Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining that I found this music,
but I do think it's a shame that oldies music especially has now
been sent off to Musicland Siberia in Walmart. As a young fan, I
first discovered this music while looking around in a regular
music store. I would have never thought to go into a Wal-mart to
buy music, and I might have missed out on this great stuff. So
many younger people have interest in oldies these days, many times
when I ask them why they only listen to the radio and don't buy
some cds I get the answer that "I don't know where to look."

A while back this group was comparing the Ronettes' "You Baby" to
Linda Scott's version. Although I consider both of these gems, the
Love Notes version, actually entitled "Baby, Baby, You" on Here
Come The Girls Vol. 9 is superior. I'd swear the lead singer took
lessons on how tho sing like Ronnie Spector. Her voices thunders
throught the song, and although the production is not as clean as
the two earlier versions, this one from '66 is very Spectoresque.
If you haven't bought this comp, which features the Jerry Ross
girl groups, it is a must.

Will... Sears carries a very nice, inexpensive ($99.95 US)
turntable to play your vinyl on. And yes, stop at every roadside
sale for those elusive Spector gems, many of which can be bought
for mere pennies when found at these garage sales, tag sales, etc.
You have a good chance of finding pearls this way!

Kids -
I recently picked up "Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers" on CD
and was very pleased. Anyone know if their other 2 (?) LPs are any
good?
