Nice hybrid of R&B vocals, country(ish) backing instrumentation and sound effects. Love the label art too!

A fun, weird one from Groove records. The other side of this is a straight up country ballad!

Ponderosa Stomp 2010 was a blast and now as promised, I have a few items from the record show. First up is a song I've seen on various comps over the years, but have never been able to track down on vinyl. As you can see the label is a little flood damaged. Plays just fine though. I was surprised to see that this record is not as pricey as I had imagined. Also, I've never heard part 2!

p.s. I'm trying out new postings at a higher bit rate. Let me know what you think.

This is one of those records I picked up because the title looked promising. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when I dropped a needle on it. Written by Sheb Wooley.

Here's another break-in from 1973 with a blxploitation theme. At the end the President and Shaft fall in love!

A Bevy of Break-ins

Break-In records go all the way back to 1955 with Buchanan and Goodman's "Flying Saucer" on the Luniverse label. The basic concept is a contrived interview with snippets of popular songs of the day as responses. They're usually pretty corny but are a pretty good snapshot of the time, as a lot of these were made over the years with different "topical" themes. The next few posts will be some of the more interesting ones that I have found recently. This one is on Leiber & Stoller's Red Bird label and references the Batman TV Series...

I don't normally think of Polka music and Marijuana as two things that go together, but it seems to work just fine here...

This is my second favorite Halloween record of all time (Frankenstein Walk by Gene "Bowlegs" Miller being the first) and embarrassingly has already appeared on this blog numerous times. But! It's just too good not to share again. Dig it and Happy Halloween!

p.s. To hear the Frankenstein Walk just click the Halloween tag below and scroll down a bit...
