Hit up this cool warehouse / garage type spot on the Oregon Coast today with Rubbishvisual and Twoply. They found way better records than I did, so hopefully they'll post their comeups here. I finded:Paul Hardcastle "Rainforest" LP sealedBee Gees "Trafalgar" x 2Mahavishnu Orchestra with "Planetary Citizen" (2nd copy)Hollies "Bus Stop" (2nd copy)Jan Hammer "Oh Yeah?"Janne Schaffer "Earmeal"Crosby Stills Nash & Young "So Far"The least raer record of the lot (CSNY) ends up being the best. I've been listening to them all my life but never got around to picking up any of their records until today. "Wooden Ships" has been in heavy rotation in my head for a minute.

    The Main Ingredient- Euphrates River (i've been sleeping!)

    Goodness and mercy- s/t

    Percy Faith- Black Magic Woman

    Joni Mitchell- Ladies of the Canyon

    A couple of things.
    William Bell - The Soul Of A Bell
    Sly & The Family Stone - A Whole New Thing
    Stan Kenton - Back To Balboa
    Jazz Crusaders - Best Of
    Gerry Mulligan - What Is There To Say

    Also got a couple of cool CDs. One is a Kurtis Blow history of Rap with a bunch of funky pre-rap songs (James Brown, Isleys, Booker T etc.). A really nice best of Timmy Thomas' TK records stuff 72-81. An Afrojazzfunk CD that alternates French? & US bands (Seven Seas, 13th Floor, Ju-Par Orch. are the US ones) A Dev Large & KZA??? mix of funky stuff from Prestige/Fantasy, I think it's Japanese so I have to dust off my katakana skills, but it looks like Blackbyrds (Burakkubaazu), Cal Tjader (Karu.Jieida), Side Effect etc. etc.

    Also got a Kodak digital camera yesterday (finally), am too lazy to put pics up at the moment (seriously, be afraid, there's no stopping the oversized stupid pictures of useless stuff from now on).

    Finally might have a lead on a petrol tank for a motorbike I am restoring, about freakin' time, I had no idea it would be so hard to get one, the tank is a damaged one but hopefully good enough to get a fibreglass mold taken from.

    Made the frequent short road trip up the shoreline, to the store that always has fresh records, although most of the best stuff I found had to be left for pricing - cant complain, because I just keep finding solid records in the unpriced piles...anyway, picked up some OK goodies today still:





    McDonald and Giles[/b] - S/T - Cotillion
    Allen Toussaint - Live, Love & Faith - Reprise
    Meters - New Direction - WB
    Booker T & The MG's - Universal Language - Asylum
    Mahavishnu John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond - Douglas
    Brother Jack McDuff w/Wild Bill Jennings - Brother Jack - Prestige
    Toys - Attack! - Dynovoice
    Patti Drew - I've Been Here All the Time - Capitol
    The Ventures - Underground Fire - Liberty




    My boy OT who was with me really had the score of the day, though

    Pablo Moses - Revolutionary Dream - Jigsaw

    mint in shrinkwrap sweeet copy for almost nothing

    I had some record envy going on when we were playing shit back...

    Received ^this^ in a package w/ some other MPB LPs in the mail, LOVin it!!... this was the perfect[/b] Sunday morning music. Kind of similar style to Joao Gilberto prime era ca. his 'White album' but Toquinho has sick chops like Baden and a voice not unlike Vinicius, except the fact that Toquinho sounds like an actual technical singer (i never particularly felt like VInicius should be singing, but i digress)

    Package also included Nascimento CLube Da Esquina 2, complete with original stickers. surprised that this is almost as good as CdE part 1!

    analog digs-
    Gabor szabo - sorcerer
    Horace Silver - US of mind
    Blackbyrds 1st LP
    7 Steps to Heaven - Miles

    and more but i'm at work so i have to go...

    Drove 45 mins to the flea then another 45 mins to a smalltown junk shop on a flea dealers' word to find these 12"'s for a buck apiece:

    Brick: Dazz
    Herman Kelly & Life: Dance to the Drummers Beat (pic sleeve on Electric Cat)
    Leprechaun: Loc It Up
    The Brothers "Supreme": We Can't Be Held Back
    Funky 4+1: That's the Joint
    JB Funk & The Love Machine: Feel Good Party Time
    Jimmy Spicer: Adventures of Super Rhyme (Rap)
    Taana Gardner: Heartbeat
    Disco Four: Move To The Groove

    Plus about 90 more 1977-1983 era disco/hiphop twelves from the collection of "The Woodshed" Club in Wilmington, NC, which kept their records in tip-top condition. Not a bad catch.

    all i saw was that Dramatics LP you put back, wasn't really grillin all like that.



    i saw your pic in the other finds thread- are all those from the flea???? I'll be mad if that Clifford Thornton is from him!!! i'm knowing nothing about no Blues Magoos though...heat? i'm terrible about looking thru rock crates anymore



    OH, and i think the 'son' is more appropriate for you, that is what that older lady you were with was calling you, wasn't it?

  • TheMackTheMack 3,414 Posts
    none of those records from the other thread wre from the flea, those were mostly trades. Blue Magoos is heat though, buy it if you see it.

    Nice composition.

    Is the "Sho is Funky" one of the double/triples?

    I might have a nice Blue Note joint to swap for that one.

    that Joe Marrillo is a real nice San Diego LP and



    That LP has two covers that I know of, the one pictured with the black print and a blue and red print (same image just color print).



    Mr. Marillo is still around and has released other LPs, too.

    I really like this routine I have of taking my laundry to the coin op next to the little record store near me that no one goes to (trust me, I know, I used to be the manager) on Sundays...while my linens churn, I pull records that are cheap to begin with, plus my ex-employee 20 percent discount:

















    This Don Crawford record is pretty cool, it was in the "Folk" section, and is pretty much a folk LP, but the back cover thanks all the musicians on it as a whole, including Ron Carter, Cornell Dupree, Chuck Rainey, Eric Gale, Billy Cobham, etc...nice soulful folk with strong instrumentation...





    Is the "Sho is Funky" one of the double/triples?


    Nope.



    oh well, can't blame a guy for asking...

    Picked up the new 12" of Richie Havens version of "Going Back to My Roots" with a Danny Krivit edit. I'd actually never heard his original version of the song, only some house mix that is basically the original with heavier drums. Song is ill. Krivit mix is tight, too. Also got a promo copy of Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik on vinyl.
