I know it's a wee bit early on the weekend finds but I thought I'd start it off strong.This is a mix of Thanksgiving finds, lots of interesting random private and some trades. That flower field generic cover has a funny storry.It's the senior concert from Beaver Dam Wisconsin on Century, which is the place my mom went to highschool. I rolled in and showed it to my and uncle upon my return from my upper mississippi grinding. The sticker had this ladies name, and when my uncle sees it he goes, "I think I had sex with her behind the park". Upon which my mom also recognizes the name on the record and goes "I never liked that girl". Random and funny, we had a laugh on how things can come full circle 35 years later. Anyway the LP has what I consider a super legit, folked-out version the soft rock heater "Summer Breeze". Also stoked on an unplayed Stax mono of Booker T "Soul Dressing". The Sons of Thunder has mad breaks and an intersting blue-eyed version of "Memphis Soul Stew."

That's a double if anybody want's to get down. "Love for Sale" , I think thats the name, is a great track.
Honestly have not listened to it for more than two seconds, his voice was slightly annoying.
What label is his other LP on....the backing band on the above one is basically Little Feat.
lets boyne down the cornfields
ABC. It commands some dough for this great song:
you find the jeff jones locally or was it a trade?

45s
Break Beats Vol.5 - There Was A Time/Family Affair
James Brown - Shhhhhh (For A Little While)/I've Got Money

Mark Valentino - The Push & Kick/Walking Alone
Swinging Blue Jeans - Rumors, Gossip, Words Untrue/Now The Summers Gone
Nicole Willis - If This Ain't Love (Don't Know What Is)
Somebody told me that Fayva shoe stores used that song, at the time, as a radio ad?!
I have his Lizard LP (plus a few random 45's he did as "N.F. Porter" and "Frederick II"), and he basically comes off as a rockish Al Jarreau (or Roshell Anderson), with the weird way he phrases and scats the lyrics.
What's his ABC album like? Same rock-soul orientation?
short weekend. ice/snow/sleet mix prevented me from doing anything today.
still sealed og of that david astri- dancing digits 12" --
also that jayme marques has a couple of hot brazilian disco/funk tunes on it. lou perez has a couple of latin funk bombs on it--- 'afro hustle' being the highlight. orig 12" of the pete rock/cl -troy!
really red -reissue lp picked up at double d for 5 bucks. bitch magnet 1st record for 2 bucks at dd as well.
j dilla prod
sealed og. electro hip hop from kid nice
Such a wicked cover design for that one.....the label Raw Fusion used the same design for a couple of their 12" releases , I thought they came up with it on their own but now that I see the original , it makes sense. How is that 12"?
One of those supposed-to-be-common records that took
years to turn up, and even then it's a Ringwear McTapejob ...
Nice album, though.
Another elusive mother - the first time I came across it
I gave it away as a Christmas gift, years ago. Finally got
a nice one, although I know a couple of people on here had
sealed stock or something. I love the sound of this LP (and
their 45's, most of which aren't on here) with it's live
cabaret vibe and what sounds like an upright 3-piece
drum-kit snapping loose rhythms throughout.
One of my all-time favorite covers, too.
this was an e-buy, but a bit of a score, nabbed off eBay Germany
for 10 euros, it was listed as "M-/M-" and amazingly really was,
looks unplayed and the cover near perfect.
Such a sick album, with a bunch of killer songs (and a couple ehh).
Also one hell of a
Couple of solid cheap 45's:
THRIFT STORE GRIPPS:
some notables (paradise is banged, sadly):
After a decade of searching, finally got a nice EXPERIENCE original press in the field for $1
Smithstonian "mississippi mud" Spent way too much PlayPal $$$ on this, but it's worth it!
the Salambos "salambo"
Steve Soul "popcorn with a feeling" Finally!
House Guests "my mind set me free" this looked really beat up when I found it...It had a chip out of the run in groove and lots of surface wear, brought it home and cleaned it up nicely...Chip doesn't effect play and both sides play a strong VG without major noise!!!
The Sign of Vibration (great Funk 2-Sider!)
Jimmy Mayes & the Mill St. Depot "social security number"
Dynamic Tints "rosemarie"
the Epic Splendor "cowboys and indians" (amazind song!)
Clean Stock Copies!!!
Ah, so "pop your funk" is Promo only? Which version goes for more loot then?
Pop Your Funk is raer and worth about $100, the male/female 12" is about $15-20. I didn't think that Pop Your Funk was a promo, I thought it was just a small pressing.
I always thought that Harvey Mandel cover was kinda nasty.
the Hallo comp has a few mean and nasty flutey prog tunes with hip hop drums.
dead pleased to find a cheap copy of a DUTRONC album - never seen one in the wild before.
top three are early xmas presents that my mum nabbed in Krakow whilst she was there --- awesome!!
The CHORALERNA is xian rubbish with a massive b-boy break that John Stapleton first played me at Evil Kitty a few months a go -- couldnt turn it down for a few quid in the easy listening boxes!!
the GILL SCOTT HERON was nice n cheap and a strata east OG to boot!!
i had to buy the DEKE LEONARD as im reading his autobiography about the Man band so i need to fill in the few gaps in my Man colection to make sense of it all...
the 7's are:
CASTAWAYS - "liar liar"
SMALL FACES - "lazy sunday / rollin over"
EAST OF EDEN - "jig a jig"
