The saddest thing I've noticed over the last few years is that clean copies of good normal records are getting A LOT harder to find. Like, you can't really just walk into a record shop and buy a Curtis or Velvet Underground lp like you used'ta could. It must suck to be getting into records these days.
so true...try going out and finding a clean Black Sabbath s/t, or the aforementioned Curtis, or an MC5...just in the last 5 years shit is diminishin'...
The anthonypearsons are ebaying all of your records around the world, so in time they drop out of circulation over there.
Damn, there's more than one of him? I guess that would explain how he can run 1,000+ items at a time and not break a sweat. I think he got one of those cloning devices like in the Prestige.
I hear Skullsnaps, Ramp & Joe Quarterman were plentiful in Finland, IN THE 80's AND EARLY 90's
A friend of mine once passed on a box of sealed Skull Snaps LP's at a fleamarket...but this was 20 years ago when great collectros weren't looking for soul records, at least not in this part of the world.
Natural Four "Heaven Right Here On Earth" and the Notations LP on Gemigo used to be real common here in Finland, but not anymore.
This Dallas LP, Jason & Wilson, used to always pop up around Dallas and you could sell it for $75-100. Haven't seen it in 3-4 years - apart from the microscopic cover scans on Japanese websites.

Stacks of all the shit mentioned in this thread (minus the libraries) are all over the atlanta area. BLueNote, Kudu, CTI terds, All the curtis mayfield records but beat up, SalSoul, all of the group "pleasures" records, prelude records, all the titles on the PIR label....but the prices of these shits is another story

What's your take on the Turbines or Treat Her Right?
I guess my take is that I haven't seen them around. Did they used to be common?
Well, THR is, the Turbines maybe less so (where I stay). But since you're out looking for 1980's Boston rock, I wondered if you'd ever happened on their stuff.

I've been getting more into in the last 6 months since I found a store with a nice Boston section, but it hasn't been at the forefront of my collectroing for too long. Still, I've already seen enough Barrence Whitfield records to last a lifetime.

Considering it was on a small label (Mamou), Barrence's first album turns up in Chicago with alarming frequency. The long-players on the slightly larger Rounder label turn up too, but somehow that first one with the white cover is ubiquitous. But then again, he toured like a madman in the late '80s and early '90s - the Chicago rockabillies loved him - so I'm sure his elpees circulated real well.

ouch. I can only assume that he felt his skull snap after discovering that it had value.
