Had to start a finds thread, because, you know, there wasn't one and I've gotten some fun stuff from other folks round about in the past few weeks. Blair and Barron came from James' set sale (thanks!) who threw in a copy of Plum Happy for the wtfness of it (dblthanks!). The London Exp J 5 is from a waxi dude's set sale, who lives in the right neck of the woods for this LP, thanks Ad*m! Found all the others stuff local except for the Malcolm X, which plays great despite a rocked cover: E-bay 25$.. Oh yeah, shout out to my bud Wyatt who passed me the Faust.

The Group - Say Girl
only problem is..... no cover!!
Even went back to the scene of the crime to look again. Nuthin'
If anyone's holding an extra cover, holler!!!
This was booted a while ago (last year?), so you could get a serviceable cover this way if you want.
Good to know. Thanks!
nice. 225 is totally reasonable for that record in that condition. i think it usually goes for 300-400+. i still need that elastic rock, holleur if you feel like a trade.
I don't know what to make of it.
Sick! Even without a cover that is a major come-up!
Near Mint Epiphone Les Paul Classic Transparent Black Quilt Top from Craigslist. Came with amp, strap, stand and cord all like new. My first solid-body guitar since the 90s. A real treat to play.
i would buy that record just for the look of the label. looks insane. great music too.
It gets a little interesting at 30 seconds...
Great find! The one and only record from Iran I have in my collection is Pari Zangeneh.
Did some research before departing and discovered that the retro / second hand bug has recently hit Bangkok with a number of vintage clothing stores opening and quite a few record shops. Unlike the stores I had been to previously in BK which were filthy dirty, the new ones (to me at least) are located in malls with air con and other mod cons.
All are pretty easy to find, in fact through googling I found an article that listed all the shops that I visited.
Didn't find tonnes of stuff but a few things that made it worthwhile. Still waiting on a package of Thai funk 45's to arrive as well so more details of them when I get them.
First some pics of the stores. If you want any specific details just drop me a pm.

Records to follow:
By markod at 2012-08-23
Belair - Relax, you're Soaking it in - Odd place to find this in demand private press US jazz LP. Contains the great hypnotic track Samba for a Cold Warrior which I put on my last Funk Around the World cd.
Goblin - Suspira / Death Valzer 45 - One shop had a tonne of Jap 45's but this was the only one worth picking up.

Chuco Valdes - Tema de Chaka - Great latin jazz from ex leader of Irakere

70's TV Themes - I came across a lot of these Jap Film comps in BK. This one looked the most interesting with versions of Three Days of the Condor and Bullitt.
Lord Sitar - ST - Great exploito sitar grooves.

Peter Thomas - Organic - More cool covers from the German maestro!

That's crazy great. Kiddie record?
In the olden days everything was priced $2.10-4.20.
I was bemoaning the fact that now their prices are higher than mine.
Then I found this* for under $3.00:
Out of tune childrens choir with a free jazz group and electronics and a real vocalist.
Listening now.
*Not my image, my cover is VG.
That's a great record - score!
Love that track from the Highland Hits above - thank you for sharing.
still waiting on some stuff to make a proper final finds post before the twins arrive
Holy shit
where you see some $1K+ psych records and weird acid archives type stuff a ways down, many of them (but not all) are weird 80's import/reissue/bootlegs (in and of themselves not easy to locate). but some are the real deal too. [spot the 'OG' Rockadelics!]. I had a very fruitful run in with a dedicated private press / obscure prog / hard psych collector who was selling off his goodies for reasonable $.
the rest is the usual mishmosh, but youll see many soul/disco gems, they are all from one ex(deceased) 70's radio DJ's collection
That Moses album is probably the heaviest Danish psych record.
Bert did have great taste (it was a woman actually, apparently semi-militant / activist soul DJ in the 70s and 80s), but actually these are the winners i pulled out of 140 boxes i went thru over 6 months. Bert kinda hoarded everything related to soul and disco, and that included multiples of lionel richie, and unfortunately super skated oldies. if it was pre 1970, there was a 50/50 chance it was almost unplayable, so you had to check everything.
Some 45's
Johnny Nash - groovy feeling - JAD
Spoonbread - I'd like to make it with you - stang
Sam & Dave - I got everything I need - Stax
And a few other easy listening jernts.
.
You guys are killing it! I've scored tons of new stuff lately and with a wide variety of sounds...
Now I gotta find the time to listen to it all!
