Just pulled these out of the thrift store up the street, for a total of $5:
Cheryl Lynn - Got to Be Real - Columbia OG 12" unplayed Cameo - Secret Omen - Chocolate City LP 1979 2 Live Crew - C'Mon Babe - Luke Skyywalker promo 12" 2 Live Crew - Funk Shop/Euro Ultimixx - Luke Skyywalker 12" Kellee Patterson - Let Go, Let Go - Shady Brook promo 12" 1979 Anquette - Throw the P - Luke Skyywalker 12" Egyptian Lover - Egypt, Egypt - Freak Beat OG 12" Nocera - Summertime, Summertime - Sleeping Bag promo 7"

and in the mail: Cecil Taylor- Conquistador! LP (stereo, blue/white Liberty labels) Ornette Coleman- Ornette on Tenor LP (stereo, white fan labels)
has anyone seen that Ornette LP with white fan labels before? Everything I've seen/read leads me to believe it doesn't exist...
it's an elementary stage band from jersey back in the 70s. never heard one this good--and i've heard many stage band records--it's heavy on the funk. so heavy on the funk with tons of breaks on almost every track! incredible! ranks right up there (or might even surpass) kashmir stage band--i'm serious--it's that good!
12"s that you can't read--one is a biz markie 12" on cold chillin' for mudfoot/something for the radio and dynamix II-- don't touch that dial. both promos.

rockadelic--no, no music on the drug abuse lp. all just spoken testimonies from a guy on his days of heavy druggin'. good for samples perhaps though and a thoroughly weird listen.
neverenough-- no--not rinked--it's in vg shape (though to some more anal types i guess vg is rinked). better than one of my other copies--but not as good as the euro press i found. all of my copies have been found at thrifts. finding a minty by cymande is def. hard. everyone loved them and played them a lot at parties i'd imagine.

Strangely enough, I've found a bunch of copies that have been in horrible condition except for "Bra". It's always puzzling to me, despite the fact that this album is so much more than just "Bra".
lp's ramsey lewis: funky serenity / upendo ni pamoja 2lp (pic shows as seperate though) ramsey lewis: them changes joe simon: drowning in the sea of love supremes: more hits by the supremes intruders: greatest hits (gamble) pharoah sanders with the latin jazz quintet: spotlight on (up front) esquires: get on up and get away (bunky) real clean copy, but top seam is split all the way across...
...spent too much cash on these, but it was fun nontheless.
jd blackfoot - ultimate prophecy lp got a couple hard ass psych tunes for $.50 and something called storyville jazz band this any good? haven't played it yet. and couple other little things for resale
middle lp is some hot christian moder soul shit called rev. hubert powell & the gospel truth from 82 out of Philly on sweet-rain label featuring a lot of help from some sugar hill house band cats (skip mcdonald, doug winbush & cecil powell)
shit is double qtr pounder super sized with a diet fucking coke nice. never spotted another one and google is stumped
weldon irvine regrettable cover shape but i kill for don blackman joints (top & bottom seams split- i dig my careful tape job though, barely noticeable)
society of seven are just a bunch of creepy looking doofuses who threw a couple nice breaks in between some really bad cruise liner style gilbert o sullivan covers
this crappy computer won't display pictures so i can't see what anyone else got until i go to my weekday job...
i got-
-
-Obo Addy- Kukrudu (Avocet)
Went to school with OBO's son, Alex. Saw his father's Afro-Funk group many times growing up. Sick.
this in Portland? do you know if OBO's still around, doin his thing? I wasn't expecting this record to be quite so good- it's
Obo is still around. He plays infrequently with his troops Okropong/Kukrudu. Okropong plays trad African and features dancers. Kukrudu is his afro-beat band. Usually he plays a split show. Currently, he is teaching at Lewis and Clark College. Obo has been playing in the schools for close to 25 years. I first saw him drum in 7th grade at Harriet Tubman Middle School circa 1981. Truly, he is a master drummer.
Okropong[/b]
Obo has that shaman thing going where he can just take over a given setting. Several years ago, he was hired by some podunk school to teach drumming and just blew everyone's minds. Obo comes from a very famous musical family in Ghana and is steeped in very old ways of teaching. He applied this rigor and wisdom to these redneck kids with amazing results. Teachers reported that in Obo's wake behavior problems just stopped, the students' ability to concentrate rose steeply and the atmosphere of the school lightened considerably.
Obo on talking drum[/b]
My favorite time seeing Obo was at a friend's farm in Wilsonville, right on the Willamette river. Kukrudu played for several hours while we swam and ate barbeque. Sadly, his recordings do not reflect the power of his live show. African-American is his best release. I've told the guys from Antibalas that they need to get with this dude when they come to town cause he would smoke their asses. All for their own benefit.
2 copies of this came in the mail from Canada today.The douche-bag sent them wrapped in paper.No box,no envelope,no padding or extra cardbord.He just covered them up,addressed it and sent it.I couldn't freaking believe it.Of course the corners are scuffed and top seams totally split.I can't believe the vinyl survived unscathed...what a fucker!
tuff gong- do you have a spare of Roy Ayers "Vibrations" to part with? especially if it's a clean cover but beat lp? i have a mint lp but no cover. i tried to pm you but you aren't accepting pms.
Nothing Earth-shattering but this was the first time I've gone out looking for records in probably 2 months. Being broke is a mother:
Melvin Van Peebles - Sweet Sweetback's Baaadassss Song Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Vibrations [/b](I swear I have like 3 copies of this already but can't resist buying any copy I find) Joe Turner And His Blues Kings - Flip Flop And Fly 78 rpm Les McCann - Invitation To Openness Zapp - Zapp II Roger - The Many Facets Of Roger [/b] (both the Zapp and Roger albums were super clean...seems like I run across Zapp albums a lot but they're *always* beat to shit)

