    That record has popped up on here alot lately - that's like the 3rd one in the last week...maybe the Scientologists found a warehouse full of them, and are seeding record "spots" around the country in a recruitment effort?

    That Apollo Stars record is pretty dope imo, don't know if it would be everybody's cup of tea though. Somebody posted clips of it a while back. Kinda hard to explain but its really frantic, almost tribal at times- very percussive. Theres 10 people in the group. Hope that helps...

    i bought two records today

    chocolate milk - s/t
    and
    the black diamonds - fire music on super sound. wich seems to be just another alias for the animated egg/astro sounds, since it's the exact same songs and says "licensed from alshire" on the cover.

    yeah, I got that one too. Same as Animated Egg. Mines from Sweden or some place like that.

    The weird part is, this was Counterpoint Records, directly below a huge scientology billboard and across the street from the international celebrity scientology center.



    hmmm... and now I'm home listening to it and the record is ok. Probably more novelty than anything else.

    A few things from the past couple of days:








    What up with the bonus freestyle verse at the end of the "Feelin' It" instrumental??
    Shit is
    Meters is a nice comp LP of unreleased ish.
    The Baden Powell is what's really, tho. So nice.
    Oh, and the John Lee is rougher than rough, tougher than tough...

    Yeah, I did a double take when a clean OG was sitting in the new arrivals bin for a five spot - I mean, this is not a place where records like this go for cheap, I kept wondering what the catch is. My only letdown was that the song from it that I already had on 45, "Back Up," is probably the best track on there. Still, a dope record and definitely slept on, seeing as how I jacked that photo from a recent eBay auction for it that ended without anyone touching the $7.99 minimum bid.

    Ah, I havent been there in a few years and was wondering if they still got some things every now and then. I got lucky early on there with like some Black Jazz pieces and a Rasputin's stash but they never had anything after that.

    word that place used to have some nice records.

    i remember on the day of the 97 academy awards i picked up some nice pieces there. like this one dope record by majoie hajary and byard lancaster. i remember that day cause they were playing the academy awards on some tv.

    i don't think i've been back there too many times since then.

    i got the eliminators for 2 figures, i won't mention how much though. long time want that finally gets crossed off the ole want list.

    the dilemma record is jj jackson dilemma on perception. pretty weird soul, funk, big band, blues record with some good cuts.

    what is this one like ? any good ? looks like it could be dope and simulataniously weak.



  • TheMackTheMack 3,414 Posts
    dont know yet if the wheatones is any good. waiting for it in the mail. i'll let you know though. it was cheap($3 buy it now), and i'll always cop a cheap private press just on the chance it might be hot. plus its got an ill cover.

    but does anyone know about that dewey terry? i copped it on a cheap buy it now too. i saw some other auctions describing it as funky soul. hope its dope
