Just a quick dip into a local spot on lunch, but I grabbed a couple of joints, and walked away satisfied. Favorite cop o' the day: NICE clean OG deep groove copy for pretty cheap, and it is an amazing slice of post-bop genius...can't go wrong with help from D. Byrd, Blue Mitchell, Philly Joe, etal. I'm just psyched cause I haven't grabbed an LP like this in a minute, no breaks, no fuzz...just pure jazz heat. Dope 1968 country/folk/rock LP that features some heavyweight guest players, including Gram Parsons on a cover of "That's How Strong My Love Is!" Yaw! Got the French LP pressing of this (image is a CD), Stooges 1973 rehearsals titled, "My Girl Hates My Heroin." Some are pretty rough, but a few just shred like nothing else out there, Stooges style. A nice find, and definitely One 45: Johnnie Taylor - Don't You Fool With My Soul - Stax as recommended by Pickwick 33 in the "best Stax records" thread...

I've been pimpin' this one on here for a minute. Definitely some slept-on shit, dude gets hardcore on this piece, "Breakin' Out All Over," "Fish Ain't Bitin'" start to finish. Did your's come with the hilarious "ice grill" insert? Hommie's rockin' the thousand-yard-stare!
Staple Singers[/b] "What The World Needs Now Is Love" (Epic) - never seen this before, but I'm guessing its from the late 60's just before they did all that stuff with Stax. Nice soulful type religion stuff, Mavis has some surrious pipes
Don Randi[/b] Plays Love Theme From Romeo & Juliet" (Capitol) - Been wanting this since Jordan was winning rings. David Axelord late 60's production
The Human Condition[/b] "Working People Gonna Rise!" (Paredon) - was gonna make a trade for this a while back but I fell off the ball (sorry FM). Great socialist folk album with 2 or 3 funky cuts....the cover to this is fucking bananas; packaged like it was on folkways.
Teena Marie[/b] "Robbery" (Epic) - classic that I shoulda had a long time ago
Teena Marie[/b] "Irons In the Fire" (Gordy) - see above
Glenn Jones[/b] "I Am Somebody / Instrumental" (MCA) - 45 rpm
Jack Millman And The All Stars Jazz Orchestra 'Reflections' (Tootsie, 79)...Small/private label jazz from TN (?) with Chico Hamilton, Mike Pacheco and others.
Jazz Of The 60s 2LP (VJ International)...Nice compilation. I'm liking the flute and vibe groove, Afro Blues Quintet "Liberation"
Thelma Houston "Sunshower" (ABC/Dunhill, 69)
Art Blakey "Bag Of Blues" (VJ International, 77)
Al Zeppy "...En New York" (UA Latino)...Solid boogaloo and salsa
Bluebeard "Bad Dream" (Parliament, 79)...Hard hitting local progressive rock with an ARPy version of "Paint It Black"
Thanks to Drez...
The Fantastic Four "The Whole World Is A Stage" / "Ain't Love Wonderful?" (Ric Tic)

Pleasant surprises of the bunch:
Solomon Burke (porrrn), Simone (Can??a,Can??a = whoa!), Mayall (jazzier and funkier than I expected), Ole Kock Hansen ("Der Staar En Lind" sounds like Ramsey in '71), American Breed ("Short Skirts = nice fuzzy psych-pop-rock), Cesar Frazier (some funky midtempo disco on this), Merit Hemmingson (jazzfunky hammond versions of swedish folklore tunes), Fasia (Black German folk-singer with some very funky backing tracks).
Some 7-inches:
* Big Youth "Hit The Road Jack/Tippa Style" (Negusa Nagast)

+ miscellaneous commons i needed
Du g??r jo amoook boyee!!!
Overall damn decent finds, man.

