    Today, all from the same spot:



    I knew something was up when the usual store had suddenly expanded the
    New Arrivals section from 2 bins to 5[/b]! Still, my jaw dropped when
    I pulled the Sons of Truth. Such an amazing album, this made my week.
    I-Roy is some deep sounds.

    Thrift store stuff, all $.75 each:



    Feelin' the Dollar Brand on Inner City hiiden upper left -
    cheapo organ LP has some raw Cortez tracks


    Throughout the past week:




    Cher LP has a killer version of "Walk on Gilded Splinters!"
    Jackie Wilson album is real nice - some 1968 proto-disco on "Helpless"
    Voices of East Harlem is an awesome album, so soulful and definitely funky -
    just need the 3rd one now to complete the set.
    Johnny Lytle was sitting in a local spot for a while now, unplayed copy for
    $20 - I kept picking it up and leaving it behind, but this time I wised up
    and grabbed it while it was still there - I am really feelin Johnny Lytle
    albums lately ... he just has such a great sound. I need more more more,
    these albums make my day everytime.



    Coverless and pretty much rinked, but still sounded so sweet coming
    out of my speakers. That real schitt.

    Damn, dudes! I prefer you call it "******'s" ok??

    Sons of Truth is prolly only VG/VG but plays great all the way through
    and was around $12
    Willie D is real nice and was 15
    Eddie D & BBS is also only VG/VG visually but plays perfect and was 10

    I think alot of these records are from W***e's collection, since
    while R*b was away, he was working the used section and was bringing
    in boxes of well-used but playable heat from his own stash, sold me
    some out of the boxes and I assume saved some better stuff for when R*b
    got back from tour. Or maybe not.

    I also got my first discount ever from A**n! WOW!!

    why all the secret squirrell about cheapos ? its well known and been around forever....not much to be had there cept for the occasional new arrival come up...as you see by this post, shits been raped for all the heavy shit...i did manage to get exit 9 straight up og for $10 recently !
    after over 20 years of shopping there, i was kicked out by the asshole owner with the glasses for the most ridiculous shit ever. Meanwhile used shops are of a dying breed...youd think hed want to make some $$
    and sell some of the records that have been sitting there since 1982. Soon it will be Extincto's !!!

    I met DJ NevilleC this morning and we went to a flea market/antiques fair where there are some record sellers.
    While dude was looking the brazilian stuff, I looked in a box full of OG jazz and found these records (didn't listen to them yet):

    Sam Rivers: Hues (ABC/Impulse - 1975)
    Cal Tjader's Latin kick (Fantasy blue vinyl)
    Pharoah Sanders: Village of the Pharoahs
    Ronnie Foster: Two headed freap
    Monty Alexander: Rass! (USA edition)

    NevilleC got crazy when he saw Rass!, cos' this is a long time want of him.

    But dude got some luck too; I passed on an Atilla Zoller's Saba record, and a Prestige record he said is a holly grail (can't remember the names). Dude bought both.

    And NevilleC gave me two EPs: Kidgusto's Basscomb express (Soulstrut represents!) and Ed Royal & DJ Enne's Gift of funk.


    This was a lucky day for me & NevilleC.



    Peace

    why all the secret squirrell about cheapos ?

    I think we were kidding around, it's kind of a running joke.

    not much to be had there cept for the occasional new arrival come up...

    Isn't that true of most stores? I score heat at Cheapo's constantly -
    like your Exit 9 score, that's not unusual, it's pretty much business
    as usual if you go there often enough.

    A lot of people at the flea and only about ten crates, elbow to elbow digging sucks, at least I hit a good crate at the beginning because everything was well picked over as I made my way to other crates people had already dug through.. Not a bad day, but some stuff that looked to be in better condition, played rough. What up with people who pull 100 records only to buy 15 of them, so annoying. Anyways:


    Willie Rosario
    New Swing Sextet is that latin heat!
    I like The Hobbits record much more than I thought I would.
    Cool Livin' is a x-ian record with some fuzzed out tracks, dude's voice is pretty bad.
    FB Worster "God Don't Make Junk" is obviously private press gospel folk out of NJ. I really like this record, not too preachy, and its that Mama's organic granola food bin whatever stuff I think the west coasters would be into.

    The 45s are mainly punk/hardcroe but there is a Jerry Butler, a Tommy Hunt & a Jimmy Riley there as well. The Hard Ons 7" had a couple of live photos of the band inside the sleeve.

    Hit a couple of dusty spots with Nrich and found a few things.....I think he did a little bit better than I did......old guy in the Comic Shop wouldn't sell us s few things......nothing incredible but one was called Mingo on Columbia from '76....anyone know anything about it??

    I'm curious about that Best of Band X album. Is that actually a compilation of earlier albums of theirs or was that their only album up to that point?

  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    That Metros LP is a tough pull - I kinda regret selling
    the sealed one I found at a yard sale a few years ago, since
    I haven't ever seen it since.

    How is the Bullet for Pretty Boy OST??
    There's a copy around me that I've been on the fence about
    for a minute, it looks interesting but also sems like it
    could be a Bonnie & Clyde rip-off banjo fest...

    Metros was in a pile of 4 for $5.00 records.

    The Bullet LP is kinda interesting.....side one is by a band called The Source and they do Byrds-like folk rock with 2 nice cuts. The flip is all instrumental cuts by Harley Hatcher....typical B-Movie slop with alot of percussion.

    Mingo on Columbia from '76

    Mingo played for or was involved with James Brown. Funky record, but not face melting or raer.

    I got Cross Bronx Expressway 45s and Spontaneous Overthrow. String Beat in the mail. A cold lampin' emoticon is needed.

    I check this site at least once a day...sometimes I feel guilty not posting very often but I must admit I'm mostly interested in seeing what you people are turning up...love these finds (and rare record) threads! Proof positive that nothing's "drying up" if you're out there looking. Some good ones for me this week:
