remember that huge haul in redhook when we were riding through that industrial area??
crazyness.
PS I got a sealed Jaynetts LP. Did they come sealed? It is legit, but wondering if bagged later.
What do you want to know? In my opinion, anything he touched 66-75 has a 95% chance of being boom whether it's straight calypso
or hybrid calypso funk of which he was likely the premiere arrager/writer.

Though he's not credited, I believe this is his.

How do you know CLive's work, Jazoist? Canadian Racer Comp?

Edit: Lord Nelson. Was he produced by Bradley ? Anyeay, I was hunting secretly for this stuff, but I gave up. Would like to mount some of his best. Anybody who can forward some ?
Where are you from? I think there might be something lost in the translation adn maybe that's why people thing you're condescending.
Myself, I'm too laid back to let words seriously affect my state of being.
There's not too many dudes out there more into to Clive's stuff more than myself (other than a couple hard core 50-ish calypso collectors). Why don't you think Soulstrut is casual? You asked about a musician and I was more than willing to spill my guts on what little I know. If you hang around, like I have for 6 odd years now, I'm sure you'll be humbled by the genrosity of my pals.

Ok, I'm a Western Europeaner. I often think anything that is rare and nice is not being mentioned on soulstrut. And I think that some of the best music has to be preserved carefully. Not just for a gig with a DJ or for sampling, but for anyone that wants to listen to it. For music like library and latin/caribbean it's impossible to get to know the best records without spending a fortune and hunting records for years.
I really appreciate your effort, Clive Bradley is one of the artists I just think it would be nice to hear more often. Wether it's me or somebody else that collects and spins the records, it would not affect my state of being. I thought you were going to play hide and seek, sorry. I feel a bit irritated about people never shedding a light on anything I find exciting to hear. I have to get over that, I think I did so in the last hours. I'm having a good mood again. I'll have another look at these rare finds of yours, they're quite nice. I'm also a bit jealous about the fact that in the US there's more into record stores than over here in Amsterdam.
There is a balance for me in that I am a seller digging in areas where knowledge is often not readily available, so knowing how a record sounds early can be to your advantage (in obtaining further copies for sale at cheap prices). I remember buying Frankie Zhivago Young's and Earth Roots and Water's for $30- by the handful, and now those are $800 45's and a $2-300 LP respectively. You asked me about a specific artist which I'm extremely interested in, so I felt obligated to answer.
Easy, K.
P.S. I live in Toronto and not the States.
I have 2 over-the-shoulder bags which can hold about a 100 records comfortably. Not the most enjoyable long distance ride with them full, but I've had to grunt it out on more than a few occasions. Anything else superhuge I usually get van/cab and dismantle the bike for transit.
