Received two Don Adams records in the auction lot. Playing Get Smart. Which is essentially a radio play. It’s ok but I’m having trouble concentrating on it. (Hiccup is barking like the world will end if he stops). #vinyl #recordsky

Yet another band I don’t know. The Windbreakers. A Different Sort. What’s cool about this is the insert. Some great 80’s indie bands on it. #vinyl #recordsky

Another group I don’t know. The Sandmen. Hate Your Ways. It’s a 33rpm 12” but it sounds almost as if it’s on the wrong speed. #vinyl #recordsky

Timbuk 3. All I Want For Christmas. Such a great song (though it never took off because it’s pretty cynical but still relevant). This group was so smart and thought of as a one hit wonder but they weren’t about that song. #vinyl #recordsky
