FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, SOME OF THE DJZigZag / WAGRadio LIBRARY HAS BEEN UP FOR SALE ON THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET THROUGH - GEMM - AND RECENTLY A REPRO-LOU COURTNEY ALBUM WAS SHIPPED OFF TO BROOKLYN, NEW YORK TO A HAPPY SOUL-LOVING INDIVIDUAL NAMED HOWARD B. BEFORE THAT A CROWN RECORD LABEL L.P. by ELMORE JAMES FOUND A HOME IN THE LAND OF WA - JAPAN.
WE HERE AT WAGRadio ARE GOING TO GET A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS ABOUT CULLING AND DIVESTING OURSELVES OF SOME OF THE MORE SOUGHT-AFTER ITEMS IN THE BIBLIOTEQUE.
LIKE THIS ONE. Reprise #6429 - "FATS"
DJZigZag tells us
THAT THE ORIGINAL HOST OF GROOVIN' BLUE - BILL REITER . . . FOUND THIS ALBUM TOSSED INTO THE GARBAGE ONE NIGHT AT RADIO STATION CFUN WHEN HE CAME IN TO BEGIN HIS SHIFT AS HOST OF THE MIDNITE SHOW.
He is still known by some (to this day) as
BILL REITER - THE ALL-NITER . . .
ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH THE ALBUM, BY AN ALL-TIME NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSICAL HERO - MR. ANTOINE DOMINO - WASN'T WHAT MR. R. WAS LISTENING TO AT THE TIME (1971), HE COULDN'T BRING HIMSELF TO LET IT LIE IN THE BIN OF SHAME and RESCUED IT FOR HIS COLLECTION.
WELL, IT TURNS OUT THIS REPRISE L.P. WITH REALLY NO NAME
["FATS - INTERNATIONAL RELEASE"]
IS NOW A COLLECTORS ITEM . . .
THEY NEVER DID DESIGN A JACKET FOR IT.
A COLLECTORS ITEM THAT YOU CAN BUY
ON THE DJZIGZAG GEMM SITE . . . ZZWAXNTHANG
FOR
$760.00
