Indie week ends with a Paul Westerberg solo double sided banger. I loved the Replacements and first learned of when I heard Pleased To Meet Me. I've written how I would listen to the local college radio station in Ft. Collins and they had one night where they would play a complete new LP and one night they played Pleased to Meet Me. Needless to say I bought it shortly and then would buy anything and everything Replacements.
Indie week continues with a song that was released when I was living in Denver, but it was not until a few months ago that I actually scored a copy. Tanya Donelly was in the Throwing Muses and has been apart of The Breeders and of course lead Belly. Those Sire Belly albums are wonderful as is this double sided slice of brilliance.
Another one I had never heard. I think my son liked Less Than Jake but I never listened to them. I probably have heard them on Sirius before on Factionpunk but I'm not really sure. So my ears were very happy when the sounds started coming out of the speakers on this one.
I did not like this song when it was first released. But slowly over the years it grew on me. I didn't realize how prolific this band is and that they are still together.
Indie week continues with a song I heard for the first time when I worked nights at a group home in 1990 or so. A friend of mine was the awake staff and he would tape songs off the radio and then share them. I was happy to receive that over the past few months.
Indie week continues with an EP from the Auteurs. I bought the CD of this release either when it was released or shortly afterwards. A few years ago I was in a record store and they had a reissue of on vinyl on discount and idiot me did not buy it. When I went back it was gone. Another 2025 pickup
Theme of the week is indie week and all of them are 45s I picked up over the past year. I have always liked the Waterboys but I never heard this until I picked it up
Happy Valentine's day...I thought I had posted this years ago. I traded for this copy last month and it is un upgrade for me.
It is interesting to me that there are Jay and the American's songs that are considered northern soul. I have had the stock and promo 45 for yeas but finally picked up the picture sleeve in the last few months so I can finally take off my want list
Prepared a little doowopish sounds for you, Rosie is apparently not Rosie from Rosie and The Originals and there are some writings I have seen that says she is Someone may know the truth if she is or is not but I sure think she sounds like her. The Velveteens back them up
I continue my Soul Asylum 12" share with another from my favorite album of theirs. I still have no idea why that album was not a huge hit as it was filled with killer tunes like this. And yes, I bought it super cheap!
A 1977 comeback from the origianl Small Faces minus Ronnie Lane and apprarently their comeback was a complete failure. I quite liked this but also can understand that with the music that was being released in 1977 it just did not fit in.
The first time I heard this song was on Aerosmith's Live Bootleg lp and I loved it. When I heard the original I had to find a copy but hey, OG copies are expensive. So imagine my surprise one Sunday at the Flea Market ten years ago. The guy I always buy from had boxes of 45s as usual and this copy was right on top staring me in the face. Its either an OG or a real early reissue. How the hell did it not get snagged on Friday or Saturday??????
l decided this week to start moving my gospel 45s into one box as right now they are spread out throughout all my 45 boxes. I am also trying to clean up where artists are located as well. This is proving to be a challenge. When I get a record and find the time to list in my database, I would just type the new record purchase and put it in a box that has room. So things are all over the place. But I have been able to put all my Ventures 45s in one box (and it is almost full) so that is a start. The gospel one will be full when I am finished. But at least I am pulling out killer 45s like this.
Here is another Pyramid I traded for a few weeks ago
Fantastic Killer Soul cover version of all things a Gordon Lightfoot song. Wow!
