Comments
I like his LP on Verve quite a bit, one of my fav
psychedelic pop joints. Looks like he's going for
pseudo-soul by the cover of that GRT joint, though.
Last Words is a terd of the highest terditude.
Luckily, the 2 good songs on it are the A & B sides
of an easy-to-cop 45.
I'd love to hear this.
mostly from this weekend, but some from last week.

Here are mine, i took a couple of these to Guzzo's record nerd listening night/weed fest 2006 and traded some lp's, perused the crates, traded battle stories and of course listened to tracks/sides of records and had a great time. Have to do that again sometime soon.
I traded with Guzzo for these...thanks. They came with the patiented Guzzo trade/calling card.......a condom.
some ebay scores:
Lance Mountain?
while "digging" at the thrift
and a couple were from Rape Donk's set sale here on the Strut:
That Barretto looks like a tornado hit it but still
plays golden - and such a fine record. Pucho has it's
moments but is not his best that I've heard so far.
Latin Jazz Quintet is dollar bin goodness, and Bill
Black "Cotton Carnival" is thrift store funk of the
highest quality! The Quinteto Violado is a real nice
find - Brazilian folk that gets sold as "psych" and "prog"
but is really just a dope slightly-spacy folk album.
The Heptones is interesting, a label variation I've
never seen before...legit Studio One US release from
1976 with distribution by Buddah, including Buddah
logo on the cover! Is this a common release?
Oh, and some birthday presents from last weekend -
from various friends & family who KNOWZ THE DEAL:
The Robert McGinnis hardcover retrospective is AWESOME!
...and yes, that Scarface is the same novel that the eventual
Pacino film was based on...written in 1926 and 80 years later
I saw a dude at my local Wendy's wearing a button-down shirt
silkscreened with the book's title emblazoned across it's 3XL
shoulders...who woulda thunk it?
Mad cheap.
how's that shekina glory lp? i know it's rare but curious if it's good.
looks like you had fun.
wish there were garage sales worth waking up for down here.
(there aren't, i sometimes forget and wake up for them).
Delay your education and come hear it in the Hotel Room this Fall.
It's pretty good....... a lot of mellow groovin' flute driven folk that morphs into hard heavy guitar psych......male/female vocals....main guy is now a TV News Anchor in Tampa Bay!!!
no...should I? I am very down to find a new spot.
buck a record. i guess they get stuff every week, so you never know.
NO SHIT!!! Got that one a few years back as a Xmas present from wifey. Just wish the cover scans were bigger. Believe me, I got Carter Brown & Mike Shayne & miscellaneous other McGinnis covers for DAYS - good to see another PB collector on the strut!
and...this nice og powell & peralta skateboard from 1980 from a old codger flea market vendor---
1980?
I'd say more like mid 80's with that flared tail, boards had very little shape until 84-85, then things went nuts...shape wise that is. From the top looks like a Lance Mountain with the "Future Primitive" graphics...
That is a serious score vintage skates go for big $$$ on Ebay...
Nice work!
Doomsday cover was just too cool to leave in the bin. Turns out to be a pretty decent EARLY electro record worth $. Nudie Electric Ladyland for $2, sweet! The other side is kinda paper scuffed though which sux, but eh.
Tons of great reggae. Most are in ok
all sealed:
1980?

agreed...looks 85/86. i remember buying a tony hawk mini back then...i wish i would have bought them all and saved them until now to make some money. any chance of posting the bottom graphics dakar? sick digs by the way...just the two patrick adams joints alone and ill..."making love" is such a classic. "love bug" is ok...not as good as "lady bug".
yeah--i think you are right--the lance mountain board is probably 84-86 (probably no later). the thing that prompted me to thinking it was earlier was the copyright date on the powell peralta logo.
i can't wait for the trip to tx. i've had some great digging adventures there. sure to be fun!
Primo stuff, Non. The instrumental flute cut to Sangie Davis' "Words" on that UPsetter/Wackies/Clocktower LP is
No 12's in the mix?
K.
It is a Rek-o-kut Esoteric Sounds brand professional restoration turntable that evidently audiophiles use to properly calibrate and dig their vintage 78s and LPs.
Now, I have been to busy to even try it out or turn it on, but so far my research indicates that it was 15 bucks well spent. Looks like an early 90s model that got very little use.
Anyone have any experience or know where I can get my audiphile white lab coat in XXL?

Ah yes hindsight is always 20/20...
My 1st high school girlfriend worked at the local skate shop, Cal Skate in PDX.
They did a huge mail order business, they always had 1/2 page ad in Thrasher and Transworld,
and always got stuck with mad boards when they got obsolete/out of style or whatever.
I remember seeing the stacks of boards, that were almost like firewood, nobody wanted'em. Lance Mountains, Tony Hawks, Caballeros, Tommy Guerreros, Steve Steadhams, Gators, Roskopps, Natas Kaupas, Lester Kasai, shit you name it they probably had at
least one or two laying around if not a stack of 50. And what about trucks, wheels, accessories....shit forget about it.
If that stuff is sitting somewhere it's worth five figures I'm sure....
If only I'd made my parents invest in some deadstock skate supplies...
I'd be rich!
I can hear the pitch now....
Hey Dad there is the thing called the internet and someday...
He may have sent me to military school.
And what about the Nike outlet store in NE PDX where we all coped our skate shoes...
Carolina Blue AJ I's, Hoya Terminators, Dunks in crazy team only colors!
Don't even get me started on that one!
Sorry I know this board is supposed to be about records..
Nice finds to everyone who bought records this weekend, really I mean it you scored...
