    Hey there John, have enjoyed your various blog outlets for some time...glad to see you digging into the secret history of 70's rock...long prized bit of teenage vinyl was the US 'Tiger Feet' 45, found at a local garage sale, age...15? Good luck trying to find that kind of stuff at your local Waxie Maxie's back then.

    Yeah, 'Dynamite'''s even better, but that vid for 'Tiger Feet' is too funny!

    So when are Phagz on 45 going to have a 70's Glam edition?
