Records, EP’s, LP’s, Double LP’s!!

This time I went decided to search through the multitude of record and record like things Bonanza has to offer. I enjoyed & still on occasion enjoy playing a classic record. There is nothing like a needle on wax, when you listen to sounds from the past!

The first thing I stumbled upon was a Pyle ClassicalTurntable with AM/FM Radio CD/Cassette & USB Recording. This is a really cool record player that plays almost anything.  It even has a USB encoder that can easily record old vinyl or other Aux in audio onto Flash Drive through a USB Socket and transfers them into MP3 Formats. This turntable is a great alternative for anyone looking to transfer their music from older formats onto their computer.

Next I found an interesting LP from Kinky Friedman entitled ‘LASSO FROM EL PASSO’ (1976). Kinky is definitely a character, and this LP lets us in on a fraction of his weirdness.  Eric Clapton and Ringo Star (as the voice of Jesus) also make guest appearances on this album.

The next item I chose is sold at our store, A Record Pendant Fun 50s Style Jewelry. It’s the perfect accessory for any 50’s, 60’s or 70’s party. Or you could just wear it around the house while you listen to the funky grooves of the past. Ahh…Nostalgia.

The second LP and last item I chose from Bonanza was a classic Funkadelic record: ‘Uncle Jam Wants You’.  Even though it only has 6 tracks, ‘Freak of the Week’ is a real classic, which has been recently sampled numerous times, and profoundly influenced West Coast Hip-Hop. This record also takes forthright political stances on situations in America at the time, and problem’s we still face today. Uncle Jam Wants You is a funky addition to anyone’s collection.
Bonanza is a rather decent resource for classic records, and retro memorabilia.


Now, it's time to go through my own record collection and listen to the  treasures there. I'll be back on Bonanza soon to search again.
