Proud Frankie
FOUND by Mike in Savannah, GA
I got this record at the local flea market. I bought it from someone who definitely wasn't Frankie's parents. I researched this "Frankie" and found out that it probably is Franky Bandy, who actually started this "TearDrop" Records in Chicago.

What's the music like?

And how could any mom or dad part with their offspring's creation? Even if they died, how did this family treasure end up in the donations and discards pile?

I'm sorry, but once I noticed that, um, object protuding from underneath Hip Linkchain's seat, I can't look at anything else in the picture.

You wanna find this album in a library, you gotta be makin' tracks to either the Library of Congress or to the University of Mississippi. Least ways, they's the only ones admitting to havin' it in a national database we calls "WorldCat."

Here's what you call your play list from this 1982 album: Somebody stole my mule ; Don't your peaches look mellow ; Going down slow ; Blow wind blow ; I don't know (Hip Linkchain) -- Find myself ; Floating bridge ; Dorcie bell ; Cold chills ; Rock me baby (Jimmy Rogers).

Just in case you be lookin' for some bluesy' tunes.

(Linkchain, by the way, released at least 4 other albums between 1981--1987; Jimmy Rogers may have been on a lot of blues albums, but with a more common-counding name I wouldn't swear he's the same guy.)

What a great find!and with Librarians info even better! They have huge flea markets every week where I live and I always think it's so sad when you find super personal stuff like this..and I wonder what happened..I buy old old pictures of families cus I think that was treasured at one time.

Anyone else think these three songs back to back sound rather sexual? Don't your peaches look mellow, Going down slow, Blow wind blow.

Dude was just horny.

So archetypal that it reads like a spoof: Hip. Linkchain. Performing "Stickshift." A-huhhn-huhhnn-hunnnh.
