1000 stars/Four Flickers/Rockit
I have a new radio show on Rockitradio. The last show for me was a Christmas program from 2006. There will be another one posted when the current show "runs out". Shows are rotated every 7 to 10 days. It's a lot of fun to produce the Rockit shows, but it's not quite like live radio on KVMR. It is certainly the next best thing!
I finally bought the Four Flickers record on the Lee label. I suppose the label name had something to do with it, but I was hoping for at least a good song. "Is There A Way" is a little too pop sounding for my taste, but the "B" side, "Yo Yo" is a fun record. All is not lost!
Just a couple blogs ago, I mentioned a later black label Class 78, and am certain that they were not produced in huge quantities. I recently found a copy of Little Star on Apt, on a 78. I don't think they are as hard to find as some books reflect in the value, but I have always been fascinated with the 78. I have not personally seen any other Apt 78's, but I imagine they would be quite difficult to find.
I have had some quality feedback on Last Kiss by J Frank Wilson. I bought an obvious reissue on a Le Cam label 45, that paired it with "Kiss And Run". It's a light blue label with a scrolly logo. Oddly, it's labeled as "The Original Last Kiss".
