Just back from New Year in Amsterdam. Had a great time in one of my favourite cities. Shame it poured with rain all New Years Eve.
Anyway went to all the usual haunts in Amsterdam and a day trip to Rotterdam.
Came back with the following:
The first picture were Xmas presents from kind relatives
Mladen Gutesha - Und - Been after an original press of this LP ever since Grope played it to me about ten years ago. As he siad at the time, try searching the internet for a record called "and!" Until then I'll have to make do with this reissue.
Joy Unlimited - Instrumental Impressions - Reissue of a super rare German library.
Cults Percussion Ensemble - Great reissue from Trunk Records whivh is probably well known to everyone here.

Comments
You heard it at my place and didn't like it... haha. I think it's great. I'm glad I found a cheap copy two years ago.
GREAT FINDS!!!
nice finds Mark
Sorry I can't share your enthusiasm for this Portland band.
I'd have to go with any thing Linda Tillery related, also Isis ahead of BY.
I crossed paths with some of the members back in the days.
When this was at the height of it's value I was finding and selling it on the regular.
I called one of the members to see if she had any back stock.
Right off she started yelling at me that I owed her money, if I sold any copies I had to pay her, if DJs in Japan were spinning it they had to pay her.
Talked to another members mom who made it clear that her name was not to spoken and she hadn't seen or heard from her in years.
I'd say 99% of artist I have contacted have been thrilled that someone found one of their old records and liked it.
Not BY.
Could be a Bosworth title in disguise.
Went into my local dig last week just as a guy was trading some Krautrock and stuff for a copy of the Haunted. I grabbed some of it.
The Elis and Tom is really great.
Nice haul! That Lightmen lp, i got the two reissued lp's. Is that a full third lp or just other artwork? What year is it from?
Their OG lp's seem impossible to get...
Leon
Leon,
the Lightmen is not what I expected, it's much better. I always thought it was a later LP from 76 or something, but no it's their 2nd from 71' ( Judnell 1002). It's recorded 1 yr after the first and has all the raw psyck/free grit of the first and starts leaning towards the sounds of the later. Brought a smile to my eyes...
Joe Thomas-joy of cooking
John Thomas-devil dance
Hancock-thrust
Sahib Shihab-seeds
Joe Henderson-montara
Albino Gorilla
Chico O farrill-Latin Roots

