    Just in case anyone else wants to hear it, this is it (thanks to we_eat_trains).

  • First time I heard that was from a Gilles Peterson show I taped, I stopped the car and listened to it 5,6 times then again as soon as then when I picked up the wife.

    Its one of the most beautiful records I've heard, deep as fuck and I'd like to think that the dude was singing from experience....

    $103 seems a good price to me.

    I thought that was cheap seeing how many are asking for it. Looks like some need to keep their saved search game tighter.

    anyway, if anyone comes across a copy of the white labeled one with Ray Dobards name on it thats an extra for you please let me know. i have the other three labels but need that one for completion purposes.

    thanks!

    yeah he used two Bay records that i know of so far... the ones they used for the recordings (as far as i was told) are from me. the Dorando and the Lonnie Hewitt.

    ...and maybe i was wrong on the release month but i mentioned this in a previous post in this thread... the new tracks are pretty nice. my opinion: the releases he had are the ones that were the best. however there are first takes on the Legs/Let my people tunes that are pretty dope. meeting up with Dorando this week to do a follow up interview for the album. should be good.

  • Hey, let me know if you need a gaffer homie.

  • the new tracks are pretty nice. my opinion: the releases he had are the ones that were the best. however there are first takes on the Legs/Let my people tunes that are pretty dope.

    I can vouch for this. A couple of the unreleased sides are pretty amazing and, to me, better than some of the stuff that came out (e.g., the Ocampo 45).

    J, thanks so much for bringing this music and Dorando's story to light. Now if only you could get him to talk about his wild years....
