ha ha, cool, you must have the best Mechanical Servants collection around by now
It's been a slow week. My Visa card "found" this Vespa last week & I got a German press of The Searchers 'Needles & Pins' 45 for free today. Just got paid though so I might go digging tonight.

Not to mention the stacks of unreleased mp3 raer on my HD

I guess the NRR finds are killin' it. Nice on the vespa. I like the idea of vespa's, like a nice transportation vehicle. But I can't take myself seriously actually travelling in one. I get the same feeling about segway's.
One of my regular customers from my market stall gave me some records his friend was throwing out and this was amongst them . The rest of them were pretty crap but this was a good score. The reggae version of "Woman of the Gettho" {Thats how its spelt on the cover)is awesome.
All from the sales bins this morning...a couple of bucks each. The covers are in much worse condition than the vinyl...All look unplayed. Now i'm just twiddling my thumbs here at work, wanting to go home and listen to them...
Plus I finally found Millie Jackson's 'Caught Up' the other day, but it's not with me ... Wonderful southern soul. Totally as great as I have been told.
Yo I got finds - lucked into a local store having just got a stack of JA 45's in ... a bunch of these are rinked (surprise!) but those were a buck, others are cleaner and were still cheap:
That Johnnie Clark track is gorgeous. On the Marcus Garvey rhythm.
The blank is Peter Tosh & the Wailers, "Pound Get a Blow"
Versions of Cynthia Richards & the Ethiopians, respectively.
The Prince Buster track is "Big Five" - a Triple-XXX version of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night In Georgia," in which "today I smoked an ounce of weed, tonight I'm gonna plant a seed in her" is probably the tamest lyric.
The Tubby dub on the flip of the Johnnie Clarke is
And for real, I've been leaving good records all over Boston and they're still sitting there...In Your Ear Boston has Life On Mars, Cheapo's has Max Roach We Insist! in the New Arrivals, Looney Tunes downtown has Gene Clark's White Light in the Byrds section for a sawbuck - it's been sitting there for a month - shit, even the In Your Ear in Cambridge got some shit in...I'm just sayin', Boston headz, let's go, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND JAM.

Yo James, I hit the same sales bins last night & got these:

My big plan this weekend was to go diggin'; no work, no plans...saturday was gonna do the stereojacks/iye-cambridge/cheap0 run, then IYE on the other side of the river.
but, then my car got as totalled as that von ryan record you're grillin'. (not my fault; nobody hurt; not much of a story.)
My Odyssey-s/t came slanted in a rectangle box, stuffed with newspaper. As soon as I opened it, my stomach turned, but miraculously, it was safe. People are straight LAZY man.

i am very jealous, i want that model vespa more than anything
Yeah that record is pretty common despite going for some coin.
One of those copies was found by walking through a Jamaican meat & fish market, down some stairs in the back and underneath the market was a makeshift social club with a couple crates of records stashed behind a sofa.
One of the stranger places I've found records, for sure.
I went to a trailer in the boonies and pulled Big Bad Bo by Bo Diddley unplayed. He was a "DJ", and now he was a "jeweler." He said he lived out there because people in Albany would follow where he lived and rob him. He was about 60 and nice as fuck, but I somehow didn't buy his story. Anyway, Big Bad Bo. The only record I bought out of 600 on a 50 minute car ride. Thweet.
Some take homes this week. The Wazoo LP is very strange and cool. The Ray Barretto is a long time need (and its signed by Yacco which the DC Latin heads will recognize).

Seriously. I want some record porn.

I need to VG+up on this one as my copy is pretty gacked. Great record.

I can't tell if that Baxters is mono. But if so, a top ten rock record imo.
