  1. PLAY IT AGAIN was a favorite.
    I like how they interleaved
    oldies with a plea to the DJ to..
    well....play it again.

    Don't recall this lasting too
    long. But I do enjoy having
    the original 45. Yard sales
    were the best. Not many 45s out
    there now.

    Another in this vein was MR DJby Van McCoy
    (The HUSTLE).
    It's kinda of Art Laboeish requesting
    songs for his sweetie.

  2. I really miss looking through 45s at garage sales, thrift stores and swap meets. It's rare to find any lately, and then they turn out to be 1980s records!

  3. There was a news story last week
    about a man in socal that owns an extremely
    large collection of 45s and wants
    to part with them for a good price.
    He's in his 80s. Time to let go.
    Don't think he wants to sell it
    piecemeal. Look it up.

  4. where did that article appear so I can look it up? Can you give a URL?

    Was that the story about Music Man Murray in the L.A. Times? If so, it's a record shop he's selling, not a "collection" per se. There is a difference.
