back on the internet after a long weekend in NYC (9 Pages of unread threads, jeeez)
Had the good fortune to visit Jonny Payczech at Good Records NYC, picked up a couple of things I wanted, left a lot of things behind that I would have loved to get:
The_Man??? multitasking while he hosts visitors to his shop:
All in all, it was a quality retail experience, there's a bench in the front of the store for my mother-in-law to nap on. My wife liked it too, but she was dissapointed that there weren't bins for 45s.
Other than records, there's plenty to do in NYC, here's the view from the apartment we were staying in:
bought too many records this weekend... missed buena and that makes me sad but its okay.
johnnie taylor - wanted one soul singer (stax)
this has got to be one of the realest Soul records ever. seriously. the production is superb with some great music. johnnie is unstoppable when hes belting the tunes here. ill vocal version of watermelon man, aint that loving you has a dope beat as well as sixteen tons. i could NOT be happier with a record. the perfect amount of funky tunes, soul, and ballads. this is a MUST HAVE for any soul fan. without it, your collection is ass.

That perry como picture disc is real nice, I gotta start going to thrifts over in jersey. Anyone know any spots in jersey city?, I've got a friend over there who I visit sometimes but we haven't had a chance to go digging over there.
Anyway on to my finds... Drove back to upstate NY for turkey day and hit up an antique store on 17 that I've never stopped at. I've driven past it atleast 30 times and always laughed at their billboards ("possibly the best store EVER.")

here's a dumb little dude question but how do you tell the OG "Death Rap" from the reissue? I'm guessing if I see it it's a reissue but just wondering.
look at the letter "a"
the big one is the OG
you sure it's not the other way around? Mine has the same lettering as the big picture you posted but I find it hard to believe mine's O.G. What about the one-sided/two-sided stuff?

big fan of the flea market !
I bet the above stated flea markets weren't[/b] in Atlantic City.
Had the good fortune to visit Jonny Payczech at Good Records NYC, picked up a couple of things I wanted, left a lot of things behind that I would have loved to get.
As did I (another Tom from Cali). Good Records NYC had a great selection, and a nice vibe. If I had the cash, I could have easily dropped +$600 on records that I need. And strutters outside of NY, do not worry, JP ain't condescending in person. I took a few pics also, but it could be a while before I scan them.
Some Jersey/PA/NYC digs (all thrift, flea market, except for Good Records purchase):
Off the dome: Gilberto Gil - Volkswagen Blues (Good Records) Pookah - s/t (Good Records) Soulstrut - Breakbeat Raer Ep (Good Records) Electroglide in Blue OST - double Strafe - Set it off 12" Debbie Deb - Lookout Weekend 12" Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce ... with a QJ "You've got it bad girl" record inside ??? Astrud Gilberto - Beach Samba Digital Underground - Humpty Dance 12" Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick 12" +20 other 80's hiphop and electro 12"s from a donated DJ collection 2 vintage & mint 45 cases for .75 each
The biggest score of all was a great and relaxing vacation to the Northeast. Thanks to the NYC folks who made my trip worthwhile.
atlantic city is devoid of records...I don't know why but it's true..unless you're holding out on me bellcity1. I had already told you about the extra secret spot. You will have to go the grave with that knowledge!
