oh yeah, also picked up Jimmy Smith "A new sound a new star" bluenote on a whim. not sure if its valuable, not really sure how to tell. its mint, but im not sure what label info to look for. any help from jazzstrut?
A lot of pleasant surprises from unsuspected angles this week, besides the Aschrock hookup. The cheesy looking 'La Bamba' by Super Funky Discotheque/S. Van Holmen was a kronerbin gamble, but turned out to be a bona fide facemelter. The 21 minute b-side funk jammy called 'Lord Funk' = . Slinky James Brownish groove with horn riffing, organ noodling and group vocals. Didn't see that coming. Turns out it's El Chicles under an alias. This weeks top find, tied with Ted Moses.
Very dope record, as featured in this fun article about digging for Dutch funk, even if you can't read Dutch it's still interesting for the sound clips (though some of y'all might already be familiar with most of these records).

Gibbs best dub LP by FAR. Don't know what the story is behind this, but something very serious was happening the days they recorded/engineered this.
Kevin in Canada,
For good reason.
K.
possibly on Billingsgate?
Chicago based label that reissued a number of german rock and otherwise.
they also reissued the killer 1st album by the Scorpions which was dogged by those who've never heard it before on a post a couple weeks back.
yeah, I it's from around the time of it's original release.
