Pin The Tail On The Donkey

James pulled a lot of 1960s garage rock, Beat, and other rockers in recent digging, and Uwe has dug into his collection for some forgotten favorites.

You’ll hear a one of many great records on a cartoon record label, Jackie Wilson singing about the New Breed, a rarity from Columbus, Ohio’s Capsoul label, a Mardi Gras staple, and a record we considered one of our first “rare” soul finds before years of collecting redefined what rare and valuable meant.
