Spent the weekend digging in the Netherlands whilst my girlfriend caught up with her family. Found some great stuff for next to nothing. I still think that Holland is the best place in Europe to go digging!Den HagueThis was my first real dig through The Hague???s record stores but it definitely won???t be my last. Average price on these records was 5 - 10 Euros:Opa ??? ST ??? Cool latin fusion LP that features Flora Purim on Vocals.Michael Stanley ??? ST ??? A couple of funky folky country numbers on here particularly Funky is the Drummer which features Paul Humphrey. ??? SpareAmerican Gypsy ??? ST ??? Absolute classic LP with so many good tunes inc Golden Ring, Inside Out and more. ??? SpareThe Rationals ??? ST ??? Cool psychy rock LP that has some funky interludes between tracks. ??? SpareSyrius ??? Devil???s Masqurade ??? Great funky Hungarian fusion.Thijs Van Leer ??? Love oh Love ??? Features a couple of funky breakbeat jazz tracks. ??? SpareBullet ??? The Hanged Man ??? Minty original for 5 Euros, yes please!! ??? SpareFela Kuti + Ginger Baker ??? Live ??? Ye Ye De Smell is my fav but the whole LP is funky afro biz. ??? SpareSegments of Time ??? ST ??? After someone put the track Song to the System on their mix cd I hunted down the 45 and now I???ve got the LP it comes from. Song to the System is probably on first listening still my fav but there are other cool funky soul tracks to check out.Johnny Hammond Smith ??? Soul Flowers ??? I never leave prestige stuff if its cheap enough and this is another goodie, The tracks NYPD and Dirty Apple have that funky Prestige sound.Brian Burd ??? Soul and Slow ??? Features the version of Fever, great break intro. ??? Spare.Next stop was Rotterdam where the following were purchased:Brenda Patterson ??? Like Good Wine ??? Bought this because it looked familiar, I???m sure I???ve seen it in OZ before but never got round to buying it. Funky vocals I???m hoping.Fausto Papetti ??? 11 Raccolta ??? Another guy whose LP???s are worth picking up cheap. Look out for his own compositions.Chris Williamson ??? Live Dream ??? This is on the lesbian label Olivia, another one that???s worth a punt if they???re cheap enough. Folk funkiness I???m hoping.Fela Kuti ??? Original Sufferhead ??? More Afro Funkiness.Blue Jays ??? Nascence ??? What do you Want from me Woman is One of the best funky rock tunes imo. Sampled by Nas I think. ??? SpareDavid Axelrod - Songs of Innocence ??? Not mint but listenable copy, now need to find Songs of Experience.Bollywood Soundtracks ??? Picked half a dozen from around a couple of hundred based solely on the funkiness of the sleeves, hope I got some goodies.Gun Master G9, Sannata, Kaala Patthar, Saahas, Nagin, Dhanwan, East Meets West.The following were from Demonfuzz. They didn???t cost me 10 Euros but were still bargains nevertheless.Byron Lee ??? Reggay Hot Cool and Easy ??? Great funky versions of Shaft and Hot Pants.Die Mellow Men ??? Live im Studio ??? No idea who these Germans are but they are uber funky. Anyone know this??Johnny Green and the Greenmen ??? When You???re Green your Clean ??? Funky band from Bermuda great version of GOMLW minus the break intro aswell as a couple of other funky numbers.Beat Rock and Blues ???

Opa is my shit! Uruguayan brothers Fattoruso were the core of the band. I celebrate their entire catalog (2 or 3 records, I think). These guys were part of Los Shakers in their youth.
You're a soft 4 for 6.
Yeah. His dad Tyree Glenn Sr. was a musician too. I think his dad recorded in the US. Glenn Jr went to Germany and recorded some dope live LPs at clubs in Germany. Some fantastic cover versions of US Funk and Jazz. That record is nice. But his early 80s releases are good too. His records are totally cheap at the moment. 2 Euros on eBay.de
All his records are on tiny labels. Probably "private pressings"
love that LP
Not sure if I understand, does that mean I got 4 good ones out of 6 or something else??
Peace
