Braved the rain for the flea market and ended up with 135 45's. Two other guys were digging and one guy had a pile and then started looking them up before purchasing to see what they were worth to resale. That irriates me to no end....part of the fun is taking a chance. Too many people are looking to flip it quickly and make bucks and careless about the music. I remember one store I used to go the seller sold all 45's regardless of what it was for $1. He never looked anything up but did pull things he knew was worth more. I remember him telling me one time a guy brought in a price guide to look them up before buying. He told the buyer, "look, they are a dollar. If you want to look them up that is fine but then I am selling them to you based on what your book says"...I loved it! Yes, I guess I am getting grumpy in my old age. I passed on a ton of Peacock gospel 45s yesterday as quite frankly I think I already had them and I have enough duplicates already, however, I would have picked this one up if there was copy its that good

My feeble attempt at documenting my record collection and music obsession.

Sin-Say-Shuns - You Said To Me/Bring Back My Good Times
No walk this morning as it is raining and it is supposed to pour all day. And they guy I buy from at the flea market let me know yesterday he will have 5000 new 45s out today in his tent covering. Looks like I am braving the weather. Nice little garage 45 for today I picked up this year and to be honest I really don't remember where I got it

Ricardo Ray - Mony Mony / California Sun
Happy May 1st. To continue celebration of Tommy James birthday this week I thought I would post a latin version of Mony Mony. Pretty cool B side as well. Released on a division of Roulette with both songs being previous Roulette releases...hm, not a bad way to try to get more royalty money for Roulette

Wendy Turner - Dreamer That I Am / Joanie
We had a heavy rain last night but it ended so Cooper and I could get our walk, The storm caused us to lose power and of course that impacted my coffee starting on its own. Nothing a quick push of the button couldn't fix. Thursday girl sounds...A side has a bit of a latin feel to me. This appears to be Wendy's only release.

Tommy James and the Shondells - Somebody Cares/Do Unto Me
Happy Birthday to Tommy James. I have always been a Tommy James fan. I remember when I was in Jr High I would listen to this station that played oldies and I remember calling and requesting a Tommy James song (Sweet Cherry Wine- which has not made an appearance here so I think you know I will rectify that) and they played it. I was so happy...isn't funny what makes us happy when we are 12 or 13..lol.Today I present a double sided gem that is very underated. This was released after the smash Mony Mony and the A side barely dented the US charts at #53 and hit #40 in Canada. The B side didn't hit the charts and its as good or better than the A side!
