    Pretty slim pickings around town this week ...
    still, picked up a couple of decent/interesting joints:



    Some decent clean early 90's hip hop 12" out of a dollar bin...
    101 Strings has four Animated Egg sessions tracks ...
    Moog record has a T Rex "Jeepster" cover, and a couple heavy
    tracks, like "Jungle Juice" - it was 50 cents, as was the Jump LP,
    which is pretty good glammy power pop on Janus ...
    Spilt Milk looked like it would be awesome, but was tepid as 2-hour old tea.

    Made an infrequent trip to Newbury Comics looking for the Bob & Gene
    album, but it was sold out, so I copped the Amnesty instead...
    ...what a fantastic release! Highly recommended, sounds like the
    Lost Generation on Brunswick with a more raw, stretched-out sound...

    I haven't bothered to get my "psychedelic funk ringtone" yet, though





    Only one 45 this week, but it's a keeper:



    Shit needs to pick up around here -
    stores have been pretty

    That one still kills me every time I hear it!

  • That's funny DrWu, at one point in time all those records lived down the street from me. That's all stuff from Ray Dobard's Music City shop/one-stop.

    Tell Ray thanks for the records.

    B/w

    Where is Ray's?

  • It was on Alcatraz Ave. in Berkeley during the 60s/70s. He was the main distributor for James Brown and family for the West Coast, or so I'm told. Also ran the Music City label that did the Darondo 45 among many others. One of his warehouses that had sat dormant for many years got bought out about 4 years ago by some dealers.

    You got yours I suppose.

    Passed on two music city titles-

  • You got yours I suppose.

    I actually hardly knew anything about 45s back then. I happened to get a job working for one of the aforementioned dealers right after that whole deal went down, so got to know those titles quite well after many months of data entry. So many amazing records in that haul.... oddly enough the Dorando 45 did not turn up in any quantity worth mentioning. They're still out there somewhere.

    What's good on Music City

    The Florence Farmer is a bit insane and the Gospel cover of "Try Me" is nice. Always loved the Devons 45.

  • I like:
    Two Things In One - Together Forever (sweet ballad that can be had for cheap)
    Music City Soul Brothers - Let Our Love Go On (tougher to find)
    Music City Two In One - Snag Nasty (decent funk, nothing amazing)
    Obviously Darondo goes without saying. I haven't heard a lot of the other releases on the label though. There's a lot of doo wop and r&b stuff that goes back to the 78 era.

    By the way, it must be fun as hell to get all those 45s at once and check 'em all out.

  • DrWuDrWu 4,021 Posts
    Yeah cool come up. I have snacked on the load before (several times). First time I had Dee Felice, Leon Austin, five royales, Crawford or the famous flames though. Inez Foxx and Otis Clay are such great sides and now I can sell my non mint copies.

    Florence Farmer- Living Legend



    What is this? I've never heard of her before.
    Could you please upload a snippet?
    I could not find it on funk45.com

    The record at which I've been staring with wide-eyed horror for the last week, though, is Florence Farmer's "Living Legend," one of the rarer original James Brown productions, released (in the same sense that one releases a felon) in 1969 or so. A two-part single, with a warbling big-band medley of J.B.'s standards behind Farmer simperingly reading... something that somebody wrote, gee I wonder who. A relatively brief excerpt from part 1:

    I know I could never end this story
    No matter how hard I tried
    It could last forever and ever
    Because when you're talking about a man like this
    You're never reluctant to endeavor
    We love you, James!
    This man will never walk alone! We won't let him,
    As long as there's a human race!
    Because we have freedom of speech, you know,
    To which he keeps a tremendous pace
    Now I've seen so many artists
    But none with so much finesse
    No wonder all those girls holler
    When they see the way he's dressed
    He designs all his own clothes, you know
    Did I forget to tell you this is Mr. James Brown?
    The one and only James Brown?
    James Brown has been around the world
    Oh, at least a hundred times or more
    And all of the people that he's met--his friends, his classmates, anybody, anywhere at any time--They've never been a bore

    I can't even parse some of that.

    Funky?

    Finding records on monday is always such an awkward endevor, Its not weekend, its not mid-week. It just makes you wonder how many records have gone unreported due to this void of a day..

    Not funky but gripping all the same. 7 minutes of unending JB nut hugging by Farmer. After she's done you would think that JB was messiah returned. I am putting together a mix of JB productions and will be using this as the interlude piece. Sorry I can't burn vinyl yet. Hope to be up and running soon.
