Doesn't have to be the rarest, more like the one's you keep on going back to- Tough one for me cause I got so many records this year so I'm gonna go with some 45's.

  1. Curtis Green- I just gotta get down
  2. The Four Mints- row my boat
  3. Ruby Andrews- can you get away
  4. Sly Slick and Wicked- sho nuff
  5. Delilah Moore- ooh-wee baby

    This year was not that good in the "finds" for me, but anyway these are the better ones:





    J.J. Johnson - Willie Dynamite ost

    Sambrasa Trio - Em som maior: cool & raer brazilian bossa

    Gila - s/t - nice psyche/prog/kraut

    Francis Lai - L'aventure c'est l'aventure ost: fantastic funky soundtrack

    The Duke of Burlington - Flash



    I only hope '06 can bring better finds.











    Peace

    Off the top:

    Arthur Verocai S/T - This album is exactly what keeps me digging, and more than that listening and creating music. Its absolutely beautiful.

    24 Carat Black - More for the fact that it was a Heatrock (tm), though the music itself is very good soul-funk that i dont have to tell strutters about.

    Heath Brothers - Marchin On - Finally.

    Janko Nilovic - Rhythmes Contemporains - might have been from 04, but i go back and listen to this all the time. Its a big inspiration for me, music wise.


    A bunch of other things that i got this year really do it for me. Cant think of most of them though.

    Yeah but it was a longtime white whale for me, so I did rare impulse BUY IT NOW. I think it's more like a $60-$75 record but the one I got was in perfect shape, still in (opened) shrinkwrap. $20-$25 is damn good!
