I have an original 45 RPM local Athens, Georgia recording of the B52s singing "Rock Lobster". It was made before they were famous and is 1000% better than the glossy over-produced version made later, that is on their first big album, that you all may be familiar with. I love to play it once in a while, and then usually three times in a row. I also have an old 45 RPM record of Ernie from Sesame Street singing "Rubber Duckie". Cute stuff !!!
Guilty Pleasures
garfish’s recent thread on c/w music brought to mind the “guilty pleasures” admissions recently submitted by TAS writers and reviewers. a “guilty pleasure,” roughly speaking, is a musical selection one adores but plays only in secret, fearing its publication as an audiophile’s favorite might elicit ridicule or, at least, laughter. so, fellow a-goners, are you willing to confess to a couple of your guilty pleasures? I’ll start with two and add others if this thread gets going: (1) “not for kids only,” j. garcia & d. grisman; (2) ‘the little mermaid,” OST.