"Huvva" is my first Marit Hemmingson, but definetely not my last. I'll be on the lookout for "Trollskog". I love the nordic feeling of stuff like this, like Bo Hansson and J:Son Lindh have as well. It has an air of familiarity for me, even though Denmark doesn't have the rough mountain-ambience of Norway, Sweden and Finland (at all!). There's something about those melodies that is unconsciously appealing to me.
Merit Hemmingson (the swedish organ chick) has heat !
Dont think I ever checked that Huvva though (what ever that means?)...
Gotta remember to ask you about it...auwright !
DAMN! Good find! One of my all time fave jazz records.
if you like huvva! check out trollskog, balsam, and bergtagen...i got those and they're good, "merit hemmingson plays..", "merit!" and "Discoteque Dance A Go Go" are also supposed to be good.
Marlena Shaw "Spice of Life"...finally! didnt have to succumb to ebay or a re-issue either, about time I found the sumbitch!
if you wanna hear more swedish heat.
you should check up the gimmicks - in accapulco it has one of the best versions i heard of california soul but it??s rare, even in sweden it goes for like 150$ lucky for me i got one from my father. check up doris too. madlib samples doris for closer on the new quas album
We scandinavians be holdin it down!
I??ve asked some swedes what the hell Huvva! means, but nobody has a clue. To me it sounds like "Huvva! This is some serious organ-heat!" but then again that??s just me. Yeah, pretty much her entire discography is good.
Check out the feature the fine lads over at VinylVulture did on her, very informative stuff:

Congrats on the white whale find hookup
Cosign on all Merit Hemmingson related joints... she rocks the dope tunes and square dance joints like no other.
Thanks for the info, mate. Concerning Roskilde ??? I hope to get a free ticket, but I'm not sure yet.
Like their version of People Make The World Go Round called: Just San't Far En Att Bli Sur !!! (but then again I like almost every cover of this song...)
Actually I have a spare copy of their Music Is What We Play album if anyone's interested ?
20$ got me these...
the jonny chingas 12" was one of the highlights, it was signed & had that funny promo pic in it...
45' highlight was the impalas on whittier (anyone else have any shit on whittier besides thee midniters?)
copped some ill salsa y boogaloo from senor paycheck last week in nYc, shit was tight, he had a missing link & 2 replacements for my azz...
Pijuan & Sextet - Sabor A Pueblo
Earth Disciples - Getaway Train
Amanda Ambrose - Laughing
Meters - Rejuvenation
Chariots of the Gods - OST
Gap Mangione - Sing Along Junk (double)
Chuck Brown - Bustin' Loose 12"
Debbie Deb - Look Out Weekend 12" (doubles * man this song and her other one bring back bad memories of every single house party i've ever been to. You couldn't escape these songs if you wanted to go out.)
Debi Deb - When I Hear Music 12"
Caprells - Close Your Eyes 7"
Creative Funk - Moving World 7"
not me. what's the impalas record sound like? should i even have to ask?
Good find,
Dress
nice goodwill score...some promo-only cd prefuse put out...it's a mix of his fave brazillian and catalin joints with some folk-psych bits thrown in to taste...like the byrds! anyways, very nice, great summer listening.
very stoked to find this in a thrift store...the Gina X lp with the dancefloor cut "no g.d.m."...the whole record is fantastic...funky german post-punk with vocoders.
this is another nice find...i thought for sure this would be a private press lp that would suck so i could sell it but it's actually really, really good. hippy country/folk/psych that's all over the map but very consistent and engaging and the playing is quite good...it's from guerneville, cali...anybody know this?
nice tee scott mix of this boogie fave...very smooth and funky.
finally got another vinyl copy of my fave punk lp...i used to have this on record but this kid i knew wanted it so bad that i sold it to him for $20...i haven't seen another copy since this one but i snapped up a minty copy in billyburg for $7
joy division "she's lost control" / "atmosphere" 12" on factory....two of my fave joy division tunes on one loud 45 rpm pressing...yes plaese!
DOPE!
So you don't need that CD then?
Pijuan is fucking dope. I was just running a 45 of his.
As in Sunny & The Sunliners?
el paycheck hooked up:
1. barretto - que viva la musica - fania (replacement)
2. tito allen - maldades - alegre (replacement)
3. pete rodriguez - latin boogaloo - alegre (missing link)
as for the impalas, shit is ill, great version of barbara mason's yes i'm ready... needs some cleaning action but damn!
That album is butt. I turned it into a cheese and cracker tray.
