A crazy week for records from SoulStrut/Waxidermy - almost all of these are from set sales/offers, except the Coulter & Moacir Santos, which were local:
Thanks to S*mon, Jere*y and Cli*ton ... the Dug Dug's, Orient Express, & Fela have been killin' it - the sales hook-ups on here are outta hand.
Also, thanks to A*ron for the long time want on the Maggie Thrett ... Ike Quebec is from Stereo J*ck's:
These are all 45's from the local quarterly record show today:
Some heat - Myddle Class is a sick Dylan cover with raw reverb styles, and the Popcorn Wylie is a psychedelic soul joint about "Rosemary's Baby!"
And the LP's from today's show, around $30 total:
Kool & the Gang S/T is unplayed in the shrink OG - for $8, that made finding the WLP "Live at the Sex Machine" right behind it for $5 just the icing on the cake!
...man, a dealer setting up at a show, bringing in a Kool S/T in that condition, then putting $8 on it.... *headscratcher* well, damn. glad a strutter found it first!!
Honestly, I don't know the answer to either question - the show in De*ham was the same people that always put that one on, and I don't know who M*** from Maine is...
Finally went digging for the first time in over a month. Found the pictures, Sweet Music and the James Rivers 45s at the store. The rest of the 45s were in a box I had all sealed up in my garage.

Oh, you do know who he is, though perhaps not by name. He's the guy who calls everything "killer", and will grill you about Black Sabbath at the slightest provocation. Always shows up with at least 20 re-ish copies of P.O.Z.

tho i havent held the reissues, i do believe jazzman did sneak a mark on the reish labels to make them different...
staple! I've been using this precious little box since I was 17. problem is, I can't find replacement memory cards for it! the only cards I've been able track down have the opposite corner cut and are too big memorywise to be compatible... let me know if you've found a connection for the outdated memory.
past couple weekends combined here. only thing from the bay is the grupo bota (kindof a letdown). the rest are local spots and the flea.
batacumbele is the shiiiiit! always find it for under $5 too. K&D isn't normal find post material, but it was $.50 And this Abeti record is totally worth the 4 bucks, last time I found the first press with the pic cover also for $4. Both times at respectable shops. Why is this record not sought after at all?!? Am I crazy for loving it?
among some goodies pickedu up this weekend, i found a bottom end 12" sleeve that had the bottom end vol 2 record in it. almost had a heart attack when i thought i actually found one. i did end up keepin the sleeve though.
Finally went digging for the first time in over a month. Found the pictures, Sweet Music and the James Rivers 45s at the store. The rest of the 45s were in a box I had all sealed up in my garage.
C-Brand on Detroit Int (nice smooth modern soul. Anyone know this?)
I think I have a 12" of "Wired for Games" from C-Brand that is dope as shit. Make a mp3 of that hommie.
If these are the monkeyhouse shows, that $8 kool & the gang is the best thing I've heard of coming out of there lately. Even before I moved, so pre-2003, they were really dry. A real crapshoot and dealers asking way too much. I did get a few goodies there the last time, like archie shepp & the family, but I had to pay.

I know M*ke, he is farout. he has a ton of prog and hard rock goodies, that he doesnt want to part with. ask him about his days snortin speed in detroit. great records, but you gots to deal with a slightly unbalanced owner, who loves his records more than you.
Monkeyhouse does their shows in Woburn now - this Dedham show has been run by the owners of the godawful Randolph Music store for years ... although, many of the dealers are the same and yes, just like Monkeyhouse, there are not a ton of scores to be had.
There is Ha**ey with all the 45's, who does all the shows in NE and always has at least a few gems in his boxes ("everything's half price if you can use it") - and a couple of other reliables who will have a few good LP's for good prices (the guy I got the Roadmaster from usually has a bunch of heat, but that was it this time - still, mint for $7 is a steal) and a few wild cards that will show up now & then.
The dude I got the K&tG from is always there, and is clueless about the value of soul/funk - he's the guy that had the mint promo O.V. Wright If Only for Tonight LP on BackBeat for $20, Don Covay See Saw white label for $10, etc - he's a nice enough guy, and 95% of his crates are crap, but I make sure to check him early for goodies like those ...

The Saadias have a little Jazzman logo on the label but I don't know about the What It Is ones, the only original I have is the Wilson Pickett & I haven't compared them yet, probably only the licensing info on the outer rim of the label which is generic to the set is the only real obvious diff.
i had a great time at LA swapmeets...found a tough old chinese lady with 30 crates of hiphop records. pulled a hefty stack and bought 50 joints. later in the day, realized that i hadnt bought some of my pulls.
among the missing: Word...life sealed OK brin git on rmx Pete and CL MAin Ingredient LP some kind of Pete & CL instrumentals every Nonce record god knows what else

super nice finds though.
the filter on that fz-1 is
tho i havent held the reissues, i do believe jazzman did sneak a mark on the reish labels to make them different...
yes ... and the popeye theme played (what is it ... a kazoo?) at the end is crazy ...
staple! I've been using this precious little box since I was 17. problem is, I can't find replacement memory cards for it! the only cards I've been able track down have the opposite corner cut and are too big memorywise to be compatible... let me know if you've found a connection for the outdated memory.
batacumbele is the shiiiiit! always find it for under $5 too.

never seen this label before
comedy 45...50 cents

Nice 45. This one is off of his "messenger man" LP, and was covered by the clash.
