    yeah that poppy family is pretty cool.

    That is a really nice record. One of those "I need to burn this to CD" type records.

    Wow. That one got me laughing, because I went on a long road trip today with my #1 girl, and as she was flipping through the CD's I had brought along I said, "I really wish I had burned a copy of this amazing Laurindo Almeida record I got the other day, it would have been perfect for the ride..."

    Damn, what does this thing sound like? A local spot has a copy of this and it was always one of those covers that lingers in my mind as i flicked past it.

    Around half of it is pretty cool brazilian guitar styled versions of pieces by Bach with Almeida on guitar and Brown on upright bass. The rest of the tracks ("Brazilian Greens" "Mo' Greens") add a dope (uncredited) drummer, and go on to some next level shit, just a real nice sound, a perfect mix of players bringing some laid-back b-boy summer iced-tea sippin' heatness.

    and got a 1st pressing of that collectors LP. holler.

    Cincy is cheep. Kentucky is for the birds.

    I remmember on my second trip to NYC back in 2001, the first place I went digging at was Kims. Walked and dude had two unpriced cartes of hiphop he'd just received. After some begging I got to go through them. Pulled out a mint copy of Da Bitchez 12" (among a lot of other usually expensive titles) and thought he was gonna charge me a fortune for it.



    Priced it at $5.95.



    I had to contain myself.

  • Still a nice find. I love it.

    Them days.

    For a while ebay was a magical machine for converting $1 hip-hop 12"s into pricey jazz. One $40 or 50 king tee 12" at a time. Not even worth picking up for resale any more. (which is fine, they stay in the collection)


  • This one was minty! Whassup with the Dr. John/Jesse Hill/etc connection on this album:




    Harold Battiste - one of the original A.F.O. session guys from New Orleans, relocated to L.A. in the early 60's, and ended up working as musical director for Sonny & Cher. He brought out a bunch of NOLA guys, like Dr. John, Alvin Robinson and Jesse Hill for session work. Dr. John's first LP was recorded using leftover Sonny & Cher session time. Battiste went on to be the driving force behind Pulsar records, where he would use all of those guys, and also release 45s by Robinson and Hill (check out Hill's 'Mardi Gras' on Pulsar, a funk banger).

    I'm not usually jealous over finds posts but Venom...

    Shit!

    Nice digs.

    Makes my second haul of 80s rap promo 12s over the weekend pale.

    The best part about Venom records is they have a function beyond just listening to them. If you put one on, your girlfriend instantly disappears. Scientific fact. If you ever need to be alone and she won't leave, drop the needle on "Countess Bathory" or "At War With Satan" and they go running, covering their ears.

    I am green with envy.

    A couple of records that I picked up yesterday from Atlanta:

    -- everyone sweats similar girly California pop psych raers but so often sleep on this record which is as good as Guryan, Priddy, etc. I think their second album, Poppy Seeds, is even better. Anyone checked out / have opinions on the solo Susan Jacks LPs?

    I have a clean copy for trade if anyone is interested.
