So you see guys/gals not knowing where to look in the bins....What are some go-to records that are cheap and almost always recommend to a stranger? Mine are Les McCann "Layers" and Milt Jackson "Olinga".

Add on.

    I never see Layers.

    Can't go wrong with Sun Goddess and Hot Buttered Soul,
    to name of few (of what is sure to be dozens of choices ha).

    Both Hot buttered soul, and Layers were lent, and never returned lol

    Michael Franks

    Art of Tea and Sleeping Gypsy

    Both of which should be easily sourced for $.50

    Layers isn't so cheap these days... 100% on the other two recommendations and while we're on Ramsey 'Another Voyage' is one that lives mostly in the cheap racks. The Rick Ruskin debut S/T I used to see for peanuts in the US and Canada although never here in London.

    Different versions of some of his big tracks with a nice cohesive stripped down sound.

    For Carmen alone. That track is awesome.

    Aww poop. When I was digitising tracks before putting my records into storage the only track I took off this was Slipping Into Darkness. Had a feeling there was more to the LP, but I was racing against the clock.



    b/w

    The Jose Feliciano with California Dreaming, George McCrae with I Get Lifted.

    Well I've been foolio enough to never even bother to pick it out of the racks. Always assumed it was a crappy comp but just listening to it now and I WAS WRONG. Carmen playing now - love that bass. Thanks Harvey and Ketan.

    Also, has the knownot asked for recommendations? Because I'm not signing up for this if I'm cold-calling these people with some HEY YOU CHECK THIS OUT YOU WILL LOVE THIS psycho talk

    WAR may be the kings of this topic. Sly Stone too.

    I don't really know what people are looking at anymore though. The whole experience is weird now.

    Woops, I didn't mean "Layers", I meant "Talk to the People" is the one I see fairly often. And I almost always recommend.

    Alic e Coltrane "Journey"......another one that is usually $15 or so, and worth every dollar....

    Grab that Cristo Redentor if you see it cheap. If you don't go ahead and pay the $10-20.

    When you say cheap, I think $1 to $3 records.

    When you say $15, I think expensive.

    I guess I strayed from my initial point.

    But what I meant was that dollar for dollar, it is worth it.

  • that roberta also does very little for me, and i am a huge fan of "feel like making love".

    Always enjoyed this LP. Ramsey is all around good stuff and you can usually find his stuff pretty cheap.

    Very good LP.

    Harvey's first 3-4 LP are all good.

    Co-sign on Layers. Got my copy from Delay probably about 15 years ago, in the same situation, "you need this".
    Now it is a record I buy every time I see it and pass off to a friend who hasn't heard it. I'm probably sitting on three copies right now .



    A new one to add is Hugh Masekela 'Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz':
