Gruppo Sportivo - Bottom Of The Class

Album spotlight.  I picked this one up last year. as a friend gave it to me. I have seen it for years but never really felt like picking it up. Consider me surprised when I really dug it

 

The Damned - Smash It Up

 I recently picked up the red vinyl version of this to go with my black vinyl version. I also was able to pick up a rare post card for the 45...way cool

The Shadows Four - Leavin Home / You'll Be The Blame

 I was distracted this morning with too much on my plate before work. These afterwork uploads just ruin my spirit..but at least it is a killer JCP.

Elvis Presley - The Bosom Of Abraham

Elvis could belt out the gospel songs. Another difficult one to find of his and short and to the point

 

The Beas - International Girl / Nothing Can Go Wrong

I love those girl sound 45s. I picked this up within the last year but honestly I don't remember where. I rarely see this label out and about and if you do it is allways the Murmaids single. Accourding to this International Girl is the B side but I liked it bets. The other side seems to be jumping on the Sonny and Cher sound bandwagon

Noble Watts - Thinamajig / F.L.A.

Nice Jr. Walker style soul on Brunswick

Julie London - In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning/ Time For Lovers

I am in the mood for some sultry silky smooth sounds. So I have this secret not so secret love of Julie London and I always take chances on her records. I can imagine many a 1960's bachelor pad had a stack of Julie lp's to play for mood music. I often play her Golden Greats lp as nice relaxing background music. I read she was a heavey drinker and smoker and that it eventually affected her voice and singing. I seem to remember she had a deep voice on the show Emergency but I was a kid so my memory may be skewed.There is some weird factory pressing bump issue on both sides of this and you can slightly hear it. If not for that...this thing is spotless. And who can resist this picture sleeve. Liberty released many a Extended Play with her picture but very few 45 picture sleeves. I just learned their is a promo for her Christmas 45...guess I need to find that one
