  1. I've managed to successfully stay away from e-bay for the past month or so, but did find

    Sons of Robin Stone - Got to Get You Back (Atco) at a yard sale this weekend.

    I was gonna sell it, but after a few spins I knew it was a keeper. Even my wife said I couldn't sell it.

    Also bought a super clean copy of Edwin Starr's "25 Miles" LP.

  2. Some spare 45s lying about. Please PM to reserve.

    Postage is from USA, $6.00 for one 45, $1.00 each additional.

    Mongo Santamaria - Heighty-Hi / Sunshine of Your Love (Atlantic demo) $15

    Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl. Great latin 45.

    Gene Ammons - Jungle Strut / Madame Queen (Prestige) $35

    Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl.

    Quality jazz funk, perhaps my favorite on the label.

    Rusty Bryant - Soul Liberation Part 1 / Part 2 (Prestige) $30

    Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl.

    The Formations - At the Top of the Stairs / Magic Melody (MGM) $15

    This is the blue/gold label press. Very small edge chip, drillhole through label.

    Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl.

    Gene Chandler - There Was a Time / Those Were the Good Old Days (Brunswick) $25

    Sticker on "There Was a Time" label. Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl.

    The Royalettes - It's A Big Mistake / It's Better Not To Know (MGM stock) $10

    Drillhole through label. Unplayed old store stock, not a mark on the vinyl.

    Du-ettes - Please Forgive Me / Lonely Days (One-derful!) $30

    "Please Forgive Me" has one mark on the vinyl, and plays EX.

    "Lonely Days" plays VG with some noise throughout.

    Fabulous Emotions - Number One Fool / Funky Chicken (Nico) $20

    Marks on the vinyl and a dirty label. Both sides start out VG- for the first 10 rotations, and then improve to strong VG.

    Nina Simone "Save Me / To Be Young, Gifted and Black"(RCA) $12

    "Save Me" plays EX, with some light crackle at the start. The flip side starts off with some decent crackle, but improves to VG+ after the first 30 seconds.

    Joe Quarterman & Free Soul "The Way They Do My Life / Find Yourself" (GSF) $12

    "The Way They Do My Life" plays with some crackle at the start, but plays VG+ throughout.

    The flip side has a bit more noise at the start, and improves to VG+ from about a minute into the tune. Overall, a strong VG for "Find Yourself". There is an edge warp that does not affect play.

    Barbara Acklin - I Can't Do My Thing / Make The Man Love You" (Bruncwick) $15

    Mark on the vinyl of "Can't Do My Thing". Plays EX. Quality sister funk cheapie.

  3. this weekend, at a flea market, I bought a copy of Barbara Brown's "Forget Him" on Carnival.

    It was one of the 45s I pulled out of a $2 each, 3 for $5 pile. On the Barbara Brown run out groove was a pink post-it note that read: "Worth a lot" (the same note was on one of the jazz 45s I bought). In the end I bought four 45s, and my grand total was $5.

    Funny little marketing technique I thought to myself as I walked away.....

  4. After many arguments over baby names with my wife, I sat down one night with the record collection looking for something not in those ridiculous books. Got to the B's, saw a Big Ella 45, and the next day presented it with a few others.......Ella was born in November.
