Salutations™!!
This week, like last, was altered because of a Cobras game, which we lost, but the worst part was the loss of our star OL because of a dislocated ankle. But, I did get by Underdog Records for a brief visit on Friday. Mainly because my pal, Clay, purchased a record and left it behind the counter. I had to see what it was and that was my visit. Here’s my “haul:”
- Debbie Gibson – Out Of The Blue — I’m a sucker for bubblegum pop. She was in school the same time I was (she’s a year ahead of me) and she writes her own songs. It was definitely cheesy stuff, but I enjoyed it. Couldn’t pass up this one. VG+.
- Ray Charles – Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music — #105 on the RS List, I enjoyed it. It’s not really C&W music, but it was “modern sounds” for the time. I had to grab it. VG+.
- TKO – Let It Roll — This is the album that Clay got for me. It was in the $1 bin but was in fantastic condition. I had never heard of the band, but apparently, Clay had done some backups for the singer of TKO, Brad Sensil on a later solo album. This is from 1979 and was good hard rock. Thanks, Clay!
That was the haul. Because of the passing of Danielle’s father last week, there wasn’t a TLD/UR Special of the Week, but if you listen to each new episode of The Less Desirables, you can hear the special for that week. There’s a lot of cool equipment in there and of course, Jonathan puts out newly acquired used vinyl almost every day. Go by and say hey. Tell him that I sent you! Use Discogs to catalog your collection, be it vinyl, CD or even cassettes.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
