The Move - Yellow Rainbow

Some pre ELO psych rock from 1969 from The Move. Just found this recently on the cheap. It's a nice little pop psych nugget. Nothing really rare but a good tune. Actually sounds a bit earlier than 1969. If you don't know the history of the move check out the The Move WIKI link. It's quite extensive. Now back to my coffee....

The Holidays - Watch Out Girl

I've been bored and digging through boxes of old 45's at home while recouperating from surgey. The one good thing is that I'm finding some nice 45's i didn't even know i had. This is another one. Great little Detroit soul nugget from 1966. Not rare or anything, just awesome.

As for The Holidays:

The Holidays were a Detroit group who are remembered for a record, "I'll Love You Forever," (1966) that their members didn't even appear on. Edwin Starr sang lead and J.J. Barnes and Steve Mancha supplied backing vocals, and some say that Eddie Anderson made the session too. When the record hit, producer Don Davis revitalized The Holidays with new members to capitalize on the song's success. Starr, Barnes, and Mancha never performed as The Holidays.
The original Four Holidays began as the Fresandos, who cut "Your Last Goodbye" on Star-X Records in 1959. Renaming themselves the Four Holidays, they did "Deep in My Heart" in 1961 on Master Records. Jimmy Holland, Jimmy Ruffin, and possibly the Barksdale brothers (Cleo, Robert, and James Mitchell) were the other members; all may have sang with the group at one time or another, with one bouncing in as another bounced out.
Ruffin recorded a solo shot, "Don't Feel Sorry For Me" b/w "Heart," on Motown's Miracle label in 1961. He was drafted and didn't resume recording until his duty was over. Two singles fell on Markie Records in 1963-1964 -- "Grandma Bird" and "I'll Walk Right out That Door." Nothing was selling, and their next appearance was an uncredited backing of Emmauel Laskey on "Lucky to Be Loved By You" b/w "Our World" (1965). It's believed that Ruffin recorded on the Markie releases; he signed with Motown upon returning from active duty and began recording on their Soul subsidiary in 1964.
A stint with Golden World Records followed, and their first release, "I Love You Forever," soared to number 36 in 1966. After a second single on Golden World, they went with Revilot Records for three flops (1967-1968). The group now consisted of Jimmy Holland, Jack Holland, Jay Reid, and Tony Hestor. Hestor was a songwriter; he wrote the B-side of a Marvelettes' single, "A Little Bit of Sympathy, A Little Bit of Love," on Tamla Records in 1964. He also did a solo, "Just Can't Leave You" b/w "Watch Out," on Karate Records in 1966. The Holidays next appeared on Soulhawk Records with "My Baby Ain't No Plaything" b/w "Maybe So, Maybe No" (1969); Hester and Richard Wylie wrote both sides, it made a little noise locally and Westbound Records picked it up and credited it as the New Holidays in 1970. Jimmy Holland also cut a non-selling solo release on Blue Rock in 1965 and one for Syco Records.

The Holidays - Watch Out Girl

A good weekend, some scores & stress...

Had a great weekend with my kids and a certain lady friend, and i was the undisputed boxing champ on the wii! beating all comers!!! (including a 6 & 8 year old!)

:)

We got a late start on Saturday but managed to get out to a market in Pennsy, out in the sticks, but there were plenty of records and on the cheap too! My kids were in their glory rooting through bins of star wars & spawn action figures and they managed to score a few early x-mas gifts.

I got a nice mix, of soul, 50's rock n roll, rock-a-billy, and some odd ball stuff that hopefully I can get to later and post. so until then a pic of the scores will have to do. I think i got about 100 records total and i would have bought more but I am trying to be thrifty because of the trip to London this weekend. Which is the cause of my stress... but that is another story...

A few new ones...

I spent the weekend removing ALL my records from storage. Now they are all stacked ceiling high in my folks garage and the emore i look at them all the more i realize what a daunting task it's going to be sorting and cataloging and getting this is some sort of order, but it was cool doing a little digging in your own records and finding stuff i had forgotten i had!

Anyway, with X-mas looming and the prospect of Santa bringing the devil here a mp3 turntable, it should be soon that i will be able to download some tunes for the few that actually tune in over here.

In the meantime, here's a hot little cover and another cha cha for for eyes!

The cha cha cover isn't a true winner as the chicky babe is a so-so, but the red & white striped stocking make up for it! and the other one is a WINNER in my book!
Some bare feet, a little belly meat and a little camel toe action! Funny, but that picture was taken over 40 years ago and she has to be in her 20's so chances are that hot number is an old ass granny now or even possible dead....

Cold as a witches tit this morning scores & red hot funk later tonight!!!

Man o' man it was cold this morning. After dropping my kids off this morning i got out to "the spot" albeit a little late. Jack the Ripper, Prime, Prestige & JJB were all already out there along with usual suspects, aka, the meatball, eggbeard & the old man, so i didn't hold much hope of finding anything after the bones were already picked clean by the vultures that were about but i dug deep and found a few things.

The old man was holding a record for me which I was thankful to score. A nice clean 1958 original stereo pressing of the Rock-A-Teens album woo-hoo. It's more rare than the mono and i guess it books pretty high, or at least the old man told me so. So needless to say this wasn't a dollar score buy WAY under what it books since he only "traded" for it. I'm psyched to have it because it's a great early little rock and roll record with some killer instrumental cuts. It has a little writing on the cover but whatever, you don't play the cover!

I also score some cool pic sleeves on the cheap @ 50 cent a pop and some cool 60's RnR/Psych 45's and a few cool LP's.

Anyway, looking forward to tonight's 45 session as i pulled some serious shit to spin and hope some folks will be digging the fuzzier side of some of my choices! I had a little mini heart attack this afternoon when i couldn't find one of my 45 boxes with hsome of my money in it! but alas it was found and I am fucking ready! (pardon my french but i am a little excited!)
