Bob and Randy (Shawn)

Hi everyone. Happy New Year. I wish all the best. For myself last year was a good year spending time with my Grandson. I hope this year will be like wise. Alright, lets dig into a good 45 from Bob and Randy on the Shawn label. From the matrix numbers (Delta Triangle Symbol 67195) in the dead wax it looks like it was pressed at the Monarch record facility in the summer of 1967. The 45 has a psych/pop, maybe a slight Turtles sound. My favorite is side one "Gonna learn something new" but both songs have a catchy beat. If anyone can provide more details about the record that would be great.

  3. Michael / Nick - I'm glad you liked the record. I noticed the song writer for both songs is Bobby Mell. Dore records released a 45 in 1962 by Bobby Mell. I am assuming it was he who penned, sang the songs on this record. I'm still looking for more information to determine if this is correct. Funny, I have two copies of this 45 and both have heavier than normal back ground noise at the beginning of side one. Maybe it's a vinyl pressing issue. Anyway, it is has a couple of nice pop tunes that is worth remembering. Thank you for your comments.

  4. Am I losing my mind, or is there no longer any way to hear these tracks on your blog? All the links seem to be gone for everything...
