thrifts, fleas, yard sales - 25 cents to 2 bucks ea. *exception of cluster lp reissue found at dd in atown
this holy grail -- in excellent shape
found it in a box of circa 1980 soul and disco at a yard sale from people who got it in a storage unit, so i am inclined and very confident to think it not a reissue.
found that in a box with about 55 r&b 78s for 20 bucks along with the likes of washboard bill, little junior parker, little willie john, bobby blue bland, little walter, memphis slim, sonny thompson, wynonie harris, big jay mcneely, eddie boyd, arthur big boy crudup, etc. condition ranges, which is pretty typical with 78s of this nature.

Jesus, there is no other poster on here who's weekend finds I simultaneously love and hate looking at more than dakar's.
and he may not be the only cat you would feel that love hate about if everyone who picked up records on the weekend actually posted them
Yeah, if everyone here posted on Weekend Finds this shit would be poppin with records like that. Still though, that's a killer find, maybe this week's tortilla chips to Raj's Bean Dip.
more weekend shit: finally caught up with that 3rd jazzdancer album, the one at the bottom right (the 1st are the double copies and the 2nd is the top left one)
and a clean 12' disco apache, the version which pops up once ina while in that funny you-tube vid

just sayin
No doubt about it. Dakar, however, is nice enough/a big enough dick to post his finds with some regularity. Actually it's pretty inspiring most of the time. Helps get me off my ass and out there looking for records.
Can anyone shed light on the two variations of the Mr Magic labels?
I just can't handle the fact that Dakar only spends around $200 on records in an entire year, yet ends up with better finds than those of us who spend that much a WEEK
mr. magic (tony pearson) put of 500 45s of this one (the 4 minute version) then later hired a band to re-record it with him due to fear of being sued on a 12". 3,000 copies of the 12" were put out and he had trouble distributing it and found help from peter brown, who re-released it (poorly remastered at frankford wayne) and took more credit for it on the different label than he should have.
to my knowledge the ultimate holy grail of this release is probably the 45 of it, though that lacks the 9 minute a side of this 12"

Leo looks like he's about to drop kick someone in the grill!

Yeah, I think I could successfully "make love" to that Mr. Magic record!!!
And I'm sure Biz has doubles!
