I bought this obscurity by The Buckle this month. The top side is an excelent version of The Left Banke hit. The Buckle do a really great job. It's only ever turned up on HITMS #12 back in the 80s.
The flip, another cover of 'Woman' comes somewhere between The Zombies original take and The Fanatics garage pounder.
 
The Who's My Generation on the flip.

Ramrods Mister Wind on the flip side, Ariel Pink making Bright Lit Blue Skies popular amongst teenage kids once again!

I have a vinyl red label stock copy. Columbia pressings done in Nashville were vinyl instead of the more common styrene.
And Reyes, you have the wrong / incorrect company sleeve for the What Four single. It should be housed in the gray colored sleeve with Columbia in white letters going around each edge. The orange sleeve as shown in your scan was used in the '62-63 era. I've only found it on the labels that were orange colored for US releases, like "Louie Louie" (Paul Revere & Raiders).
 
Mike, as far as I can tell, every orange label Columbia 45 I've had was vinyl. So, are the orange ones all Nashville pressings? Thanks in advance for the clarification. Also, does anybody know if any of the Dion 45's cut with the Wanderers were pressed on vinyl? Or in the case of "tomorrow won't bring the rain", are there stock copies or just promos?
 
Yeah, Greg, I should've mentioned that orange labels were Nashville client pressings. They must've had an over-supply and continued using them. Canadian pressings are also orange labels too, Nashville might have manufactured Columbia pressings for the Canadian market.

Thanks MTM, good to know what sleeve go with what discs, i kind of thought it looked odd, the orange sleeve paired with the orange label.

These are another girl group i got this past month.

I was trying to find a picture of the beattle-ettes and found this one. Are they??

If that What Four 45 is a Canadian pressing, then it has the correct sleeve. I had several late '60s Columbia releases from Canadian bands (It's All Meat, Merriday Park, etc.) and they all had the same orange sleeve.
 
Here's a new addition to my collection. I've just read in FA&F that the flip 'You Make Me Feel So Good' is not by The Time Of Your Life. Are they connected to Opus 1? Barry Wickham's book could suggest this.

Does anyone know the details etc...thanks in advance

John "Chris" Christenson of Opus I told me during an interview 15 years ago, and has since noted elsewhere with other colleagues, that the flipside of the Time Of Your Life 45 was recorded by a group called the Town Criers. Possibly an earlier group with Bob Renfro, I'm not sure...
 
Strangeness... after wrapping up that Circus piece with the Bobby Fuller slant I find this at an estate sale today. Granted... pre-Quirico, but still. GREAT song. Was disappointed to find scratches on the flip on what looked like an otherwise unplayed disc. Even more disappointed to find scratches hidden under an inch of dust on this side as well. Arrrgh.
photo(2).JPGOddly enough, I also found an early Wayne Newton 45... Wayne also figures into the Circus story, sorta.
 
Been more or less out of the "hardcore" 45-collectingloop for about one and a half year. Buy some randomly, but not like before. More busy organizing my collection as I write (heard that before Mr.Segment ;) ) and saving up money for the London Musicmania Olympia in mid-november. Well I´ve started sniffin´ around on eBay lately, but no heavyhitters so far.

Were in London (UK) three weeks ago. Mainly just hang around for 3 days. No girlfriend, no kids, just pubs, cocktailbars and a few 7" bought. Mostly soul, RnB, a few beat, no biggies. Just cheap stuff to enjoy with a sixpack when I came home. :cool:

Aaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!! One of the belts on my VPI ssm snapped seconds ago, and no spare. :confused::mad:
 
Here's one that arrived today, finally after proving elusive for 10 years

That would be a splendid addition to that oft-pestered for/frequently dreamed about bosshoss Skoop up of Indiana garage 45s. You guys are killing me with all the Skoop talk - I live about an hour from beautiful Santa Claus, Indiana, home of Skoop, as well as Holiday World and 3 killer-diller wooden roller coasters for the thrill seekers amongst youse mugs.
 
Some records I got in the last months
