Ian - It is a misprint, or maybe the band changed their name. The band is actually called Plato and the Philosophers.They were a garage band from Moberly, MO. Fairyland was a mid-Missouri label.Plato had a song ("CM I love you") that was a regional hit in Michigan, I think?

wasn't there a Back from the Grave-style compilation of Missouri garage rock that came out in the '90s? I remember playing it at KCOU but can't remember the name of the comp.

it wouldn't surprise me. there are tons and tons of regional comps of that nature--was it a volume of "high in the mid-60s" or something?

Probably the one I finally found for dirt cheap on Ebay : Sylvian/Sakamoto "Bamboo Music/Bamboo Houses"

usually give up when ever there are big boxes of 45's
a lot of times I just make 'em an offer on the whole damn box

Wish I could find this 45 by Beaver and the Trappers, it is my Holy Grail,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc2wEg91WhA
― *tera, Sunday, 27 May 2012 02:10 (eleven years ago) link
I've got three small boxes of them, maybe 150-200 in total. A few that are probably a little rare: the Cramps' "Drug Train," the Germs' "Forming," Sid Vicious's "C'mon Everybody," Husker Du's "Statues," Half Japanese's "Calling All Girls" (nine songs!), some early Black Flag and Angry Samoans. If I had to save one from a fire, I'd probably grab "Drug Train."

When I was a kid I would buy cutout 45s, five in a plastic bag so you could only see the outer two. I ended up with everything from Buddah records bubblegum to jazz (I had Ella Fitzgerald doing “Mack The Knife” live in Berlin.)
I loved the crap out of this one. It had a Part A and Part B to fit the whole 7+ minutes on one 45. Me being "progressive" when I was about 11.

after DJing last week with a friend who has a lot of cool 45s, I now want to get more 45s
― dmr, Friday, 6 July 2012 16:26 (eleven years ago) link
i should have posted this on here:
Ry Cooper aka Rusty Evans - "1983" (futuristic garage folk rock from 1965 with killer snarl/guitar and theremin!)
that was dumb of me. nobody cares about cool music on ilm. and amateurist is insane.
― scott seward, Friday, 6 July 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
that's great, i want a copy!
― one dis leads to another (ian), Friday, 6 July 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
i'm selling some 45s for a guy i know and that was one of them. i definitely want it. i was just gonna put everything of his online but then i play stuff and fall in love...
he had all these wlp 60's 45s and i was just gonna make up a price off of the top of my head and buy them but i had no idea what some of them were worth. so, since i like the guy, i told him i would put them up on ebay and we're gonna split the proceeds. fun stuff to go through. cool soul and garage 45s. teen pop. stuff i never see.
― scott seward, Friday, 6 July 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
man, that sounds like a lot of fun!
― one dis leads to another (ian), Friday, 6 July 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
it's the kind of work i like doing! and we will both benefit. it will be fun to see europe and asia duke it out for some of these.

sweet. I have one of the answer records on 78.

Great question, fun answers. I have been collecting 45s since I was a tot and my granddad had a jukebox. Have to go through my stash, we always had a habit of grabbing the "weird" ones in my family.
I liked creepy oldies the best:
