Ok…
A little warning to the Ape faithful out there…

I just brought a SHITLOAD of 7”s/45s up from my basement, so you MIGHT be seeing a lot of the more interesting ones pop up in your feed for the next few weeks.

It’s gonna take me a while to go through all of these and clean em, but I haven’t gone through these in at least 10 years.

I hoping I find some cool shit that I just forgot I had.

🔥🔥🔥

SPOUSE
1 Marvel To DC
1999 U.S. 7” single

THIS is a hell of a gem 💎.

When I was in my local shop today, and came across this and noticed that all three songs were superhero & comic book themed, my interest was peaked enough to throw it on the shop’s table to sample it.

I got 10 seconds into the first song on side A, and stopped.
I immediately knew it was for me, and was going to take it home regardless.

These three songs are SUPER catchy, super infectious and charming lo-fi #indie rock & pop.

Spouse has a ton of stuff on Bandcamp, including THIS single, so go on over there and check em out!

Fellow New Englanders doing their thing!

GENESIS
Ripples b/w It’s Yourself
1976 Italy 7” single
@ #45rpm

One of two wonderful 7” single finds from the California trip.

This is very hard to come by, and I can’t believe I found it in a box with a 3.99 (U.S.) sticker on it.

Both of these songs are very unique in the forms that they appear here.

THIS version of “Ripples” is a tighter, more radio-friendly mix with the extended instrumental part removed.

The best thing about this is the B-Side.

Every other released version of “It’s Yourself” after this (2000, 2007) appears HEAVILY edited.
The last part of the song is missing from both versions, but is completely intact here.

A wonderful, RANDOM picture sleeve find from Left Of The Dial Records in Orange, California.

I went a little wild today, and scored a thick pile of #70s and #80s 7” singles.
38 to be exact.

R.E.M., Blondie, Soft Cell, OMD, U2, Guns N Roses, Berlin, Springsteen, AC/DC, Billy Vera, B52’s, Thomas Dolby, The Cult… just to name a few.

A ton of appetizer spins to keep me busy for a while.

All of the 7” singles from today’s haul.
Half with picture sleeves, half with generic plain sleeves.

Got a lot of cool stuff to get through the next few days.

MORRISSEY
Every Day Is Like Sunday / Disappointed
1988 Canada 7” PROMO single

I found a bunch of GEM #45singles today, & THIS is my favorite.

A pristine copy of a PROMO 7” with my favorite Morrissey song as the B-side.

That angry, bitter ball of hate sure knows how to write a great song. Two absolute bangers here side by side.
