I always buy 45s that look like this. Why? Because you may hit a home run like this one..Killer!
My feeble attempt at documenting my record collection and music obsession.

The Time Machine - Another Scene (In Black & White)
The A side did absolutely nothing for me...boring cover version medley...I was expecting a hideous B side and then it smacked me silly in a happy way.

The Saints - This Perfect Day/Lies
Cooper and I went for our first walk in over 6 months. I had hurt my leg and hip last year and have been slow to heal. He was a happy camper on the walk. The weather was perfect

Soul Exciters Shoot The Monkey
Ok, I'm late. Went to Raleigh and ended up seeing the record guy as he was setting up at the flea market and bought 250 amazingly clean 45s. More to come on that

The Jesus And Mary Chain- Come On/ I'm In With The Out Crowd
Happy 4th Birthday to Super Cooper the Wonder dog
This 45 was a recent pickup. I never really appreciated Jesus and Mary Chain at the time. My friend Rodney loved them and I just didn't spend time trying to like them. I am realizing now in my older age that was a big mistake. I have picked up some reissues of their LP's over the past year including the Third Man Vault reissue of Psychcandy, and of course still have the Sub Pop LP.

The Grapes Of Wrath - Backward Town
Back to my college days. I remember hearing this on College radio and just falling in love with it. Canadian band that deserved much better love here in the states! There does not appear to be a stock US copy of this- only promo 12" and 7". I picked up the promo 12" around the time I heard it on radio

Led Zeppelin - Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You / Dazed & Confused
I am still struggling from my recent travels and woke up late so I did not get to do my daily post until my lunch time. So I thought I would do a massive rarity. Years ago I saw a craiglist ad that a guy was selling his 45s (about 150 or so) and he had a picture. In the corner of the picture was this sleeve. I responded and ended up driving about 100 miles to him. As I looked in the box of 45s everything was just regular stuff nothing special and at the very end of the box here it was. I had been worried it was gone so I eagerly paid him $. The 45 looks VG+ and I remember it playing not very well. I cleaned it with the ultrasonic Humminguru and it played much better than I remembered. I have had other Atlantic promos from this time that that look perfect but play absolutely horribly (A YES 45 Every Little Thing comes to mind)

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.
