Day 8 of Christmas posts. I had a copy of this years ago and it was crazy cracked. This was a recent pick up.
I received an early Christmas present yesterday. I saw a post for 1300 45s for $100. The picture didn't show anything you could make out other than a promo Reprise and promo Fontana label 45. I reached out Thursday to meet the person on Saturday morning. He was an hour away. We met and he had them in storage for over 30 years..he has a jukebox but decided to get rid of ones he does not listen to. He told me if I was not interested that was fine as a few other people had reached out to him. I opened the first box and in that handful were some promo rockabilly 45s and gospel on the peacock label. No need to look further, I happily handed him the $100. Once I went home I pulled out over 200 to clean and listen to...some garage and soul I am not familiar with. There were quite a few broken ones I tossed and some in extremely poor condition. It must have been providence that I pulled the ones I did as if I would have pulled the others I might have turned it down and I would have missed out on a great deal
