    i used to have that Gal lp...wasn't too crazy about it but now my tastes my like later-70s brazillian a bit more.

    i scored pretty big today:

    Exodus "together forever" 12" on Charlotte Amelie...disco grail and one of my favorite tunes ever. never thought i'd find a copy.

    Ian Dury "spasticus autisticus" / dub version 12"...haven't seen on of these in years...Compass Point disco not disco at it's finest.

    The Monster Orchestra Strikes Again lp...nice white-label of this tough to find last John Davis lp. contains the sought-after version of "bourgie bourgie" with the breakbeat.

    Ten City "that's the way love is" 12"...i heard this last week on Kiss FM and thought...i need this! and now i have it. classic chi-house produced by marshall jefferson...jack your body!

    Count Coolout "rhythm rap rock" 12" on Boss...minty copy of this disco-rap rarity...breaks for days on the instrumental.

    Bay City Rollers "don't stop the music" 12"...very rare canadian record pool with disco mix that starts off with great drums...worth about $130 more than what i paid on it.

    One to One "body music" 12"...nice boogie cut, different than the strikers "body music".

    and this 12" from Paris is Burning with a les rythmes digitales mix...i sort of collect his stuff.

    spent $40 total.

    I posted some shit that midweek finds thing, but seeing how its Thursday I'll just repost it here:



    Champaign[/b] "How Bout Us" (Columbia) - seriously one of my new favorite modern soul LP's every track is nice



    Sweet Marie[/b] "1" (Yard Bird) - Hawaiian group with a black rock sound. Very funky & Hendrix like. Thanks to all who supplied me with info on this rackord



    Sandra Fava[/b] Savoir Faire" (Venture) - increidble opening track. the rest of the album is ok, but teh 1st track is just so nice that it makes up for any mediocrity



    Sam Cooke[/b] "So Wonderful" (Famous) - Original press. excellent version of Gershwin's "Summertime".



    Victor Wood[/b] "In Despair" (???) - Filipino garage rock release. Guys voice is terrible but the backing band, the Ramrods ain't half bad.



    Leroy Hutson[/b] "Closer To The Source" (Curtom) - I've had the album 4 or 5 times and never actually listened to it until now. I think I'll keep this copy



    Rinlew Allstars[/b] "S/T" (AVI) - modern soul from '79 that the Black Vinyl addict dude posted about on his website. I originally bought this as a joke but I actually like it now.



    Keith Sweat[/b] "Make It Last Forever" (Vintertainment) - German press. I'm still trying to find a decent copy of Tevin Campbells 2nd LP & the Johnny Gill with "My My My" on it.



    Stylistics[/b] "S/T" (Avco) - german press. Great album that I never bothered to pick up before. an essential in any good soul collection



  • Sam Cooke "So Wonderful" (Famous) - Original press.



    RCA??? It's Friday player.

  • GuzzoGuzzo 8,611 Posts

    Sam Cooke "So Wonderful" (Famous) - Original press.

  • The_Hook_UpThe_Hook_Up 8,182 Posts
    it has been an all 45 weekend so far


    Joanne Gayles[/b] "Dont shake my tree/meet me half way"(Bright Star)
    talked about this one already, a bangin ass 2 sider

    Joe Chopper and swinging 7 soul band[/b] "Soul pusher/for the good times"(Lanor)
    blind purchase, turns out "soul pusher" is just a raw-assed take on the Gaturs "Cold Bear"...I like

    Russ Lewis[/b] "Brand New Recipe/love made me blue"(Sharp)
    picked it up because I was familar with "Brand new recipe" and liked it, but the real winner is the gangsta soul cut on the flip

    Gene Chandler [/b]"There was a time/Those were the good old days"(Brunswick)
    might be the hottest Gene Chandler out there, whoop-ass take on james brown classic

    Howlin Wolf[/b]"I had a dream/pop it to me"(Chess)
    another funky Howlin Wolf side! a bite of of "Sock it to me"...great!!!

