small store:
big store:
thrift 1: after a six month drought, FINALLY hit the jackpot at this spot.
thrift 2: if anasarca and johmbolaya are reading this, you guys NEED that iwalani kahalewai if you guys don't already have it.
Pearls Before Swine rulez.
^^^yes that is a test pressing of the evel knieval album! rooftop rap comp has one
nice track: DJ rob hanna (lethal weapon)'s "5 fingers of death (part 1)", which is
a nice Dj workout a la Flash or Steinski. the rest is fair-to-middling
late 80s raps by apparently forgotten artists.
^^ those rock generations have graham bond organization on them, a band ive been
having a terrible time finding anything from. the hair rave up is pretty cool
live stuff from a 'mystery' uk band. mystery to me anyway.
^^ i dont know what this thing does but i hope its cool
Mic amp?
wondering about this Main Source 12" found at the Goodwill last week. Sealed. OG?
B-Fats is on that comp. I think he did Do The Whop 12". The cover artist moved on to do the BrotherMan comic book which is st8 lava back in the late 90's. There's a couple of females on this comp that have been out before(live&wax). I hold on to it for its wierdness. Overall flaccid.
hank ballad and the midnighters - singing and swingin - king
johnny frigo sextet - jazz is now - orion
hugh borde and the trinidad tripoli steel band - momentum - meridian
ronn forella - moves - hoctor
across 110th street - statler records 45
the expected good soul+jazz songs.
McCoy Tyner "Sahara" (Milestone, 72)...I only really like this because the cover has a shot of him sitting with a koto in his lap overlooking a demolished area of city land.
Chico Hamilton "His Greatest Hits" (Impulse, 2LP one with him in the cape)
"CLASSIC! With a nice appearance by NAS on the b-side! A-side has the "DMS cg" signature followed by a peace sign. The b-side has this written on the run-out groove: "This Ain't No Mambojahambo!!!"
ORIGINAL US PRESSING!"
Nice private gospel LP from DC '74, clean Monk and WLP Labelle were the hi-lites.
Estate sale 5 doors down from my house, also all $1:
Minty Peter Ivers OG was the obvious winner, but I had never owned
the Nina LP before, and "It Be's That Way Sometimes" flipped my lid!
Local stores been coming through on the psychee tip:
"Mixture" on the Peter Walker album is
... that's the last Gants I didn't have, the Ska comp is not the raer OG but a
cheapo press from who knows when or where - but the music is face-disintegration.
Found the Battered Ornaments on a back-room shelf in a local
spot of mostly "bad cover/good disc - vice/versa" records ...
there is heavy H20 damage on the cover, but the LP is
spotless and it came very cheap. I was pretty psyched.
Some random 45's:
Smoke is one of a stack of cheap represses I picked up, great
Outsiders, Q65, John's Children, etc ... nice to finally own
an unplayed copy of Fugi after having nothing but beater
copies for years, the WB is Teddy Lee & the Tomcats, very
cool Everly Brothers-styled pop that is "my shit."
looks like a mixer, but maybe a splitter/aux send thing. altec is the real deal though. nice find.
thanks, but the record is sealed. i'm trying to tell without opening.
The way the Shrink wrap is on it and the colour from the photo, it looks like the re-issue to me...
peace.
Found some real heat already.
I got here last Thursday. Friday and Saturday I've been cruising around the city on the back of my guides scooter at breakneck speed. The smog here is unbelievable. There are thousands of motor scooter taxis and they're all running on dirty black market fuel leaving behind clouds of black or lead blue smoke. After a few hours I started to feel lightheaded and after a while it felt like psychedelic hallucinations with all the passengers of the other scooters dressed up in bright colorful African patterns constantly zoomed in and out of vision.
Found some amazing records on Saturday thanx to my guide who is the owner of a music cassette store and also distributes tapes all across town, thatfor he knows every single music store in the city.
Downside was that I felt kinda sick. I had severe intestinal pain, it felt like there was a small animal moving around in me and I was walking around with my buttcheeks pressed together and cold sweat on my forehead. Combine this with extreme heat, bumpy roads and no toilets in sight for the entire day and you get the picture. I guess my sphincter could armwrestle Silvester Stallone by now...
Anyway, I told my man that I'd want to take it easy for Sunday and for today and rest at the hotel. Against my worse expectations, I already felt fine yesterday and today spent the entire day at the pool, drinking chilled Pinot Gris and eating shellfish. Best part was that my friend came by several times bringing records for me to check out on the portable. Most decadent "digging" experience I've ever had... it really did feel kinda wrong... but also good at the same time.
this should be nominated for worst mental image ever.
and they were all the same album
Accepting offers? Interested in hearing this.
all offers will be accepted !
will try to burn some sounds of it later in the week
some insane sampling potentials !!
It's a 5 channel line mixer. Just sums everything into one master line out. Altec gear has a great sound. If you do any production, try running sounds through it on the way to a sampler or whatever you record to, and definitely try out that eq.
I've seen Volume 11, I think.
