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.

The Beatles’ butcher cover is a perfect example of rare, collectible, vintage vinyl, and you can bet I’m proud to currently have it in my hands, and to offer it as my very first item for sale on Ebay. The Beatles are a genre of music and topic of study all their own. In fact, there are entire price guides dedicated not just to the Beatles, but to this album!

It should be rad enough that I present to you here the “Waylon Jennings of Yugoslavia,” but I hope you’ll find what has prompted me to make this lengthy (if not epic) post to be especially interesting. [...] I was contacted by one James Jajac, whose father photographed the album cover.

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.

A grimy mix of rockin’ monster melodies, las vegas grind style.

[set 1 of 5] From the last regular FM broadcast [before the return] of the Vintage Vinyl Revival on KBGA, including some upbeat vintage pop to start and a couple melancholic cheesy easy listening tunes to close.

[set 2 of 5] From the last regular FM broadcast [before the return] of the Vintage Vinyl Revival on KBGA College Radio, including a few of my favorite standby records.

An upbeat Valentine’s mix of romance rock, vintage-pop & other “sweet nothings.”

It still doesn’t quite fit my mood – at the moment women don’t seem entirely evil – but for some of you, perhaps they do. As promised, remixed set #2 from the recent live session at the Palace Billiards DJ Lounge.
