Spots are in full swing and the roaches are running around the record room in excitement. Today marked no less than the 6th occaision I've found a copy of HARD HANDS in either completely beat shape or missing the wax. It's beyond hilarious. I expect it to be there for me now. However there were some nice bits and baubles, random artists as well as nice copies of:this one is really ... I was sleeping on 60s barretto... I had a similar experience with tito puente a few weeks ago.

    Looks dope Mack, whats it sound like? Mr. Postman just brought me Randy Burns- song for an uncertain lady on ESP. Radd.

    They have one other, plus the avar lawrence stuff.

    Not uber rare or anything.

    There's a few other releases on a label associated with different drummer, I think it's the same thing.

    its some funky jazz rock type shit. the first side isnt that dope, but the second side(which is just one song) is a real wicked funky jazz type number

    I'll be selling a dupe of the other record. I like the stuff. Very similar to the first. "just might turn out to be sages"

    blurry pic of some flea market business. The 12" is Fantasy 3 - Biters In The City



    The coolest thing I picked up was the following Sly Stone book (looks like a record) of pictures. Circa 1969.

    It's really fresh. But it's not that long - the thing's still the size of a gatefold LP. 12 pages, not including the inside covers, and it's all pics back to back. Some really dope shit.

    I'll see if I can flick some more later. Anyone have any info about it?

    Picked up Earth, Wind & Fire - 'S/T' and Sylvia - 'Pillow Talk' at the local show today.



    Had to pass on the bill a dude was asking for Steve Reid's 'Nova'

    Interesting to note that this album contains the intro music for Gilles Peterson's radio show...



    I thought there was a slim chance he didn't know what market value.

    Just got my Brothers of Soul - Come on Back/The Love I Found In You from CDub

    I'm late to this post, but I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see anything...



    yeah, this is a nice album, nothing rare, but a good listen. His other one on Adamo is good too.

    That Al Green is the whitest of my white whales. I've got every other record of his, including some doubles, but I can't find that fucking record. My girlfriend (a country music fan, for Christ's sake!) found it at a record show when I wasn't looking and won't give it up.

    Yeah, "Baby Batter" is good... Of course, I had to pay a premium for it, relative to what I generally pay for records. It was $15, which is more than I generally spend on most stuff at the place I got it from, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

    I got "lucky" and found a trashed cover version for $7, which is usually cool with me, I worry about vinyl first...

    Got this today for $3, which is pretty damn on point:
