Five Dollar Singles

A friend of Joe Woods left about 150, 45 rpm, 7” vinyl singles and EPs from the 50s and 60s at his house; records that he bought at a garage sale for a total of five dollars. Here's recording of each one, along with the history and witty anecdotes that should rightfully accompany them.

Additionally featured on this blog reviews of albums that have less than five thousand listeners and that I've listened to five times and show write-ups.

    Tommy James and the Shondelles — “Hanky Panky” (2:52)

    pub. Roulette 1966, R-4686

    —-

    I guess they wanted to make it very emphatically clear that his baby does, in fact, do the hanky-panky.  Which is sex, by the way.  He has sex with his baby.

    This is actually a cover song, originally by the pop group The Raindrops, this version, however, reached number one in 1966.

    Oh, and Roulette is now owned by EMI. 

    See you tomorrow.
