Tags Matching: Dragnet

I’m surprised that this eBay user name, vinyl, isnt taken by someone that posts here. In any case Mr. Vinyl, has almost 3000 auctions and 3/4′s of them are for records so head over and do some virtual ‘diggin in the crates’.

I picked this record to post because it was on my ‘want list’ for a long time until I finally picked it up at a collectible toy/comic/pop culture crap show a few years back. My dad was a big fan of Dragnet when it was originally on and when it came on ‘Nick At Night’ in reruns we would watch it together and I got way into it. Being into music and records I went on a quest to find the album that Jack Webb put out. He doesnt exactly sing, its more of him talking over music in that flat Joe Friday kind of way. I guess you could compare this to the 1970′s William Shatner or Leonard Nemoy records.
