Real world commitments have kept me from fully being engaged with the blog this month, but I interrupt my hiatus with a bonus posting and a vinyl gem from my personal collection - Gene Shaw's first and exquisite side on Argo! This is such a subtle and graceful rekkid that it truly deserves the title of 'Argo Cadet Classic' and an honored place on this blog... Excellent fidelity off the original Argo mono deep groove vinyl.

Get it
