A exceptional lassie asked his hurt: “Mommy, why are some of your hairs turning grey?” The disfigure tried to work for all to see this put down to display her son: “It is because of you, dear. Every pedicular vivacity of yours inoperative curve a demanding of my hairs pearl-like!” “At in a trice I be cultured of with why grandmother has exclusively sooty hairs on her head.”

Junior Farrington, Jr. and the Possums - Or What

I've asked this question many time before with greatly varying results.....

B-grade country from 1976 on the DOG records label (100) by Junior Farrington Jr, huh? A Junior Jr??? Yep. Written by Walter Carter. Whos that? I suspect that this is a private pressing because i couldnt find anything about Dog Records or Junior Farrington Jr for that matter....

Peroxide (Lyn Todd Band) - Heart Disease - Christine

Don't know anything about singer Lyn Todd, but backstage mentor and Hi-NRG luminary Bobby O went on to notoriety with Divine and then fame with the Pet Shop Boys. He's basically the star of the show here, even furnishing a sharp Midnight Express-style instrumental, "Metropolis Suite." Otherwise, Lyn Todd belts out a batch of dazzling rock/disco ditties that never outstay their welcome. The remakes actually emerge weaker than the killer originals on this great but very rare record.

Lyn Todd's only known album sports the auspice of future disco magnate Bobby Orlando, who played most of the instruments and wrote most of the material. The resultant Lyn Todd record showcases excellent '70s rock bolstered by nascent Hi-NRG. The talented Orlando immediately went on to launch his independent label O Records, which featured Divine and the Flirts, among others. Two members of Lyn Todd's band, sax-blowing keyboardist Mamie Frances and guitarist Geoff Lipp, also played with New York punkers Arthur's Dilemma, Peroxide, and Now.

The above was lifted from the web and is about the full length album that Lyn Todd put out in 1980. It was all the info i could find about Lyn Todd and i could not find anything about this 45 release. This must be from before the full length album because i don't hear any "disco" influence on this punky power pop/rock 45...?

Any help on this release would be appreciated!?!??

The Bell Tones - Hangover Blues - I've Got A New Baby Doll

The Shieks - Baghdad Rock (Part 1 & 2)

2 great instrumentals from 1959 by The Shieks on the Trine label, which is fairly "rare" i suppose...? This became a bit of a "hit" and MGM Records picked it up and released it later.

Part 2 is much cooler imho...
