Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope the new week finds you all well.<\/p>\n

The record you see before you is yet another testament to the idea that playing the long game, i.e. waiting until the time is right to strike, is essential to bagging the white whales that haunt the record collector’s soul.<\/p>\n

Ike and Tina Turner\u2019s<\/strong> version of \u2018Dust My Broom\u2019 (first recorded by Robert Johnson<\/strong> in 1937 – though with earlier roots than that<\/em> – but popularized by Elmore James<\/strong> in 1952) is a very popular 45 on the Northern Soul and mod scenes, and as a result the competition for copies is often fierce. While at its hottest it\u2019s not crazy expensive (running between 60 and 100 dollars), copies get snapped up quickly.<\/p>\n

So, I held off for a long time, hoping that I\u2019d find myself a copy in the \u201creal world\u201d (y\u2019know, outside in the sun, where record hounds fear to tread), but this strategy bore no fruit.<\/p>\n

Then, one day it pops up on Ebay, looking a little rough, graded a little low, but I knew (and trusted) the seller, so I put in my bid, sat back and waited to be outbid yet again.<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise when the auction ended – with yours truly as the winner \u2013 leaving me with what the kids (I don’t know what kids, but humor me…) call an eight-dollar-hollar*!<\/p>\n

Eight lowly, wrinkled smackeroos. Ain\u2019t that a bitch?<\/em><\/p>\n

Ike and Tina\u2019s 1966 version of \u2018Dust My Broom\u2019 dispenses with the age-old tempo\/structure (just imagine that famous Elmore James guitar vamp) rebuilding the tune on an aggressive 4\/4 frame, with Tina and the Ikettes<\/strong> trading lines while the band (including, believe it or not, what sounds like an electric harpsichord!) charging hard behind them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to understand how this became such a popular dance floor record, even if it met with almost complete
\ncommercial indifference when it was released.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
