RECORDS WANTED

Joe is always on the lookout for records by local artists. There are certainly many singles and albums that he does not yet have in his collection. And there are certainly many more that he is not aware of.

Following are a few items Joe is searching for. Most of these are confirmed releases, others may only be rumored to have been released and he would like to verify. For example, one such rumor was from a newspaper ad that a rock group called "2838" released an album. After several years of searching Joe finally spoke with a musician who lived in the band house at the time (2838 was their street address) who confirmed the album was never released. This solved one of many mysteries (thanks Dave!).
