    I've been sick most of the week with some kinda flu hybrid. I went a little overboard the other day and thought I could drive to this guys place (right down the street) to check his basement records. I made it there AND made it through the records, bought the few things I wanted from the 2 crates, rolled out toward my car, turned the corner, stopped, dropped, and puked. 3 Times in a row. Then I got in my car, drove home and crashed.

    The car?


    I've gone into basement record buys feeling fine to begin with, and still puked. It's all about the surgical mask and gloves...

    nah not the car, just passed out/crashed. If I had crashed the car right after puking and feeling normal again, it would just be straight comical.

    Some nice ones today..

    Fatback Band - People Music

    Big Maybelle - Saga of the Good Life & Hard Times (Rojac) - warped, but I'm hoping Fatback can work his magic on it

    Greg Adams - Koolin Out (Hip City) - I haven't cracked the seal on this one, but it looks like a private press. Covers of "Little Bee's Poems", "Mr. PC" and others by Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson. Looks cool.

    and 3 10"(!) [/b] disco singles
    - Frankie Valli - "Boomerang"
    - Richard Hewson Orch. - "Love For Hire"
    - More - "Toga"

    I caught a Gordon's as well but with no cover:

    I also got the Shuggie jernt with "Strawberry Letter", some dollar bin modern soul stuff (mediocre shit, really) and a grip of "new rap" records (club stuff, bay,southern and "backpack" joints when I wento Las Vegas and visited the Hip-Hopsite store)

    That Clarence Reid is

    And cosign on Duke Pearson- phantom. One of my favorite things I've gotten in the last couple weeks, beautiful record.

    Rey- DIE! What kind of record store would price those 2 bucks each? Must've been a swapmeet/thrift find I assume.
  • SwayzeSwayze 14,705 Posts
    That Clarence Reid is

    Local news is someone in Chi-town is trying to reissue the Deep City stuff. So many great reid tunes on that label. Him and Wille Clarke defined the Miami sound.

    That Clarence Reid is

    somehow fate really smiled upon me this week, I got that one and[/b] "Running Water" both in the span of 3 days, with a total of around $9 invested. I might like "Running Water" even more, it's crazy how "Dancin'" is mostly covers, but that one is all originals...it's fantastic, like singer-songwriter funk...

    It's a top secret record spot. They regularly price that heat at $2 a piece.
