I grew up in Los Angeles, i started collecting 45's & LP's when i was 11, my first 45 was Mockingbird by Inez & Charlie Foxx......my first LP's were Marvin Gaye Greatest Hits, The Righteous Brothers Greatest Hits & The Shangri-las Greatest Hits......i bought these albums on my way home from the race track with my parents, we stopped at a liquor store to buy cigarettes for my mother and these albums were for sale, $3.99 each. I love my music.......there is so much music in this world and i want it all!!
