K-Tel records

[jp1969]

Seems they had a theme for every kind of compilation.
My favorites were Goofy Greats and Dumb Dittys.
My brother would play these at special occasions.
How about you?
Got a favorite compilation from K-Tel?

Goofy Greats was the best

I had that on 8-track

In this PC world you'll never see another song like Ahab the Arab

I used to drink in a bar they owned as well.

I found another one a few years back. It skips a bit, but man what memories! I gave my original copy to my friend Laura before we left NYC, b/c she loved it so much and we had a blast w/ it.

The Martian Hop

It was 1963 and I was 5 years old...
