Little Archie - I Am A Carpet



a few years ago i was selling 45's for "the old man" on ebay and this was one on the better ones i sold for him. I personally don't sell anything. I am a troo))) collector so when i sold this great 45 i knew someday i had to find my own copy. It took me a while but i tracked one down not too long ago and here it is for anyones cares that wants to hear a really nice and tight and funky soul 45 of the highest caliber. I certainly don't claim to be a soul expert but i know what i like and i like this!

i did a search on the interwebs for little archie but mostly came up with this; so i can't paint an accurate description of mr. little (not that anyone cares) but i have a feeling that despite being "little" and a carpet, he probably got laid a lot more than any of us...

I'm waiting for someone to make the inevitable joke. Great record, btw!

Yeah nice record- This is on a Dial comp that Sundazed worked their remastering magic on a couple years back- I remember in Nashville, there was a man named Aashid Himons who was a part of Afrikan Dreamland- He is Little Archie, he mentioned it in interviews when I lived there in the 80s

Thank you again and again...

I'll be drinking that 2006 Anchor Steam when KT comes in from San Francisco, along with a 2007. I'll definitely let you know how they were showing. For now though, I must have a Duvel for I haven't had one in a very long time. I can only get them when I go up to see the College Square team, and that's a 30 mile hike up the beltway.

Have a good one :)
