Be shaken. Be stirred. A whimsical wham-bam of exotic enchantments, sleazy oddities, pop fancies, and swingin’ slingers broadcast from Ridgewood, NYC’s very own Shangri-Lounge. Best served chilled, garnished with signature swizzle schtick.

Mo-dettes !!! So great & Fun. Have the original import vinyl (has it been reissued on a CD format ?) I’d love to get that. What version did you just find ?

It was actually just a cheapie 7" that I picked up. "Tonight" is the A side.

I visited Roosevelt Island (which is most certainly not a tropical island!) a long time ago, and I don’t remember the smallpox hospital at all. Fascinating.

Yeah, it's down on the far end. I guess there is currently some talk to turn it into a memorial for those who passed from Covid. I think it's still just talk, though.

A different article I saw, forget where, said the records are valued at around $250,000. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don Bolles and Noah better watch out - they DJ with obscure glam 45s, some of which they've spent 3 figures on.

I primarily use 45s at live sets. And, I've dropped more money than I should on a few. But, LOL at the mere thought of spending that much on a record.

Can't imagine anyone but Janis doing that one - she kinda owns it. But intriguing, now i'm curious.

Re Mo-dettes : Tonight 7” 45 ! 👍 released after the one & only “story so far” LP. (CD reissued back in 2008 w/ Extra 7”tracks). I found that Tonight 7”45 as well. Apparently Lee Hazlewood penned that tune.
The b-side “Waltz in B-Minor” is fun as well.
- I find the Swiss singer singing in English as a second language utterly charming.
