Ebay, Aquatones and demos
I keep watching an Ebay listing that doesn't seem to go away. It started out at closer to 2700.00 for 300 records. the crux of it that they are in nice shape and you could sell half of them and (break even). With a few exceptions, they are fairly low dollar items, very common. This must be the 10th listing for it, now at a steal for a minimu of just under 2000.00 bucks! I'm thinking it's about a 200 dollar lot at best. What do you think?
The Aquatones Christmas CD is officially out...for the 3rd Christmas in a row. This time it has the graphics and nice booklet. The Aquatones Sing It's Christmas, can be ordered on the aquatones site at www.aquatones.us
They have a good group and still enjoy making great music.
I finally got a copy of the Rockin R's "Walking You To School". Released on the Stepheny label, I had expected another blazing instrumental ala the Tempus issues. Not so. This was a vocal!
Have you ever heard Malinda, by Bobby Mandolph on Specialty? It sounds like he is about 6 years old, but it's a really fun kiddie lead song. His age reminds me some of Sugar Chile Robinson, and some of the vocals he did for Capitol.
I came across a few demos on the New York based Soundcraft "label". The plug song was called The Party Hop. Not a really good song, but there are a couple of the others that are not too bad. I will have more information on those recordings and a page on my web site, eventually.
I hope that you and your families have a safe Thanksgiving Holiday. And don't forget, Christmas is right around the corner. Got your shopping done yet?
