Some of my friends came up huge this summer two. Big ups to my man Sc*tt who found two copies of Burning Desire at a garage sale, and to Big Meaty who went balls out in Mendota.
keeping my fingers crossed.
THIS IS SUPER FOLLISH! What the fuck. Of course, the one day I'm in the Bay and I say, "I'm sick of records. I've spent so much money and time. I'ma go fuck with some broads" and this pops up in the Amoeba dollar bin! lol.
Those are dope man.
*Hugely* under-rated 45 on the De-Vel label - same as Madeline & the Monticellos. A superb mid-tempo funk cover that needs more playin'. Top scoop, fellow!
nothing crazy so far
lou donaldson - hot dog
sheba baby - OST

Also pleased as punch I found:

Boogaloo Combo Con Muy Ritmo (Hot pants mean hammond version)
Geraldo Pino Power to the People 7' (huge afro funk with breakdown a la Tighten up))
That was a sweet summer record-wise, hope the rest of the year will stay on this level!
its's cool....depends on your tastes. not crazy...rare though... got one break cut.....other than that..its' OK to me. the break is nice though.
yo legend whats this about???
Both for trade credit. Went to pick up Skull Snaps from a local shop and found Alice Babs on the floor for 14e. It was a good day.
Two Soulstrut mail-outs have become the soundtrack to my summer - Junior Mance's Touch and R Lewis' Mother Nature's Son.
Wu-wei. Indeed.
My "best find" was a 18-record set of the anonymous "Father John Doe" talking. Psycho dude hollering on about God and the drink. Next level. I've actually read the published works by Father John, and have some time invested in this, uhh, genre of record, but I had no idea this set existed. On the SMT Guild label. I guess this would be an appropriate time for the :Anyone? Dante?: graemlin, no?
Best find;
Terje Rypdal - "Bleak House"
for roughly $11 (750 kr.)
