the "do you play your records at home" thread has prompted mew to try and play my records more often. tonight i pulled down a box from the back and immediately revisited this great track:

I do play my records at home, although not as often as I would like to. Generally I only have time when my wife and daughter have gone to bed, and some nights I just don't have the energy.......

sorry, one more from me.....absolutely love this tune...

That Bettye Swann 45 is soooo gooood.

Been revisiting some tunes, and forgot how much I'd liked this one:

I have a KIng sleeve with a price sticker dated with my birthdate, June 1970, and it has a price of 79 cents.

bought a bunch of mostly soul 45s yesterday, which included an upgrade of this great track by the Ambassadors:

pulled out a few 45s last night, including this one by the Chevrons

I finally found my copy of Arthur Alexander's "I Need You Baby" after looking for two weeks, so I thought I would post it here. New Year's Resolution for 2017: organize the 45s.......

On the afternoon of December 31st, I had some time to spin some 45s that I hadn't given enough deck time to in 2016, including

i've been trying to find my copy of Arthur Alexander 'I Need You Baby', and I stumbled across Brothers of Soul "Try It Babe" which is so good.....

recently found this one on verve, which i've been enjoying.

I'm quite fond of this line, too. I've always liked this from Curtis in 'Freddie's Dead': We're all built up with progress But sometimes I must confess We can deal with rockets and dreams But reality, what does it mean?

I used to adhere to this method as well, and then became lazy, not filing new purchases away...... At this point, they're a mess.

i've been playing this one pretty regularly lately - Inez and Charlie Foxx - Tightrope
