Romance From Outer Space.........Satellite Love

Picked this one up a few months ago from the St. Louis Record Convention. It was in someones $2 box, I took the chance based on the title. Not a bad R&B novelty number. By Lil Randolph "Madame Queen" whoever she might be, sings about her outer space romance. I think Chock Records "Full Of Hits" is kinda like one of those novelty or top hit labels. "Satellite Love" is credited to Elroy Peace who recorded "Quick Like" on the Trans Continental record label such as Kid Thomas' "Rockin' This Joint To-Nite". "Quick Like" was also comped on Sin Alley Vol.3. The flip side "My Heart Sings Ah", is more of a nice jump blues love number. Also credited to Elroy Peace. Here are sound clips of both. Enjoy!

Rex The Hex........THE CURSED RECORD!!!!

I really can't contain myself from picking up spooky Halloween titled records. Yes, the majority of them are terrible and corny, but I tend to like most of em. The Castle Kings-You Can Get Him Frankenstein on Atlantic is one of my favorite Halloween tracks. This a kooky novelty oddball cut from the KaHill label. I think most would consider this a popcorn record. I know the label produced all kinds of music, from this novelty cut to country to garage. There is a garage rarity on the label, The Infinitives-Heidi, which is a Louie, Louie ripoff. Don't pass this one as it has sold for over a grand! Anyway dig Rex The Hex!

From Outer Space To A Little Record Shop In St. Louis!

One day i decided to checkout a friends record shop, Phonomode, here in St. Louis. I have pulled countless great 45's out of this place. The back room of this place is a mess. A vinyl jungle. Piles of lps, stacks of 78s and boxes of 45s. You never know what you're going to find in this place, but if you like to dig and don't mind all the dust than you're more than likely to find a gem. Over on a shelf I saw a tiny stack of colored 45s. In this stack was primarily 70s and 80s records along with the red plastic RCA classical 45s. I managed to pullout this oddball along with a Red Murell feat. Jimmie River's & His Cherokees on Cavalier. The Space Men feat. King Sol & His Space Horn......sounds like a Sun Ra kind of guy. The flip is by Rick Shaw & The Mandarins. This record is a double sided oddball. Martian Chant b/w Oriental Flip. Dig!
