Actually random stuff from the week......had a nice offer to check out some shelvesof old store stock 45's in the back room of a localspot. Nothing mind-melting or that would pay my rent for the month when flipped on the Bay, but somevery solid titles: Here's one for Pickwick33: Audio: Hank Ballard - Let's Go Streaking Pt.1 Not only hilarious, but a pretty dope lil' funk song, withsome crazy raw guitar...This one above is pretty dope - 1961 latin jazz by this NYC artistwho has some Northern grails on the vocal tip... Audio: Bobby Paris - Dark Continent Some LP's from various spots over the week:Lee Hazlewood raer, Clique has a weird "erratum" insert, Tyrone Daviswas a sealed OG...that Jerry Gonzalez album is really dope, the secondLP i've copped lately on the Ameican Clave label, and both were superb.Curious to know more about this late 70's-early 80's imprint......Wildweeds was a personal grail, and I copped it today from a pile ofrecords being priced on a local spot counter, along with the T. Rex...Mint Tyrannosaurus Rex 1968 UK OG LP's with inserts are not all that common in my neighborhood, so I was pretty psyched to find that. Did I mention the cover?

    Nope, from Re*d himself ... but there are doubles of
    a bunch of these still back there, like the Miz Davis, Bagdads (which is dope), Hank Ballard, etc
    ... as well as handfuls of unplayed stock copies of nice staples like Kool& Gang
    The Penguin and Raw Hamburgers and the Emperors Karate in Amy/Mala/Bell
    sleeves, etc. He wasn't coming super-cheap with them, but I had heavy
    credit from a massive CD purge I threw his way.

    Yeah, the funky side is nice, but I really liked this ballad, so
    I decided to give it a little shine

    LOL I expected that, just not so fast and not from someone posing as him!

    first 2 pix are a few random grabs here and there mixed with stuff from strut
    trades/buys that came in in the last few (thank you strut folk!!) the pics after
    that are all an estate sale find from 2 days ago, i already posted it in fridays
    lunchtime finds post but i am so stoked about this batch (cheapo estate sale lot
    price) i had to post it twice..


    been lookin for that rudy ray for SO long! The only comp-able (IMO) song on
    the wind in the willows is the one where Debbie Harry takes lead vox.

    took a loooong time to track down lou bond. anyone know if the titanic is the
    same as the green S/T one? this is a brazil press.

    everything below this point was in the estate lot:

    are you joking about table crumbs?? Nice scores man!

    got a couple in the mail last couple days:

    mike nock underground-between or beyond (german/aussie niceness)
    stefano torrossi-echoing america (not bad for free !)
    bilitis soundtrack (euro sndtrk niceness)
    augustus pablo-ital dub
    new times library-the rapture (french funk niceness)

    also been catching up on my common soul records, bought 6 temptations records in the last month none higher than 2 dollars.

    i like adding common shit to the equation, not everything has to be raer (and expensive). good music is good music, i think in this record game people get caught up in the value of the music rather than the music itself, which is unfortunate. at some point it starts being more a stamp collection than a music collection.

    da hell did you find this?!?! everytime I see it on the bay it does close to 200. I've always wondered what this was like. I like the Fourth Way stuff, especially the self-titled one. is it anything like that?

  • queequegqueequeg 65 Posts
    Picked up two nice circa 76 12s that I've always liked alot:

    I think this is a hard find no?

    Love that early disco sound.

  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts



    It's wild that this is a Kasenetz/Katz production -
    they're the "Super K" team that made millions from late 60's
    Bubblegum Music ... didn't know they made raer disco twelves...

    Has there been an Austin report back thread?

    Not too much this weekend, but that Watts Prophets has been on my list for a minute and it was nice to find it for a decent price. And, while I'm not really into loops and don't produce at all, the Griffith record does have quite a number of moments.

    wow thats so awesome you realized that!

  • drewnicedrewnice 5,465 Posts


    Throughly impressed with the Covay. Any suggestions for more records like this? Has a psychy-soul-blues feel. A great break too, that caught me off guard. House of Blue Lights?

    The James is a mint promo double, holler?

    That gospel record is a Patrick Adams production on P & P. Funky male group with some serious voices. Haven't given it a super close listen yet, thought.

    And Donuts sounds SO much better than the mp3s I had. Very happy to have this on wax.

    i recently took a chance on an ebay auction simply titled "600 soul 45s in detroit" with no list of artists/titles. the first few i looked at were absolute shit, mixed in with some common northern soul until i pulled...


    my biggest find yet, and the $50 price was right

    Soul Incorporated is worth in excess of 2K innit?

    it's an ok tune & all, but still...

    LOL I expected that, just not so fast and not from someone posing as him!

    And the tripped-out part is...I very nearly started to make that same post! I do own the skinny-dipping 45, never heard or seen the streaking single, and am wondering if the two records are the same song with the same backing track or something. I'll know when I rip the YSI at work...

    I had a great weekend!


    Aussie niceness and a few knocked off the list! Also a few lesser-known numbers here.


    Local scores, including that Madeline bell LP which I mentioned in another post. This record is really growing on me actually. Also my first folkways LP purchase! The Mancini soundtrack is also really nice, and the weird surf soundtrack in the top right corner has a killer chase-style funk number!


    Dennis The Fox froma a secret on-line location, and some local digs, a bit of Aussie surf psych niceness here.


    And some great trades, all from soulstrutters over the last week or so! No 'The_Mack' deals this time around.
