    have you tried hoctor yet? A few years ago I ordered a bunch of old store stock from them directly ('theme from black belt', 'corizon', 'gold coast'). Stay away from their cover of 'scorpio' and 'shaft' though.
    And to place an order you may need their catalog numbers if I am not mistaken.

    I have a record on Kimbo called LIFE Living is Fitness Exercise. A few chase funk, soul jazz, and psyche songs. Feel free to PM. 2 discs, one with instruction, one without.

    I actually did that and the lady acted like I was crazy. She said she was going to check and get back to me but never did. Wasn't much of a suprise. I left it alone after that.

    Now,

    SOMEONE PLAESE TO SELL ME JAZZ ON THE ROAD!

    yeah, i had those 45s. i didn't like them either. i want some lps.


    there are some super nice lps on hoctor. i downloaded their catalogue. the lps that they are offering are not that interesting. is there a complete hoctor discography online? i need to know some titles, numbers and musicians.

    Grop, be careful with Hoctor lp's. I'm sure you know this, but there are a lot of really bad ones. I found a giant box of Hoctor's and Statler's over this last summer and there were really very, very few solid ones. Some of the better one's are "Jazz in Focus", and "Jazz on the Road" on Hoctor - and the Frank Hatchette lp's on Statler. But, all these go for wayyy more $$ than they are worth IMO.

    There are also a lot of repeated cuts, and one or two track LPs...

    I've never seen a discog, or a list of musicians

    alright, this is what I did. I would not suggest everybody doing this though.
    When I called Hoctor they told me about their catalog which listed a complete discography (cat numbers, song titles, etc.). But they ONLY send them out to dance studios or theater houses. So I had to call up and pretend that I was running a jazz dance studio and I wanted the catalog. Two weeks later, I got it, made my order and was done. I threw out the book a few years ago, sorry.

    *even though they sell you old store stock, the pressing quality is poo, do not be suprised to hear a constant hiss in the recording.

    this probably explains the huge flood of those Gold Coast 45s last year. You don't think someone exhausted their stock on those?

    I'm trying to mint-up on one that I doubt either of you are talking about...

    But Grope, as has been said: you REALLY don't want the entire catalog... you would have wall-to-wall crap with a few gems sprinkled in...

    I'm sure there are some under the radar ones, but I'm not even sure it matters with the way people throw stupid money at any Hoctor record that gets to eBay. I've sold some REALLY sketchy ones for like $30-50
  • GropeGrope 2,970 Posts
    i know which ones i want.

    i think there are several good ones. i really enjoy he jazz rock usa. it's nice.

    The plot thickens....


    That's good news actually. I thought there were only a handful of one's like that.
