Whats on your turntable tonight?

Travis "The Man Who"  /20th anniversary

Nick Heyward  - North of a Miracle  - original pressing  - I have to admit that I am not nutso about the performance but the recording and production are amazing. SQ EX,  dynamics EX, low-end killer,  it is worth checking out as you can find copies for pennies on eBay. 

Muddy Waters  - Folk Singer  - AP 200g 33rpm,  this record amazes me every time I put it on. Staggeringly great in every aspect

Glad you like the records on my list. You can find out about those records and 15,000 similar ones in Mike Markesich’s book "Teenbeat Mayhem" available from Priceless Info Press (which is Mike himself). It’s the most accurate info available about USA ’60s garage rock. It took Mike 25 years to collect the info, mostly from sources like the Library of Congress, before the internet existed. He also travelled all over the USA visiting the world’s top garage rock record collectors to get info on the rarest and most obscure 45s. The records are also rated for greatness by 12 experienced collectors. The 500 color record labels in the back of the book are mostly scans from my 45 record collection (95%).

Knightbridge is a killer. They were from Odessa, Texas. They recorded that song in Feb. 1968. The Houston record label Sea Ell took their name from CL Milburn, the label owner who also co-wrote "Make Me Some Love".
