Rock-O-Rama Vol. 2

This week I want to highlight a very cool compilation album that I recently discovered. Rock-O-Rama Vol. 2 from 1972 is full of seldom heard gems by seldom heard groups. This comp. has hits by Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, The Orlons, ? & the Mysterians, The Dovells and Zacherly. I don’t really understand why the two John Zacherly songs are on here but I do love novelty songs and Dinner with Drac is great. One thing is for sure, whoever put this comp together for Abkco had interesting taste in music.

Solarquest

Our “Pick” this week is another fun vintage board game. Solarquest is a space-age real estate game from 1986. Why play monopoly and settle for Atlantic City when you can buy up the entire solar system? Survive the perils of space travel and build the greatest financial empire.

Regatta

With the summer season getting shorter and shorter I thought I would highlight a fun and interesting game with a summertime theme. It’s Regatta a sailing game made by 3M back in 1967. The object of the game is to race around the island course of your choosing while dealing with winds and your competitors. This is a well thought out game with cool metal pieces that will delight any sailing enthusiast.
