton of gospel 45's and I can't wait to get my mitts on them ..read more

Cooper and I managed to get our walk in before the downpour this morning. The rain is most welcome, especially to my pepper and tomatoe plants. I nearly went indie this morning but I did a complete turnaround and went doowop/R&B. Killer 45 I picked up in Tennessee on vacation earlier this month   ..read more

I present to you on this Wednesday Album cut the wonderful sound of Spiritualized . I love the huge sound and especially the 7 plus minutes of this song. My friend Craig turned me on to Spaceman 3 and then Spiritualized back when I lived in Denver and I am eternally thankful ..read more

I love those old style Imperial sleeves and they look particularly nice with a white label promo. I picked this up this year ..read more

This is an interesting 45. Watcho out is surf sounding while Possibility is Doo Wop.  ..read more

 I have no gospel 45s ready. So I thought, how about his relaxing Coltrane 45 and it is perfect for this Sunday Morning. I love the diversity of Coltrane. He can be relaxing and he can be abrasive. My favorite of his might be Ballads. I remember buying a copy at a yardsale on CD for $1 and enjoying the calmness...later while going through some LP boxes at home, I found I had a copy on vinyl I didn't even know I had. I have a friend who dispises Coltrane and anytime he gets one he gives it to me. I happily accept it ..read more

Sometimes I have a dynamic memory...I can tell you where I bought something and how much I paid for it. Other times (like today), I have no bloody idea where or when I bought this. I  believe it was sometime this year but I have no clue. The only thing I do know is I am glad I bought it. I have a busy day planned but hope to record a few things to the old circuit box  ..read more

The Dells have a few songs that are classics. I see Dells 45s all the time and rarely buy them. I am not sure where I picked this up at but has a summer slide groove to me. This one barely missed the billboard Top 40 ..read more

Deep Album Cut Wednesday. I always liked the Knack. Their 3rd dented the Billboard charts and was pretty much panned. I don't know why...it has everything you expect from the Knack. I think they suffered due to their fantastic debut lp and how huge it was, But those first 3 lp's are powerpop classics in my mind. They had one minor chart hit off this lp and they did make a fantastic video to this standout track. They broke up not long after for awhile but never achieved the success I think they deserved. We lost Doug years ago https://youtu.be/ffRTp1YTa0s?si=xH0vsbISns-fTm2X https://you ..read more

 Picked this one up in Tennessee a few weeks ago. Pre Arthur Lee LOVE and it is in my surf discography but I am not sure if I would classify this as surf and not as notable in my opinion as the stuff he did with LOVE ..read more