Cosmic Twins - Waterbearers
Any music on the "Drug Abuse" LP???
Is the Cymande rinked?
(Quite nice if you dig early boogie woogie jazz. Anyone know what
these sell for?)
Los Magneticos st LP
(Looks like a dope cuban funk record. Instead it's crazy 80's rock. One tune is labelled as tekno pop!??)
good for samples perhaps though and a thoroughly weird listen.
Strangely enough, I've found a bunch of copies that have been in horrible condition except for "Bra". It's always puzzling to me, despite the fact that this album is so much more than just "Bra".
best find was a mint j-rock streetwize LP in a clothes consignment shop near my house. and some other random hiphop joints.
The Dig Spot?
lp's
ramsey lewis: funky serenity / upendo ni pamoja 2lp (pic shows as seperate though)
ramsey lewis: them changes
joe simon: drowning in the sea of love
supremes: more hits by the supremes
intruders: greatest hits (gamble)
pharoah sanders with the latin jazz quintet: spotlight on (up front)
esquires: get on up and get away (bunky) real clean copy, but top seam is split all the way across...
...spent too much cash on these, but it was fun nontheless.
finally a copy in decent shape
both sides are good but this song in particular is especially
I love this label, real gritty stuff
and the kicker

Amongst some ok disco and funk stuff was an original pressing of this:
Approximate total cost: $0

Finally.
This one has made me adjust my opinion about ms Coltrane; beautiful stuff
spare, holler.
minted up, other one is for trade
NM- jay!
Broke now
have you heard her first two trio lps?
How is this...I've passed this up a couple of time. Also I just picked this one up on ebay Cal Tjader Soul Sauce a timeless classic.
Pick it up! It's no "acid" or "hard hands", but still a very good Barretto lp.
2 copies of this came in the mail from Canada today.The douche-bag sent them wrapped in paper.No box,no envelope,no padding or extra cardbord.He just covered them up,addressed it and sent it.I couldn't freaking believe it.Of course the corners are scuffed and top seams totally split.I can't believe the vinyl survived unscathed...what a fucker!
It has two strong latin funk tracks: "Power" and "right on".
do you have a spare of Roy Ayers "Vibrations" to part with? especially if it's a clean cover but beat lp? i have a mint lp but no cover. i tried to pm you but you aren't accepting pms.
