Just a bunch of random stuff I have accumulated over the past week:
Early disco mix jump off, has takes on "Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys" and "Life & Death in G.A." - and an awesome photo montage on the back cover of DJ's from around the world. Litter has a mix: some tracks are among the best early heavy metal ever, and some are so awful you'll wish for Vanilla Fudge. Bunch of crappy 45's, although the one on Date is the Glories and is real nice, quality soul. Speaking of, Soul Boulders is a heavyweight in the soul arena too. Don't sleep.
Not a lot of "sexy" stuff here but some fantastic music in some ugly covers. Haunted is a re-press of the uber-raer Montreal garage LP, with bonus cuts. Radio station refugee is John Cale & Terry Riley, the mindmelting Church of Anthrax, Seventh Wave is synth/prog I grabbed because it was on GRT from '74. It's all over the place, mostly pretty meh but with a few moments. Ugly-ass guitar cover comp is actually a collection of dope Mainstream label tracks, including funky shit from Jack Wilkins, David T. Walker, Jay Berliner, etc - mixed with Lightning Hopkins, Sonny Terry, & the Amboy Dukes! (talk about "cleaning out the vaults" ) Soul of the East looks like cheap exploito stuff, but is actually a great album of Armenian muscians, Buddy Sarkissian & His Mecca Four with Fred Elias, from near me (Lowell/Lawrence, MA) on a pretty legit label (Cameo, from 1965) - who apparently to this day are legends of the style. The entire album is charged and played with Eastern percussion accompanied by electric guitar. This is a menu from the nightclub/restaraunt they owned in Lawrence:
and this is them performing live:
Marti Shannon is a weird pop/folk LP with a few cool tracks. Gotta keep the OG country collection fresh - both mint promos. The Ernest Ranglin is growing on me. At first I found it too smooth, too "jazzy" and was bummed out - but certain tracks really work, and have been getting better with each listen. Check it out for yourself:
Last, and definitely least - can mofucks please STOP mailing albums in flattened USPS Priority mail boxes?? I know they free and all, but this is the bullshit that ensues:

I really like some of the tracks on "Ranglin Roots". Unfortunately my copy suffers from the JA syndrome. The vinyl goes snap-crackle-pop throughout a large part of it, including "Hail Count Ossie", which is a grrreat track. So thanks for the mp3, SOI.
The local goodwill had some nice disco/boogie 12"s in stock, 1 euro each:
Breeze - Just in the nick of time (Silverdollar records) Billy Always - Some kind of Love (V.S.) Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson - The bottle (Vintage Champagne records) Mr. Q - You Know it (Scorpio) Slim Williams - that's the one (Am Records) The Night People - Again (TSOB)

Yusef Lateef: Into something - a little boring melodies imo, other opinions?
I like this album, very nice versions of You've Changed and I'll Remember April and I dig the Rasheed track as well. Barry Harris does a nice job on the piano, especially on You've Changed.
It was a good week or so. Lots of goodies populating my mailbox. The roy ayers is uber ultra mint. Promo sticker and one-sheet inside the shrink? Strange, but it's legit, a friend of mine & I found a sealed copy last week and it was just the same.
I just logged off a quick waxidermy bbs pm check late last night, heading out of my parent's place after a visit, when my mom says one of her friends left something for me... a box of records....
A lot of great quebec spoken word..this woman's really liked dark or absurd/dada poetry as well as possesing a Quebec culture sentiment. I thought this random lot really all fit the 'waxidermy category'
Ntsuki is a native themed classic quebec story, Emile Nelligan is a famous young quebec poet known for the darkness of his writing (quebec's version of Rimbaud), la sagouine is a folktale and the man in the upper middle section is Yvon Deschamp a crude comedian I used to watch as a kid when he was in his 60's this record was from his youthful prime.
Another Deschamp 'les unions que l'on se donne' is a comedy record I am really happy to have doubles of (the psychrock intro track is every good), Must of you will recognize dadaist Ionesco, there is a Proust tribute album with haunting classical music set to represent his time period and some nationalist poetry record mixed one of the legends of quebecois chanson Felix Leclerc
PEACE AND LOVE - we got the power/latin feeling (raff) TINTA BLANCA - avandaro/virginia (philips) LA REVOLUVION DE EMILIANO ZAPATA - nasty sex/still don??t (not yet) (polydor)
Keep your eyes peeled for "Sad Eyes" by Mary Saxton on the same color Quality label. Worth a tonne in both muscin and money. She's from edmonton, too.
k.
Hey K thanks for the tip.
I keep an eye out for anything by mary saxton. Especially her stuff on Pace. Actually, anything on Pace is hot. My friend just sold the Mary Saxton on pace in April for $1G+
I've also been looking for the album she's featured on called "Direct From The Rainbow" (on the Pace label). it's got her on it, The Lords, and a bunch of other cool shit. All from this small restaurant in Edmonton that used to host gigs.
Brotherhood of Man - United We Stand There's A Whole Lalo Schifrin Going on Jan Davis - Flamenco Funk Barclay James Harvest - Once Again Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes Keef Hartley Band - The Time Is Near... Triumvirat - In Deepest Sympathy Hampton Hawes - Spanish Steps
Wow, some KILLER scores people! I had a real good week too...some of the more interesting ones:
Hotz is awesome prog private from Oklahoma City 1980...KayDennis is lounge from KC circa 1970--wonderful cover of Light My Fire with lots of bongos...groovy!
Doors NM OG in shrink
Serge OG
Top right is 16 year old female folk/solo guitar private from '77 central Illinois...vocal cuts are nice...
BDP "South Bronx/P Is Free 12"...three nice local 45s (one is an acetate by Bugsy Maugh when he was still in Omaha...killer soulful blues rock)...others are Bobby Williams on Tonorous (nice soul tune with great vocals--folk/rock on the other side) and The Enterprize on Doc's (Funky Soul/Garage)...Yugene Smith on Money Back (decent soul vocal/instro...nice instrumental intro to the vocal side)
I was on a hardcroe buzz this week it seems, replaced some worn out cassettes. Also now the entire Judge discog is on two nice pieces of colored vinyl, sweet. The 45s are Against Me - Sink Florida Sink, Jr Walker - Come See About Me & Lloyd Terrell - Bang Bang Lulu
MikeZero - that Muriel Anderson is a nice record, never seen anyone mention it before. Whats the record to the left of Electric Mud?
It's a small label jazz album from Cali called FOREFRONT "Incantation" from '73. Pretty straight sound to these ears but seems to go for a few bucks online...

Lovely Mahmoud Ahmed Ethiopian/LA record from a fellow strutter. Nice afro disco cut on here amongst other tings.
OG Canadian press.
Though Rockfort Rock is a great rhythm, I bought this for the Keith Wilson "God I God I Say" version flip (which is 75% of the vocal track anyway).
Tight JA band with Derrick Harriott on singing duties.
Great Sparrow LP on OG Trini NAtional label.
On Joint International.
German Soul/Funk LP.
K in Canada.
What's up with the Koola Lobitos? Is that an OG? Later reprint? Is that a King Sunny on the bottom right?
K.
Just sent you a PM regarding your query.

Some really soulful vocal arrangements by Mr. Marin
lite Cuban funk
i got photek ' the bleeps tune' 12" and the roots - live (volume two) lp.. nice bootleg
