Just got back this morning from a week in New Orleans at a mate wedding and digging for records.Had a great time and New Orleans is a cool perty town. I was however, considering its musical heritage, a little disappointed with the record stores. having said this I still managed to come home with a bag of records.Gotta say a big thank you to Ari who is a local and a Soulstrutter who really went out of his way to show me around. I really appreciate it!!If anyone has any info on any of these particularly the 45's then let me know (value, history, etc)LP'sManaged to trade around 20 Vulture classics (inc Big Jim H's!!) for the the following three LP's, the rest were bought around town.Manu Dibango - Kusini - Great rare private press soundtrack - doubleThe Meters - StruttinThe Meters - Look-Ka Py PyCurtis Amy - Mustang - Really solid funky jazz LP from start to finish - doubleBilly Taylor - OK Billy - One cool funk track on here - doubleAl Hirt - Soul in the Horn - De la Soul Sample plus othe bits - doubleLuis Gasca - Collage - Funky latin JazzBobby Hutcherson - Montara - Another great funky latin LP101 Strings - Sounds of Today - Psych sitar tracks ala Animated Egg - doubleSoundtrack - The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob - Found 2 sealed copies - doubleManolo Gas - A Todo Gas - Spanish funker, his best LP, sealed - doubleGuerra 78 - Soul Makossa - Funky latin LPFound 4 sealed copies of a Guatemalan psych latin funk LP that is going to be huge.

    Moon People - land of Love / Revolt - Speed - 3 copies

    The Moon People (los astronautas) is the instrumental section of the Latin Blues Band. I forget which song 'land of love' is the instrumental of though - 'take a trip' maybe? I like both bands.

    Roy Budd - Carter / Play Thing - DJM Records, white label promo

    Is this the Get Carter theme?

    Manu Dibango - Kusini - Great rare private press soundtrack - double

    So you traded instead of stepping up to the $200 price tag huh?? (saw that on the wall a few weeks ago )

    $200 is a fair price for that I would say. No?

    outside of the budd all of those are good records but not hard to find. i would say, grouping them up, they are worth, roughly, $15 a piece. maybe you can say $20 but i wouldnt...

    good records though! still would like to make it to eddies...

    Soul Survivors - Expressway to your Heart / Hey Gyp - Crimson records

    Hip blue-eyed soul group, in the manner of the Rascals. "Expressway" was their biggest hit (1967).

    HI Fi White - Bulldog - Sandman

    Crossdressing X-rated comedian from Chicago who was also a pretty good soul singer. I believe this single is from '72 (he died in '90).

    AC Reed - Boogaloo Tramp - Nike - 2 copies

    Classic soul-blues instrumental from Chicago, ca. late sixties, but don't sleep on the A-side, "Talking About My Friends," which was a local hit.

    Bull and the Matadors - The Funk Judge - Toodlin' Town

    One of several songs cashing in on 1968's "here comes the judge" craze. This was a soul hit that crossed over pop.

    I managed to offload some dolar bin stuff from the UK which I have multiple copies of and one or two tougher pieces in exchange for the Kusini and the Meters. I already have the Kusini but I was on a tight schedule so just grabbed the first couple of things I saw. As to condition it plays and looks great.

    Thanks for the help with the 45's. Didn't think I had anything mind shattering but I was really happy to find the Roy Budd (yes it is the theme from Get Carter)
