thanks!

    Check out more of her other stuff. She has some great songs, IMO.

    keep an eye out for her version of 'Stormy' on TCA

    great great version - it doesn't have BEATS or anything like that, it's just super moody, with an awesome arrangement

    real rare too

    "They're German."

    Did I actually get them from you though? Damn, that was a while ago. I swear by them, other than the MATSMATS which I will use while DJing

    That's what I thought. I've never seen an LP by her.

    Word yeah both these were arranged by Dale O. Warren so they're extra tough.

    Along with "Let Me Down Easy", these are my two favorites from her:


    "You'll Never Change" (Atlantic, 1963)


    "Almost" (Karen, 1968)

    Forget the adapters: what's up with the drawers? Those Ikea joints adapted to hold 45s?

    Hahahhhhhhh... And yeah dude they're some Ikea joints but I forget the name of them. Kind of like you choose components or some shit like that. Just got it as a real quick and cheap temporary solution and ended up sticking with it cause it works really well, It MAY me called Inreda but I'm not 100% about that.
