Yeah, I guess I wanted to like that album based on the greatness of "Little Girl", but after revisiting the samples on the Sundazed website over the years I could never bring myself to pull the trigger.

Haven't been too concerned with records as of late with most of my extra (and not extra) $$$ going into obsessively updating my camping/back packing gear. I coulda added a couple of serious G45 wants with the money I plunked into a new tent/backpack/sleeping pad. With my first planned trip of 2013 out of the way I kinda feel like getting back to music...
One of my last finds of 2012 was a copy of Gene McDaniels's "Walk With A Winner" in an Abilene record shop. The only other Gene McDaniels 45 I really wanted was "It's A Lonely Town"..
... which I won in a Gene lot on eBay for $15. First record of 2013. Super clean vinyl.
On the way to pick up my youngest yesterday I stopped off at my favorite haunt. After no new records since my 78 score back in November it was nice to come in and find two boxes of 45s that he had just gotten. There was a bit of everything... country, pop, soul, funk, etc. A couple of favorites...
A handful or two in I found this one...
... which got me to thinking this might be a decent bunch of records.
I pulled some interesting odds and ends but nothing just truly mind blowing.
I have a thing for kiddie rockers. Love the steel guitar on this one.
About half-way through this one popped up...
Neat record that will be filed on the local shelf. I was aware of it and 'wanted it', but had never heard it until yesterday. Not too shabby. (And I also found a light weight sleeping pad for my wife in gently used shape... I can cross a piece of gear off my list)

I do not wish I lived in the US (well, maybe sometimes), but hey, having the opportunity to find something like this on the way to pick up your kid....argh....congratulations.

My friend found a copy of the Apple-Glass Cyndrom at a Connecticut record show in 1985 for $1, not knowing what it sounded like (he bought it "deaf"). He hated it so he sold it to me for $2. I then swapped it for a long forgotten want in the early '90s and didn't get it back again til last fall, for a roughly $250 trade equivalent.

Country rock, a la the Eagles$1 in 1985 and $1 in 2013... some things never change.
Anyone know how their second 45 as The Cyndrom sounds?

With that Apple-Glass Cyndrom 45, I think the b-side is genius, I'm not personally keen on the a-side, but the b-side is a work of genius.

Makes sense... you can hear that rural/folk sound on both sides.

One of the greatest rave-ups ever submitted to vinyl! Congratulations. And the label design is top 5.

Well....OK then! I was supposed to take it a bit slow in January but since my impulse control equals NIL it did not happen. Thank god for that.
Certain records just seems out of reach from the get go. When I started buying the Teenage Shutdown compilations back whenever they were released, some volumes stood out because they were chock full of awesome punkers. Others had different (great) themes going, but the volume I keep returning to still to this day is the No tease album. The DIY aspect within the DIY aspect of the garage/teenbeat genre really floats
my boat. So...one of the 45s I never thought I'd own suddenly rests peacefully together with other Century 45s in the Segment cellar. Haven't had such a big grin since I landed the Answers on Blue Boy.
Next up is a disc I first heard on the shakey Quagmire series. Fab taste in music, shit sound quality galore. At least on the first 5 (?) volumes. So after years of letting it slip by I finally got around to making a "saved search" for it. And voila. A 4 in TBM seems like some voting members had a bad day, diplomatically speaking. An 8 or stronger in my book within it's genre. The ska-beat and cool lyrics, the moodiness and exceptional vocals lifts this way above the rest.
Never heard this until the auction soundclip. Fab 45 from a very young crew of moptops! And a (lack of) label design to die for
This next 45 is a good example of why linking to ongoing eBay auctions is not encouraged. I was not aware of it being listed, I am thankfull someone noticed & said so. But I would have been pissed if it had been a wrongly listed nugget few would have been hip to and I WAS aware of and intended to snipe. I like this 45. Cool vocals, definitely not a disc for 60s garage heads. Got a nice rave-up with screams not included on the auction soundclip
Next few scans are all about tickling the eye and not about aural anything. My dear father, now lost to Alzheimer, once was a man of the world. First as a sailor (late 40s to early 50s), later a salesman travelling back and forth in Europe. Here are a few scans fer yer enjoyment from his travels.
My father in New York, 1950. Far left.

For an early adopter, your dad was a smart Photoshop-wizard. Never mind he missed that the pic was mirror-inverted when he added the "lost weekend" lettering. Maybe he did it after the fourth pint...

