Record Store Day today. Punted on jazz and grabbed #alllmanbrothers #Bigbrother and #thebyrds

A new acquisition, Bo Diddley, 1955-1958. Hip-O-Select in its short life released many good titles.

My newest Russian figure acquisition, a Ukrainian Molfar, painted by #Atticaminiatures

Some west coast jazz from Bud Shank and Lou Levy, on Nocturne.
