Genres or Artists You Wish You Had More Knowledge Of

From a selling stand point I've always sold braeks, funk, soul, psych, every type of rap/Hip-Hop and just recently started getting more knowledge on folk. But I've always noticed that certain classical titles can fetch some major cash. I've tried to get into it but it just seems to be way beyond me and to be honest I just don't get it. What are some genres you would like to be more knowledgeable of?
Also, when it comes to Beatles stuff it's just too many details to their releases for me to even begin to start hunting / selling their stuff. When it seems like I've found an original pressing of theirs, it's always some minor detail that winds up proving other wise.

Knowledge about sought after classical stuff would also be handy. Also early NDW stuff would be interesting (Die t??dliche Doris, Atlantik Schwimmer, things like that)
"Oh damn, this is the Dubliners album I've been fiending for, apparently it makes More Of the Hard Stuff sound like The Cheiftans!" etc etc
you're from deutchland, right?
id go for beatnick. hard to find these in the field over here
but would come in handy this summer when i visit london.
Start with Julian Cope???s book on Krautrock, Krautrocksampler: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D8PZ4HTC
Every few years, my mother offers to keep an eye out for records for me as she goes to garage sales and whatnot. She lives in the boonies of Idaho so I never expect her to find much, so I keep it simple in telling her what to look for...if you ever see any James Brown records, please call me. And in 15 years of having this identical, recurring conversation, she has never once come across a James Brown record and called me. But in talking about it, she always brings up Elvis and the Beatles, and I have to explain to her that collecting their stuff is far too complicated.
I just just heard the term recently and was interested learning more.
What's some good skiffle to check for?
This doesn`t mean that knowledge about it or the records are easily obtainable. It is an obscure genre which wasn`t commercilly sucessful back in the day. I think it was back then more appreciated in the Uk than in Germany itself.
Thanks for the Ebook. Downloading it at the moment and looking forward to read it.
I haven't read the book, but I've been too intimidated by his catalogue to begin trying to figure out where to start with him. I recently got the "Space Is The Place" LP and really enjoy it, so I need to make some more baby steps. Suggestions?
but i think that the road of discovery is the most fun part of digging..and life in general..
thats the pitfall of life.. you have the need to know everything and experience everything about that what you like.. and then when you know it all, you wish you were at the beginning part and you start reminiscing..
yeah..im weird like that.
Helter Skelter, dude. Helter Skelter.
que?
Quasi-random:
Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy
Strange Strings
Lanquidity
Sleeping Beauty
The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra
I know there's some great sht out there, I've just never heard any of it!
one of my favorite records is Os Brazoes....fuzzy guitars, beats, breezy vocals, just so much flavor...need more of that in my life.
not sure how id find out more other than through the interwebs (any site suggestions?)
but my favorite way is to find in the field or listen in person. not too much of that poppin up in philly
You up on the Love, Peace, and Poetry comp series? Here's a blog that talks a bit about them: http://chocoreve.blogspot.com/2006/01/love-peace-and-poetry-vol-1-2-3-4-5-6.html
Volumes 2, 6, 7, and 10 are Latin American, Brazilian, Mexican, and Chilean psych respectively. I mean, comps are comps, but they're a good place to start to branch out from. Your boys Os Brazoes have a track on the Brazilian edition.
with the cute retro blonde chick on the covers? good call
ive checked some of those and like a lot, without a doubt.
i think i heard latin american and the asian one, maybe another
Os Brazoes is a special record. Loronix is a good site fro Brazilian psych, though apparently the man behind it has passed.
Also check:
Paebiru
Marconi Notaro
Free Son
Los 007
Erasmo Carlos - 'Carlos Erasmo'
Los Nuevos Shains
O Bando
Som Imaginario - 1st
For a start. I didn't include groups like Modulo 1000 or Aguaturbia because, as awesome as they are, there is nothing particularly 'South American' about them. One reason I love Os Brazoes is that they are truly Brazilian.
im up on erasmo carlo....i like very much.
i remember someone mntioing lorinix. will check

It would help to speak French fluently, and I'm working on learning the language, but I love French music. Of course, I really like Serge Gainsbourg and Fran??oise Hardy's music, but would love to learn about all the various y??-y?? girls, freakbeat, soundtrack stuff. There's a lot of ill shit.
Are you the dude learning French by transcribing Gainsbourg songs? Awesome idea.
Horse , how did Zecalouro die? Loronix was such a good blog! i thought he just stopped doing it.
Yeah, that's me. Thanks!
I just started it back again after a 6 month hiatus, and found a real good collaborator (and native speaker) that's been improving my rough translations. Incidently, I started a Fran??oise Hardy one as well.
If anyone is interested:
