I think it was about 1965 when my family left a Chinese restaurant call "The Pagoda" to go home, and we went into a little market next door, and my Dad grabbed a handful of 45's nobody wanted for probably 25 cents apiece, and one of them was this single call "Rib Tips" that was recorded by Rufus Gore and His Orchestra on the "King" label.
The flip side was called "Big Ends," but "Rib Tips" was the song I dug the most.
Then in 1973 I met these two girls named Cricket and Squirrel, and one of them had a boyfriend who was in a band. I played him this song, and he liked it so much, he borrowed my 45, but he never returned it.
In the 90's I found a copy for sale on eBay, so I snatched it right up, but when it came in the mail, it turned out I wasn't paying attention and it was a 78.
I bought a cheap little Crosley record player just so I could listen to it, and later I made myself an mp3, and now I have that 78 version for sale on Discogs.
All for this..........
