365 Days #13 - Service Station Sal - The Tubeless Tire Swing (mp3s)

MP3:
1 The Tubeless Tire Swing - Side 1 (2:16)
2 The Tubeless Tire Swing - Side 2 (2:16)

Service Station Sal knows what you like, what you want, and how to... give it to you. I'm guessing this promotional record is over fifty years old.  The Old Codger gave it to me when I visited him a few years ago in his musty apartment in New Jersey.  He threw this record in the trash and grumbled "this ain't music!".

a TWO (!!!) color catalog! no freakin way!

If I'm not mistaken DJ Shadow used a sample of this on his PREEMPTIVE STRIKE release.

DJ Shadow (aka Josh Davis)has called his music a homage to "mostly forgotten music" which is obviously something the 365 Crew also does. Service Station Sal is probably rolling in his grave. Thanks for the music.

more likely its on Shadows *private press* album / Strike was just a straightforward singles comp

a five inch 78? Never even seen such a thing. I have Jimmy Swaggert's What the Bible Says About Drugs which is a 16 RPM recording - had to buy a completely different record player just to listen to it.

Oh wait, I have a colored Popeye 78 that's a five inch - I think I just assumed it was a seven inch.

[Sambo]

correct. -Service Station Sal is sampled on **What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 2)** on DJ Shadow's Preemptive album

After the announcer says "Display 'em big!"
I thought "sal" was going to shoot back, "Mmm I like 'em big!"

Actually, it looks as if just a touch over forty years old - BFG introduced tubeless tires in 1957, and it mentions that they've been making them for "seven years", which means 1964...
