Greetings

Well, I originally set up this blog ages ago to start listing scans and audio of 1950s and 60s dance-craze records (R&B, Soul, etc), but that hasn't happened so far (although it still might at some point).

However, I will be putting up monthly mixes of 30 or so R&B 45s, hope you enjoy them!
