RARER THAN A 1909-S V.D.B. LINCOLN CENTLast week Pete Smith wrote, "As I was looking for my Woodin material this week, I came across an interesting 45 RPM record. The title on one side is "Wayne's Mood," recorded by The Rockway's just over fifty years ago in November 1975. It is instrumental and described as garage rock. Smarty Pants question of the week: What song is on the other side?" -Editor Robert Van Ryzin writes: "Other side is "Our Love is Rarer Than a 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln Cent." It's also instrumental, if I remember right." 
Correct! Pablo Hoffman also submitted this answer. Pete provided the images of the record and label closeup. -Editor 
So the song came out originally in 1975, with an anniversary reissue in 1990. But there's more to the story. -Editor Bill Seldon writes: "I'm guessing, since this is would be coin-related, it would be "My 1909 S VDB is Rarer Than Our Love". "eBay has a promo copy of this for sale by the Rockways for $20, but it says it was recorded in 1980, so I could be wrong."

The detail-minded among us will note that the title is definitely different - "My 1909's V.D.B. is Rarer Than Our Love." -Editor Pete adds: "That's amusing. Now I have to collect those records by die variety." Cool discovery. Thanks, everyone. -Editor
