Seriously. I want some record porn.
It's been a slow week. My Visa card "found" this Vespa last week & I got a German press of The Searchers 'Needles & Pins' 45 for free today. Just got paid though so I might go digging tonight.
I guess the NRR finds are killin' it. Nice on the vespa. I like the idea of vespa's, like a nice transportation vehicle. But I can't take myself seriously actually travelling in one. I get the same feeling about segway's.
I need to VG+up on this one as my copy is pretty gacked. Great record.
One of my regular customers from my market stall gave me some records his friend was throwing out and this was amongst them . The rest of them were pretty crap but this was a good score. The reggae version of "Woman of the Gettho" {Thats how its spelt on the cover)is awesome.
Plus I finally found Millie Jackson's 'Caught Up' the other day, but it's not with me ... Wonderful southern soul. Totally as great as I have been told.
just got a stack of JA 45's in ... a bunch of these
are rinked (surprise!) but those were a buck, others
are cleaner and were still cheap:
That Johnnie Clark track is gorgeous. On the Marcus Garvey rhythm.
The blank is Peter Tosh & the Wailers, "Pound Get a Blow"
Versions of Cynthia Richards & the Ethiopians, respectively.
The Prince Buster track is "Big Five" - a Triple-XXX version
of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night In Georgia," in which "today I
smoked an ounce of weed, tonight I'm gonna plant a seed in her"
is probably the tamest lyric.
The Tubby dub on the flip of the Johnnie Clarke is
And for real, I've been leaving good records all over Boston
and they're still sitting there...In Your Ear Boston has Life
On Mars, Cheapo's has Max Roach We Insist! in the New Arrivals,
Looney Tunes downtown has Gene Clark's White Light in the Byrds
section for a sawbuck - it's been sitting there for a month - shit,
even the In Your Ear in Cambridge got some shit in...I'm just sayin',
Boston headz, let's go, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND JAM.
finds has been....well i wouldnt call it MINTY
My big plan this weekend was to go diggin'; no work, no plans...saturday was gonna do the stereojacks/iye-cambridge/cheap0 run, then IYE on the other side of the river.
but, then my car got as totalled as that von ryan record you're grillin'. (not my fault; nobody hurt; not much of a story.)
long and short- i'm diggin for a honda in boston.
(sucks about that record, though, man.)
My Odyssey-s/t came slanted in a rectangle box, stuffed with newspaper. As soon as I opened it, my stomach turned, but miraculously, it was safe. People are straight LAZY man.
I can't tell if that Baxters is mono. But if so, a top ten rock record imo.
i am very jealous, i want that model vespa more than anything
One of those copies was found by walking through a Jamaican meat & fish market, down some stairs in the back and underneath the market was a makeshift social club with a couple crates of records stashed behind a sofa.
One of the stranger places I've found records, for sure.
very jealous of a few things in there like The motherfucking Phantom!!! damn
BARRETTOOOOOOOOOO