I managed to get around a bit in India and dig but the majority of these records were found at a great little record store in a flea market near the central station in Chennai (if anyone wants some advice on digging in Tamil Nadu get in touch with me). I was able to tick off a few wants for cheap, all of these were 200 rupee each (about $4nz), except the gumnaam which was about 1000. The guys know what sells and is popular overseas (ananda shankar, jazz raga style etc) and so ones like that are more expensive - it's still a great opportunity to find cool stuff though.
And some Tamil stuff:
Ginger Baker - Stratavarious
Really cool record with some straight afrobeat cuts from his Fela era.
Galt MacDermot - Woman is Sweeter OST with the Woo Hah break. Kinda neat
+ Gil Scott Heron, Themes library 'Freedom Road' featuring Alan Parker, Brian Bennett and Alan Hawkshaw, some various anime ost's and a Japanese cop show ost
HAHA Yeah! Too bad they're reissues tho!
The tums remain a major want because unfortunately the bottle is empty...
Mixture of flea market and cheap store finds around PA. It was a very random January.
Blaze Foley's live recordings are pretty cool but as many of you probably know the 80s production on his LP is pretty terrible.
Anyone have any info on Jim Bartow? I found THIS blog post about him being a college professor and having a second record as well. This is a really cool album!
John And Michael - Mellow Soft Music EP - Rare, but very good folk music.
Bill Botten ?????? Its All A Part Of Being In Love / Good Lovins Hard To Find - Nice soul!
Debra Ginsberg - Another Chance Tomorrow - Jazzy modern soul
Orange Lake Drive - Rare Thing
Reginald O'Neal Cuie ?????? I Can Do All Things Trough Christ Jesus Which Strengthen Me - Very nice gospel funk-soul!!
Johnnie Lyles - Mommie And Daddy's (Doing The Latest Dance) - boogie!
Sarah Dash - Oo-La-La (Kirshner, 1980)
3 Times Dope - Original Stylin' (Arista, 1989)
The Dells - There Is (Cadet, 1968)
Grootna - S/T (Columbia, 1971)
Spitballs - S/T (Beserkley, 1978)
Mainhorse - S/T (Import Records, 1971)
N.W.A. - Greatest Hits 2Lp (Ruthless, 2003 Re-issue)
New Birth - Ain't No Big Thing, But It's Growing (RCA, 1971)
Madvillian - Money Folder / America's Most Blunted 12" (Stones Throw, 2003)
The Smoke - S/T (Sidewalk, 1968)
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles - Going To A Go-Go (Tamla, 1965)
Pathetique - Going Nowhere Fast (self-released, 198?)
JD & The Evil's Dynamite Band - Explodes Across The Nation (Soul Fire, 2001)
It's probably my favorite from the lot!
Paulo Diniz - s/t 1974 - cover is falling apart, but I've been wanting this one for a while, his funkiest album by far. Don't know what Gerson 'King' Combo has to do with it, but his photo is on the back!
Chakachas - Jungle Fever - I never go looking for this type of stuff down here, usually it's too pricey. But this one was wedged into the samba section, and it was cheap.
Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Mudei de Ideia - the OG to replace the 2nd pressing I've had forever.
Paulinho Boca de Cantor - Bom de Chinfra e Bom de Amor (or it s/t?) 1979 - speaking of solo debuts, this was his first one after Os Novos Baianos disbanded.
how are those two? look cool
New Heavenly Blue - Educated Homegrown (RCA, 1970)
that joint is real nice. havent pulled it out in a long while
Los Zafiros - Saw a copy in someones finds on Waxi which remined me that a local shop had this cheap. Great Cuban vocals with one cool bossa number.
Gil Evans - Usual mix of Hendrix covers including Fire and Little Wing found at pop up shop.
C & K Vocal - Generation. From the same pop up shop. Great beats, drums high in the mix, cool vocals.
Cabildo's Three - Yuxtaposition - Reissue of Italian library.
Eero Koivistoinen Quartet - Labyrinth - Rare euro jazz on Finnish Love label. Great acoustic jazz.
Babs Robert & The Love Planet - Belgian jazz as featured on one of Jazzman's spirtual jazz releases.
Terumasa Hino Quartet - Hi-Nology - Jap jazz
Official music of the Montreal Olympics - One library style track.
Rune Gustafsson - Rune at the Top - Coll covers from Swedisg guitarist inc California Soul.
Joe Malinga - Tears for the Children of Soweto - SA Jazz!
Brigitte Fontaine - Comme a la Radio - Backed by The Art Ensemble of Chicago. Predictibly bonkers but great!
Soulbrass Inc - Live - Dutch session featuring Hans Dulfer from 1969 recorded in Amsterdam.
East Coast - ST - Long time funk want found at today's fair. Features a young Gwen Guthrie & Larry Blackmon.

Richard Evans - Dealing with Hard Times
Ray Bloch - Hits of 69

Morgana King - Like a Seed - Great cover of the Kenny Rankin tune and one of my all time fav folk funk tracks. Great to have on 45.

Found in my stacks, 3 private press. Percy Smith, very cool. KC Humphries Sealed and rare real person, Bob Desper.
The West End is Taana Gardner, the Archie Bell is Sealed as is the Edwin Starr on Pickwick and a few others.
I rarely find cool Latin records out here so I was pleased to see these walk through the doors.
Got 5 crates from an old hippie, SSW in town. 2 crates went to Goodwill, 2 went to the 5 for $10 bin, and one got priced up. The GSH is the cream of the crop unless you are into classic rock bootlegs.
