Song of the Week: Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells

This is the first "official"week of summer. I know, it's probably felt like summer much longer. It's been hot here for the last month or so.

What better way to celebrate summer than with the quintessential summer song?  I'm talking of course about "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondells.  This song was released in 1969 and, for me, represents the essence of the late 60s.


Check out this song being played on vinyl below. Listen to the Song of the Week presentation on Vinyl Voyage Radio at 10am and 10pm (Central/ -5 GMT) on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 and throughout the week.

New Titles Added--December, 2015

As usual, we are constantly adding new music---all from vinyl---here on Vinyl Voyage Radio. I like to peruse thrift shops to uncover  vinyl gems from any genre. Over the last several weeks, we have been adding some great music here to Vinyl Voyage Radio.

Nothing like a little Carly Simon. The Best of Carly Simon, released in 1975, has all of her early hits, including "That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be."



We also added some vintage albums from artists from the 1960s:





A couple of Elvis albums, too.



Plus, I spent a few days going through some vintage 45s as well. Got some great ones added. Zoom into the image below to see the 45s. Some of the 45s I inherited from my grandparents. You can still see the labels my grandfather placed on the records:
