    I went to two thrift stores today and found

    1. Morbidly obese mouthbreather hovering over paperbacks
    2. It's pollen season and VG- classical record dust makes my allergies worse
    3. I would actually save money by ceasing to waste my time at local thrifts and instead using my time doing actual work and putting my earnings to use on eBay, high prices or not

    Yeah, I think in 2006 this is true for anyone making more than $10 an hour...

    Weekday finds:

    1200 records for $400; dude was working in a 'streetwear' shop and selling his mom's collection cause he was moving. You can't stop the profit.

    Was away over easter, so this is really what I have procured over the last week & a half. A couple of record fairs & some soulstrut set sales helped my cause also. A few upgrades & some holes filled in my collection.

    Now the LPs, spot the 3 re-issues




    I sure hope those early Andrae Crouch LPs are better than his later stuff, probably not though. That Marion Montgomery is cool female vocal jazz with top notch jazz players backing her.

    Choreo - Choreo Blues - Anyone know anything about this 45?? Cool jazzy

    I got a cover of Scorpio on the label. It's definitely a Hoctor/Orion/Statler type dance instruction label. Listend to a bunch on the label and 99% lack funky blackman soul sensibilities.

    John Gibbs w/the Jam Band-J'ouvert 12" TEC Records 1979

    FEELIN IT!

    But am I the only person who thinks that Poussez album is garbage?

    I've got some earlier John Gibbs releases (we're talking about the steel band discofunk guy right?) but never heard of this one... TEC is pretty hit or miss though

    I dig me soome Pou-ssez though!

    I wanna hear the story on that D&D guy with the beard though upskiboo!!

    Mary Watkins-Winds Of Change-PAJ 1981 (great live jazz record)

    Would this be lesbian pianist Mary Watkins who also released "Something Moving" on Olivia Recs?

  • G_BalliandoG_Balliando 3,916 Posts
    went to denver record expo with $18 and did alright i guess, talked everybody down, didn't even pay full price for my dollar joints.


    Copped that late 70s Kool & the Gang "Funky Stuff" anthology with the subway art on the cover.

    Copped that Willie Mitchell "On Top" joint

    Copped Paul Desmond "From the Hot Afternoon" (some brazillian a&m shit)

    Copped some female 75 Girls shit from the 80s, like "The Real Freaky Tales" and some other shit.

    Copped 2 Live Crew "Shake a Lil' Somethin"


    slightly weak and mildly exciting. record expo's are kinda stinky sometimes. and record dealers are schmucks sometimes. but it was aight. more liek a trip to the store than anything else really.

    Yup...Linda Tillery is listed as "the emcee"....lots of female jazz players on it too...some tracks have a larger ensemble

    FEELIN IT!

    The Poussez! LP is alright...pretty standard disco.
    But yeah, the John Gibbs has some pretty great percussion stuff going on.

    4th songs second side is where it's at.



    French/English folk. CBC sponsored.









    Cat Stevens cover. Fairly straight cover save for the accentuated bass and hard backbeat.



    Also got acopy of this (my camera is out of batteries)



    ohh and a copy of High Fashion Dub (Studio 1) and an unsleeved I Roy album "Cancer" OG Ja Gorgon press from '79. Sounds like the Revelutionaires.

    K in canada.

    Upski, you in Turkey right now? I was feeling stingy about recommendations, but I can help you out. I have some Turkish wants as well.
    Holleur via PM.
    Peace

    I think it was Dreskiboogie who was asking for the Turkish recommendations. He is in Turkey now, or going soon.

    Ah, thanks, dance instruction makes sense, definitely not funky blackman soul but pretty ok on an instrumental jazz vibe.

    I was a bit let down by this one - great artist on a great label
    (latest release I remember seeing on Duke, from 1972) but just
    not up to the usual quality. Still, not bad - you decide for yourself:

    Jo Ann Garrett - Sting Me Baby - Duke 1972






    This was an amazing eBay score - 99 cents!![/b] not buy-it-now,
    a 7 day auction that nobody else even bothered to bid on. Such a dope
    single - Square Room is a cool 3 1/2 minute edit of the 9+
    minute psych epic on their $200 Tower 1st post-Van-Morrison LP
    "Now & Them" - But It's Alright is a 45-only fuzzed-out
    cover of J.J. Jackson's monster crossover soul hit!!

    Check 'em:

    Them - Square Room - Tower 1967

    Them - But It's Alright - Tower 1967





    Manfred Mann was a longtime white whale, an LP that I kept
    expecting to find forever but never turned up. Finally caught
    a nice clean copy and this album has some fantastic tracks.
    I just uploaded the whole thing to Real Headz so check it out
    for yourself.
    Jean Wells was more than just a white whale, it was a mission.
    I almost pulled the trigger on the suspect graded $100+ copy on
    the Bay a few times, but held out and got this one (also from the
    Bay) for less than half that - and it's clean as a mother.
    This one's going up in Real Headz tonight, too, so get your
    download on. Shit, F***_R***z might even download this one!

    Soul on Ice- nice ones! Yeah that Jo Ann Garrett 45 isn't my fave but it's alright. Speaking of her I got my white whale in the mail today - Jo Ann Garrett - "just a taste". And a copy of Carla Thomas "love means" too.

  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    Actually, Jo Ann Garrett is my neighbor's sister, and
    she needs that album. Just send it on to me and I'll
    hook her up with it. I'll kick you a handful of Aesop's
    Fables 45's for the good look
