Here are several more LP's I picked up on my last adventure. Some more great Blues stuff. How could we ever forget "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes!

Love them!!!
BB and Ray are what caught my eye! Thanks for showing these great old albums and getting Please Mr. Postman stuck in my head for the rest of the day! *LOL* :-)
Thank you very much musikchoo & chinablue. (: (: Now you need to go to YouTube, play it live and really get it stuck!!!!
Great blues and classic Motown ... now we're talking! (I grew up in Chicago - how could I not like blues?)
Oh I loved the Marvelettes I still play their music ! These are great Pack !! love them .
I am with Chinablue " Please Mr Postman " is playing in my head . Was agreat old song !
I am glad I could be the cause of today's "continual song rewind!!!)
I also grew up in the Chicago area in the 50's & 60's.
Chicago Blues is right up there with Mississippi Delta Blues in many aspects. How could we ever forget Paul Butterfield, Charlie Musselwhite, Barkin' Bill Smith, Big Walter Horton, Willie Dixon, Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater, Homesick James, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Little Walter, Luther Allison, and the late great guitarist Mike Bloomfield, sorry, I could go on and on.
Glad everybody enjoyed them.
Thank you for the love rniederman, Manikin & mrmajestic1
Oh my ... you hit my 'who's who' list of artists. It's been about eight years since I went to Buddy Guy's Legends. BTW (and speaking of great delta blues), I saw Pinetop Perkins and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith twice (2009 & 2010). Sadly, Pinetop passed in March 2011 - the last of the great Mississippi bluesmen.
That B.B. King image is amazing! And yes, ive listened to "Mr. Postman" BUT, (and here's where i get ALOT of positive feedback) HOW OLD ARE YOU GUYS? jez, i mean, i also listened to motown in the late 60s-early 70s. Now i understand Mani liking pre-cambrian music, i mean, my god, she knows.......... Dick Clark!
Thank you very much mikielikesigns2. How old are you guys? Wellllll, let me tell you. I have a birthday in a week and I will give you a hint. It starts with six and ends with four.

I remember BB when he played some local bars, I went up to talk to him, the stage I think was about 6 inches tall. Those were great years just being able to meet all the greats, love these records, which I still prefer over cd. Now if only I could have bought that old 70s Pioneer system I seen today going up for auction !~Phil.
I guess I did not do bad for .25!!
Great memories, thank you for the kind words PhilDavidAlexanderMorris. Should have bought it!
packrat, that image is not from 1987 , any idea when its from?A-1 , A-7 , B-4 ,, (i think) ive heard . But for you, ill see if bearshare has these & listen tonight.
The image is just a vintage photograph they used for the cover. The Lp is a British import compilation. Not sure of the photo year.
