At least I was supposed to be working.
I would tack onto the weekend thread, but
that shit just got out of hand. Let's start fresh.
Amen Corner is actually a weekend find -
pretty good 1967 UK mod LP, soul covers
in a Small Faces vein, with a couple psychish trax, too
Salloom & Steve Colt records were sealed store stock @ Chea*o's -
I didn't know Salloom & Sinclair had another LP on
Cadet Concept besides the "Mother Bear" one!
Backing band is the Area Code 615 crew.
Finally minted up my Fat Mattress, and despite the wack cover,
5 Americans is pretty good garage pop/R&B.
Kim Fowley helmed this whacky project of a "mystery band"
doing covers of Beatles songs and Stax classics in a "heavy " style. Unfortunately, the vocalist (and often uninspired playing)
kind of kill the whole thing. Still, the cover of
the Bar Kay's "Grab This Thing" is sick,
and the Kim Fowley written original that ends the LP is on point.
The awesome Rick Griffin cover makes it worth buying alone.
My score of the day, by far:
Pretty damn sweet!!!
Record is mint in the shrinkwrap, except for one thing -
which dropped the price down a ton -
and is one of the weirdest vinyl sights
that I have seen in a minute:
Look at how much of the outside edge is neatly cut away!
What's awesome is that it is dead wax only,
you can cue both sides with out a pop or missing a thing -
and despite the flashbulb effect showing all
the dust, this thing is otherwise mint! Jeah!!
My cat wondering what kind of
nerd takes pictures of his records...

A SoulOnIce finds post is never complete without pictures. So glad you got a camera man!
WELCOME TO THE [/b]
Can't say that I miss trolling eBay for photos of the records in my hand!
D**w, do you have that Younghearts LP?
Not that one, just "Do You Have The Time" (
"to listen to me whine")Which I really love.
I will be on the lookout!
ive seen some wax with those weird side lips. makes it easy to catch the record at the right part if you measure it up right
Keep an eye on
Actually, I'm listening to it right now, and I really like it,
more than I expected. The playing on it is excellent,
loud bass & drums and nice guitar, and his voice is pretty legit.
I like these "folk/soul" records when they are done right and
the singer has chops. Apparently he was in a Boston soul/garage band called
"Steve Colt & the Colt 45's" before making this LP.
Can do without the "Whole World In His Hands" track though...
You need to get one of these....
Great cover version. Looks like the only LP done by the Underground Allstars as is there.
- Kalypso Keith and a few others calypso records ( I know calypso records like I know to speak mandarin)
- "Cuando o carnaval chegar". A brazilian soundtrack by Nara Leao, Chico Buarque and Maria Bethania.
-Prisoner is some private press prision hard rock/folk schitt recorded inside Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, CA. POKORA.
Drugs, Crime and Redemption:
Can't really find anything about this one- has some good sounds.
Yesterday and today =
SONIC
(Makossa pressing but missing a cover
and more.
Plus I got this dope Polish get down
They also had a copy of Lonnie Smith's "Drives", Young Holt's "Oh Girl" and a bunch of other stuff I left behind. If anyone's interested they should check out SolSounds on Pico in LA.
same here, got this record yesterday.
also:
that blue path is sweet, as is the hot rock! nice. (im not qualified to comment on the rest so ill keep my yap shut)
I had that happen once - a brand new store with fresh, unpicked stock...I was running for an ATM...
Nice finds. Shoulda bought Drives over Move Your Hand though, hommie.
Nah, they've been open for a minute, I just don't think many people have hit it up yet. I know Yuichi has been through there, but that's about it.
There's still some "basic" records I'm missing so I just wait until I catch them out there. I haven't been digging at all in a while though so this was cool for me. I only hit them up while I was out there. Dudes are reasonable with the prices too.
I'd say it was a good Wednesday!
and these without jackets:
Slave - Just A Touch
Farley Jackmaster Funk - funkin with the drums again
Mighty Tom Cats - Soul Makossa
Twilight 22 - Siberian Nights 12"
Indeep - Last Night a DJ Saved My Life 12" w/ the DJ goodies on the b-side
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me 12"
K in Canada.
A lot of marginal/medium raers trickling in but this is a recent standout.Private hippie/acoustic/psych jazz with a cover of Ornette's "Lonely Woman".
these were all real world finds* at my local spot in BK. It was funny too, cause I was researching the Kitty Winter record I posted up the other day, and came across the Whole Darn Fam review here on SS, then found it yesterday. Dude charged me $15 for it. still in the plastic too.
*I'm kinda in agreement with Paycheck that I like to go out and get my hands dirty. I keep my ebaying to a minimum.
