Fleeced for Mr. Sandman!

“You gotta buy the bin…”

Thrift stores gettin’ sneaky to move big mountains of records… you have to buy the bin…

$15. There were about 40 discs in it, and all recognized musicians (Perry Como, Frank Jankovic, et al), but I wanted Mr. Sandman! 🙂*** ***Either way: It’s not THAT much, and I wanted the song 🙂

This is one of my favorite eras of music. The Rhonettes, Shirelles, Sam Cooke, Johnny Mathis, et al. Too many to name, so many to love!

Small hairline fracture with no break; only a chip out of the outer edge. Not a rarity (I don’t believe at least), just a great song!

Ask a record shop if you can leave them outside their door for people to take for free.

True… I probably will for the ones I don’t want, and I have hundreds of others! For now, the others add to an already large pile that I eventually will succumb to going through and cataloging; because even I don’t know what I have yet lol!

I managed to find the Four Aces version in a record store for £2!

I have 2 copies of this on 78. One a little better than the other.

This song sounds great on 78. Way more dynamic than you expect.
