Hello all, happy to have you back for another installment of our Beat Guitar sounds! If you enjoy this mix be sure to check out Episode #031 which is another hour of fuzzed out, freaked out 45s. Today’s mix is a lot of late 50’s and early 60’s records and moves around quite a bit; you’ll hear doo wop, rockabilly, garage and proto-garage records and even a couple records that were flirting with novelty territory (and thankfully stayed away!). I always enjoy these podcasts where things get a little looser and even weird and hope you do too! If not, we’ll be back on track next week.

As always you can find me on instagram @musicalepisode posting 45s. I’m using facebook less and less these days. I’m also leaving the comments on these pages open even though it’s 95% spam.

Hope everyone is doing ok and you enjoy this hour of 45s!
