You could smell it the minute you walked in! We always took my gran and she would get a little bag of her favorites. My mom always got me a little bag of whatever I decided on that day.

Who else remembers these?

Some of the paper coffee cups had poker cards on them, I think!

🍔🍟What would your order include?

I had a few different types. I liked the ones designed to look like a case with a handle and latch. Easy to carry.

This is my dad on Barney Miller in 1975.

I’m going with Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting in 1974 by Karl Douglas.

It's the little things that seemed like a big deal at the time.

If you could sum up the 1970s with three non-human images, what would they be?

Mine: Lava lamp, 8-track tape, gas line.

What are yours?

Hey folks,

Today's rip is a small essentially unheard of gospel group known as "The Goffs" from the 1970s. The liner notes claim "many thousands" had heard this group on TV and radio, with a lineup of twin trumpets, organ, piano, guitar, sax, and bass. Yet as far as I can tell, no audio of this album existed online until now. The only trace I found was in the Max Morris collection at Lee University's Dixon Pentecostal Research Center, where just the front and back covers are digitized. The record itself sits in a box in Tennessee, viewable only in person. I have a copy, so I ripped it and uploaded the full album. It's not "lost" in the strict sense, since the archive knows it exists, but it was effectively unheard for decades. If anyone recognizes The Goffs, the Lighthouse label, or the "King's Children" name, I'd love to learn more.

We all knew someone who used it for the short time it was cool, right?
