Got most of these at Amoeba SF last night. Harlem River Drive for $25, yes plaese!




These are from a house buy this afternoon, $25 for the lot, plus some more off screen. The Willie Colon is a gold label.
It's covered in light scratches. But it still sounds 10 times better than the Scorpio boot.

    Quick trip up the coast netted me:



    Nice clean OG...I might have to sell it, cause I could triple my money (and I'm poorer than usual these days), but now that I have it, I want to keep it...I knew that would happen...also:



    Nice OG Forward Records pressing...still need CB200 though...and I wish this had the original title track instead of the Kung Fu one...could I complain more about finding a dope record?
    Just one more:



    Such a nice album. Is this "Smooth Jazz?" Sign me up!

    And from the 4-for-a-Dollar spot:

    Lowrell - Overdose of Love - AVI 12"
    Phil Upchurch - Revelation - JAM
    Marsha Hunt - Marsha - Aves
    Gypsy - Anthithesis - RCA
    Common Sense - Voices Inside My Head - BOC 12" (this rules!!)
    Michel LeGrande - Themes and Variations - Bell
    Doug E. Fresh/MC Ricky D - The Show/La Di Da Di - Reality 12" (unplayed, for a quarter!)

    kidinquisitive, that Willie Colon is a great find, The Hustler LP is my favourite of his, awesome!!

    The flea was good to me today!

    The Challengers "S/T" (x2), haven't seen this record in three years and I find doubles in one day at the same flea, nice.
    Los Fanotms "S/T"
    Los Tios Queridos "Desde la Mitad de Dos Mundos" Ecuadorain pop/psych/garage
    Tipica 73 "Tipica Inc"
    Puerto Rico All Stars Vol 1
    Bobby Valentin "Va A La Carcel" Vol 1 & 2 (x2)
    Ray Barretto "Indestructible"
    Orq. La Conspiracion "Ernie's Conspiracy"
    Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound "2"
    Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound "Apollo's Zuki/Sigue Mi Rumbo" 45 on Pa'lante Records, this is Pa'lante 001, does anyone have any other 45s or LPs on this label?

    its a beautiful hot day here, off to the beach!

  • Mylatency, what are the finds on theses labels exactly: 25WEST / ELEKTRA (PROMO) / ISLAND ?

    Nice one on the Sylvia Striplin, a friend of mine just scored the same 12" in a garage sale. It happened that a disco dj was selling his collection for peanuts in his own garage sale somewhere. Chances that things like theses happens are very low.

    I found this for a dollar at a store fronting like a junk shop in Canton, Connecticut, that was really a kind of bougie antique place. Dude said the box it came from had a bunch of other nice stuff and he took home about forty records. He was wearing a Phish shirt. I paid with a golden dollar which made it feel like free

    that's the great thing about amoeba. they get so many god damn records that sometimes the people who are pricing them don't know what the fuck they're doing and you'll find a gem for cheap, but you have to go at least once a week to check.
