So I won an auction for a Dizzy Gillespie acetate on ebay, from Dizzy's personal collection, auctioned last year in an estate sale (I checked, it's legit), for ten bucks. Whee!
Here's the thing: Ding-A-Ling, one of the two songs on the acetate, is a released Dizzy track. The other song, Dune Buggy, as far as I can tell, is not. So potentially, I might have the only copy of an unreleased song from a jazz legend. For ten bucks.
Shit like this makes me giddy.
I'm a sucker for picture discs, and I couldn't pass this baby up (especially for $1.50). It's 80s german (i think) exercise music, topped with lots of "eine zwei drei vier" over and over. Even more awesome is that most of the music is 80s euro dance pop hits (Yaz, anyone?). Topfit!
(I haven't got a good vinyl to MP3 solution yet, but when I do, I'll get you guys some audio. In the meantime, enjoy the picture's perm-y goodness.)
