This Is The Modern World with Trouble
Pulling from the Greg Surek collection of over 90,000 7-inches, Pat Longo will share some of his fabulous finds with us, the WFMU listener. Greg was a collector and record dealer of the highest order. His focus was Vocal Groups / Doo Wop, and Northern Soul, but the collection is so much more. He seemed to be able to see the future, and purchased records outside of his listening, in all genres. Greg will be missed but his collection will live on and be appreciated by all. Tune in to This is the Modern World with Trouble from 9-noon.
