    Always wanted to hear this one, everyone on here raves about it I haven't a clue what it sounds like.




    Sorry for jacking the photo Jonny, congrats again my man!!

    The Terry callier to me sounds like folky soul with very little funkiness. It's really not my cup of tea, and aprt from one longish track on there kinda gets going in parts, I find this album boring.

    I would be interested to hear/know about the Lovelites LP too. What does this go for?

    Solid Sweet Soul. It's truly satisfies my heart.

    Wasn't it JP that posted this back in the OG MP3 post?


    I was wondering about this one the other day.

    Yes, JP did upload the Lovelites way back in the
    Record Day upload an album thread ... and then went
    on to regret it somewhat, ha ... but it is a fantastic
    album that I have yet to even get a sniff of the OG, so
    his MP3's are still what I listen to. Here's one of them:




    As for Terry Callier, I fall into the "unmoved" camp, which I know
    puts me at odds with the vast majority of people on here ... maybe
    I need to get married or have kids or grow up or something before I
    truly "get" it ... I have held onto the MP3's of that album, waiting
    for the time it grows on me, which I full admit it probably will.
    I think Reynaldo uploaded the copy I have, here's the title track:

    Wow, that's pretty tepid. I passed up a cheapie disco record of his the other month because I thought it wasn't that real shit. But maybe it was.

    While I can understand a certain amount of response to the album as a whole it does surprise me that people could hate on Dancing Girl which has to be one of the loveliest chilled tracks I know. Unfortunately the rip I have at hand is only 160kbps which doesn't really do it justice but hopefully it should give an indication of how great it is.

    to be honest it took me a while, but I fell in love, sure enough.
    some nights right till I play the last song, I drop this record. People hate it and love it. It's just one of those records.

    Well, thanks to SOI, i am listening to Manfred Mann's Chapter 3 for the first time. Great stuff.

    Fatback Band- People Music is one that I need and will most likely enjoy because I like "keep on steppin".

    Archie Shepp- Fire Music (only have listened to the title track)



    Does anyone else "hold out" and intentionally not listen to the entirety of the LP (even though mp3s are readily available), so that they will get a better experience listening to it for the first time on vinyl? I do...

    I've always liked the terry callier record just for the cover, but there's only a couple of tracks that do it for me . I've been lookin' for Al Tanner's " Happiness Is??? Takin??? Care Of Natural Business??? Dig ? " touche records '67 for a while ..... its a small press modal jazz album from the late sixties. sorry don't have a pic at work . The couple of tracks i've heard sounds a little like Lee Morgan's "Search for A New Land" ...tanner did go on to produce dorando's 45s in the seventies ...and one of the tracks "Kuba' was on a ubiquity comp in the mid nineties ...

    Thanks to SOI and Junior for posting those tracks, only gave each one listen and I like the Dancing Girl one a little more, I might have been tired when I heard the title track though. I'd definitely pick it up if I saw it, the cover alone is classic.


    On Dancing Girl, the line "Tell him what your gonna do, boogie bop or boogaloo"...is that where they got "it's 92 so what you wanna do, barbecue or boogaloo" from on Live at the BBQ? Just a thought.

    Don't even get me started on that record! It was on the shelve of my local record store for more than two weeks, for 6,50???, OG!...and i did not pick it up [yeah, that just happened]...aaaaaaargh. I feel so bad. Duuuuh (insert ass-hurt graemlin and little dude graemlin times two) I promise, it will never happen again!!!!!! File under: Grails you missed.

    Dude, please read the thread before coming in here and getting me unnecessarily exercised.

    I do NOT have this sweaty nugget. This thread is for records you have always wanted to hear but have NOT yet heard.

    Of all the mixes I've heard about but haven't heard, I always wanted to hear this.
  • mordecaimordecai 2,204 Posts

    I think I may have heard 1 track?
