Nothing nobody's never seen, but in acquiring these I:
1) got in a car accident.
2) had to haggle with a twelve year old who chain smoked cowboy killers and kept insisting his "diddy's" poodles dressed in various period costumes were the best deal at the flea.
3) had to move four firearms (at least one of which I know is illegal in this country) and told "they might be live" to get to two crates.
4) digged through about 500 records while listening to three goats yell at me. For those of you who've never heard a goat...it's the worst sound...ever. Imagine three.
Not bad LPs this morning. I don't think anything needs explaining. The Roy Meriwether is South African pressing. Howard McGhee is original UK press. The Della Reese, didn't look too promising (On Strings Of Blue) but is actually very nice. Upright Citizens is BYO Hardcore from 85. The Wes Montgomery has nice Oliver Nelson arrangements, did that guy ever do anything wrong with his jazz output, I haven't heard any Nelson arrangements I dislike.

So please indulge me and take a look. Thanks
i didn't even get to the record pics, the story was much more interesting.
you must've been crazy to not shoot photos of these poodles dressed in period costumes. could you at least described the costumes?
out of curiousity, where do you live? this sounds eerily like a flea i once went to at 5AM on the top of this giant hill in alabama.

I was really kicking myself for not bringing the camera. I always say I'm going to. I live in NC, and this is honestly (minus the car wreck) a typical weekend looking for records. Seriously, this was tame...when you get out to the foothills...it's indescribable...I'd need Burroughs or Thompson to document it. I couldn't do it justice.
One poodle was dressed in obligatory Victorian, one had a leather/biker/stars n bars thing goin, one was a director or an artist?, I'm drawing blanks...there were a few more.

FUK THE RECS I WANT SOME CLOWN POODLE COSTUME PORTRAITURE
went to goodwill to buy some pants, inevitably stopped by the records. anyway, a few things i pulled out, i probably should have stayed longer and looked through all the bins.
rev isaac douglas on savoy - gospel stuff (was sealed) nothing too exciting. should give it another listen.
direkt to disk 7 - late 70s fusion jazz, wasn't this a marketing gimmick from audio-technica? also sealed, good times. side two gets kinda crazy with the sound effects.
jozef skrzek - dollarbincommon in europe probably, but pretty kitschy over here.
satchitananda - a thought away - private press spiritual jazz/fusion from late 70s with prog rock tendencies. cute. orson welles - radio broadcasts - i'm a big orson welles fan.
picked up a little dollar bin latino ua lp yesterday with freddie rodriguez called La Versatilidad De Freddie Rodriguez from 67, has some pretty cool tracks latin soul boogaloo steez!
-Dells "Give you baby a standing Ovation" a cheap lp that I already had but I almost forgot that it's pretty good. Produced by charles Stepney.... I've been listening to "Closer" but there's more good stuff and they're playing tracks from "what color is love".
and chi-lites, Marge Joseph, ruby winters "I will" and a few others.
A bunch of hip-hop (app. 60 12"s) and some other bits. Highlights:
Fela - Music Of Fela; Question Jam Answer (Makossa) Last Poets - Chastisement (Blue Thumb) Malcolm X - Talks to Young People (Douglas) TJ Swann - Maximus Party (Express)
Some psych/garage 45's...the one on LHI is dope...
Local spot (MOJO Records, one of the worst stores in town) is having a going out of business sale, everything half price. Managed to find some good stuff from a dead spot - the Alan Price is pretty good, and I'm sure anybody that has that Albert Collins LP will testify that is HOT DAMN FUNKY shit seriously sounds like an early Meters LP with heavy blues licks over it.. The Julie Budd record is pretty horrible, as it looks, but it had a couple of interesting covers...she does "People Are Strange" by the Doors, I was like "no way you can fuck that up" and as usual, records laugh at me as there was only ONE way to ruin a cover of that song...rearrange it as a ragtime composition, with clarinets and oompah oompah trombones...omg however, the dope jazzy cover of Black Is Black" made it worth the $1.25 invested. Zombies on BBC disc is essential.
Bob Ray came from the spot where I got the 45's. 5 Stairsteps was an eBay score, copped cheap cause it's a Canadian press (about which I could care less, although I do miss the dope Windy C label... Bottom is reissue of psych LP by Lost & Found from 1968 on International Artists that I got at the half-off sale, but was listening to when I took the first photo.
Also found an unplayable copy of this for the wall of the shop:
It would be cool if you glued this to the floor somewhere in a corner. Then you could sit back and watch the 45 nuts get all bent trying to pick it off the ground.
Soul on Ice, nice to hear you got something out of Mojo. A friend called the other day to say they saw the 50% off sign, but that wasn't enough to get me down there. I was 0-for-Mojo since I moved here in '02.
Haven't posted any finds in a while so here is the past week or so.
Not as good as his Folkways album but definitly a must have.
The stuff with Bolan on it is good but the rest is
This is on International Artists and with my first listen I was convinced that it was Rocky and the Elevators under a fake name. Further listens brought me to the conclusion that it's just a total rip-off band. Good record though!
I moved recently and when I got settled I tackled the great 45 organization. I came up in my own bins! Stuff I forgot I had and other stuff I just plain slept on. Recently re-discoverd 45s...
TAMS - Mary, Mary Row Your Boat IMMPRESSIONS - Too Slow OTIS CLAY - Show Place COASTERS - T'aint Nothin' To Me (I listen to this 10 times daily now and I don't see it stopping any time soon.) BOBBY BLAND - Ask Me Bout' Nothing But The Blues FANTASTIC JOHNNY C - Boogaloo Down Broadway SAPPHIRES - Who Do You Love
Didn???t know what to expect from the cake lp, but I'm really digging it. Title track on the Tommy James is . The smokey looks unplayed and replaces my vg copy. I love the entire lp, but "You only bulid me up..."is such a great song! Clean yusef and compost for a buck. Mosaic of the Orient is by Elias Rahbani and was my $2 gamble of the day. He is a Lebanese composer and this is his one of his "east meets west" lp's. The mix of traditional Middle Eastern instruments w/ guitar, drums, bass, organ & an oriental rhythm section makes for a very interesting listen. The Belladonna & Hysear are for trade. Pm me.

That sounds dope - I have this series of belly dancing records that were recorded late 60's-early 70's, and they have this awesome sound like The Chocolate Watchband jamming with authentic Arabic musicians...
