My latest collection of 45s I picked up over the weekend. This time from Ditch Records in downtown Victoria.
It begins with the contemporary Mumford & Sons. The song “Little Lion Man” has taken on new meaning to me as of late and seeing it at Ditch was kismet so i had to have it. The b-side might be of interest to you major fans as its not on their album and could be new to you.
Then we blast off to the 60s. I bought “The Nana Song” by The Scorpions for my nana… but he really is singing “na-na” not about Nana. Oh well, groovy beat band of the 60s, and the song sounds great.
More beat band action from The Creation, then The Zombies who I have a major lust for as of late. The set ends with some American doo-wop of the 60s in Randy and the Rainbows and then a weird, rare cut from UK’s female vocal group the Four Pennies. The song “My Block” doesn’t appear to have ever been a single. weird.
I hope you enjoy the set. Thank you for making the time to listen to music.
You can STREAM the set from my MIXCLOUD page.

The Morning After 
You bought some of those 11.99 Zombies 45s from Ditch? I was down there the other day and had to talk myself out of buying a few. $12 was a bit too much to spend on 45s.

yeah $12 for a 45 (unless i NEED it) is a lot. I bought the $5.99 one he had. I “almost” bought the $11.99 one… but I already had about $50 worth and that’s a lot for my meager budget to spend on records.
I totally get that. I think my record budget right now is less than $50 a month. A lot of piracy going on these days now that I’m unemployed. When I was there he had 4 or 5 Zombies 45s. A friend of mine picked the same up for about 4 dollars less when he was at Easy Street yesterday. Buying records on the island isn’t cheap these days.
