Hit me two times!
Frat rockers The Swingin’ Medallions and their frat party fave “Double Shot (of My Baby’s Love)”. Springsteen used to drop this into his encore medley at live shows. Nice slacks guys.

The hits that made it happen baby! with Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Four Tops, Billy Paul, James Brown, The O’Jays, Barbara Mason and the host with the most afro, Don Cornelious. This is one “bad” (as in “good”) comp – and it’s only $3.98! That’s right soul brothers and soul sisters, only $3.98! So don’t delay, order yours today!

“A Christmas fantasy for children and those young in heart presented by 49th State Hawaii Record Co.” And the record is red vinyl!
I love the recordings of Kerouac reading his works. He has a great voice and very cool, laid back style. Here’s a clip of him on the Tonight Show with Steve Allen on the piano.
Verve Records 1959. Cover photo of Kerouac by Robert Frank. Sleeve notes by Bill Randle. Kerouac reads extracts from “Old Angel Midnight”, “Desolation Angels”, “The Beginnings of Bop”, “Mexico City Blues”, “Neal And The Three Stooges”, “San Francisco Blues”, “The Subterraneans” and more. Unlike Jack’s previous two lps this one is him solo. Without Steve Allen on the piano or Zoot Sims on sax.
German composers Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab (recording as Vampires’ Sound Incorporation) created this groovy soundtrack to accompany Director Franco’s freaked-out vision. “Their crazy sounds are a speed-hopped swinger’s bash of blaring trumpet, booming trombone, slinky organ, and spacy sitar, with a beefy foundation of mod guitar, bass, and drums.” This was included in a 1995 reissue by Crippled Dick records called “Vampiros Lesbos” and became an underground hit.

Beautiful. Like a German expressionist painting. Lotte Lenya was married to Kurt Weill who wrote “Three Penny Opera” with Bertolt Brecht. Lotte played the main role of Jenny in the original staging. Fyi, she was also in the movie “From Russia With Love”. Thanks again to Kerstan for sending this in.
