Any blog-fans/followers here ?

Through recent years i've been enriched with great info and sometimes rare or behind-the-scene photos of artists.

New interesting blogs keep popping up. Sometimes created by music-collectors who bumped into a rare find.

Last week i bumped into this blog-story :

........................................................................................................................................................

Artist : Sunrise Ltd.
Track : Our Love Will Grow [ MP3 ]
Label : Pizzazz 1980
From the "Until My Love Returns" LP

"...So the story goes…For about 3 months I was steadily pursuing a dude who had a warehouse that no one had been in for years. I was amped when we were finally invited to come survey the madness. It was a hot Texas Summer night and the warehouse didn’t have any A/C. Who cares, right? We were allowed to dig for a little over an hour and a half leaving with some nice things, including The Meters – ‘Struttin’. We all overpaid for the records in hopes of securing another appointment. A few weeks went by and we were once again invited to come back to the warehouse. I was pulling crazy things out of these u-haul boxes, which were stacked 3 to 4 high and in multiple rows. It was awfully intimidating having so much to look through with so little time allowed. Inevitably, the time came when we had to leave due to ol’ dude’s high blood pressure and dizziness. This is where the deal went sour…Instead of just naming a price we were asked to make an offer. Apparently, this was some sort of test, I guess, because we were told we would have to come to the shop later that week in order to discuss pricing. This made us all super mad, but we continued to roll with the punches. I was the first to hit him up that week, on Wednesday, and was told that the records we picked out were not for sale and that we would not be welcome back to the warehouse. WHAT??? I won’t go into details…but it was a considerable disappointment to us all and eventually, I gave up hope. Months went by and I started going back to dude’s shop in hopes of salvaging some sort of rapport with the man. I never mentioned the records again so I could at least shop at his store. Well, wouldn’t you know on my third or fourth visit, fate stepped in and I yielded this record that I had found in the warehouse months back. I promptly approached the register and paid $15 and was out… told em’ my name - peace!..."
