Wet Panty is a slow ska/rocksteady track with him singing get out my life girl over and over for the first 30 secs and then talking about her STDs. (yer panties wet but it ain't sweat)

I just know that Liquidator as a classic ska tune but it could well be a Lalo cover.

SoulOnIce · February 2006

Interesting that the Equals is on Bang - I have it pressed
on Shout, of course another of Bert Berns' labels...I'd assume
the Bang came first...maybe...dope tune regardless.

TheMack · February 2006

this is what my face looked like when i saw bigspliffs finds

SoulOnIce · February 2006

anyway, here's some stuff I copped today -
strangely, I found the Roach & Poets at 2 different stores,
even though they go together well. Last Poets was $1.99 at a
store where most things are expensive

and that cover is
so ill I had to give it avatar status. Album is sick, too - best I've
heard by them. Both 5 Americans albums I've taken a chance on have
some really good shit on them, if you are into 60's beat stuff...
TX boys aping the UK beat style with their own rootsy twist...
Max Roach needs no comment. It was up on the wall, out of nowhere at
a spot I hit like 4 times a week...I said

and grabbed that ish quick.

Question for the Real Headz...the Jimmy Scott that is on this Melvin
Sparks LP and also has solo shit on Westbound is not the diminuitive
Jazz singer with the crazy almost female vocal range who recorded for Savoy, right??

DJPrestige · February 2006

hey spliff you batty boy. nice work.

troubleman · February 2006

I just know that Liquidator as a classic ska tune but it could well be a Lalo cover.

liquidator is a jamaican standard, and is actually one of the raer examples of a jamaican tune getting discovered by americans and turned into an american radio hit (staples singer's "i'll take you there") rather than the other way around.

it has nothing to do with lalo's spyspoof ost.

SPLIFF- did you get that winslow 12" at the same place as the JA 45's?

gir · February 2006

I was just about to post this. I copped this like a month ago.

BigSpliff · February 2006

SPLIFF- did you get that winslow 12" at the same place as the JA 45's?

Kinda. Same place but it's basically all shit from estate auctions in BK/Q/LI/NJ area and I got the Winslow a couple of years ago. The names and melted-on label do point to a possible Windies connection but it says Kew Gdns, Queens on there which is highly unusual.

BigSpliff · February 2006

Don't make me take pics of 12s

A couple of the Soca ones are ass but the cover pics are hott.

Medium_Dude · February 2006

Aaron · February 2006

Don't know if this qualifies as a score (the last one went for $90), but I just won a Mighty Fire - Love Fantasy 12" for $18.

Magnanimous as always, 32K in Canada. The version of Rise is better, but doesn't have the Biggie break... now that would be Hot Soca.

Unknown · February 2006

Don't play those 45's at Grandma's.

Swayze · February 2006
