John Yam
Artist: John YamLP: 7" single
Song: "Our Love Is Over"
[ listen ]
A few blocks up Massachusetts Avenue from Cheapo Records is Weirdo Records, where I found lots of great used vinyl at good prices—including this groovy 1971 John Yam 4-track EP from Singapore. They have a little listening station where you can sample the records before buying them, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. I wasn't keeping track at the time, but I think she gave me a bit of a discount. Thanks!
Between Cheapo and Weirdo, I'd used up my entire record-shopping day and found more records than I could comfortably carry, afford, or fit into a suitcase. (My checked bag was so heavy I had to pay JetBlue $50 just to load it onto the plane. They must have had to hire a bodybuilder.) My web search turned up more neat-looking record stores in Boston and Cambridge that I didn't get to, so I'll have to go back soon.
