I recently found my second copy of that Disco Alamo 12". The first one I gave away for basically nothing to the guy whose popsike listing you linked to. Live and learn. I have a seven inch by another early Bay Area rapper, whose name is eluding me. It has a red label and the guy's name is one word I think, something like Flowers but I don't think that's it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Also, 1986 sounds way late in the game for that to be the first or second Richmond rap record. It's not something I'm actively interested in but there must have been some stuff before that?
I've been in Colorado Springs for the past four days and here's what I found in great condition:
Wood, Brass and Steel Claudine soundtrack The Sylvers self-titled
and a bunch of 45s, mostly power pop 60s songs as well as Hit Records backstock:
The Chords "Mirage" / Ed Hardin "Release Me (And Let Me Love Again) (Hit) Leroy Jones "When A Man Loves A Woman" / Bobby Brooks "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (Hit) Shannon "Abergavenny" / "Alice In Blue" (Heritage) George Baker Selection "Little Green Bag" / "Pretty Little Dreamer" (Colossus) Mary Jones "Walk On By" / The Concords "Diane" (Hit)
The Spartas "I'm Crying" / "Have I The Right" (Hit)
Port Clinton Junior High School Concert Band 1972 "Winds In Encore" (RPC)...Badly mic'ed JH school band doing covers of "We've Only Just Begun" and "2001". This makes my second independently pressed LP of a young band doing versions of those very two songs.
and an acetate single, also 60s garage rock style. Or it's probably just a test/master press of a popular song I just so happened to have never heard before. Either way:
Solo roadtrip -- Humboldt to Las Vegas. Digging along the way. I bought one record for ten bucks, paid five each for a couple in a Vegas antique store, but other than that, I basically paid twenty five cents per record. Not that I won???t pay money for good records, but I???m also willing to wait on some things I think might be overpriced that I *could* find. Here are some funk soul disco finds. I???m intrigued by Porno disco. And you can sass Herbie Mann but he made a reggae cross-over record in ???73, before Johnny Lydon shows up at Scratch???s Black Ark. Bobby Womack baby! More disco babes . . . I must have a weakness. Some international stuff. Respect the flute players. And the percussionists, and the strings, and the horns, and the . . . And of course, some esoteric, extraterrestrial and spoken word. The Cross and the switchblade makes a second reverend david wilkins record for me. The other one just kills me, so I have high hopes for this one. And I got doubles of the TM record in the lower corner if anyone needs any extra. Lotta cult records on the California 5 . . . Hmmmmm. Since this is a record board, I???ll skip all the desert, vegas adventure stories. One ???strut related moment though. I camped by the Tuolumne river at a public car-camping spot. I got there at dusk, set up my tent, cracked a beer, and suddenly was musically was bombarded. On the left was a loud country radio station. On the right were thirty young folks singing *just the chorus* of Hotel California over and over again. I turned up the boom box with Yusef Lateef and the campground went silent.
It's a pretty cool record. As said, it's got 3-4 boogin' tracks with kid/teen vocals. $300 could have been a fluke, but I think there's definitely some demand for it.
Great album & find A**m. Quite a few big bay area players on that lp. I forget the brothers names on there, but all in all, great album and nice score homie!!! One of my all time favorite bay gospel records.
Few records this week, pretty dry lately, I'm gonna have to hop in the car and hit up a bigger city soon:
though it was the neighborhood garage sale last weekend, and I copped this as a gag at first. When I got it home I gave it a spin and, despite tears of laughter, I couldn't help admitting it's some mean Kazoo:
judge for yourself...or should I say, brace yourself. First up 'Stayin Alive', at 2:40 is 'Miss you' and at 5:40 is 'Whole Lotta Love'.
A clean original of Piere Henry and Michel Colombier's "Messe Pour Le Temps Present..." and a sealed Perez Prado "This Is". Also: The Bamboos "Step It Up", reissue of Baby Huey and a reissue of The Pharaohs
I dig that horace andy version of nice and easy- let me know if you don't!
Yeah, its real cool, thought it was a version of Do It Baby, love the Redd Holt version, so I was like wooow putting it on, the dubbed out B side kills it in a mayor way!! This is headed straight to the player crate along with the Why 45 which is a first turn up for me too, also killer!!!

It didn't really move me, it's decent caribdisco I suppose.
