Bought them last winter back East in an old Western wheat town. Just got them unpacked and was pleased to find all the best titles there.
But the ones I have been listening to this morning are all mid 80s synth. Lots of Walter Murphy. Straight rip offs of Miami Vice theme and Beverly Hills Cops. (Can I call that stuff modern soul?)
Also finding lots of disco and boogie cuts.
Also found a bluegrass one by Arthur Smith, an important bluegrasser, but of no interest to anyone, not even me. Too generic.
I got a bunch of those Valentino library lp's from Academy dollarbins a few years ago...I kinda cherry picked the funky ones. Not sure why they were a dollar but I wasn't complaining! I'm sure we probably have a lot of the same ones...if I recall correctly some of them are produced by Walter Murphy of "California Strut" and "Fifth Of Beethoven" fame. Oh Wait, you already mentioned that.
I love that Hedzoleh Soundz!!!! Does Masekela have anything else that comes close? I've heard some other stuff by him and thought it was kind of cheesy, but it was from a much later period than that LP.

He has his moments but, yeah, there is a lot of in-crowd/now-sound cheese among them. This one is the best. Other than that I own "Grrrr..." (which he signed a few years ago after a show at the Catalina in L.A.), the black self-titled one from '69 and "Emancipation". Fela's involvement with this record seems to be the magic touch. 'Grazin In The Grass' is classic but I can't say I ride for much outside that and the political activism.
havent had much to be proud of this summer as ive been trying out my hand and antique flipping...but all of the sudden, the end of summer just dropped a huge bounty into my life

Horseleech: That's the geography works here.
I went to a hippy grocery/ health food store and found these. Good prices too.
+ this thing (not my pic):

Thanks to crabmongerfunk for the recommendation (last month's Finds) on the Sam Rivers.

"I Am Not Afraid"
"Home is Where the Music Is"
"The Boys are Doing It"
"Colonial Man"
Yes this is crucial. I did a late night dubby edit of it on this: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/mesdames-yo/492426-01/
You can fund a major digging trip when you flip that Ricardo Marrero. I gotta' get out in the field a lot more like I used to. Great score!
feels pretty good to be back in the game.
