Ray Price - An Exclusive Interview.

Oh, dudes, I love Ray Price. Seriously. I was all ready to drive to Nashville and see the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit about him a couple years back, but then my Wife had to go and get pregnant and really curtail my road trip ability. I'm not sure how or why she chose that time (I'm still not too sure how these things work) but she did.

Anyway, back to Ray Price. This is a bonus 7" that came with one of his 1970s records. I think it may have been For The Good Times, but I'm not 100% sure about this. Maybe I'm just assuming it was that one because that record is so amazingly good.

This record, however, is not. It's worth listening to once, maybe, but not too many more times. Ray talks to Frank Jones about his songs, but not too much. It's mostly Mr. Jones telling Ray how wonderful he is and Ray agreeing. He talks about his switch in sound from straight up hillbilly music to string sections and his later smoother vocal style, but nothing is as in-depth as you'd like it to be.

I'm really not sure why this was made, actually. Maybe to sell Ray's other records, but I'm not sure anyone would rush out to buy them after hearing this. Sure, the song excerpts are great, because they're Ray Price songs, but I would think that listening to the record this thing came with would be incentive enough to go buy more Ray Price music.

Whatever. I have it and now you can listen to it all you want. Maybe it will make you want to buy more Ray Price records. You should.

I have included front and back cover scans as well as side 1 and side 2 label scans. Aren't you lucky?

Here is the link.

December's Children - "Backwards and Forwards"

Okay, here is a song that 100% awesome no matter how many times you listen to it, even if all those times are straight in a row. I should know. I have listened to this one quite a bit. But not the other side. The other side of this record's called "Kissin' Time" and if I get enough people asking I MIGHT put it up, but I'd have to listen to it again to upload it, and man that is asking a LOT.

I think this group is from Florida, but I'm not 100% on that. As always, I know almost nothing about this. Except that it completely rocks and has fake cow mooing at the end. For real!

I have included a ridiculously hi-resolution scan of this record in its ripped up World Pacific Sleeve. Hooray!

Dale Chantel & The Dominoes - "Buzz Buzz Buzz" / "Now You're Gone"

Okay, so I guess I'm opening this thing back up with this, the first post since January of this year, and I decided that I'd maybe use the internet to share music with people. I am pretty sure that I am the first guy in history to have this idea, so if you see anyone else doing it, they're ripping me off.

All the kids are into free music, right? Well, dammit, I'm gonna give it to them, whether they like it or not! I'm not going to put anything up here that I can find anywhere else, though. That's too much. You are on the internet, so I am sure that means you know how to find music.

Today's record is both sides of Princess Records PR-609 45 featuring 2 songs by Dale Chantel and The Dominoes, about whom I know nothing. The A-Side of this is really great, though. Buzz Buzz Buzz is 2 minutes of awesome that even includes some flutin' in the background. "Now You're Gone" is sort of boring, but if you need something to listen to during a 2 minute nap, then here you go.

Anyway... please listen to this and leave a comment letting me know what you think. Now that I have a MUCH easier way (thanks, Jeremy) to put my stupid records on the internet, you can probably look forward to more bullshit like this. Also, probably more scans of old shopping bags, bumper stickers and postcards. This will probably be the most popular "web-site" on the internet soon! Hooray for me!

Go on and click here to download the songs. I scanned the labels on both sides of the record, too, so if you're one of those kind of nerds, I've got you covered.

Look at the size of those spikes!

Merchandise order form included in Mötley Crüe's Shout at the Devil album, 1983. Are we expected to believe that places like this actually exist? What are the practical applications of spikes that large? Also, look at those heels!

Stenso lettering card package.

It's a little ripped up, but look how excited that boy is about lettering! I'll put a scan of the Stenso lettering card itself up here soon. You know you can't wait!

I'm pretty sure I bought this postcard at the Gay Dolphin.
