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. 

Humpty and The Ivanhoes - Shy Guy

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).

The Dupont Circles- My Picasso Girlfriend/Inch Worm/Sputnik, 53 Bicycles

A really nice 4 song 45. 

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.
