    But I Love Her So scored the highest tally out of all the songs from this past session. The group is proving difficult to track, hopefully not another Gnomes example!

    Yes, that has been corrected already, thanks. A couple collectors contacted me thru the TBM website and were nice enough to send me missing / unrated tracks. I auditioned each one and roughly half are TBM worthy, so we will have another rating session ready to start in a day or so. I never knew...

    One woman's search for a Keggs 45

    I remember one was offered online that had a chunk of wax missing or some serious defect. Another one sold on the Facebook record groups (not sure which one) quite a while ago where somebody took something sharp and scratched it across "To Find Out" several times so that playback caused repeated...

    Little Phil & Night Shadows Dot 45 defective?

    Hey Kip! Good to see you here. I pulled out my copy. I won it from a Vic Figlar collection sell off in the early 1990s. I do not hear any audio defect. My copy is practically mint and yes vinyl. I have had some lesser grade spares over the years but they also played well. Fidelity is not quite...

    Story of the Shags CD

    I did not say I wouldn't support this release. You cannot solely rely on memories from those involved. Sometimes they need to be reminded of facts by empirical evidence. I have Carl on tape (interview)from 1984 where he mentions a song that he wrote called Come Back To Me. Carl said they...

    Whenever I find the 45 on Fleetwood, I immediately sell it for big bucks. Long live Capitalism and people who love to listen to crap!!!

    Story of the Shags CD

    They did not do much research, as "Come Back To Me" was written by, and submitted to copyright by Carl Augusto (Donnell)

    Information Wanted: ADAM AND THE EVILS

    Seems like Groop was first, then changed post recordings. I've found no evidence in print media that can be sourced of an Adam & Co. combo. As I told Bob, the two songs had to be recorded in 1967 based on Adam's military activity. It is cool to know he was the lead guitarist for the Blue and...
