Chuck Carbo Twin Spin

Audio File Deleted

Chuck Carbo was the legendary frontman of the classic New Orleans R&B vocal group the Spiders. Disc one is him on the Dave Bartholomew composition Is It True? Disc two is Chuck about twenty years later, this time with New Orleans funk master Eddie Bo on Can I be Your Squeeze? I got lucky with this one. Eddie Bo is so reknowned for his funky drum breaks that his 45s often go for three figures. This one is no exception. The copy I found however is pretty beat up and has a hairline crack in it, so I was able to pick it up cheap. Still plays fine though...

Jimmy Fontana

I picked this up today in a nice batch of 45s that I will be posting later this week. I was initially interested in this record purely for the sleeve, but once I put it on the player, I knew I had to get it. This is what happens when Italians play Rock & Roll. Remember the obnoxious factor we talked about? Oh, yeah. Put this sucker on a continuous loop and see how long you can take it. Brilliant...

Testing... is this thing on??

Okay, here is my first attempt. I found this 45 by Jerry Starr & the Echoes about six months ago. Teenage Tangle is one wild instro. No one can accuse this song of not having enough cowbell! The obnoxious factor on this one is pretty high. The flip is a fairly standard, but nice swamp pop ballad. enjoy!

Here we go...

I've finally gathered together all of the elements necessary to put together a music sharing blog. Mostly I plan to post odd 45s that I run across, but I may also try to get into some podcasting. Being a generally lazy person, we'll see how it goes...
