Ron Wood - I Can Feel The Fire

 Found a couple of these a few years ago in big lot of 45's I purchased. Mick is prominent vocally and Bowie chimes in. Pre Stones.

The Reactions - Tomorrow's Time Today

 I took the day off from work and I needed the break. There is an exhibit at the History Museum on Beach Music that I have wanted to see. It also gave me the opportunity to hit a few thrift stores and record stores that I have not been to in a few years.  I found  a few things but ended up experiencing one of my HUGE Pet Peaves. Went to one store and there were a few 45s not priced. The clerk started doing the old DISCOGS search for prices, and just for grins let's price at the top of what is selling (not what it has sold for). I have no problem with you wanting to keep the item in the store because not one will pay that price, that but do that SH*T and price it before you put it out. I see that more and more and I am quite likely not to visit those stores again. I shouldn't have to get stressed out on a day off! So let's have us some great pop on the St. Valentine label out of Ohio. I recommend all the Reactions 45's and the Homestead EP which is essential. I have many on this label and highly recommend it

Herman's Hermits - Ooh She's Done It Again

 I admit there has always been a place in my collection for Herman and the Boys. One of the first albums I ever picked up as a wee lad was their On Tour LP and the Best of Vol 2. This was one of their last US 45's and it sank like a brick (A side made it to a whopping 131 on the Billboard Bubbling under chart, while this as the B side, and in my frank opinion 1000% better than the A side. As I was preparing this, it occurred to me that I have long neglected good ole Herm and I guess I will have to fix that

Nick Lowe - So It Goes

 I knocked another one off the old want list. It's not pricey or rare but it's killer pop. I have plenty to go for the old blog but have had alot going on that has kept my priorities elsewhere. Family health issues in March, then had to put our beloved Bentley to sleep 1 week shy of his 14th birthday, then broke my finger. March was 2020 in one month.
