I can't say it was essential to me. Same goes with the Cult album.
Essential for me, strictly due to my geographic locale... I always think I will eventually score the girl cover at some point out here in Vegas, but after several years, nada. I do dig up the horse covers (blue and brown) from time to time though...and on a side note, it's widley speculated that the girl cover is the first pressing, but I believe it to be the 3rd pressing (or 2nd at best). Reason being, the 45 issued from the LP shares the same label design as the brown horse cover LP, which is kind of a rudimentary 3-D letter design. The label design on both the blue horse and girl covers share a slicker design, one that better matches an actual "Starburst" if you will. This site shows all 3 covers, couldn't find any label scans online...
If you're willing to pay I know Mike Vegh has one (the girl cover) that he's been bringing to the record shows out here.
Hey Parsec, what's up with the Court of Circe avatar? Is anyone interested in that LP? It seems like it should be good private / spiritual / jazz / Brazilian / whatever, but the music just never grabbed me.

Not a good record. I was glad to be rid of the several copies I had a while back.

I like about two/thirds of the album and the other third is not so much my bag. That record Papaya that you reviewed on here way back: the guitar player Brian in Papaya is also on the Fred Taylor lp. Its also one of my favorite record covers ever. Fred is the most humble, nicest dude and he's still playing music these days for a living.
I really liked the Bobby Glenn last time I had it. I recall wanting to keep it, but traded it out to the hommie.
Incidental to my earlier post, I finally got 2 boxes of records I had bought a few months back down in Pennsylvania and a copy of Fred Taylor - Court Of Circe was in it.

Cool, I was just surprised to see it in someone's avatar...
Can someone explain the baller appeal of that Latinos album?
i had that record as part of a collection i bought a couple of years ago, and i think i resold it for a dollar because i thought it was an absolute terd.
at least i made $.97 profit off of it...
I think I did something similar, even after reading it was flippable on soulstrut. Wow does it suck.
Frank Dell - Yesterdays people (Guinness) nice soul LP on the Guinness label with the northern cut "He broke your game wide open"
only one northern cut? The rest is boogie or what?
i'm guessing that it's a collection of songs over the course of Frank Dell's career because all the songs are recorded differently and they all sound like they're from different eras. there's a couple of northern tracks. no boogie. no disco. but there is a really bad ass ballad called "i want what i want".

That makes sense.
To tie 2 threads together: here's Frank singing about Cocaine around the time that De La Soul went psychedelic. It's bad growing on me!!!

yes, some ballads, some northern, just a solid soul record issued as all Guinness titles in 1977 with some earlier tracks. one of the rarer Guinnesses, but not super rare as Roger Hatcher, James Conwell,...

Tepid is about right.
I had one about 3-4 years ago and remember it being not so much bad as just not really very remarkable.
Benny Gordon is super tepid. I passed on it for $20 or something.
Also whats up with that Soul Messengers, is it as good as the S/T one?
And Benny Gordon aint that epid, it's just not great
That Tal Armstrong is crap
and for gods sake can someone please post an MP3 of that OT Sykes?

I need a NM copy of Blair Dammit
What's up with Buddy Glen, though? Can anybody speak on that?

The Bobby Glen done been spoke on. I'm tryna find out what's up with Buddy Glenn.
With your buddy Glen?
I had dozens of copies of that Chosen Few 12" (with the heart on the front) before they blew up.
Congrats to the dudes that got them for $30 off me.
