I'm pretty envious of that one - I found one at a show I hit last month, got all psyched when I came across it in a box of otherwise cheap records, but came back down to earth when I checked the price sticker and saw that they wanted $150 for it...
and a number of awesome haitian 78s i found yesterday before heading up to harlem -- only 25 cents ea!--i'll post a couple as example of the labels they are on--
the first one is a field-recording of a haitian rah-rah band. the rah-rah bands use these long dijeridoo (sp?) type of flutes that sound eerie , repetitive and rhythmic--very hypnotic. there are a number of people (mostly women) singing)--it is entrancing. seriously made my day.
then there are four other haitian 78s -- from issa el saieh, a palestinian who was raised in haiti. he was a haitian musical legend and then later became this haitian art star/dealer. there is one record from guy durosier -- a famous singer, who had some flirtation with the evil papa and baby doc fascist governments at the time--though i found out he claims to have been put in that situation, and i probably wouldn't doubt it as governments always want to use their stars to promote them.
the music from those two sounds heavily influenced from the afro-cuban music of the 40s and 50s, somewhat jazzy--but also a hint of perhaps calypso or mento mixed in with their own tradional/voodoo/congo/creole style.
i find that drinking makes me want to contribute drunkenly back to the strut. sorry of that offends anyone. in 2007 cas is all about the strut community. let's elect a mayor on some carcetti shit.
And just when I was thought Taiwan has no records, I was tipped to a junk shop, which bought up a lot of records in LA from $1 bins in the 90s and is still putting them out to this day... walls and walls of wax out in the sticks!!!
Score of the lot was a copy of Roy Porter - Inner Feelings for $1. JYEAH!
I didn't have time to look through the extensive stock, but here are a few bits and pieces I pulled out. Some commons and things I didn't have... I'm waiting to pull out those Stark Reality's when I go back!!!;

I remember AP talking about how he used to buy stuff like that at warehouse sales and what not. Truly a diamond in the rough type shit.
i found these on saturday morning at a flea -- $1 each---
that one little book is a book of poems from the last poets' abiodun oyewole from the early 80s --- the inside cover is signed by oyewole to a women with a note that is written in a very personal and spiritual flavor.
that jennifer lp is not my thing really, but it was produced by john cale. 12" on lower left is a signed ray baretto 12".
some cleanout guys were set up selling what looked to be everything that beloneged to one family--from the records to african american literature--
this other guy i see at some of the record fairs and i got there at the same time. i see him diggin the dollar bins at one of the record fairs--
anyhow he went straight to the 45s--and i went straight to the lps--i spied what he got, it looks like he got some primo soul and funk 45s--on small labels that i'd never seen. he looked excited, but hey. can't win 'em all. i left happy--i'm pretty sure he did too.
these were "found" under my xmas tree this year. some of my relatives finally started figuring out i like vinyl. what they found for me is a pretty hilarious bag, i think they just looked at some "incredibly strange" type books and searched ebay for them.
but actually, the hitchcock is stone mint and uberraer, id been searching for that for a long time. lucky random gift!
and i finally got this in my hands thanks to a very helpful strutter:

sadly the cover is the coolest part of the record, but it's probably the best cover for any of his sermon's that i've seen.
