  • Episode 407: I Got It Made (In The Shade)
    May 5 2026

    James has some recent finds for his collection from a rural Kentucky barn and an auction where they let some great dusty 45s go unnoticed while they concentrated on signed(?) Beatles stuff and other collectables. We get into some things from King Records empire, and several Motown spins from a big hit to a weird miss with a few in between. Plus, hear some stories about obsessively scrolling Facebook Marketplace for boxes of unloved, ignored 45s, and how that sometimes results in a few diamonds in the dirt.
