You guys are killing it this week! There's like 3 finds threads, with dudes just pulling crazed madness...I got some shit to show but I'm feeling a little humbled:
Tommy Roe pop/psych joint with Boettcher production, Dom um Romao is dope, with Joao Donato on keys. Others are dollarbin listen copies.
Brenda & Tabulations was a big want taken out, pretty clean copy - that FREE CREEK is kinda interesting, a UK-only release of some 1970 NYC studio late-night "super sessions" with various combinations of guitar heros and players like Dr. John, Mitch Mitchell, etc, laying down jams. A few real nice tracks, including a fairly tight "Cissy Strut" featuring dueling guitars with Jeff Beck and Todd Rundgren.
a few 45's:
Sweet soul backed with Sly-style funk.
Meters-backed vocal funk with requisite HARD drums.
Florida garage from a later version of the Nightcrawlers ("Little Black Egg")
thrifts and fleas (with exception of 2 items from dd in allentown, which was from a gift certificate) 25 cents - a dollar ea.
first things first --
found 3 of those same singles from a group called the bats. i can't find much info at all on them other than some playlist/guys record collection list online--they were a rockin' mid-60s garage rock group with a sort of eerie guitar sound and farfisa. not psych, but awesome garage. in the dead wax, you can see the etching of 'virtue' -- the famed studio of yore in philly--so i'm inclined to believe they were from or around philly. found at a thrift in a 'grab bag' with like 10 singles for 99 cents.
also in the grab bags i picked up were some soul singles and 23 of these same single. dead store/distribution stock of this rockabilly single --
again, i can't find much info at all on that one. weird.
in one of the four grab bags was also this scary find that also made me hungry for a certain brand of cereal ---
ok, story time. yesterday i went up to do some chores in the poconos. well, this past week up up that way there was an auction from the estate of a woman whose name is ethel. she retired in the poconos after her lifelong career at RCA as a producer in fact, i believe she was something like the first female producer at RCA. she met a lot of people during her era -- which was highlighted by the big band and jazz eras. she had gold record album awards for sale along with autographed works from sinatra, elvis, etc--and of course-- thousands of lps form the rca catalog--not even just us editions, but from rca divisions the world over. many of which were still sealed and many promotional.
the owner of a record store there purchased most of the boxes for 10 bucks each. i wasn't on hand due to my own work schedule--but i am fortunate enough that a couple of the guys at the auction house set up with leftovers on the weekends at a flea. so, i did get this-- fans of latin jazz may know the name ray rivera. mr. rivera sent ethel a couple of cassettes of recorded works from his archives. i thought it was cool. lineup on one of the tapes includes donald byrd, grady tate, seldon powell, johnny rodriguez, bobby rodriguez, and johnny pacheco. -- for a buck i thought it was a cool find!
the dj shadow and the planet savauge sndtrk were from dd (used my gift certificate finally!). the rest were at a flea market. oh--the italo soundtracks were all apart of the leftovers that didn't sell at that auction--from that womans collection. they were all sealed, but i opened up the morricone one.
i was psyched to find these at one flea in particular --
also, some african 45s. not in the best of condition unfortunately, but still cool...
and this philly soul nugget --
in the center of that pic is a lp compilation from some concert promoter company in philly--found it sealed, but had to open it up--the emphasis is on college groups that did avant garde and choral/classical works. the highlight for me though is this one jazz group, New Liberation Unit--who do a nice semi-lengthy original spiritual jazz tune on the lp.
Used in Brainfreeze or Product Placement can't remember which. So put DJ Shadow in the ebay auction title and it's $1,000,000
Sure you're not thinking of the Slurp 7-11 45?
Ummm no, I may be totally mistaken but.. Its in the second track of product placement, has a male vocal saying recognize that sound?, then a female vocal saying "it's the real thing" and theres the sound of a beverage being poured. Im pretty sure that would be the 45.
So, whats the deal with that Fab 5 Freddy joint? I have that 12" but the copy I have DOESN'T have the most famous scratch in the world on it! It's been years since I listened to it and maybe I should pull it out and listen again, but I swear that shit is not on it! I was gassed to find it too, after looking for it for so long.

and a big time want now removed from the list
Earth Disciples was by far the best pull. New Music Ensemble is some waxi schitt no doubt lol: experimental jazz.
The last shot is of the weird recs that suck and the a grip of common rock (doors, led zep, etc that I pulled)
All in all a good 80+ this weekend with a flood coming next week.
