VA - Dave's Jukebox Presents: Heavy Monster Sounds

Here it is... hope you all enjoy this one. This is the first compilation CD I've put together from my 45s and I'll hopefully have more to come over the next year(s). I've recently come across the ClickRepair software, so these have all been treated accordingly.

Some of the tunes have been put on the blog previously, but they appear here as rerecorded versions that have undergone the ClickRepair therapy!

Two years...

Just realized I've passed two years of running this blog! Thanks goes out to everyone who has passed by, and more thanks to those who have returned.

I'm still looking for that Prince Buster "Freedom Street" so send it over if you've got it! Also send me an email if you want on my record selling mailing list!

Stay tuned... BIG BIG up to come in a few days!

The Uniques - Lesson Of Love (Can't Do Without It) / Winston Williams - DJ Choice

I was surprised to see that I hadn't posted this one yet. One of my all time favorite Slim Smith tunes and with a killer b-side!

*Repost* Tabby & The Diamond - Oh No Baby / Version

***Repost***

Here it is, as promised. Admittedly, its in pretty bad shape, but its a cool piece.

Last time I posted this, it skipped through the intro due to a crack. I managed to adjust the cracked area so that this recording plays right through with no skips, much better than the last upload! The b-side would skip on the first rotation of the b-side, so I had to drop the needle just inside the beginning of the song.

This is the first song recorded for The Mighty Diamonds, under the psuedonym "Tabby & The Diamond". Tabby was the nickname of the lead singer of the trio, Donald Shaw. The recording here is produced by Stranger Cole and released on his personal label, which is a bit of a rarity in itself.

I'll put some super clean records up for the next few to make up for this one.
