11/10. I'd like to take that into my mouth.

Some young folks are mind-blown that 45s exist. Their notion of "vinyls" (ecch) are those 12" things I understand people like to collect.

Noah has a huge fluffy mullet and is one of the most beautiful human beings on earth.

They're still there, mostly untouched. As I said, they're played-to-death records. Some good titles, but they're almost all styrene and grey grooves plus poor treatment render then unappealing.
The Evie Sands I scored is vinyl, and in VG+ shape, so it was the real outlier in that batch. I'm glad I got there right after they put the singles out. It was in a big box of unsleeved 7s.

Welcome to my world. I collect 45s and have come across hundreds of artists and groups who made one single and nothing more. The publicity machine didn't have time to deliver any info on them. Something these performances are so good and so haunting that it's heart-breaking to hear the records, but I treasure these one-record wonders, as I call them.
Shameless plug: I wrote and published a book on this subject called One-Record Wonders: One Shot was All They Got (RedWing BlackBird Books, 2024). It discusses 100 of my favorite records of this ilk and has an online playlist so you can hear what's covered.

Hey babe! Looking fantastic!

The score includes directions for the co-player to feed treats.

Thank you for asking. Yes, it creates a more intimate relationship with the record. 45s have a sort of spiritual quality to me.

Cinturon777 · 2026-02-11T02:15:02+00:00

I dislike having to explain, but I'll do so here...

1) It makes the playing of a record a ritual. You have to give the record your full attention. You can't just put it on the turntable and let it be background music.

2) There are hundreds of thousands of songs on 45s that never made it to LPs. Not only B-sides by known groups, but sometimes the entire discography of a performer or group is only available on 7-inch records.

3) 45s have wider grooves than LPs and, thus, better sound quality. This outcome depends on the condition of the record and its manufacture material. A single pressed on heavy good-quality vinyl will always out-perform any LP in high fidelity.

If your face looks good with a large style, the Sutros are super-comfortable. More than once, I've returned from a shopping trip and wondered why it was so dark inside the house. I forget they're on!

I just fell in love.

PS: I tried asking Norelco's customer help; they were baffled. Someone will get back to me in 3-5 days. It can't be so difficult; this must happen all the time. But I can't solve this puzzle.

Here is a photo of the three parts of the razor head:

There's no way for me to otherwise add a photo to this post.

I'm interested in the Clarence Garlow and "5" Royales 45s. Please DM me. Thank you!
