The Vinyl Frontier: McCoys, Monkees & Kendricks

Electronic and Music stores where I can feel at home are getting few and far between these days. Just one more thing "They" meaning most people, are taking away from me.

However, I have found one, The Vinyl Frontier, about ten miles from home at 1326 N. Riverside Drive (which fronts the Fox River, part of the Chain of Lakes).

I try to get there whenever I'm in town.

They open daily at noon, and have a good collection of 45s, LPs, and CDs. In addition, you can usually find another customer to talk records with in the place, along with the owner.

Last month I went there and bought two albums and two CDs.


The CDs:

More of the Monkees: She, Mary Mary, Your Auntie Grizelda and I'm a Believer.

EDDIE KENDRICKS: The Ultimate Collection: Keep on Truckin' and Boogie Down.


The LPs:

KEEP ON ROCKIN' (4 LPs, 40 songs):

Record One, Side A

People Got to Be Free-- Rascals
Along Comes Mary-- Association
Spirit in the Sky-- Norman Greenbaum
Let's Live for Today-- Grass Roots
Love Is All Around-- Troggs
Society's Child-- Janis Ian

Record One, Side B

Love the One You're With-- Stephen Stills
Spooky-- Classics IV
One-- Three Dog Night
Different Drum-- Linda Ronstadt & The Stone Poneys
Fire & Rain-- James Taylor
Happy Together-- Turtles

And there are three more albums worth.

The other album was HANG ON SLOOPY by the McCoys on Bang records.

Lots of good stuff and covers on this one.
