ladyday

Little dude first time weekend finds post, but I'm stoked because these were all FREE.

parsec

nice minty copy in the shrink on Yew
also - Salazar "make it as easy as 123" 12 inch
and the Entourage Music & Theatre Ensemble "the neptune collection" on Folkways

shitzr

early morning garage sale action:

house #1

$1 each, and the kid was charging $5 for commodores records and $10 for star wars soundtrack.

house #2



this right here has got to be the most effed up music i've heard in recent years. here's a review from amazon: "On Philosophy, the teenaged sisters' delirious, playfully constructed music has everything you least expect: loopy polyrhythms that follow no external law, off-kilter singing conducted in unison that sounds like the hit parade broadcast from Jupiter, and bizarre, elementary-school guitar playing. Best enjoyed in small doses, this enchanting, accidental music approximates the highly personal charms of so-called "outsider" visual art. To paraphrase a saccharine song of yore, the Shaggs' music is very beautiful--in its own way."

house #3


yesterday's thrift shop action:

thrift #1

afrocentric free jazz out of berkeley.

thrift #2

nice xian psych/folk on the mark label.

thrift #3

this is definitely a for sure! it's got everything from bossa, spacy moog grooves, to straight ahead jazz. my cut has got to be "muddy footprints".

and i made a stop in the barrio to pick this up from some vato for $10 sealed

karlophone

early morning garage sale action:

Shaggs at a garage sale!!! Well, it is the '80 Rounder pressing, which still turns up like... never!! Impressive...

Rockadelic

This is a mega-rare Christian LP with some garage/fuzz cuts and some dark folky cuts with a couple sounding like a stripped down AZITIS. I have only seen this one other time when I found a copy in the 90's in St. Louis.....anyone else ever find this LP??

tuneup

for FREE (had to move a ton of records to get at them...)

SESSOMATTO 12"
RISCO CONNECTIONS "AIN'T NO STOPPIN US NOW"
BULLITT OST
KATHRYN MOSES w/ "READY OR NOT"


a good day indeed!!

queequeg

Found a few boxes of 45s at a town wide sale here in Pa. Town wide sales usually suck with just a lot of used baby clothes and an old lady with a jar of marbles but this one was alright. No Cali sales where people are putting out Shaggs and great jazz but digging has never been easy in central Pa. Keep telling myself that someday polka and Tennessee Ernie Ford stuff is going to be so in demand and I will be buying NBA franchises when they do


Left is some deep early gospel soul (60?). Right is actually a sorting out some piles around the house forgot about you find by Mr. Opel. Can't find anything on this one. Raer? K in Canada know a thing?

Hey rockabilly. Anybody else dig this stuff? These two are just OK. Not the real Charlie Feathers shit which are straight

Two tougher releases by two legends. Always in demand on the soul circuit.

Left sounds like Chicago cover of Motown hit. Right is nice arranged white girl soul that actually sounds something like something off Pet Sounds

Never heard this Ike&Tina cut and it is rock solid. I can't not dance to The Breakdown. I can't do it.

Don't know much about Sons of Nature. Good funk out of Maryland. Any demand?

Got 5 copies if anyone wants it of this Moments 45 which is a must for late 70s soul people. Did this get a 12 release? Folkways are true library scores out of a local high school- step up your Dewey Decimal game

Finally two ebay wins come knocking. King Nando is boss.

Local spot soul digs and finally snagged a copy of Fred Wesley off ebay. Listening to Candi Staton at the moment...i'm feeling this one. I was amazed at the Lenny Williams as well.

Yeah, that Lenny Williams is pretty good. I put a song from there on my Soulstrut mix many moons ago. That record was produced by Eugene McDaniels as well.

i was pleasantly surprised with the backcover credits as well.

SoulOnIce

Couple eBay things from over the week, and a few local items from the past couple days:



Funny - haven't seen that 5 Americans in years, but I get in a conversation
about it on Soul Strut and a mint promo turns up in my regular spot
the next day...that shit kinda almost freaks me out...
Bobo is fire...Lucien is a little noisy but nice grown & sexy sounds...
the Byron Lee is really dope, "Shoo-Be-Doo" is my jam...Supremes is UK OG,
J.J. Jackson was sealed, "Indian Thing" is total facemelt - Boyce & Hart
is cool heavily produced beatlesque pop, Silver Apples was an ebay splurge
when my paypal acct got loaded up, beautiful unplayed vinyl with the poster
like word...John Stewart is Waxidermy singer songwriter $1 bin score of the week



greasy R&B instro with some of the fattest sounding horns and bass evar




Very early Smokey Robinson effort with crazy surreal lyrics. Birth of Motown.

ariel_calmer

Jesus, I had better get out there, because apparently new jazz titles are $1 and franticdiagnosis is running a hefty $2.

Wife and I went for a stroll in "real florida," aka a nature preserve, out of earshot of people, autos, and everything man-made. Started raining, and after it was done, out of nowhere, all the frogs started chirping at once. heavy shit.

troubleman

I walked over 40 blocks this weekend checking out thrifts and garage sales and found one single record.

The Spinners - I'll Be Around repress 12"
(yall mess w/these 45 rpm Atlantic repress 12"s much?)

I've always been curious about those, but they're expensive and no shops around here carry them.

How's the sound quality? Does it have those light, thin, fragile grooves you see on a lot of UK presses?

holmes

It's been pretty quiet on the record front this week. I'm waiting on a couple things to arrive in the post from a seemingly sheisty OZ dealer (not impressed). Anyways, all I got was the Del Jones re-ish from Rockadelic. AND AMAZINGLY A NEW GIRLFRIEND (shocking I know, after the crash & burn that my marriage ended in). I'm pretty surprised about the whole thing to say the least. I guess I'll just see what happens.

SoulOnIce

"girlfriend" listed in a weekend finds post.

I'm not sure if this represents an apex or nadir for soul strut.

is she cute? VG++?
