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.

Vintage Comics & Amazing Stories

One of things I enjoyed most as a child was reading comic books. Comics allow the reader to become fully engrossed in the world of the creator, by providing both entertaining and interesting visuals in combination with dialogue. Comics can also provide an alternate story line of other forms of entertainment. Some specific vintage comics I enjoyed growing up, and still enjoy, are Star Trek Comics, Amazing Stories pulp mags, and Supergirl. (oh I love the outfit ! ) 


Looking on Bonanza for some fresh retro comics, my first find is a DC Star Trek No. 1 First Issue Vintage Comic. Star Trek comics are great because they offer any Star Trek, or 'Trekkie' a completely new story line to become familiar with. As the comic says, "The Adventure Begins Anew!"


My second find is the Amazing Stories pulp magazines. They are hugely imaginative stories which include: aliens, Aztecs, and all kinds of fun space and Science Fiction adventures. Plus you get your moneys worth with multiple stories in each comic! Sweet deal!


My last find is a Vintage Supergirl Adventure Comic. I enjoy the Supergirl comics because of their alternative perspective on fighting crime. Yes, girls are strong, smart and have super powers - plus she looks fabulous in tights!


So if you're a fan of classic comics, try shopping at Bonanza and don't forget to say "Hey Viv! Sent me!"
