I specialize in lost, atmospheric, and hypnotic 45s. Grading is done conservatively, visually. Check unaltered sound clips. I currently have a number of cool soul, popcorn, Latin, rockabilly, garage, R&B, country, surf, blues, funk, psychedelic, sunshine pop, mod, lounge, exotica, heavy rock, modern soul, gospel, swamp pop, Cajun, Tejano, metal, townie rock, song poem, punk, power pop, and oddball and unclassifiable instrumental 45 obscurities up for grabs. I've also listed some really fantastic and scarce garage band 45s from Texas this week.
ARTIST: Little Bob and the Lollipops
TITLE: Song for My Father / Life Can Be Lonely
LABEL: La Louisianne
CONDITION: VG+ (Gorgeous, lustrous vinyl. Some rather unfortunate marks carved into the labels, though - check pictures.)
All-time fave. Lived-in arrangement and Camille Bob's devastating vocal on spectral soul beat beauty "Live Can Be Lonely," smoky, slinky R&B mod jazz treatment of Horace Silver classic on the flip. Tough one. 1966.
