JR. WALKER AND THE ALL-STARS
Shotgun
1965 U.S. MONO pressing

Another great one that ALSO feels right for a Friday afternoon.

Quite simply one of the COOLEST sounding records ever.
Absolutely essential funky, soulful R&B rock.

The whole album is so great, but “Shotgun” is in a class all by itself. And to think it almost DIDN’T happen.

It was Jr. Walker’s first song as a vocalist, and it only happened because the singer that was hired to sing it at the recording session didn’t even show up!
Jr. stood in, and Berry Gordy liked it so much he kept it, much to the world’s benefit.

The song is ONE CHORD, and it’s one of the greatest tunes ever.

Today I was able to buy an exact reproduction? production? of a Corgi Batmobile toy I owned around 1965. I wonder what I would have thought back then of a toy from 1905. Toys generally are now for old people - the young have phones instead.

It seems to be a perfect replica from the UK - initially it felt too small but then I realised I’m bigger than the last time I saw one.

The shop says sales are frantic. #toy #batman #60s
