I understand your real love is for the vinyl, but if you are interested in the full collection of G.Higgins recordings, scratches, pops, crackles and all, let me know. His music and career was quite interesting.
Hi, thank you. Well yes, I'm a record person, but the music is most important really. I love this record. Well written, beautifully arranged, produced, and great singing! I don't have his Karen label - 'Shame Shame' 45. Just have never came across it. So sure, I'm interested. But there is surface wear and groove wear - very different... I don't mind a bit of ambience or light surface sound, but fuzz and distortion can be annoying. I throw out a lot of records I find with "groove wear"
This blog is for lovers of the song pressed on the vinyl 45, songs lesser known, to obscure...

The days of finding 45 rpm records at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales, and even record stores is fading fast in the iPod/digital device age... Have hunted 45s for many years. Love the ritual of dropping the needle into the groove, watching it spin, hearing a few dull clicks, crackles, pops, hisses, the label art, etc.
Unfortunately, hearing these records pressed and converted into digital files diminishes the sound a lot. It just doesn't give a warm analog sound records have. To hear a vinyl 45 through speakers and an amp is quite stunning. But it will have to do. Happy listening.