    Wayne Cochran[/b] "Harlem Shuffle/Chopper 70"(King)
    the a-side is pretty good, but "Chopper 70" is tha lick..heavy funk y'all

    James Brown[/b] "hey america" vocal/instro(King) pic sleeve
    never heard this James Brown Christmas song, but dont have to wait 8 months to play it out cause the instro flip is where it is at with this one...

    Digs at my favourite and oh-so-secret spot



    and this record, which had no sleeve and is really really good. Can anyone shed any light on this? I don't really know Latin stuff very well, but tis is amazing - every track is nice in my opinion. Any info and value of this would be appreciated.

    Artist: Mr. Bongo featuring Gerrie Woo
    Title: Viva Tirado

    these pictures represent about a weeks worth of driving up and down the west coast, hitting every spot i could hit while doing unrelated work and play. i have some friends who live in some pretty out of the way areas, so there were some cool scores at some weird used bookstores, flea markets, etc out in the middle of nowhere. plus hit some obvious big city spots. WA, OR, CA. everything was cheap except the Lightning Hopkins which was a VG at $50 and a crazy bargain at that price. im planning on keeping these, but i did get a lot of doubles/tradables (not pictured) ill list when im back east and can get my crap together.



















    and here it is... .50 cents and worth every penny! has anyone ever seen this in person? i always thought it was an internet urban legend.

    Nice digs, Shig's gonna really want that Mazzy Star.







  • Man, we had boxes of these sealed at my work. We used them to package and send out other records (ditch the vinyl and use the empty jacket to protect corners when mailing). Before I started working there my boss bought a barroom full of Casablanca stuff, all unplayed. There's still tons of stuff kicking around our store from that buy.

    My favorite thing from that haul: pink tight Village People tank tops - classic!

    SONIC

    Should I be melting too? What is this?

    I've only spun it once. Some great tracks, some pretty bad ones. Here's a description someone else wrote describing the CD reissue.

    FENNER, LELAND & O'BRIEN Somewhere, Someday, Somehow US '97 LP $20
    Unknown LP in a very limited reissue from1969 (pressed then in only150 copies). This was originally issued on the RPC Vanity label, also home of Rubber Memory. A stunning LP filled with that broken dreamer vibe, where youthful idealism and naivete met the cold facts of Vietnam and the government's "true intentions". The resulting sound is somewhat akin to some of Bryan MacLean's work with LOVE and Crosby's "Wooden Ships", yet this music is all their own. Some excellent fuzz on a couple tracks, and hailed by all who have heard it. Original copies sell for seriously lofty amounts!

    Ray Alexander Technique - Let's Talk LP
    rescued from the sun at a flea market



  • Ray Alexander Technique - Let's Talk LP
    rescued from the sun at a flea market

    Man, all I caught was a case of dust poisoning out this morning. No ONE record anywhere. Definitely no sun-ra hiding out.

    Staring at ass crack of old weirdbeard who wanders around the market from 7AM. has one of those little wire push carts and smells like cigars really bad.

    That reminds me, last weekend I was there and he sees me next to the records and says "so do they have scratches?" and I kinda laugh and say "yeah they're pretty well-loved." and he says kind of irritated, "that's NOT what I was asking... I was ASKING if they were scratched!" and I'm just left like yeah that's what I was GETTING AT. nice chatting with ya.

    PS: he put back all the lawrence welk he was checking out. I guess it was too scratched.

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Definitely no sun-ra hiding out.

    The story on that is kind of funny... a dude tried to throw me on a wild goose chase because he was getting a lead on the batch, which was mostly reggae 45s... well, long story short, when I finally got there dude hadn't even touched the LPs. Sun Ra (in E condition), Eddie Holman, Cloud One LPs for $2? Yes plaese.

    It never pays to play dirty.

  • Way to hold your cards close to your chest!

    That sun-ra has a dope synth solo for like a whole side of the record, right?

    I've found that cloud one at least 3 times the last year. One just last week. I don't care for it, but it's popular... always goes out my door quick.
