here's a cut-n-paste of my western swing last week:
Hey yall here's some pics from my swingin' boat party last week.
I mean, my leisurely vacation in the Bay Area.
beautiful SF
Record kingpins Cool Chris and Justin Torres
Jake One in action
Took some time to appreciate a gorgeous sunset after a productive day of digging
And now, the finds (well, some of the more interesting ones)
(jazz hands central)
(this 10" was the only record of note in a mostly white jazz snoozefest we found in a confederate flag-draped trailer park collection kept by a couple of well-intentioned meth heads)
(An unknown summer camp record I scored off Chris with one killer track of soulful folk)
(top THAT for greasy activator cover action)
(NYers can holler at me for copies of this one... could only grab a couple though. one of the best sweet soul tracks I've heard in a long time)
this is coming in the mail shortly. I'm very excited. I'm a sucker for good highlife.
it's not highlife. mandingue stuff from guinea- quite different style. very nice stuff though. echoey guitars recorded most likely with a microphone hanging from an echo chamber- crappy quality- but the version of Samba will make up for it. enjoy.
Hit the streets for the first time in a few weeks.....slim pickings... Rare local Cali press of beat/hippie poet Local Dallas Free Jazz LP by Dennis Gonzalez French Canadian LP by Pauline Julien Esso Steel Band with cuts like "Shaft", "What's Goin' On" and "Soul Train".

Samba is stunning... Super Boiro Band LPs are great. I need to work on finding myself a copy of this one.
Got this at the local shop today, along with some moder. The above seems to have a tune on it that sounds like an earlier jazzy tune with an intro reminiscent of the song Superfly on One Tooth Grin on the intro. Good stuff! Vibes galore.
I got inspired by the "Non Raers You Slept On Post" & went & copped some of them this morning, I'm not disappointed. Anyways, The first ones up to the Sonny Simmons were courtesy of hcrink on a set sale, thanks. The BB King was the sole midweek find & the rest was what I got this morning. Always nice to replace cassettes with records which is what a couple of them are. The 45s are Brian Auger Happiness/Inner City Blues & Simon Dupree Part Of My Past/This Story Never Ends. I've been flicking past Simon Dupree 45s for ever & when SoulOnIce posted that LP I thought I better check it The LP that's blacked out between Small Faces & Spirit is Jimmy Smith Mojo Workin'. I swapped that Joe Tex with the guy at the listening station beside me for a Yardbirds Greatest Hits I was going to pick up.
A few weekday + this morning finds. A good day for these parts. I have been playing Sparky the Piano for people all day and that's probably the one I can't get enough of. If someone could tell me what old schol hh song says at the end "Your time is up I will no longer Play.. For.. You" I would appreciate it. Racking my brain all day. If that isn't ringing a bell I will ul it.
All from the same regular spot, out of nowhere as these things will sometimes happen:
Tons of nice shit here, a few heavy wants scratched off the mental list. Ohio Players superpak is even a long time want, at least, I was always frustrated that neither of those budget comps ("Early Impressions" etc) of their 60's work for Compass ever seemed to show up...this one is a double LP set with all of that shit, and the vinyl is mint. Sometimes budget records are the hook up. I passed over later reissues of that Don & Dewey set a few times, hoping to find the 1970 "OG." I'm glad I waited, cause it's a really quality press, super heavy vinyl with a deep groove and dope old school Specialty label. More than worth tracking down for any R&B headz. Rezillos I've wanted for years, such a cool album. Real headz know, etc. Seeing the Montclairs & Howard Tate appear in a spot I'm in 3 times a week had my eyes popping out of my head. Good timing on my part, I know that shit wouldn't have lasted the weekend.
