Night of a Hundred Records - December 1, 2011

Boy did we have a blast last night at the Manhattan!  Jack Jiggles, myself, Strawberry Julius, Mahogany, and Strayhorn tore it up with some smokin' good music that produced an awesome dance party.  At the Manhattan!

Twenty records by each of five DJs.  Playlist to follow.

Crash Landers - Playing 45s at The Manhattan on Wednesday, 10/12/2011

Manhattan, August 3

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.

My New Favorite Syl Johnson Song

Syl Johnson - Feelin' Frisky from the album "Back for a Taste of Your Love" (1973)

James Brown Family Discography

Here's a link to a great resource.  It doesn't appear to have been updated recently, but it's a good collection of discography information.
