Peach And Lee- Hold On/It's Better

 I was planning to walk Cooper this morning but of course its raining. Mailorder pick up this year

Soul Exciters Shoot The Monkey

Ok, I'm late. Went to Raleigh and ended up seeing the record guy as he was setting up at the flea market and bought 250 amazingly clean 45s. More to come on that

 

 

The Jesus And Mary Chain- Come On/ I'm In With The Out Crowd

 Happy 4th Birthday to Super Cooper the Wonder dog

This 45 was a recent pickup. I never really appreciated Jesus and Mary Chain at the time. My friend Rodney loved them and I just didn't spend time trying to like them. I am realizing now in my older age that was a big mistake. I have picked up some reissues of their LP's over the past year including the Third Man Vault reissue of Psychcandy, and of course still have the Sub Pop LP.

The Grapes Of Wrath - Backward Town

Back to my college days. I remember hearing this on College radio and just falling in love with it. Canadian band that deserved much better love here in the states! There does not appear to be a stock US copy of this- only promo 12" and 7".  I picked up the promo 12" around the time I heard it on radio

Led Zeppelin - Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You / Dazed & Confused

I am still struggling from my recent travels and woke up late so I did not get to do my daily post until my lunch time. So I thought I would do a massive rarity. Years ago I saw a craiglist ad that a guy was selling his 45s (about 150 or so) and he had a picture. In the corner of the picture was this sleeve. I responded and ended up driving about 100 miles to him. As I looked in the box of 45s everything was just regular stuff nothing special and at the very end of the box here it was. I had been worried it was gone so I eagerly paid him $. The 45 looks VG+ and I remember it playing not very well. I cleaned it with the ultrasonic Humminguru and it played much better than I remembered. I have had other Atlantic promos from this time that that look perfect but play absolutely horribly (A YES 45 Every Little Thing comes to mind)

The Ventures - The Savage/The Chase

I love the Ventures!

Excello Gospel Singers - Dreamin Of Heaven/Freedom After Awhile

 I woke up early and could not get back to sleep so I thought I would post a promo Peacock.
