    If they only made 12 it can't be very good then can it?



    Gladys Knight, Zulema, Kool & Gang, Curtis are nice... the gospel one is not a bad comp. Vanilla Fudge is pretty rinked. There's a latin LP with a xylophone/fuzz guitar cover of Get Ready.

    top left is mexican female soul with a bit of a rhumba vibe. Next to that is a mexi-disco medley with a nice intro.

    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...

    the label caught my attention - super K, a subsidiary of Buddah, say what? i was sucked in by the same liner notes, they got me over to a listening station quick.

    i cant say theres breaks, but i was just needle dropping and havent had a chance to listen fully. I heard dope sounding grooves and cool production, but also some goofy nonsense. It was $7 and near mint, and i dont mind rolling the dice at that level when the needle dropping sounded mostly cool. sorry i cant be more help. Id say pay no more than $10 if you arent sure. (for all i know it could be worth $5 or $30)

    Jo Ann Garrett

    I need her full length lp like it owes me money



    CO-SIGN!!!





    Haven't got this yet, but I'm expecting a visit from the E-Bay fairy.



    Might have paid too much, but damn I will kill the floor with this one!!!



    45s



    RUFUS & CARLA - We're Tight (Stax)

    JIMMY HUGHES - Goodbye My Love Goodbye (Fame)

    JUNIOR WELLS - Cut My Toenail (Bright Star)

    DON HOLLINGER - Cruel World / Until I Find You (Atco) My new favorite soul 45!

    MIGHTY JOE YOUNG - The Rains Came (Wet Soul)---This one has me puzzled. I knew this song cause it's a Huey Meaux song that Doug Sahm covered 2 different versions of. Well this one is the earlier version of Doug's with some strings at the beginning and some female backing vocals. I don't understand cause Mighty Joe Young is a real dude...why put out Doug's recording under Young's name? Pickwick?



    LPs

    Thanks Mark!

    PCC swap was nice to me today

    Modern soul finds:



    picked up 2 sealed copies of that Marige Joseph if anyone is interested

    Other various soul finds:


    and a couple highlights:


    Perfect Circle[/b] "S/T" (Inner City)
    when I first started digging I was working at big B's in Las Vegas, we had a copy of this in the dollar bins and some dude bought it and let me hear what I was missing out on, 6 years later I finally have a copy for myself


    John Braheny[/b] "Some Kind Of Change" (Pete)
    Mellow soft psych on a small California label. think of this as relaxed bloodshitting music with a twist


    The Pattersons[/b] "Dear Jesus I love You" (Birthright) - x 3
    I bought my first copy of this a cople of years back and havent seen any since. Family band of Funky gospel with kids getting down in the most hard as fuck way you can for the lord. I flipped out when I found 3 sealed copies

    You don't have to say how much you paid for it, but I believe a stash was unearthed not too long ago and there's currently a flood of these right now. I've seen this go for $300+ several years ago. I paid a little over $100 for mine, and that was maybe 3 years ago. Supposedly current price is between $60 and $100.

    What is this record?

    The one with the painted cover....here







    Just as much jazz as it is funk IMO. Love their style of playing.

    who has them? I would like one.

  • CosmoCosmo 9,768 Posts
    Hey dude, good seeing you this weekend.

    I don't know who unearthed them, but they're up on the 'bay. Starting bid $99.99 right now.

    30 Second Clip from Embryo



    also, a cheap reissue of Cannonball Adderley's "Soul of the Bible"

    and $1 records by Dionne Warwick, Jose Feliciano, Willis Jackson & Grand Funk Railroad (their first, "On Time" that was surprisingly good, almost an hour of music on the LP and lots of good hooks, loud drums, and not SO bad vocals!)

    Very cool LP. I'll just add that one track off it was comp'd on "funky sixteen corners" on stones throw.

    I normally wouldn't uh, blow up the spot here, but spot is well and thoroughly blown.

    If anybody has a copy in decent shape for a decent price, or the one with the lightbulb on the cover, drop me a line.



  • My copy of this has a different cover, it has the writing in all yellow and in a different font. Anyone know the difference between the two?

I don't understand cause Mighty Joe Young is a real dude...why put out Doug's recording under Young's name? Pickwick?

    I have no idea what the deal is, but as far as the name...Mighty Joe Young was the name of a movie long before the Chicago bluesman called himself that. I'm willing to bet that Huey Meaux (Wet Soul owner?) was thinking of the movie and didn't know the Chicago MJY from a bucket of paint.

    At first, I thought it was another pseudonym for James Young, a Gulf Coast R&B singer who also recorded for Huey Meaux (and recorded at one point as Big Sambo). I think he may have recorded "The Rains Came" himself. But then I reread your post - you implied that this was Doug Sahm on the vocals, so there goes that theory.

    I have the same Wet Soul 45, so I was interested in this, too - I always assumed it was the same Mighty Joe Young that cut blues LP's, but wasn't familiar with him or the Sahm version enough to realize the ruse.

    Anyway, from Soul Strut's own La*ry G's Funky16Corners.com, I found this bit of info that may help, or may only deepen the mystery:

    James Young[/b] & The Housewreckers - Barking Up The Wrong Tree (Jet Stream) ??? Speaking of funk from Texas, this is one of the best 45???s, from a state that seems give up a new, classic lost funk 45 every other day. This is the same band that hit the charts in the early 60???s as ???Big Sambo & The Housewreckers (I???ve seen a pressing of this 45 with the leader listed as ???James ???Big Sambo??? Young???), who did the original version of Huey P. Meaux???s ???The Rains Came (later a hit for the Sir Douglas Quintet).[/b] That shot at the limelight came to an abrupt and when certain civil rights leaders took exception to the name ???Big Sambo???. Needless to say they kept at it, and cranked out this blistering slammer. The a-side, ???Barking Up The Wrong Tree??? features a wild vocal and shrieking sax by Young, and solid, extremely funky backing by the aptly named House Wreckers. The flip, ???Funky Butt??? is an instrumental reworking of Jean Knight???s ???Mr. Big Stuff???.

    And of course, Jet Stream is Huey Meaux' label. I feel I have someone else doing the song, another Meaux production of course - maybe Roy Head?

    Meaux milked that song dry - I have versions he produced on Freddy Fender and (I think) Joey Long.

    i didn't do much hunting this weekend but i did have an amazing web find on saturday. Stefano torossi's feelings on orig italian carosello - must be less than 4 known copies of this masterpiece - 11 euro with postage - its in the post.



  • m_dejeanm_dejean Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut. 2,946 Posts



    Nice. I've only got that abdul malek track from it on a MPS comp. "Surfin'" is my Embryo fave.



    Not much digging for me this weekend. Been working on music and checking out the CPH Jazz festival instead, but still got a little something:













    Italian xian hymns with sparse 'rock' instrumentation, keyboards + drums.





    Translates to "Beat Mass". Xian hymns meet rock again, this time in Poland.

    The one I've got is called Big "SAM" & the Housewreckers...it's on "ERIC" records too. It is definitly Doug Sahm. This is the one that's the same as the Mighty Joe cut. Huey was cashing in I guess.
