3 Months Without Spending Money on eBay

I managed to go for three months without bidding on anything on eBay. Until this 45 recently came up. "That's How It Goes" is a catchy Tony Hatch song recorded by The Breakaways in 1964. The Breakaways were a UK girl-group trio formed in 1962. In addition to their own recordings, they did session work with many artists, including Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Normie Rowe and Lulu.

I see the UK Pye original fairly often, but this is the first US release (on Cameo) that I'd seen.

Atlanta Record Show

I had a great day at the Atlanta Record Show on Sunday, digging with fellow vinyl lovers Mahogany, Strawberry Julius, Jack Jiggles, and Kurt Wood. There weren't as many 45s as usual, but I got some really great stuff! Many from the James Brown stable of entertainers:
