Thats not a reggae record!
Good (but common) small label American release, licensed to Pama I suppose...
You're right and I imagine there may be some other non-reggae sides hiding in the pile. Great track though.
The Gi Gi is a boot of a US record by the same name. "Dance Beat" is likely King Stitt - Clancy Eccles production if I remember correctly.

John Hurt looked pretty trashed and plays pretty trashed
Amazing record, though. His voice and playing are so strong on this.
Gilberto Gil looked clean and plays trashed
no scratches that I can see, so maybe a scrub will fix things,
but I was pulling my hair as it skipped at some point on every track
and it is such a nice mellow twiddlestick album, it's not fair, I tell you!
Word. Snatched this long time want the day it was sold to the spot. Cover is
a wash, but the vinyl plays tres nicely. The same guy that sold it to the store
had also sold the Hendrix/Youngblood sessions LP on Maple/All Platinum. I already have the material
(although the Maple one has by far the best cover), but holding it and looking at the Maple
logo on the cover all I could think about was the Lee Moses LP.
I even thought for a second "this LP...the Curtis Knight...does he have a Lee Moses back there?" but no dice.
This Curtis Knight record is the absolute shit.
Blows so many so-called psych rock records out the pond like BLAM.
Word - if you don't have it, you should get it for yourself.
has a folk sound, esp to the guitar playing, that you would definitely like.
Otherwise if you're offering to grab it for me, that would be awesome, thanks - let me know. It's a real quiet album, tho, so I only want to mint up to super clean.
I
Will pick it up for ya next time I'm there.
Peace
T.N.
IN 1989 I WAS RECORDING BOBBY BROWN SONGS OFF MY STEREO AND PLAYING THEM OVER AND OVER TO LEARN THE LYRICS.
NO ONE LIKES A MUMBLER
$400 for moder new age '82 pink sunrise
KILLIN IT!
Diana ross- Touch Me in The Morning
Love Unlimited Orchestra- Unlimited Gold
Rasa- All you See is Me
Mississippi John Hurt destroys and shits on all stupid Skull Snaps and garbage Eugene McDaniels bullshit anyday of the week. Thats right, I said it.
Anyhow there is this crazy Malcom X LP ( message to the grassroots) from 1970 that I am most curious about...cant find
any info, anyone know anything? The cover is falling apart but the label looks crazy, the printing is done with a rubber stamp. The record itself is in perfect condtion. It will go well with my beat to shit black panthers record
Here the good stuff:
Bitches Brew
Earth, Wind, Fire: Open Your Eyes ( early stuff, never seen it)
Minnie Riperton ( this ones going with me to the club tonight)
New Birth ( one I didnt have greenish cover)
Run DMC ( one of two hip hop records)
Mandrill: Beast of the East
Bobbi Hutcherson : Satin Doll
Alice Coltrain Pharoah Sanders : Journey in Satchindana(spelling?)
BT Express : Non Stop
Ohio Players : Rattleskin
Some of the covers were to beat to keep, but there was a whole stack of soul covers without records...So I will be posting these to the sleeve strut thread soon, anyhow here are a couple of winners I will in turn need the covers for:
Sweet Charles : For Sweet People
Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign : s/t
Donald Byrd : Caricatures
P Funk : Up for the Down Stroke
Creative Source : s/t
Leroy Hutson : closer to the source
Heads: Osibisa
Pretty stoked on most of these, cant wait to see what happens with the classical..anyone ever tried listing classical records before? it will be interesting..live and learn. There are still 50 or so soul records I havent gone through yet, but a lot of recognizable basics. I thought these were the best of the bunch.
temprees-lovemen
john sangster-paradise
and i bought this fuggin wierd spoken evangalist record called Countdown to Armageddon
CA Quintet "Trip Thru Hell" reish. Fuckin great album!!! West Coast psych w/ some seriously freaked moments.
Magic "Magic" (Rare Earth)...this one is decent. Some white boy funk and then some post-CSNY type tunes.
A super clean copy of "Solar Heat" off the Bay. Lovin it.
Some cheap soul records and a $2 copy of Joan Baez' first on Vanguard. It's been a decent week!!
Is that the one about the 1970s? I'd say it's Waxidermiable.
You must not like overhyped mediocre rekkids.
Speaking of which if you have Skull Snaps, PLAESE TO SEND.
2) You can't even afford Skull Snaps.
3) You mad because you can't even afford Skull Snaps.
Scored this for my roomate...
He freaked when I came home with this! He's got a huge tatoo of Evel riding a horse on his back. On that note I would consider him a true fan...had to get it for him.
1. Not mad at all, just funnin poptart.
2. I could afford 50 copies, put I don't overpay for tepid turds like you do.
3. You mad that (your parents) money can't buy taste?
