Once again...hit the floor at Jaarbeurs around 7:12am this
morning then spent the next 8 hours pacing up and down the aisles, crunching
over, squinting to read the writting on
Japanese Stooges singles on display. All
this interrupted by coffees, fags (you’re not supposed to smoke, but...) as
well as frites and Frikandellen and other deep fried animal parts...
It felt like there was less in the way of huge amounts of
cheap 45s being unloaded by German dealers, but there was a good mix mix of
high priced treasures and reasonably priced gems.
Anyhow pick of the bunch for me was finally (after 6 years)
getting a copy of the 32nd Turnoff single
It’s a real corker and I assume that it only came out as a
single in Italy...
Another cracking single is this promo only single by I
Califfi “Col Vento Nei Caprelli”
Those were the only 2 Italian singles I had
been actively looking for, so thanks to K. For holding these for me, for over a
year.
Sometimes a sleeve just speaks to you....and you have to
investigate further. So after googling on my Android, I was able to find a clip
on Youtube which clinched the deal. Blue Creed deliver a slice of wild
primitive ineptitude with the mother of all growling vocals
The next three singles are new discoveries for me, They all
had something special going for them.
And the rest...
And more rest...
Next...Greek debauchery to ensue. Update later.
