Back from my two week (not long enough) tour of Australia. Family related but still found time to dig in Adelaide and Sydney. Some luck at the op shops, mainly moog and cheesecake LP's but better luck at the stores. In Adelaide I hit Big Star, Mr. V's (?) in Semaphore and a few antique malls and markets. In Sydney I wet to Red Eye, Mojo, Egg and Revolve. Shit is pricey down there so I was glad I brought traders. One thing that drove me nuts was the habit of filing reissues with originals. Since most of the reissues were priced around $25-30 Australian it was very hard to tell without closer inspection what was up. Store owners (and most Aussies in general) were very friendly though. Here are my keepers:
Ray Dorset - Ray Dorset's Best (Boulevard) Mungo Jerry guy Billy Thorpe - Million Dollar Bill (Infinity) nice version of Etta James' "Out on the Streets Again" Buffalo - Volcanic Rock (Vertigo) heavy mid-70's Aussie group!!! Tony Joe White - Black and White (Monument) signed The Blackbirds - No Destination (Saga) nice German popsikebeat LP from 68 The Rubber Band - Cream Songbook (GRT) V/A - Great Aussie Rock (Mushroom Anti Rip-Off) bought this one just for the label name. 1975 comp. OST - Hair (Spin) Australian cast recording The Crayon Fields - Animal (Trifekta) nice 2006 release. Zombieslike Tee-Set - In the Morning of My Days (Interfusion) Mandingo - Sacrifice (EMI) V/A - Otto (Sanyo Japan) stereo test lp with cool instrumental Otis Redding and Beatles covers KPM 1131 - The Trendsetters - some bangers on this one Blackfeather - At the Mountains of Madness (Infinity) Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia - Hooteroll? (Doulgas) finally! Chris Parfitt and the Hi-Revving Tongues - Tropic of Capricorn (Zodiac) one of New Zealand's first psych bands. from 1966 Fatback - Yum Yum (Polydor) my one DC find since I got back
What I'm really into right not is comp called "Relics - Collector Obscurities from the First Psychedelic Era '66-'69." It on dB Records and a limited run of 500 records.
New Birth - Birthday Lipstique - At The Discotheque Chi-Lites - A Lonely Man Parliament - Clones of Dr. Funkenstein mintup Joe Farrell - Canned Funk and one other that's escaping me right now
The Crayon Fields - Animal (Trifekta) nice 2006 release. Zombieslike
I think they used to be on a mates label, Art School Dropout. At their Melbourne album launch 2 of my friends were dressed up in giant bear (think the Kanye bears) suits and another friend was dressed as an Eastern European bear handler who led them around the crowd. I've only heard bits and pieces of the album, but it's pretty cool. Good Un-Australian sounding Australian music.
How about returning the $$$$ you owe me or at least send me that record as promised? Or are you gonna go silent on me again? I have proff from the Canadian Post Office that you picked up your packages in early September. After that you went silent on me and ignored me.

That guillotine record is still nice in my book. Not a total burner but it has some really nice tracks on it.
Love that Elephant's Memory, though...
