FORTY-FIVE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE #21: Crone Street Challenge

JONATHAN EDWARDS  “Sunshine” b/w “Emma” (Capricorn Records #C-8021, 1971)

“A pretty prime cut,” it says, etched in some unknown stranger’s messy handwriting on the inner groove of this imported 7-inch.  I’d have to wholeheartedly agree, given the 3 great tracks to which we’re being treated on this week’s edition of 45 RPM.  International raconteur and talk-show host Declan MacManus needs no introduction, so let’s just dive right in, […]
