Patti Smith Group - Dancing Barefoot

No albums ready for my weekly album spotlight so I have to improvise this morning. Classic song from the Patti Smith Group but I will admit that the first time I heard this song was from either the Feelies or the U2 versions. 

Afghan Whigs - My World Is Empty Without You / I Hear A Symphony

Sub Pop Tuesday. Not the one I had planned as I realized that I did not record one of the songs so it is a quick fix as I get ready to go over to the Walk in Clinic for a damn Sinus Infection..Today's post has the Sub Pop on the label even though it is an Elektra release. What makes this promo 12" special is that I was actually at this show! That was the only time I saw the Whigs...It was at the Mercury Cafe off Colfax in Denver. After the show me and my friends went to this IHOP or something like it for very bad coffee. After that we were walking back to our cars and I noticed this shady character following us in the shadows. I turned and made him aware I knew he was there and he took off running. I have no doubt we were about to become crime victims. 

The Surfaris - Murphy The Surfie / Go Go Go For Louie's Place

I picked up the stock copy of this recently to go along with the promo I already had. I glanced back at the previous Surfaris 45's I have uploaded and I can probably update those posts with better pictures if I find the time

 

Blind Faith - Presence Of The Lord

Side 2 of this reissue 45...well, not sure if reissue is entirely accurate if the US original was a promo or test pressing only 45 in 1969. In my limited searching I have found no pictures or evidence the 45 was officially released to the US buying public on 45 in 1969. It was later issued in 1977. This was the highlight of the Blind Faith LP.

The Castaways - Goodbye Babe / A Man's Gotta Be A Man

I took some work flex time yesterday afternoon and went to a little antique mall I had never been to and ended up with some very cool 45s and cd's. Last evening my wife took me out to a new Pho restaurant and we had a wonderful time- good food, great company..too much food I brought it home for lunch today. Yesterday was a very good day! I almost went sunshine pop for today but I will save that for another day

Clydie King - Never Like This Before /The Long And Winding Road

A recent pickup. I have never seen a Lizard sleeve before and its pretty cool

The Turtles - You Know What I Mean

This one is a rushed one as I have a workshop I am attending today for Continuing Education hours and have a 2.5 hour drive

I love the Turtles and this one barely missed the top 10. It has that trademark harmonies, is catchy...I would love to see the top 10 chart to see what was ahead of it. You don't see white label promo Turtles 45's very often. More Turtles to come!
