7" collectors have reason to rejoice today as Amoeba Hollywood overhauls what was once the oldies / doo-wop / country wall into to a much more diverse patch of records. We'll now feature funk, electro, northern and modern soul rarities alongside surf, garage, rockabilly and aforementioned genres. This round of rare discs includes the monster jam El Funky by Jimmi Mayes, scarce releases on the Stanson Records label including 45's from Ramsey 2C-3D & Sonny Craver, and Roulette Records rarities from early rock and roll to the electro era. There's also great picture sleeves from Annette Funicello, Yardbirds, Johnny Cash and Duane Eddy as well as promo items from Marty Balin, Collins Kids & the Surfmen.
Johnny Cash is one of music's most celebrated bad-asses. His family will be putting some of the iconic artist's belongings up for auction in December and a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.
Check out the jumpsuit Cash wore in rehearsals for his famous San Quentin performance...the man in blue!
Here's a sweet note he wrote:
And a pair of his famous boots:
While we're talking about him, the Johnny Cash Show is one of Cash's lasting legacies. I nabbed a few videos of him duetting with folks on the show:
"Silver Thread and Golden Needles" with Melanie at 3:05 mark
"Girl From the North Country" with Joni Mitchell

Bon voyage, bitches.
For the boyfriend and myself, going on a second cruise was like a couple of World War II veterans returning to Truk Lagoon – we knew in our hearts we were headed for a piece of paradise, but past experience kept us on edge, worried for the worst. (It’s hard to come back from a cruise where you order 1 bowl of chicken soup and, instead, are brought 14 bowls of rice and 26 hard boiled eggs.) At least this time, we had company: his mother, Chris, and his father, Fred – two people with lots of cruise experience.
