Mercury & Capitol are the kings of 70's obscure releases....
This is a real nice Donny Hathaway meets Gil-Scott Heron vocal LP with a couple of instrumentals....maybe slightly on the pop/orchestrated side but no more so than "What's Going On".
I had insomnia all night and thus was able to make it to the flea market nice and early this morning, before it started raining. I found a lot of 45s and a bunch of 12" 80's classics (hip hop, disco, electro). Most of the 45s were unsleeved and thus off-condition, but most are playing nicely once I clean them. Irma Thomas - Wish Someone Would Care (ummm, best song ever?) Maceo & All King's Men - Got To Get'cha Parliaments - I Want To Testify Ruby Andrews - You Made A Believer Out Of Me Jan Bradley - Mama Didn't Lie Ruby Johnson - Come To Me Darling Young Hearts - I've Got Love For My Baby Lonnie Hewitt - I Gotta Keep My Bluff In (spent a buck on it on the off-chance it would play through the edge warp, but nah, it has a future as a bin dip receptacle) Toussaint McCall - Shimmy The Forum - Trip On Me plus a bunch more that may or may not clean up.
Am I the only one who thinks records sound better if you dig them off the concrete at 7 a.m. vs. waiting for the mailman to bring your newest ebay transaction (not that I don't partake in the latter myself)

No. I pop a boner everytime I go out in the field and pull something decent.

If they're scratched to sh*t from being on the concrete for so long, then no. Otherwise, yes.
friday afternoon 45's (not all in the best condition, unfortunately, but still playable) the dramatics - "whatcha see is whatcha get" sugar billy (garner) - "keep movin' on / sugar pie" ike and tina turner - "funkier that a mosquitoe's tweeter / proud mary" mary wells - "strange love / come to me" barrabas - "hi-jack" dyke and the blazers - "funky bull pts. 1 and 2" foster sylvers - "misdemeanor" faze-o - "riding high" lou donaldson - "everything i do gonh be funky (from now on)" william bell - "i forgot to be your lover / bring the curtains down" ruby andrews - "casanova (your playing days are over) / i just don't believe it" j.e. morgan - "who was it pts. 1 and 2" syl johnson - "kiss by kiss / one way ticket to nowhere" howard tate - "stop / shoot 'em all down" little sister - "you're the one pts. 1 and 2" charles wright and watts 103rd - "express yourself" donny hathaway - "this christmas"
Los Gorriones del Topo Chico- S/T LP (Normex)- sealed Mexican LP...anyone know anything about this? The Vibrations- Time Waits For No One LP (no label)- self-released Caribbean shit with reggae influences, a couple decent tunes, this will probably end up on ebay General Echo- 12 Inches of Pleasure LP (Greensleeves)- x-rated toasts over familiar Roots Radics riddims Yellowman- Rides Again LP (RAS)
and I got a slew of Latin LPs in the mail today from Lumin...thanks man! Here are a few highlights, it will take me awhile to listen to everything.
Some shit. All cheap. I have a lot of Cold Blood records, but I knew this was "the one" people wanted, and I finally found a copy for under $10... under $5 for that matter...anyway, SHIT IS FUNKY AS HELL "Kissing My Love" is a monster. Barbarella OST has some madness on it, although it's a pretty rough copy. Actually, that's an issue with most of this stuff...prolly why they were all around $3. Chris Smither is Poppy folk raer. Very nice record for any y'all folk headz like me.

i personally would have assigned The Chubbies an A, regardless of what that may mean on the price-o-meter.
Personally, I would've assigned them a chubbie in the A.
