Wendae's Records Of Note:
Sunglasses At Night/Never Surrender-Corey Hart (EMI X-7113)
Windy/Never My Love-The Association (Warner GWB-7119)
When I Need You-Leo Sayer (Warner WBS-8332) 1977
Mighty Mighty Children-Baby Huey & The Babysitters (Curtom CR-1939) 1969
One More Cup Of Coffee-Brook Benton (Mercury 72265) 1964
Fireball Mail-Jim & Joe (Fabor 124) 1963
Pink Panther Theme-Henry Mancini (RCA Gold Standard 447-0739) 1963
The Devil Went Down To Georgia-Charlie Daniels Band (Epic 8-50700) #1 1979
Always Something To Remind Me-Naked Eyes (EMI B-8155) 1982
Good Golly Miss Molly-Little Richard (Specialty 624) 1958
To be honest, this may have came from a collection of records that Wendae's late husband Mike had out in the garage. There's the inclusion of Convoy from C W McCall, but like Charlie Daniels and perhaps Naked Eyes, those records might be donated since Always Something To Remind Me is played on KDAT every day. I like the version when Daniels calls out the devil you SOB rather than the tame Son of a gun version. When I Need You has been one of my sentimental favorite belly rubbing songs from long ago and far away and the record seems to be in very good shape. No rumblings or scratched out grooves, just like Three Dog Night's One is, and that version seems to be from a later version which doesn't fade out like the old Dunhill single used to be. The Jim and Joe is James Burton and Joe Osborne kicking out a quick session, with that and b side Daisy Mae, which may have been the A side.
Out of all the records that didn't have sleeves, the Baby Huey, Jim and Joe, Brook Benton and Little Richard ones I could save, tho the Little Richard 45 was deep cleaned, it plays as well as a level 4 record could play. It has been played a lot, B side is Going Back To Birmingham or Hey hey hey hey, one of the more tougher sounding songs from Richard in the 50s. The Brook Benton's Coffee song actually plays better than it looks, tho I didn't attempt to be the other side. Same thing with Baby Huey, side 2 is unplayable due to some deep creator scratches through that record. Windy is the mono version with Terry Kirkman's vocal a bit further up in the mix on the final fade out. Sunglasses At Night is 80s cheese, at least with Never Surrender, it's a bit more tuneful, tho I do find a guilty pleasure with Sunglasses at night. Stoopid but fun.
Shops On The Wapsi Record Finds:
This Flight Tonight-Nazareth (A&M 1548) 1973
Holler And Shout-Elvin Bishop Group (Epic 5-10926) 1972
It Must Be Love-Don Williams (MCA-41089) 1978
You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm And Blues-Neil Sedaka (RCA 47-7530) 1958
What'll I Do-Gisele MacKenzie (Capitol F-2059) 1951
This Flight Tonight has been one of my favorite Naz songs, tho the record wasn't in the best of shape. The Elvin Bishop number is another surprise and the guess is that Stephen Miller (Linn County, Grinderswitch) is lead singer, he is playing the piano for sure. Don Williams' best period was 1975-1980 thereabouts and It Must Be Love still gets played on the radio, later covered by Alan Jackson in a faithful cover. The Neil Sedaka song is the B side to Crying My Heart Out For You (#102 in 1958) and While Crying My Heart is teen idol pop, You Gotta Learn Your R&B is much more fun, I'm guessing Micky Baker played guitar and perhaps King Curtis as well. The Gisele MacKenzie song of What I'll Do, to which is more uptempo to the moody ballad that Johnny Tillotson make it later on. B side is I'm So Easy To Satisfy, which was kinda risque for 1951 standards. 45 Cat, the 45 reference guide doesn't even have this single listed. For a 70 year old record, it does play very well. At least the owner kept a sleeve on it. The Neil Sedaka record didn't have a sleeve but still looked good enough to find a sleeve and pick that up.
News: KRNA let Jaymz Larson go after four years. People are up in a uproar over that. KRNA is owned by Timesquare Media, which is worse than Cumulus and I Fart Radio. Their original program director promised more deep tracks, but he has gotten the boot long time ago and the new station manager is a real douche. Chances are good Mike won't be around much longer either. Shitty station managers are a dime a dozen.
Since the car Discman death of last month, it's been a chore trying to find a personal CD player that would fit my stringent needs when I go driving for bargain hunting. However, I found this vintage Philips CD player for 2.88 at Goodwill complete with batteries, to which "surprise" they were still working. You would think that Phillips, which invented the CD, would make a good CD player. So far, it did play one CD, a 75 minute jazz comp, with no skips but it did stop twice on occasion, but picked up where it left. The volume keeps going back to pre sets after each stop, but as long as it plays without skipping or hesitation, I hope this will last a while. But I will still keep looking for the Car Discman, as a backup.

Notes:
Cactus' Long Tall Sally got played again. It's not out of the ordinary that Beaker Street plays repeats from time to time, Chris Rea's Road To Hell got played twice.
Surprises: REO's Start A New Life with Gary Richrath singing lead from the underrated Riding The Storm Out LP, Golden Earring's Candy's Going Bad, Joe Walsh's Mother Says and surprise track, Fancy's Touch Me, the second single to the Wild Thing album. Surprise track no. 2: Nilsson's Down.
At this point, Vincent's site of the Beaker Street Playlist might be the place to go for archived Beaker Street playlist. It's a shame that I didn't archive the 2000 playlist but I thought they would never take that site down. I may discontinue the B.S. playlist if it gets too cumbersome or repetitious. But I am a sucker for playlists or top tens, I've done that before, then decided to go with documenting 45s instead. At any rate, Record World returned thanks to Beaker Street and the dedication of Tyler Vincent to keep a note to see what got played. It may revive my Sunday Night show, to which I'm rapidly getting bored with it. Perhaps I'll get out of that funk.
