It's Allentown time again

[Heitkotter77]

If anyone cares at this point.

For the first time, I'll be heading down this Sunday and spending the week at the hotel. Also for the first time, I'll be set up selling in one of the rooms along with a friend. I'll have some garage, psych and soul, as well as other genres (a lot of punk). My friend will have a lot of soul and other odd things (not sure how much garage/psych).
I also have a box of 78s with a fair amount of doo wop/r&b; plus several garage psych acetates (a couple I brought a couple of shows ago, but also a couple of new ones).
If anyone's heading there (besides the usual suspects), stop by room 207.

I'll be at the Holiday Inn Express at 3620 Hamilton Blvd (Dorney Park / Dorneyville) from Thursday afternoon until the show.

Contact me if you'd like to preview the 45s before the show. Lots of new garage, psych, rock & surf, plus some new soul & r&b.

Which HIE are you staying at...the one downtown or out at Dorney Park? They're actually both on Hamilton Blvd.

Will be coming along with a few photos.
Meanwhile, welcome to G45, and maybe you'd like to introduce yourself.

Show was pretty weak on garage due to some of the major players being sidelined with
health issues. I found a rockabilly 45 I needed at a 'nice price' and a Northern Soul/garage
crossover biscuit at a super low price. I also got a cool 50s R&B 78 off my want list there.
My only garage find was an odd 'no label name' 45 by DAZE END - Little Man/In My Room.
The A-side is moody 12-string garage in a Nightcrawlers bag and the flip is a low-key
blue-eyed soul version of the Beach Boys' track (without horns...thankfully). Could it be an
early version of the Daze Endz on United Audio? It does kinda sound like an Ohio record.

Is 'Little Man' a cover of the Sonny & Cher song?

Nope. Its a moody Chuck Conlon/Nightcrawlers type-song with cryptic lyrics and ringing electric 12-string guitar.
I dig it a lot more than the Cher hit...LOL
