    Ditto. Don't need to listen to Afro Rock again. Not a huge library fan overall. Weaksauce.

    K.

    yeah, libraries are soooooo 2002!

    I mean it's good, but for the price, it's not that good.
    Isn't there a different cover of this?

    you might be thinking of "Boss Soul"

    800 bucks is beyong rock smokin' on this though.

    Soul Expedition
    Milton Wright-Spaced
    Danser's Inferno

    all are "ok", but imo not worth the price they usually go for. The Bobby Boyd LP on Tigerlily sounded pretty boring to me too, but I haven't heard the whole thing

    Yeah, I just realized that Schnipper did a review of that in one of the old volumes ISH.

    Damn, $800?!
    I can't hate though. If you got it like that...

    There are sooooo many horrible records in all genres that sell in the hundreds that this thread will just barely scratch the surface. I suppose it's funny to watch people defend some of them cause they got duped into shelling out for one or two, but still.

    J**f,

    Yeah, i wouldn't spend that cash on it - not really spend cash on US funk 45's anymore....everybody's reality is different.

    Boss Soul ain't worth what it goes for either. But this one (Jujus alchemy for blues) is a great album, just not worth the going rate. But just for the record (pun intended), what would a $800 record that most agreed was worth the money sound like?

    As far as I'm concerned a "worth it" $800 record would have to come with seeds to grow a money tree. I mean, there is an absolutely endless[/b] amount of great records for under $50 if one broadens their tastes.

    a few i can think of:

    rhythm machine LP
    dr hooker (?... i think its outstanding)
    guitar ray on shagg (okay so its under $800 but only by a bill)
    everything on the shrine label imo
    moses dillard LP
    vanguards "good time" 45 on lamp
    chico lamarr on fuller
    halo on marshall/dyco (shit is bonkers... both sides)
    natural impulse on n.i. (shit is bonkers... both sides)
    calvin grayson on in
    eddie foster on in
    soul communicaters on fee bee (its under $800 but only by a bill 1/2)
    troy dodds on el camino
    johnnie elby on cvm (meaty )
    natural four "hanging/12 months" on boola-boola

  • if one broadens their tastes.

    Can I make a quick mention for 87% of the 'random rap' records that seem to sell upwards of $200?
    Obviously, there's a bunch that (in my eyes) are dope... but there's a LOT that are utter shite.

    not quite $200, but I see it regularly fetch +$130.....for one good cut...

    Elaine Delmar "Sneakin Up On You" - few years ago dealers were asking ??80-??100....To me there's the title track which is good but no more than that and then there's nothing else about that album. Naturally it has come down in price.

    The old Jamaican dudes around here still get hyphy for "ready ready Love" which is the track of the LP IMO.

    Couldn't really hear what made this LP so in-demand.

    it's got a really sick ballad that got a couple of my older Jamaican friends in a tizzy, but I don't think that's why it sells.



    b/w



    I have a copy if anyone's interested
