Record Spotlight: The Coasters

Coasters - Down In Mexico (AtCo 6064) from boogaludo on Vimeo.



We have pretty much every Coasters single and this was the last big one we needed to find. I look for it at every record shop with no luck. We finally found it at Randy's in Salt Lake and I literally held it up and yelled "Ah ha!" when I found it. It is an original copy and it is in pristine condition. Such a great find.

Record Spotlight: The Police


The Police - Can't Stand Losing You

We already had this single, which is probably my favorite Police song, but I had always been keeping my eye out for this picture sleeve. It was banned by the BBC and then released with alternate covers. We finally found it at Amoeba and I couldn't have been more excited. It is so over-dramatic, like the lyric, "But you'll be sorry when I'm dead/And all this guilt will be on your head." Yeesh.
