so far:
grip of goodies from a dj yesterday some disco/boogie and hip hop
got beat to a minty Samhain LP this morning but I ain't trippin, glad my man Ake copped it for $1
today's only rackord:
Lonnie Hewitt - Keepin' it Together on Wee
From O-dub's Soul Sides review: (november 2000)
"Hewitt, Lonnie: Keepin' It Together (Wee 1977)
This rare album by one of Cal Tjader's longtime pianist Lonnie Hewitt appears on the local, Bay Area indie label, Wee (owned by Hewitt). Despite being produced dead in the middle of the disco era, the album could easily be confused with something from five years earlier. The material on here is uneven though ?? a mix of Philly-esque symphonic soul arrangements and a lot of great, loopy commentary from Hewitt who talks on half the songs (or so it seems). As you might guess, "Funky Thang" is the funkiest joint on here, but even then, it'd hardly make a splash next to a ton of other songs I could name. Really, the best reason to keep this is for Hewitt's commentary ?? instant mixtape material. Oh yeah?? ill cover too."
Thanks O-dub, you nailed it on the review.

I gotta make a confession,I know virtually zero about hip-hop and disco,yet theres a record store across the street from me with tons of 12"ers.Can I borrow somebodys brain please? I promise I'll give it back when I'm done.
yeyah
also a real interesting free improv lp- Gunter Hampel and his galaxie dream band (birth label)
a few soul sister 45's-
Tommie Young on soul power
Jo Ann Garrett 1000 miles away/just say when on chess
I need her full length lp like it owes me money
How is that Deviled Ham LP?
There's a copy I could snag, but it's on the price fence where I don't want to "risk it, son." Reading that they do a side-long cover of "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" that combines elements of "Theme from Rosemary's Baby" manages to make me somehow want and not want it at the same time...
This would be the pick of the litter, got it home, cleaned it and it plays almost perfect! In case you don't know, one of the dopest funk 45s ever.
Another amazing funky instro with flute and ridiculous drum breaks. Perfect stoner music.
Probably near the top of my fantasy want list and the very last record sitting in the box. Too bad it's got some nasty scratches. Oh well, at least I won't be tempted to try to sell it now. The drum part plays pretty good at least.
Cool, my first Boola Boola find.
Pre-funk J.C. Davis on a 45 I never saw before. Plays like crap unfortunately.
Nice, very dope local funk, dare I say it's modern soul??
Not pictured: stuff like Funky Donkey by Pretty Purdie, Engine No. 9 by Wilson Pickett, lots more good stuff. Now I have to figure out what to keep and what to sell.
This album is Christian-based and on par with the JA's best funk in musical backing. Fire.
This man bleeds his soul.
I know I may have said this before, but this could be the best Stduio 1 album there is. Gorgeous stuff.
KEvin in Canada.
stuff from today and friday (just a few highlights, more pix soon...finally finally copped that USA for cheep) Glenn Jones - I am Somebody and Peech Boys 12" for sale.
....and then there was this (in a different stash from the USA believe it or not):
still in shrink, not a reissue
copy #12?
"One of the rarest albums in the world (under a dozen have ever been found) this is a fine late sixties US West Coast effort, with male and female vocals and some excellent sunshine psych material swathed in mellotron and Jefferson Airplane like arrangements."
that sounds fuckin amazing! and 12 copies known to exsist?
dude you always find the psych raerness. better throw that puppy and ebay and pay your mortgage off
I am more about good tunes and random non-raers than owning these heavy pieces. The LP is quite nice but I am sure there is a collector somewhere who has been dying to get their hands on this OG for years and I'd be happy to make them happy with this piece, no ayyo.
Good luck psych-bidding big dudes!!!!!!
