Mexican food...it's a must. Ninfa's on Navigation is some of the best I've ever had. Though if you're a large person good luck using the bathrooms there. As for BBQ I'm a big fan of Goode & Co. on Kirby Dr. Cafeteria style w/ beers on …

Couldn't believe my luck...I took a blind chance at last Sunday's local flea on If You Really Wanta Make It/Change by Family Circle and was totally feelin' it (need that Al Green graemlin). A few days later I'm up in the Boston 'burbs on business a…

I'm eternally grateful to the guy at Sounds of The Universe in London who recommended this to me--an eye-poppingly good mix that I'm still enjoying 6 years down the road. Many thanks to the folks here at SS who figured out a partial tracklist. …

Just had the same thing happen with my post...

Highlights from this morning's flea market: Attached files

btw, i wish that platters track was on 45.. Big cosign on that... Not sure what I enjoyed more, that Fantastics tune or the accompanying video...nice change of pace from the typical record spinning or still photos.

Really digging the Little Ben & Living Us tunes and "Soul Sister," but anyway... First thing the COD's track reminds me of is Mary Wells' "You Beat Me To The Punch." Other tunes these remind me of, sound/vibe-wise: Barbara Mason "…

Pickins have been kinda slim at my flea market the last couple weeks...these are the 45 highlights from April so far. Best pulls were the Joe Bataan (Under the Street Lamp is GREAT) and the Larks (very good 2-sider), The Brothers is rare gospel/mod…

I recently passed on the Dave Pike for $10 and later regretted it, because for the most part what I sampled sounded pretty cool (plus that was a pretty good price). I checked it out because it has a very cool looking, very 60s cover. It was the fi…

Am I the only one who was expecting this thread to be about the Philly soul group? Anyway when I saw this part: trains from there are packed with typically Long Island meat-head I couldn't help thinking of this: Comedy Centra…

Damn this 3 attachment thing...shoulda done group shots. Anyway I really like this Elmore James...I've heard a bunch of his stuff but never this tune...very raw and powerful. I come across tons of Marvelettes 45s (seems like more than most Motown …

I don't know much about latin stuff but I took a chance on a few outta the 50 cent box. The Roberto Roena is awesome, and the flip is a great cover of Dock of The Bay. Makes me want more stuff like it. Rocky Roberts I never heard of but with a pi…

And the 45s... A guy had a big box of 'em for 50 cents apiece, which is a prime risk taking opportunity. I got the Festivals from this guy not knowing what to expect, got home and played it and quickly realized it was one of my best flea market s…

Highlights from yesterday morning's flea market. Since there's been no winter they moved opening day up 3 weeks, but it was under 30 degrees and very dark at 7am thanks to the time change. I was impressed at the turnout of dealers and shoppers--fo…

Gotta give it up for Blue Hill at Stone Barns. It's pretentious to the max (Pocantico Hills? It's Tarrytown, dudes) but had my wedding rehearsal dinner there last May and I was sufficiently blown away. Beautiful pastoral setting (something you wo…

These are from the last month or two. I didn't know much post-Mayfield Stairsteps but their production is fantastic on this album. The Jay & Techniques I worried about being lots of filler but I'm impressed with the quality/consistency of the …

Everything here except Lou Courtney came from the same source as the first photo. I must admit to passing by the Unifics album once or twice in the past, probably because I saw a lot of covers on the track list, but man am I glad I stopped sleeping…

Picked up some nice stuff yesterday that inspired me to finally take some photos & post. I enjoy these threads because even though I usually don't know 90% of what's pictured it trains my eyes to look out for things I might otherwise pass by. …

It all starts with love of music for me, and nostalgia is a big part of it since it's what my dad played when I was a kid. Big cosign on a few points others have made above: 1) It's the best format--the ritual involved, the intimacy, the a…

Not old skool but almost nothing reminds me of the Meters more than these guys: Not especially "hard hitting" but they really have the Meters' sound DOWN.
-
Bob, Thank you for the reply...the other day I eventually figured out who they were by using Google image search and turning up that same EP cover. Just been traveling a lot for work + down with the flu last weekend + this thread has been me…

Name: Phil Place: Bethel, CT How old is you? 31 How did you get here? Trying to figure out a few songs on Soul Boulders 2. Sentimental Records: Please Please Me, all my dad's hand-me-downs esp. Hot Rod Lincoln on 45, So…

OK...another one that's mystified me for awhile. Thinking Of My Baby/Coffee Grinder by Earl Daye & Sensations on Daye Records. Label has that homemade/private press look with a South Norwalk, CT address. The A-side isn't spectacular with voca…
-
Maybe this is googleable but I don't know Russian and can't read the Cyrillic letters. All I know is that it's on the Soviet state-owned label, Melodiya. Not my usual sort of thing but for $1 I bought it for the cover alone. The song I've posted …
-
The last two photos...and I forgot to include a sweet NM- copy of Otis Blue in there too. Also--it seems nobody on these forums talks about the O'Jays' Back On Top album. Am I the only one who thinks it's like brings-tears-to-your-eyes good? The …

OK--looks like this thread has come alive! Lots of good comments here, I can't even begin to quote them so I'll try to address all the opinions given... What TheKindCromang wrote was probably the sort of reply I originally expected to get wi…

Humanacat--thanks for being the only one to reply so far. As for New England as a hunting ground--in my opinion it's better than everyone might think but definitely not as good as I'd like. I'm really impressed sometimes at what I come across at m…
-
I'm almost giddy... Just figured out what the "Too Much" song is, FINALLY. I won't share it here since clearly you guys want to keep it secret, but it was eBay that came through in the end. The lyrics must not be catalogued anywhere and the…
