Collection 160

Wishlist 15

Started collecting in 2012, my main genres are 60s pop, british invasion, garage, surf, and r&b/doo-wop. I mainly buy cheap 45s in bad condition, as LPs are expensive (and I'm running out of space for them!). I have around 3,500 records, but I haven't counted in a while.

leo.m.k 26th Oct 2023		Live Music NRBQ @ Lafayette's Music Room	Are you entirely certain that these dates are correct? The last two clash with their stint at Muther's in Nashville, as seen here: https://www.facebook.com/muthersmusicemporium/photos/138145777739710 Regardless, thanks for putting this up, I had never heard of these dates before!
leo.m.k 8th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Please Please Me	Why are there images of rubber soul here? Mod Edit: Images moved to correct entry.
leo.m.k 9th Dec 2021		Live Music NRBQ @ Tally Ho Theatre	All of these NRBQ dates listed as being from 2022 are actually 2021 dates according to the bands official website. In fact, this one and a few others have already happened.
leo.m.k 5th Jan 2021		Live Music Carmen McCrae @ Madison Square Garden	I find it somewhat doubtful that NRBQ played at this event. They aren't listed on any of the posters, there's no photos or videos of them at this event, and it's never been brought up by any members in interviews. Does anyone have a source that can prove me wrong? I'd love to know more.
leo.m.k 28th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Freddie And The Dreamers - King Freddie And His Dreaming Knights	Review "Picture Of You", "Don't Tell Me That", and "Is It Love" are all on a compilation I have. I really like those songs, so I added this album to my discogs want list, thinking that it may be some lost classic. Today I listened to a rip of it on YouTube, and promptly removed it from my wantlist. I think that 2 tons of Perry Como would do my collection better than this crap, and that's only a mild exaggeration. Freddy & Co. had some wonderful material that hadn't yet been released on a U.K. album, but it seems that their sense of good taste had been demolished by their last two albums. The 3 songs that I mentioned above are still great, and I highly recommend them, but I don't think I will ever be purchasing this album. Their versions of "Juanita Banana" and "Sing C'Est La Vie" are simply inexcusable, and the rest of the songs are too dull to talk about. This is what people who hate Freddie and The Dreamers think all of their output sound like. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
