There actually is a kid singing on the chorus of "Tear It Out"! It's my 10-year old niece!

I've really scaled down my vinyl purchases too. I love Ryan's album. I chose the limited black vinyl. Take care.

[@MarkMorris-1962]

Very entertaining! "Verging on Partridge Family," made me laugh. Damn, you have a hell of a collection. Always learn something new.

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Love the Byrds Ritchie ! Nice find🎄

[@TommysVinylnaut]

Nice finds of punk and 60s. At you saved the best for the last - Ryan. He knows how to rock!

[@vikingbrace]

This might be your best thumbnail ever. Pretty awesome finds!

[@TheHogsEarReport]

Oh you like the Yellow Balloon? I have a few of their 45s, never have listened to the whole album. I have one Don Grady of "My Three Sons" fame 45. I think it pre-dates him joining Yellow Balloon. I need to wimp out for awhile and listen to the album.

[@vinylrichie007]

Do you have the Yellow Balloon single where the b-side is the a-side played backwards.

[@TheHogsEarReport]

@@vinylrichie007 Yes, It's NOOLLAB WOLLEY. Yellow balloon backwards.

[@thatoldgoatsvinyl]

Cool used pick ups of the year and The Ivory's is another for my want list.

[@RobertsOnMyTurntable]

Excellent finds Ritchie, more bands to discover for sure. I never see these in the wild around here for sure

[@WesB-g1c]

There is a Vol. 2 of that Mummies series. I used to have all their records, including "Party At Steve's House," but "Never Been Caught" is by far their best.

[@MarkChristensen-yw9kz]

Caught a Crucifucks show at the Satyricon in Portland Oregon back in the day. I had never heard of the band but their name on the marquee made me laugh so I went. Crazy days! Thanks for the memory. I think I still have Wisconsin in my collection.

[@SublimMedia]

Great finds!!!

[@benrankins4446]

Nice t-shirt. Like you, I had heard of the Crucifucks, but never heard their stuff. I'm sure Joaquim is all over them. I have that Mummies comp & Never Been Caught. I haven't seen Yellow Balloon & The Orient Express over here until they both were recently reissued. Good records. Mazzy should chip in to finance your box set collecting. He's seems to be doing alright.

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

The things you've picked up this year are nothing like the things I've picked up. I haven't managed to clear my in box this year so I'll struggle to do a roundup before new year.

[@joaquimgomes4507]

Crucifucks are definitely overlooked I Wisconsin it’s great as well. I’ll have to check out Total Hell.

[@beauwilliamson3628]

I remember playing Wisconsin at a house party, and there was a trainee opera singer there. She listened for a while and then said: "Nobody who isn't a fantastic singer could be that evenly off key."

[@TurntableManiac]

Always a great bunch of records.

[@mazzysmusic]

You can never show the Byrds too much. Love the Yellow Ballon single. The B side was the same song backward. Never heard the aLBUM.

[@djtrishm]

Hi Richie Cool Albums .Like you I dig Ska!Oh no Don't start sounding like Kamala! he hee! Cool albumbs. Thumbs up! Merry Christmas. Trish

[@Shawn_at_Vinyl_Minimalist]

On the radio show and early 90s MRR was calling it NOFI 😅😅

[@vinylrichie007]

NoFi is a perfect description. I’m using that in my video I’m doing with Mazzy.

[@BoomKazoo2112]

Cool Racket Squad record! I’ll have to look for that, their first album is pretty good I found that Ivory record a while ago but wasn’t as exited as you lol Take care Brian ☮️

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Hey Richie. The Racket Squad sounds good. Gonna have to look that one up, same with Ivory. Love the WCPAEB, that’s a great album of theirs. Cheers

[@EmbryonicRobot]

"A compilation of ... ska!" 🙂Fabulous records, even the ones I don't know!

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Richie, I’m like you. Retired and no money. I don’t do RSD. I’m too old, too lazy and too broke. So no new releases either unless I get some mad money or its my birthday or Christmas. :). Cheers

[@danakimborowicz5812]

‘Nardcore’ ! Who knew 😂

[@BobbyGass5]

Say Pat. First off Merry Christmas to you and the Family kid, all the best. I remember that Hobbits album but not the music it's been that long since I heard any of it. Same as the Yellow Balloon. Cheers.

[@prossart35]

Rich did you receive the Redd Cross book?

[@davethepickupartist7161]

How did you keep those Mummies albums under wraps?

[@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893]

Hey! I love The Mummies, but I rarely find I'm in the right mood for scuzzy retro garage punk. I'm not sure what that says about me?

[@ST-xg3gy]

That you're not in the mood for scuzzy garage rock?

[@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893]

@ST-xg3gy I think you might be onto something.

[@brucster99b2]

The Ivory album has it's moments. Vocally though, to me anyway, the singer has a kinda Slick/Joplin vibe to it, but too much Joplin for my ears. The Markley album could've been a WCPAEB album as they all appear on it. Apparently Markley had an eye for the younger girls, if ya know what I mean😉, which, I believe, got him into a little trouble with the boys in blue. The album's posted on KZbin.

[@TheSixthBeatle-p9k]

Norm I noticed you were doing black and white th-nails lately

[@ST-xg3gy]

Was the new Andre 3000 record on anyone's top 23' list?😎

[@vinylrichie007]

@@ST-xg3gy Thanks. Your comment alerted me to the fact I wrote 2023. I meant 2024.

[@ilikethat_record]

Getting rid of your 7”s you say…how about that NA, I know a guy who’d be interested! 😅

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I’ve always read ‘Skatalites’ as ‘Ska-talities’. Oops.

[@terrykeenan4308]

You realize, you actually used the word whimsical in describing an album? 😂
