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.

Attention Vintage Vinyl Collectors - Bonanza is the Place

Once in awhile I enjoy spending an evening browsing through my record collection and listening to some of my old favorites. Nat King Cole still gives me the shivers and Perry Como... ah that voice!  I also like 50's Rock and Roll and anything I can dance to.  I took a look on Bonanza the other day to see what's out there for record collectors.  Here's what I found ...


Searching "Vintage Vinyl" I came up with 257 hits and found lots of goodies at jammatun's booth "Tranquility Base Design"  There's 45's and LPs of folk, rock and vintage comedy - a good solid eclectic mix. Here's what jammatun has to say "We have antiques and collectibles including a nice selection of vintage postcards and a large variety of vintage vinyl. The vinyl records include 78’s, 45’s, and 33 1/3’s from all genres. We attend Estate Sales every week and are never sure what rare and vintage items we will find!"


I also searched "Records" and found one of my favorites "The Ronettes " Walkin' in the Rain " at Stan's Collectibles  This booth has lots of LP sets and early 50's music. No wonder there's such a good selection.  According to the profile the booth owner  has "owned several successful Records on Wheels franchises for 15 years in Etobicoke, Mississauga, Toronto and Streetsville,Ontario Canada."


Now on to "45s" and I found not only stickers and  tshirts but  "Haney's Hobbies" where Jukebox 45's rule ! Yes, that's Elvis, Sinatra and the Kingston Trio on 45 ready for your record player. The owner says " I'm the quiet type." I guess they let their music selection do all the talking.


The record selection on Bonanza is changing all the time as new stock gets added daily.  It's worth checking out if you're a collector or just someone who likes to listen to music the old fashioned way :)
