Fantastic summer singles. Thank you for all.
Your welcome Jaime.
Here's a more interesting Dickies picture sleeve for Nights in White Satin. I hadn't realized it had been "revised".
Also, one can never go wrong with The Barracudas. Cheers!
Thanks for the sleeve, I believe the KKK sleeve, (as its known) was banned.
teenage paradise, so fantastic. thanks so much for the 7". great rhythm and vocals.
Thanks Zach, glad you like it. Most of the Albertos records are at least entertaining, and you can find them pretty cheap usually.
oh sweet, thanks!
