Vintage Vinyl Revival

The Beatles produced so many God-forsaken albums, with so many different versions released at different times on different labels with so many minute details and stories floating around them, that only infinitesimally subtle nuances can keep them apart, and that’s without adding the trouble of the counterfeited copies. It’s not uncommon for literally one little detail to mean the difference between an album that is potentially worth thousands of dollars, and one that belongs in the 50¢ bin.

Here’s a list of Beatles records I have for sale, plus a rant about my love / hate relationship with them.

Ray Stevens is celebrating 50 years in the music biz. This album was one of his first, which was followed by a slew of records, hits, and ridiculousness. The joker is still producing too!

I was pretty excited to come across this little tune-tote, especially considering it still has what must be the collection of the original owner. The name & address sticker of one Sheryl Johnson plastered on each of the records clued me in. I like to imagine a teenage Sheryl showing off her tune-tote to her friends, or sitting by herself listening to “Johnny Angel” and longing after her latest crush.
