More secret loves.....

Sandy Nelson records, in the "Teen Beat" style.

Started coming across these at the various flea markets that exist in the more rural and suburban areas of central Virginia in the late 90's. Usually a buck will get you in the door to owning your very own Sandy Nelson record. I'm not saying the music contained within is jaw dropping or anything, because believe me when I tell you that most certainly is NOT the case. Having said so I should add that Mr Nelsons drumming is top notch though for the style. He played on a lot of session recordings, some of which were for Jan and Dean, Phil Spector and Kim Fowley. There is just something charming about the simplicity of the tracks; the recording techniques, the aural encapsulation and bare bones basics of all things early 60's teen party music, SoCal style that is.
Any way, I likes.
