Traveling is hard. For a week I was on Eastern time staying in Mountain time. I am back on Eastern time but that does not mean my system has caught up. I did something I almost never do and that was sleep in.

The Miracles - (Come Round Here) I'm The One You Need
I spent the last week in Colorado and did some fantastic digging. I found a guy that was selling 400 promo 45's for $100 that belonged to his grandfather that was a DJ. Lots of obscure rockabilly and some northern soul...super excited by what I saw. It took 5 boxes to mail them and they should arrive tomorrow. I also hit record stores and a record show in Colorado Springs, where I picked up some cool punk 45s like a signed Stranglers 45, some XTC and Ramones (yes, future posts). My flight did not get into Raleigh until 12:30am this morning so I didn't get home until 2:45am...Cooper was super happy to see me and did the doggy dance...he loves my wife but I'm the one he needs (yeah, right).

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Lost Weekend
Probably the first Lloyd Cole song I heard. This was one of the 12" singles that turned up missing and I managed to buy another one. Recently scored the 45 and picture sleeve.

The Schramms - Heart Not Within
Dave Schramm was first in Yo La Tengo and is featured on their very first LP. After he left, he formed The Schramms, and I discovered their lp's via the Okra label. This was a one off on Matador. I love thier records although I will admit I heard their most recent one and it really did not grab me which is very unfortunate. I was fortunate to see Dave play with Yo La Tengo in Durham pre Covid.

The Ventures - Gemini/La Bamba
Time for more Ventures. There are so many label variastions so I always pick up copies of Ventures 45's just because there is a possibility I don't have that one.

The Loving Sisters Honest Prayer/Who Can Ask For More
Back to gospel 45s with another Peacock. Found I had some recording issues with a few others and luckily this one recorded just fine. I recently started putting all my gospel 45s in one handy box.
