I have a whole mess of Peacock 45s on the way in the mail (along with the other 25 45's I bought from Frank) so I can't wait to dig into some new sounds. But first how about this local one. There is a guy just outside Kinston NC that I trade 45's with every few months. We each just fill boxes of 45s and trade...no discussion. This was in a recent trade. I am now on the lookout for Beverly Records.
Record Store Day and I am not in line..nope, no more! It has been years since I went to a RSD store and probably never will again because of a jerk. Last time I went I was 5th in line. The owner was asking each person what they wanted and I was looking forward to the Charles Mingus reissue. He had one. The guy in front of me ends up picking it, turns to me and proceeds to tell me he really didn't want it but knew I did and he would flip it and laughed. He ended up asking the owner for record mailers...so what kind of person does that? It was after that I realized that I only wanted a few things and could probably get them at retail anyway the day afterward...I didn't need to drive anywhere. I didn't need to deal with puckerspots. There are always going to be flippers and guess what...most of them will end up selling it for the price they paid. A few may make the big money but f'em. Plus the prices retail anymore are just ridiculous. I saw the prices for 45's this year and luckily I did not see anything that I was interested in because the cheapest was $15 and it went up to $22...and how about those Rolling Stones mini 45s for $18...REALLY! How many CURE Greatest Hits albums does one person need..I have all their albums so in effect I have their Greatest Hits. RSD has become the Wall Street Corporate Music version of Greed. I whole heartedly support mom and pop stores but unless someone gets a handle on all the greed then we are going to see more go out of business. A well loved Durham store recently announced their closure...more to come people, more to come! Oh wow, I really had not intended on an essay in my disgust..lol. Let's get to what we are here for, shall we.
I have a stock copy somewhere in a box not archived yet. I also have a Graham Gouldman version on RCA..pretty cool pop music to bring me back down to a mellow level
I had to pivot a bit this morning. I had recorded some songs last month and of course when I tried to play them this morning the sound was terrible and fading in and out. I am not sure why as I recorded this the same day
Canadian copy that I picked up in the last few months. I love that late 80's indie sound. What a time for music that went pretty much ignored by the masses...glad I am not the masses!
I recorded a few things yesterday after fighting with my laptop. The struggles never end with technology I guess. This was a recent pick up and it is in less than stellar condition but I can't complain as I have been trying to find a copy for years. I dug through my sleeve boxes to find a Del-Fi sleeve.
