I'd Buy That For A Dollar

Matt Dorbin aka The Doctor joins us for our Halloween episode where we spin the debut album by French singer Claudine Longet, who passed away earlier this year at age 84. Once an American household name through her marriage to Andy Williams and television appearances, Claudine's career abruptly came to a halt in the mid-1970s following an incident which looms large over her light, breezy pop records.  If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content (episodes on 45s!), or tell a friend about us.

Co-host Peter takes us on a journey into the psychedelic sounds of Country Joe and the Fish.

We continue our "in memoriam" theme for the opening of season 8 with ZZ Top, who lost drummer Frank Beard in 2026 and bassist Dusty Hill in 2021.

With season 8 and episode 300 just around the corner, we have decided to travel back to where it all began: Jimmie Spheeris. We revisit the first episode of the podcast, which aired in fall 2019. We travel back to that distant time when the world was a different place, full of fantastical album covers and majick folksingers.   If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content (episodes on 45s!), or tell a friend about us.
