Bob Davis1 13th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumBangles - All Over The Place (1984) | I bought the album mostly because of the "Live" track. And the cover photo with Ms. Steele listening to a 45 playing on a repurposed vacuum cleaner caught my attention.

Bob Davis1 19th Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - I Dig Rock And Roll (1957) | I bought a copy of this back around 1958, and considered the title rather misleading because the tracks are more in the Rhythm & Blues genre. I probably bought it to get a recording of "My Saddest Hour" by the Five Keys.

Bob Davis1 2nd Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumFanny Brice - Fanny Brice Sings The Songs She Made Famous (1968) | Crank up the gramophone, time to transport back to the 1920s. The first song from this collection that I remember is "Second Hand Rose", which I heard back in the 1950s one night when a Sacramento radio station showed up on my radio in the Pasadena area. It was a show sponsored by the original Shakey's Pizza Parlor, and they had a section called "Shakey's Old Curiosity Shop" where they played old 78 RPM records from long ago. Moving into this century, in 2010 I started a column in the e-zine "DaBelly.com" which I dubbed "Bobby Boy's Old Curiosity Shop", where music, travel, technology and anything else I wanted to discuss was fair game.

Bob Davis1 27th Feb 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Coasters - The Coasters (1957) | First LP I ever bought (I was 17 at the time). Note that some of the songs were recorded by The Robins, two of whom became the first iteration of the Coasters. And yes, I still have it.
