Jim Elliott Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What's the worst (inyo) blind buy or recommendation you've ended up with? Mine, buy a country mile is' Ill be your woman till I die' by Vivian Reed. A terrible note for note dirge clone of the horrific Gary Puckett ' hit'. Awfully yours, Jim.

Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 H.B Barnum - Ska Drums - Imperial Records The artist, the title, the label..... seemed to have everything going for it. Brought blind only to wish that I'd become deaf. It really is that bad!! What made matters worse, is that after, I remembered that someone else I knew had brought it blind and was disgusted with themselves too. *Should pay more attention*!!!
