Was in a thrift store the other day and for some inexplicable reason (at the time) looked at a copy of "Will the Wolf Survive" even though I've had a copy forever.
Went to slide the inner back in (LP was ruined) and it wouldn't go. Look inside and there's a single. Slide it out and it is manna from heaven - the LAST
(but possibly first single from) 45 I needed by my favorite (there's that word...) band. One I've been looking for... a LONG time.
Put it back in the LP, buy the LP (with single as put out) for $1.19.
Get home, go to throw the tattered generic 45 sleeve out, but luckily LOOK at the other side and... bonus points indeed.
I am one grateful/lucky MF!
Just to be a total geek - here's a photo of Los Lobos' other private press single from 1981:

Nice! What a talented band.
I'm a really big fan of David Hildago's guitar playing and tone. A few weeks ago I picked up a Leo Kottke album (My Father's Face) with David adding guitar and vocals... great stuff.

the j would be GONE in short order but not the 45!
i got a copy of ray pizzi's "concepcion" on pablo with a note from him to the people he gave it to. so much for sentimental value.

Cool! Love those kinds of accidents. Los Lobos is on of my favorites as well, so I'm envious of your find. I'll have to search youtube, etc. I don't recall hearing their cover of Under the Boardwalk. Great song. I have the Drifters & RLJ versions on vinyl, but it would be great to have LL's, even without autographs! Good for you.Jim

Fantastic version with David's voice sweet as honey, joyful, clear and inspired.
With accordion yet. Nice recording.
Volver, Volver with Cesar on vocals. High energy and a completely different
take than their other versions. Beautiful and fun.
Would digitize and post somewhere but don't have the capability/technology.
Surprised they haven't yet re-released these on CD.
Maybe on the next box set?!? We can hope.
Kiko 20th Anniversary release this week!!!!!!

way too mellow blotter acid.
Good catch.
Very cool!
Thrift stores are like a box of chocolates...
Sweet...
I've still got "Kiko" on my must haves list.

That is a fantastic find! In fact amazing at that price. I once found a Vogue picture disc inside a run of the mill rock LP jacket but to find a FAVORITE piece(s) with signatures on color vinyl takes the whole cake for sure!
;^)
Nice find! It's tiresome to slide records out of sleeves.... but you never know what's in there until you look.
