2010 Sainte-Croix Syrah Merlot

Heading to France this afternoon via a nice 2010 Syrah-Merlot blend from Sainte-Croix. Picked this up over at my local Trader Joes for less than a fiver. Hmm - rich and yummy with a very dry finish. Not bad for the price - I'll be picking up more. I've got a big pot of Bolognese on this afternoon - this should go well with whatever pasta the girls what tonight. It's going perfectly with the grilled red pepper strips and chorizo that we are having for appetizers.

Cheers!

PS - here's some more info on the wine - logabottle.com

Ebay Rock 45's 2/24/12

Each Friday, I post a select group of 5 rock 45's that sold on Ebay recently

along with the corresponding video so you can judge for yourself if the buyer got a good deal.

The Seeds No Escape EP $350.00

From the Auction:

Megarare original French 66 garage psych EP by US band the Seeds (+ Sky Saxon on the sleeve). Look at the sleeve-pics for tracklisting. Superb stuff and fantastic pic.

David Bowie with the Lower Third Can't Help Thinking About Me $239.00

From the Auction:

45 record by David Bowie with the Lower Third on Warner Bros. Records, 5815, "Can't Help Thinking About Me"/"And I Say to Myself".

Small Faces Tin Soldier $216.94

From the Auction:

SMALL FACES

A: Tin Soldier

B: I Feel Much Better

[IMMEDIATE, IM 062, NORWAY/DENMARK]

This is one of the RAREST Scandinavian picture sleeves by Small Faces. This sleeve very seldom turns up in decent condition, but the one up for grabs here is in absolutely jawdropping M- condition. Have a listen below! "Tin Soldier" is one of their best tunes ever in my opinion, heavy mod dancer. The sleeve is printed in Norway and the 45 is pressed in Denmark - this is the way it was sold when it was released.

The Damned Love Song $199.99

From the Auction:

DAMNED " LOVE SONG / NOISE NOISE NOISE, SUICIDE "

1979 CHISWICK sonopresse France original 7" ref 2 s 008 62986 // cover ex- no tear no writing no seamsplit ,light ringwear small crease top corner right, light wear on coners and here and there on spines, small original french price tag back on back, a bit above the average condition /// vinyl ex super clean , seems to have been played quite few or manipulated with care, very hard to notice hairlines under very strong light, plays absolutely perfect , for exemple, no tiny surface noises in the blanks between 2 tracks side 2 , plays perfect even on the intros, stunning ! definitively very above the average /// labels are mint, do not miss that great copy !!

The Downliners Sect Sing Sick Songs EP $189.99

Ruhstaller 1881 Red Ale

A lovely Sunny Afternoon out here on the left coast. Listening to some Kinks and sorting through the 7"ers for some Chiswick singles. Cracked open a bottle of Ruhstaller 1881 California Red Ale to help with the selection. Hmm - nice amber ale with a thick head and beautiful red color. Spice and Caramel lead the way with a nice dry finish. This is truly a "local" beer, using only hops and malt grown in Northern California - interesting concept and it's going well with the Brothers Davies.

Wow - the Kinks Schoolboys in Disgrace is an underrated treasure and Face to Face is a bonafide Classic - might have to rename the blog Red Red Wine On A Sunny Sunday Afternoon.

Here's Ruhstaller's website -----> Ruhstaller Brewery

AC/DC Can I Sit Next to You Girl $567.00

From the Auction:

AC/DC-CAN I SIT NEXT TO YOU GIRL/ROCKIN' IN THE PARLOUR
ALBERT PRODUCTIONS AP-10551
WOW!!!! THE RARE 1ST 45 FROM AC/DC CIRCA 1974. THE ONLY RECORD WITH ORIGINAL SINGER DAVE EVANS. I CAN'T FIND THIS ON ANY REISSUE LP OR CD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SUCH A THING CUZ THIS IS OUTTA MY PRIVATE COLLECTION & AM ONLY SELLING IT CUZ I NEED MONEY.

Sex Pistols Silly Thing $326.00

From the Auction:

Original and ultra rare 7’’ edition (made in PORTUGAL) of great punk band SEX PISTOLS with themes silly Thing and a great/ strange version of Anarchy in the

. This is a TOP opening Portuguese edition that makes it very rare and a real collector piece that anyone must have. Record is in great condition, sleeve unfortunately no, because has some wear in the front due to the age (you might see in the pictures) no pen marks.

Discharge / Off With Their Heads split (Ryan's Copy) $300.00

From the Auction:

This is my personal copy of the Discharge / Off With Their Heads split 7" test pressing. It is numbered 2 of 50, but the only one specifically designated to me from the label. It has a different cover than the actual release as well.

I normally wouldn't sell this, but I had to have surgery recently and am now in some pretty deep financial trouble. All of the money from this goes to paying that debt off.
