Hit up this cool warehouse / garage type spot on the Oregon Coast today with Rubbishvisual and Twoply. They found way better records than I did, so hopefully they'll post their comeups here. I finded:Paul Hardcastle "Rainforest" LP sealedBee Gees "Trafalgar" x 2Mahavishnu Orchestra with "Planetary Citizen" (2nd copy)Hollies "Bus Stop" (2nd copy)Jan Hammer "Oh Yeah?"Janne Schaffer "Earmeal"Crosby Stills Nash & Young "So Far"The least raer record of the lot (CSNY) ends up being the best. I've been listening to them all my life but never got around to picking up any of their records until today. "Wooden Ships" has been in heavy rotation in my head for a minute.

Also got a couple of cool CDs. One is a Kurtis Blow history of Rap with a bunch of funky pre-rap songs (James Brown, Isleys, Booker T etc.). A really nice best of Timmy Thomas' TK records stuff 72-81. An Afrojazzfunk CD that alternates French? & US bands (Seven Seas, 13th Floor, Ju-Par Orch. are the US ones) A Dev Large & KZA??? mix of funky stuff from Prestige/Fantasy, I think it's Japanese so I have to dust off my katakana skills, but it looks like Blackbyrds (Burakkubaazu), Cal Tjader (Karu.Jieida), Side Effect etc. etc.
Also got a Kodak digital camera yesterday (finally), am too lazy to put pics up at the moment (seriously, be afraid, there's no stopping the oversized stupid pictures of useless stuff from now on).
Finally might have a lead on a petrol tank for a motorbike I am restoring, about freakin' time, I had no idea it would be so hard to get one, the tank is a damaged one but hopefully good enough to get a fibreglass mold taken from.

Received ^this^ in a package w/ some other MPB LPs in the mail, LOVin it!!... this was the perfect[/b] Sunday morning music. Kind of similar style to Joao Gilberto prime era ca. his 'White album' but Toquinho has sick chops like Baden and a voice not unlike Vinicius, except the fact that Toquinho sounds like an actual technical singer (i never particularly felt like VInicius should be singing, but i digress)
Package also included Nascimento CLube Da Esquina 2, complete with original stickers. surprised that this is almost as good as CdE part 1!

Plus about 90 more 1977-1983 era disco/hiphop twelves from the collection of "The Woodshed" Club in Wilmington, NC, which kept their records in tip-top condition. Not a bad catch.
all i saw was that Dramatics LP you put back, wasn't really grillin all like that.
i saw your pic in the other finds thread- are all those from the flea???? I'll be mad if that Clifford Thornton is from him!!! i'm knowing nothing about no Blues Magoos though...heat? i'm terrible about looking thru rock crates anymore
OH, and i think the 'son' is more appropriate for you, that is what that older lady you were with was calling you, wasn't it?
and yeah, that was my mom. she likes to go to flea markets more than i do
well post up your flea finds... i gotta make it out there more often, dude's got some decent stuff, i hadn't been out there in a looong time. peace,
coppin' that heat together eh? that's pretty dope.
Some very nice L.A Funk.
Amoeba/Rasputin's @ Berkeley:
(some doubles, triples & quintuples in there)
eBay:
NZ funky rock type record with 2 minutes+ of blazing hotness on 'the laws must change'
Obsucurish oz jazz joint on 44
one cut on here, forget the title, is great - the best I've heard from ms durbin whose LP's are usually pap..
Nice composition.
Is the "Sho is Funky" one of the double/triples?
I might have a nice Blue Note joint to swap for that one.
Damn you Lucero - i have been looking for that headband LP for a minute.
What's that track like? Breaks? Funk?
I'm not much into jazz, but that Joe Marrillo is real nice and
That LP has two covers that I know of, the one pictured with the black print and a blue and red print (same image just color print).
Mr. Marillo is still around and has released other LPs, too.
they're not open, but its a long workout
This Don Crawford record is pretty cool, it was in the "Folk" section, and is pretty much a folk LP, but the back cover thanks all the musicians on it as a whole, including Ron Carter, Cornell Dupree, Chuck Rainey, Eric Gale, Billy Cobham, etc...nice soulful folk with strong instrumentation...
oh well, can't blame a guy for asking...
