A little Beach Boys sounding surf number from The In Crowd on Hickory Records. The date i found was from 1966 but sounds a bit more like 1964.... Cool guitar break.
I always thought that Woody Herman was sorta lame. I'm not really a big band jazz guy so i didn't think much of this 45 when i found it but this is some seriously Unexpected Funkiness.
In a loser's cathedral, a church for a fool
And you pay for the time that you waste on that stool
But each Sunday morning I hold my high mass
With a couple of ice cubes and God in a glass....
Coral 9-61759 (1956). Written by Guitar Gable and Jerry West. B side of "Desert Sunrise". Big band cover of Guitar Gable's Excello R&B classic. Happy birthday to my wife!
I just picked this up with a bunch of other 45's on the cheap from a crappy flea market. They guy i bought it from was surely dying of cancer as he stunk of rotten eggs and wet cigarette butts. He leaves his records out in the sun to warp and says they are mint. I feel sorry for the guy. He just sits there smoking and no one buys his junk. God, I hope I die before I lose what little touch I have with reality. I wish he had some more good records....
