Cool Epic 45 that sounds like it was influenced by the Beatles

Randy Fuller - It's Love, Come What May

Sorry for being away from the blog. Combination of Thanksgiving, not feeling well and working on a final project for class (yeah, not done yet). Here's a quick one- the brother of Bobby Fuller.

Pretty Things- Talkin About The Good Times

I thought I would post a few Pretty Things songs after posting the cover version of the Pretty Things song a few nights ago. Here is the massive double sided rare Laurie 45.

The Pretty Things- Talkin About The Good Times

The Pretty Things - Walking Through My Dreams

SRC - Black Sheep

Pretty good day. Picked up 20 albums at a garage sale on the way home from work. Some cool James Brown, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, several Bob Dylan early Mono's, Wilson Picket, Pink Floyd...you get the drift. Unfortunately the guy said he had some 45's but they were not for sale. Tonight we have a killer 45 from SRC.

SRC- Black Sheep

H.M. Subjects - Don't Put Me Down

Not a bad version of the Pretty Things classic.....

H.M. Subjects - Don't Put Me Down

I've been working on the statistical analysis for my research class/paper as well as the literature matrix all day-Yuck! I need to post this quickly, wash some dishes and turn the tellie to Dexter.

It's been a long week and school is tomorrow. I'm in the mood for some melodic late 60's pop.

The Golden Horizon- Dear Emily

Ian & The Zodiacs - Good Morning Little Schoolgirl & The Crying Game

Here is a jukebox sleeve/EP you don't see everyday. I've included scans of the regular 45s. These guys were hot.

Neil Ford & The Fanatics- Shame On You

My favorite Neil Ford & The Fanatics 45. What a classic

Neil Ford & The Fanatics- Shame On You

Nineteen Eighty Four - Amber Waves

I have several goals for this blog. One is to help keep me grounded. There is so much going on in my life right now and sometimes I feel I am pulled in 10 different directions. Just to spend a few minutes on this blog slows me down and allows me to enjoy the fruits of my collection. That is not to say it is not a struggle at times to (a) spend the time to decide what strikes my fancy to upload off the computer, (b) make sure I have a picture (c) babble an introduction (this entry has been written while on lunch). I would venture to say over 90% of my collection has not been recorded to my computer and I have no pictures yet. I don't have the time to spend doing right now, but plan on making a little dent during Christmas vacation. At that time I also hope to scan the pictures so they will look a little more professional. I refuse to clean up the sound on the 45's...what you hear is what I have. I have some things I would love to upload but the sound is crappy so they are off the list until I can locate a better sounding copy.


Another goal is to try to upload 45's that the mainstream has ignored or little attention has been paid to them. There are some 45's I will upload that are well represented on other well followed blogs, but I may add to my blog simply because I have it and because of their sheer brilliance. I can't help it if I was late to the party! There are songs I will upload that will not strike a fancy with anyone. I can accept that. I am pretty much doing this for me. Those who listen to my daily uploads will have to resign themselves to the fact that I may upload a bunch of duds in their opinion before I upload what they consider a gem. Think of it as a daily surprise party. I have an extremely wide range of musical tastes and I barely dent my musical loves in this blog. I had made a choice early on to try to refrain from uploading my punk/alternative singles, and may start a 2nd blog for those in the future. But then again, Christmas is coming soon; what kind of a Christmas countdown would I have if I did not include the Shonen Knife Christmas 45?

This was another 45 that I picked up the day I went into the condemed building (see NRBQ posting, if I remember correctly). This is the B side.  I emailed Mark Guerrero a few years back on his website. He returned my emails and seems like a nice guy. Brilliant song!

California Suns - Masked Grandma

Traditional sounding formula surf/car song. Of course it was written by Carol Connors and Roger Christian so that probably explains alot

California Suns - Masked Grandma

Bread - Dismal Day

I'm not a fan of Bread but I have to admit that I find this 45 appealing. It was their very first from 1969.

Bread - Dismal Day

Clockwork Oranges- Ready Steady

Saturday garage on Liberty

Clockwork Oranges - Ready Steady

Johnny And The Expressions - Something I Want to Tell You

Nice soul 45 that hit #79 on the charts
