Hello, everyone. Today was a good day for me record-wise. I just got back from the Indy record show this afternoon and managed to get a nice haul with only $60 to spend. Thankfully, I mostly paid $1 for each of them, with a few exceptions, but everything I got was $5 or under. I don't often get days like this, as I end up spending in the $20-$50 range for a good portion of the 45s I get, more if I get into a bidding war on eBay. But not this time. I found a lot of good soul and jazz 45s, which I now share with you below:
Fontella Bass and Bobby McClure: You'll Miss Me (When I'm Gone) (Checker)
Tommie Young: Everybody's Got A Little Devil In Their Soul (Soul Power)

Les McCann and Eddie Harris: Cold Duck/Compared To What (Atlantic)
Dave "Baby" Cortez: Belly Rub Parts 1 and 2 (Roulette)
Dave "Baby" Cortez: Funky Robot Parts 1 and 2 (All Platinum)
King Curtis: Mess Around (Capitol)
King Curtis and the Kingpins: Cook-Out (Atco)
Sandy Nelson: Drummin' Up A Storm (Imperial)
Clifton Chenier: Frog Legs (Bell)
The Jazz Crusaders: Jackson! (Chisa)
Herbie Mann: Memphis Two-Step/Soul Man (Embryo)
Herbie Mann: Push Push Parts 1 and 2 (Embryo)
The Bar-Kays: Dance, Dance, Dance (Volt)

Bobby Marchan: Shake Your Tambourine (Cameo)
The People's Choice: I Likes To Do It/Big Ladies Man (Phil-L.A. Of Soul)
Well, that about does it. As usual, hope you enjoyed checkin' it out. Just wanted to share 'em with you. Comments and questions are always appreciated. In the meantime, I look forward to my next digging excursion.....whenever that is. (This is going to be a slightly difficult month for record digging because two DVD box sets ....Popeye (1933-1938) and Woody Woodpecker and Friends....are coming out and I MUST HAVE THEM BOTH! But that's perhaps a subject for another time.)
It's Great Shakes!

how is that Clifton Chenier: Frog Legs on Bell? i've been buying a lot on bell lately...
I love the Clifton Chenier disc.
Yes, the Clifton Chenier disc is indeed a good one. One side's uptempo, the other, "Black Gal," is more bluesy. On either side, the accordion really kicks in! I'm not a zydeco expert or anything, but I know good stuff when I hear it and this one's indeed a keeper! Too bad my copy's a little beat, but you know how it goes.
Any others you're curious about?
you can't go wrong with Mongo's Atlantic 45s. Windjammer is a good one.
"Wind Jammer" is definitely one of my faves this round and has been getting a lot of spins around here. I'm also really digging Herbie Mann's "Memphis Two-Step," Groove Holmes' "Night Glider," The Rimshots "Save That Thing" and the two Willie Mitchells. And "Push Push" is great, too, especially when the guitar work kicks in on Part 2.
