That's right, finds fools. mad crazy stupid cheap kinda common but "dope" 45's:Happy Return is a hot 2-sider with a pounding fuzz a-side and a moody flip thatwas comped on Fading Yellow. Apollas got that groove. Big Youth is fire but rinked.Orsa Lia is a weird girl group pop vocal but with fuzz guitar and mysticlyrics. Cool stuff. I never knew there was a sequel to the Steelers' classictune on Date, "Get It From the Bottom" ... but there it is!Shay Holiday is nice funky soul with the same label & producer as Tommie Young,and has a very similar sound to her best stuff. Nice later tune from the Swingin'Blue Jeans, I'm still a sucker for that Merseybeat stuff when done right.Underground Power-Pop classic! So good, this is the stuff that all those80's movies soundtrack bands were trying to copy ...Few cheap LP's:And a few more interesting ones:Finally get my Hackamore Brick fix taken care of! Some really amazing songs on that album, and just a great vibe to the whole thing. It's goingon the heavy listening shelf for a long time. Nice obscure Barrett Strongrelease, includes the sought-after gospel/modern soul crossover track "ManUp In the Sky" and a smoooth version of "Ain't No Love in the Heart of theCity" ... nice shrinkwrapped clean copy of the Prunes, and the Liska doesn'tend up being as good as it looks like it could, mostly country pop SSW terds,but a few real quality tracks, couple of "outlaw ballads" that stand up.

    i believe it is the real missus beastly just bein funny...pretty cool record, but mostly overpriced. Shouldn't cost you more than 15-20??? max i think...

    umm, i think its the second, stolen incarnation of the group but maybe i'm wrong. the history of that band confuses me. anywyas its the version of missus beastly that i dig-the prog jazz fusion one...similar line-ups to the self-titled on nova and space guerilla on schneeball.

    yeah, they should have named themselves "missus beastly II" or sth to cope with all the line-up changes

    my personal top finds this week so far are some rare-or-not-but-worth-a-look jazz records from bulgaria (dope bigband record, but probably a compilation), poland (excellent jazz from eastern europe) and japan (contains a version of take five with traditional japanese instruments):

    i like "moment of truth" by gangstarr, it's a good album. it has this song about guru's trouble with the law called "jfk to lax".

    From the thrift store today:






    ... the Can-Dee is sealed, and the only one that seems to be sought-after.

    Yesterday I bought a record that the owner was playing in the shop when I walked in. I said "what's that, I want it."

    Is that still a "find"???? It was $10 if that helps.
  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    Had one of my best eBay scores in a looong time recently ...

    ... a "lot" of 18 sealed records from one seller for $18 total:



    Some junk/filler, but a few gems, like the Tami Lynn, James Luther Dickinson, Alamo, etc ...





    Oh yeah, I forgot one of the 18 ...

    Nice work on that ebay score, SOI!

    No pics, but had my first finds in a while:

    CAN-Ege Bamyasi
    CAN-Future Days
    Pink Floyd-Atom Heart Mother

    OG Italian pressings, the Floyd is a Greek press, $5 bucks each

    Am I remembering that the US press of Ege Bamyasi has some defect? What was it?

    top 3 are from trading in old ones I never listened to. bottom two were copped in real world for cheap from a store that over prices 50's doo-wap, r&b and jazz, but doesn't know nada about african music. PUSH AM FORWARD on the afro national is bonkers. Star Time is worth a bit right? all are very clean.

    There are 2 pressings of all 4 volumes of Star Time. The OG HMV and the UK press on Odeon. I've never seen any of the 4 volumes go for under $150 reaching about as high as $280. They are all amazing, and that particular one is the only one left I need.

    haha, no I can't even afford shit right now, just wanted to let him know it might pay off for him.

    and for the record, I do suck at poker. You should see the schitzo twitch I get when I have a good hand.
