I just got back from The Vinyl Frontier record store in McHenry, Illinois, with my booty: four albums and one CD. I saw pictures of people lined up before the 8 a.m. opening and crowds. There were about 12 people in there when I arrived around 2 p.m.. It made for lots of fun getting down the narrow aisles.
The CD was UK Jive by the Kinks (1989). $5.99
The albums:
IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER-- Buckinghams No date on it, but judging by the hair and outfits, I'd have to say the mid-60s. Columbia Records $3
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN-- Percy Sledge. Even more appropriate with his death this past week. Album cover featuring a white girl. No date, but I know it is around 1966.Atlantic Records $4
THE NASHVILLE SOUND-- Various artists. Design Records. How can you go wrong with Carl Belew, Patsy Cline, Ferlin Husky, Rocky Bill Ford and Hank Locklin? $3
WILD & CRAZY HITS-- Various Artists. 18 songs. ERA Records. Like a K-Tel album. $3
Mr. Custer-- Larry Verne
Alley-Oop-- Hollywood Argyles
Running Bear-- Johnny Preston
The Birds and the Bees-- Jewel Akens
Yakety Yak-- Coasters
Wooly Bully-- Sam the Sham
And Others.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
