The Mellotones of Hickory - He'll Be There / God's Going to Move

A few weeks back I was fortunate to watch Bishop William J. Barber II speak on Poverty and Social Injustice. His speech was powerful and I wish the UNC School of Social Work could have been able to share so I could have shared it here. There is alot going on in the world right now and those who are disenfranchised are suffering the most. The question of the day is "What Can I do to make a positive change and help those impacted by injustice?" And believe me, there is alot of injustice going on right now.

This 45 has seen better days...has some scratches and a nasty heat damage and does skip. But it is so wonderful not to share anyway

Free For All - Don't You Worry About Me / I'm So Glad That I Found You

I think I am in a Sunshine Pop mood. I should have put the B side 1st on this one but hey, they both are really good. Interesting that Buzz Clifford is the writer of the B side

The Profiles - The Watusi Wobble / Take A Giant Step (Walk On)

 Happy Friday. This was a nice surprise when I put it on the turntable. I love it when that happens

Queen- I'm In Love With My Car

I woke up early because my neck was killing me. My walk with Cooper seemed to help but I should not have worn my hoodie as it was super warm outside...yes, I know...bitch bitch bitch. So why not talk about something positive! Ok, maybe not a car, but I love my Chevy Colorado Truck and it will be paid off in a few months, how is that for positive. Another positive is my memory of this song. I must have been 12 or so, at the flea market in Colorado Springs with my parents and I bought the Queen LP A Night At The Opera. I was familiar with Bohemian Rhapsody and I remember putting the LP on the turntable and this song just hooked me. That probably remains my favorite Queen LP. 

Jay And The Americans - Why Can't You Bring Me Home / Baby Stop Your Cryin

I should be able to get back to posting some deep album tracks later this month. Last time I posted a Jay and The Americans 45 was in 2016 so they were overdue. This is one that has grown on me.- it barely dented the charts at #63.I wouldn't say that I was the biggest fan as some of their stuff is just mediocre but then again Jay Black had such a powerful voice he could make a mediocre song sound good. Still on the lookout for the Livin Above Your Head picture sleeve. I've had several opportunities over the years to pick up and stupidly did not

 

The Champagnes - Crazy

 A week break from our Sub Pop Tuesdays- I wasn't as preparted as I thought I was. So we get a little early 60's soul. I recorded this one last summer and thought I had uploaded it. 

Dave Dudley - Truck Drivin' Son Of A Gun

I recorded absolutely nothing this weekend so no surf today. I'm not a big country music fan but there are some things that strike my fancy. I found a few old store stock copies of this in the closed 1972 record store inventory. This hit #3 on the country charts and even bubbled under the Billboard top 100 at #125.  When you pay attention this blog your going to get a country 45 now and then...that's how I roll
