So-Called Heat Letdowns once You Heard It-DISCUSS

Hi.


-Black Fairy (Though I still want a copy as a collectible)
-Sol (1 Track that's only OK)
-47 Times its Own Weight (Rock Fusion, why is this a $500 LP)
-Most Library Records
-G.T's "You Gave it Away" (Only OK bland funk, not worth price)
-Ray Alexander Technique (Muffled and Good, but not worth price)
-Most Hilton Felton LP's (1-trackers. Even the smooth jazz shit of his sells crazy. Why?)


These are just a few. Thoughts? Comments? Additions?


One LP that I need to hear desperately is this.

    True. But the first two albums are ill.

    Hi.

    -G.T's "You Gave it Away" (Only OK bland funk, not worth price)

    Two great tracks on that LP - Watusi Lucy and Get Down - worthy, and very playoutable.

    Co sign Libraries too.

    I need to re-listen to it again. I was underwhelmed when I heard it.

    Both of those cuts are 'play em loud' cuts. Sound great loud and over a quality pa.

    Massive co-sign on this. Got the old adrenaline rush when I found a sealed copy. Big let down.

    In all honesty, a lot of Americans fall prey to the tastes of Japanese and European collectors. These are the people who put a price hike on these mediocre rares. Just about everything I see on BVJ's site is rare corniness but some johnny come lately might think it's a funk break bukaki because it has a cool black and white cover with a dude in a fela suit and a afro. They see it on eBay and get in the action with a guy from Austria and win it for $225 and find out it's low budget Jon Lucien soul in the hole.

    I am saying.

    I know, if you're looking for funk, I mean it's not that kind of album... it's a big band with kind of jazzy arrangements... but for funky, how can you go wrong with "Don't You Care"?

    You don't feel the Watusi or Get down tracks either? They sound good next to Tomorrows People, Malone & Barnes or a couple of Pleasure cuts.

    I don't think it's worth dropping cash for but those two tracks make the LP a keeper, I'ld say.

    Niagara's "Affire" lp

    I would rather listen to the piano moods of Ronnie Aldrich and Blowfly's Rap being played at the same time through a phase pedal.

    If you want this one, save yourself some cash and just get an Olatunji lp.

    i think this is overrated... but understandably respected.

    no diss to the east coast, but i can't get into this either...

    To balance out my raer slander, check out this lil heat job:

    Errol Parker "My Bag, Vol.3"
    $20
  • generiquegenerique 625 Posts
    I sold a very dull French only Errol Parker to an American who thought it was a breakbeat bukake for I think around $300. Europeans really fall prey to the taste of American collectors, I'd say!

    I mean, it's not worth a lot of money... but I'd wager it's good music

    I still like my libraries. There are so many. Some of them are much better than those so called Deep Funk holy grail LPs! Just take a listen to Vecchio's Afro Rock in comparison to Wayne McGhie or King Herbert.

    One of the biggest letdowns to me:
    Black Velvet - Can You Feel It

    I also disliked all of Billy Wooten LPs. I resold them quickly!!!

    Niagara "the titty cover". That shit is straight ass. nothing but two sides of soom hippie drum circle convention. I mean who would really put that on and "listen" to it?

    oh wait...




    Don Blackmon as well. Not even the "hot track" is a hot track.