Hit an estate sale on Thursday. Third one to look at records and and here's the more G45 appropriate finds. Not too bad for thirds.
Loving the Betty Renne which I found wrapped in tissue inside a Glenn Miller box set.
Susan King was an unknown to me... neato tune.
Flip is decent, too.
The estate sale guy had been telling me for weeks that they had a sale coming up with lots of Spanish records. There weren't a ton, but there were enough and I grabbed some cool 50s and 60s rock de la roll.
The Olivia Molina LOOKS killer but is only so-so and hyped as "garage". While the ethos fits in with the idea of garage it's not all buzz and swagger.
Los Apson is pretty cool.
Was REALLY excited to find the Viva El Rock! lp on Falcon. Cover was blown and the disc was missing... inserted instead was a knockoff Beatles lp by the Moptops or somebody which I traced back to a higher priced box of records for the appropriate cover. Sure enough... inside that sleeve was the Falcon comp.
3 tracks by local boy Bobby Guajardo including "Chicano Rock" and the similar "China Rock"...
... and four tracks by "Balde" Huerta, aka Freddie Fender.
Pretty scarce and REALLY cool.
Thursday eve we were driving the plains from Marfa to Fort Davis and were tuned into Marfa Public Radio and listening to a cool hillbilly/rockabilly show when the dj played Freddie's "Acapulco Rock"... hadn't heard that in years. Pretty neat, especially having found the Falcon comp earlier in the day.

After striking out everywhere else on a run around town yesterday I walked into my favorite spot and was directed towards a few stacks of 45s that had just walked in earlier in the day... everything was coated in dust and looked like it was gonna clean up all sparkly. If only...
It appeared as if most of the stuff originated from a gulf coast (Texas or Louisiana) radio station. There was sould on Back Beat, Sure Shot, and Duke in addition to these two great ones. Sonny Rayes' "Whip It On Me" is great. So is the Peppermint Harris track. Raggedy... the both of 'em.
The sorta sounds better appreciated around here. Really digging the David Clayton Thomas and the Talon Brothers was new on me.
Jerry was a localish boy. Never knew his backing group on many of his California singles was Davie Allan & the Arrows. This copy didn't clean up so nice so I'll definitely need an upgrade. Big, poppy, stomping sound. I like it.
Most excited to have found this... one of the oddest entries on the legendary God Less America comp.
Stinks? Ha! Flip side is a more straight up country sorta thing... decent. But who woulda thunk a song about acid faced hicks might get released on a label as big Michelle?

House call... not much, but a few interesting pieces.
One of my favorite Lubbock 45s... but to be fair I've got a LOT of favorite 45s from the Hub City.
Never heard this and almost didn't grab it. Glad I did... serious shades of Joe Docko.
Late and Great.
Okay soul.
Neat popabilly.

Swedish Xian privately released beat ep from 1967. Dig the über cool sleeve! Been looking for quite a while since I first heard it. One group original w/ vocals in english and a farty fuzz break is really cool 'n' the rest is xian 'standards' done in a 'beat style'. The guys can't really play though... it's pretty shaky and confusing performances, to say the least.

This pretty much sums up the first four months of this year (except for the Chan label run that was late 2012). It's been slow and i've had no money!
These first three are from the Chan label out of Oklahoma if I'm not mistaken, this is not garage but been wanting them for a while and finally had the chance to get them.
The Squires - Movin' Out
Jackie Cannon - Proof Of Your Love (upper right)
Don Downing with Rodney And The Blazers - Jivin' Jean
Mad Hatters - I'll Come Running
I never appreciated this record much until i got it, don't know what I was missing. Now it gets more than a few spins every week!
Another big want, saw it on WMFU fair years ago on Norton's boxes. Finally bought it from Billy Miller in the mini WFMU fair in brooklyn. Gino Washington's guitarist Jeff Williams.

I bid on this and I never heard it before, thought I wasn't gonna get it and ended up winning it. I I really didn't dig it at first listen, but i think it'll end up growing on me.
This record has been the cheapest record I've ever won on the 'bay at $2.25 bucks, it was comped on Garage Punk Unkowns vol.6 and is likely the cheapest I'll ever pay for any comped record on the 'bay. So I'm proud haha, even though is not a really rare one of course....
