Swan Silvertones - Move Up / Oh Mary Don't You Week

I found this one in a box yesterday while I was looking for some doowop to trade to a person I know. I have not seen him in ages, but he has been bugging me to come and trade some 45s. He told me he picked up a ton of gospel and soul 45s so I started pulling things to trade to him.  It took me ages to dig through my sleeve box to find a VJ sleeve. I used to have a bunch of them but no more. 

By the way, I was so inspired by yesterday's post that I updated the other Savages upload I had with new pictures and reposted the song...enjoy

I Am the Noize In Your Head: The Savages - Little Miss Sad

The Savages Everynight / So Much In Love

I picked this up from the same guy I bought the Joe Walsh single. I loved the Savages 45 on Laurie (and National) and took a chance. Another strong effort

Jr. Walker & The All Stars - Way Back Home

I picked up the cool blue swirl vinyl promo at the Flea Market in March. I have had the beat up stock copy for years. Love Jr. Walker!

Georgie Dorn - Angel In The Sky/Too Late For School

I picked this one up at the flea market in March. I anticipated this to be a country bopper and was pleasantly surprised it was not.  

Joe Walsh- I'll Tell The World About You

I had never heard this song before I purchased it. I have been buying 45s for years from a guy from his internet list. He had this one listed with this promo insert and since it was cheap I took a chance. I have a Dunhill insert for a Dusty Springfield 45 and so I knew what this was. Boy was I happily surprised when I played this. This was Joe's first solo 45 after leaving the James Gang. I think I have a copy of Barnstorm somewhere but I definately need to find it and play it.

Hole - Celebrity Skin/Malibu

I know Courtney Love and Hole are not everyones taste. But this really is a fantastic double sided blazing gem of a 45. The B sided really is a kick A** song. I really thought they would really explode after this album but they fizzled...too much personality clashes. Rumours in the last few years of new material but really their time came and went. 

 

Gary Lewis And The Playboys - Doin The Flake/This Diamond Ring/LIttle Miss Go Go

Gary Lewis and The Playboys are not my first thought for a surf band but they captured that sound perfectly with Doin The Flake. Matter of fact they took on the drag sound with Little Miss Go Go. This was supposedly a mail in order offered by Kellogs Corn Flakes. Of course they wanted to add their smash This Diamond Ring so the kiddies would write in and ask for it
