The Gee Cees 45 is more my speed but I also dig the ballads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8W4fRqWy40

I've got both rekkids and forgot how similar they are so I got my "bips" and my "booms" mixed up. Sorry 'bout that!

I just got a copy of this record and it has a different label than I've seen before. Has anyone else got this variation that features our hero, Shaun Harris, pictured on top? It's too tiny to see in the scan but his name is underneath his picture. It has the same matrix info as the other version.

Here's the whole song by Pretty Boy, a.k.a. Don Covay. To my ears, it has a proto-Sonics sort of vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kJGcRim81E

I was wondering if anyone knows if he's singing on the Magic Swirling Ship's He's Comin' Pt.II. Whattya think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47RR0qAE1TU

Here's a missing 45 from the Warren Kendrick collection. I think Barbara is the Barbie that sings "Courage To Cry" on the other side of the "Dirty Ol' Man" 45 by the Electras. I've also included some sheet music from a song that he wrote in 1965. I don't know if he ever got anyone to record...

Alphabetically-challenged twin-spin!

Here's an article about The High Spirits that did "I Believe" on Soma. One of the members of the band has changed. http://www.startribune.com/rock-n-roll-high-school-high-spirits-shake-up-st-louis-park-s-50-year-reunion/324424251/

The description of the "TOP COPY" says that it's 37 years old which means it's a 1978 pressing. I guess the bidders got hypnotized by the swirling vortex of font sizes, colors, and superlatives that the seller uses.

Sometimes this gets overlooked because it's by Sandy Nelson: I also haven't seen anyone mention Mystic Journey by Tomorrow's Headlines.

He also has the song-writing credit on the Cherry Slush's "I Cannot Stop You" on USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECHDAgsw5qQ

Like Robert Duvall said in Apocalypse Now, "Marley don't surf!"

I agree. With over 3 1/2 minutes of fu-manchued rock-posturing fury, this is my vote for Vanilla Fudge's guilty pleasure/under-rated song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXvIOKBp1vQ Okay... I admit it. I'm not feeling that guilty.

Track 9 is Mashi by The Wailers.

Hmmm... Burchette Brothers? I'd try meditating them to a higher plane where there is no mildew. ;) Seriously, I sometimes have success (if they aren't powdery with mold) propping them up near my dehumidifier for a few days. I'd avoid direct contact as the dehumidifier can get sort of warm. Good...
