As a record-collector of long-standing, I have schlepped my way through a plentitude of rummage sales, garage sales, swap meets, record meets, charity shops and “we-buy-junk-we-sell-antiques” stores. <\/p>\nAs a record-collector of long-standing, I have schlepped my way through a plentitude of rummage sales, garage sales, swap meets, record meets, charity shops and “we-buy-junk-we-sell-antiques” stores. <\/p>\n
In one such establishment, I did come across a copy of the version of “Little Lulu” by Helen Carroll and the Satisfiers on RCA Victor. Unfortunately, the record was in pieces, and I could not be sure that all the pieces were present and accounted for. So, I filed the information away in the old knowledge-box, in case I ever ran across another copy of the 78 rpm disc. <\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, the thought struck me to check out a well-known website unto which many old recordings of all kinds have been uploaded. I checked–and, sure enough, not only was “Little Lulu” there, but other cuts by Helen Carroll and the Satisfiers. Apparently, there had been a CD reissue of the group’s material, which reissue had somehow escaped our ken. <\/p>\n
Later that night, I got an expected call from a good friend, whom we may call “Chuckles”. I remembered to tell him of what I had found, and we bade each other goodnight in due course. <\/p>\n
