Hmm.. I don't think so. There are a few great online turntable supply stores though, with hundreds of different needles in stock. Needle Doctor is one fo the best - and Amazon has a lot to choose from, too.

I have been on the hunt for Fleetwood Mac's 7" singles: Over My Head/I'm So Afraid, Say You Love Me/Monday Morning, and Love In Store/Can't Go Back. I've tried Amazon, GEMM, eBay, and Discogs without any luck I'm mostly looking for the picture sleeves.
Anyone know of some other online stores? Or if those singles even come with the picture sleeves?

I think it's just going to take time, but eventually these things will turn up on eBay.

I'm planning on collecting the Tango 12" singles, but haven't started yet.

Very true, those are the last three I need. I have all the BN era 7" singles (US releases only).

You're interested in the Tango 12" singles? I saw some NM or M- copies of Family Man on Discogs the other day.
Here's the link, if you're interested: http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?rel...=1318802&ev=rb

Remember those days of Crazy Eddie if you lived in NYC and the tri-state area.


You can buy FM Mirage for $5.99.

I always enjoyed Fat Albert Saturday mornings years ago.

I have some earlier Fat Albert stuff and it's pretty cool. I remember reading someplace about who all actually made the recordings and wrote the songs and they had genuine cred! It looks like maybe they discoed it up for that later LP though, I'd be a bit nervous about that.

The Banana Splits LP has some cool r&b type stuff with Barry White involved. I used to lust over that vintage LP until they put out a more affordable CD collection with lots of extras (same with the original Josie & The Pussycats LP). Oh yeah, and the Groovie Goolies and Catanooga Cats LPs are other five stars out of fivers if you're into the quality saturday morning bubblegum pop beloved of readers of Scram. Happiness is finding a new rare LP with cartoons on the sleeve?
