Listened to it and was left wondering what the hype is about.
It's already up on eBay.
That's in GREAT shape, rey. If i may, where'd you cop? Real World, or online?
I could use a real upgrade on my Acid, though it plays like a champ.
Viva la gold label.
i always wait talking down about a record till after ive got rid of it..especially if its expensive!!
It's a dope record though. To each their own.... I don't get excited over acid folk banjo plucking psych rock but some people do!
the one in the pic is a english pressing, i have another one though, a US press with that exact same color design, to my knowledge its the second pressing that looks like that..
I thought the two US presses were white on black (first pressing) and black on white (second pressing). No rainbow mess on either of them, but I could be mistaken.
maybe its a 3rd pressing then???
yeah, I have never ever seen a US press with rainbow colors.
OK, i just checked them and it looks like the one which i always thought was US is infact a US vinyl inside a UK cover...i actually never noticed that before, ive had this record like forever so its about time i looked at it proberly!!
thanks soulstrut
Disqualified!
Only third pressing I know of was black on white with no gatefold, and the back cover reproduced in B&W (from the mid-'70s when All Platinum owned Chess).
dawg, back when i started out in this game i didnt give a fuck bout pressings, it was more about the music (and the drumbreaks
the record with the chimp looks cool. does he play on a computer or a reel to reel? i've seen the record before... what is it?
this one is not gatefold either........
Blasphemy.
J*n, you would most definately love that record!!!
its the ozkent reissue, turkish funk instrumentals, apparently mega
oh... turkish music. cute! do they sing?
only inst jams...a few pretty dope ones too!
daaamn, thats what the actual cover looks like? ive seen that reissue and figured it was some new shit...awesome

Went driving for Thrift stores with a friend and came across this African Grocery store. Called them up and asked if they have any African records (a total longshot) and the owner said he has a collection at home. We came back the next day and he brought 5 lp's in. Bought 3 of them because the others were Maskella, and Buari (good stuff, but easily available here). But the other 3 are great
We asked if we could buy some more, he said he would go through his collection and bring about 20-30 pieces next time. I'm really excited.
1. IMO people should be jocking Weldon Irvine's Sinbad LP way more than they do the Don Blackman LP. I say that because, Sinbad's a record that I've had forever that I'm not tyring to sell at any price due to me enjoying it so much over the years.
2. How is the Don Blackman LP that much better than the Nard LP? Is the hype strictly due to rarity?
3. My 50 cent Don Blackman LP has already been copped off of eBay for $79.99.
My big find of....well, ever. Got for cheap.
I know at least a couple of you guys have this....its a local boston (medford) record, so I am itching to know more. The same producer did the Forest Terry 45. I am pretty sure there are 2 versions of this record, but I need to confirm that. If I remember right, the other one doesn't have "Rock" after the label name, like this one, but I could be mistaken. Confirm?
This was on Soul Boulders, right?
The flip is amazing too....its a slow Hendrix-ish rock thang.

What's that phrase?
