couldnt find one so i figured i'd start onenothing too amazing but here's what ive got hold of the last week or so for cheap...the Decca 7 is TORNADOS "telstar" / "jungle fever" --- madness!! there's a nice break on the Candy 7", some fucking heavy drums on the Aphrodite's Child 7" and the Triangle one was featured on DR Delay's latest psych mix in the giftshop now --- great song."mary mary" on the monkees LP is ace and the Beca LP is dodgy welsh folk on Sain... i fucking love the Headcoatees LP -- savage garage rock from Billy Childish!! and i thought i couldnt go wrong with a 10" called "high pressure" on JW Theme Music --- but i was wrong

    it sucked, the dude was like "2 for a buck...unless theyre sleepers. funky sounding stuff from the 60s and 50s". this dude has no idea what hes doing, way overcharges for some stuff, way undercharges for other stuff. he took two records out of my pile but after listening i didnt even want them anyway. hes pretty dumb. im happy.

  • Picked up a copy of that Shadow modern soul record that people around here seem to be into, I'll probably trade or sell it. Also found a fresher copy of the Jimmy Smith '75 album on Mojo. Nothing spectacular, but I like it. Worth getting a cleaner copy.

    Last week I got a kinda rough copy of Boogaloo Joe on Prestige, Gary Burton "Good Vibes", and Jim Jones "Weatherman/Emotionless" 12" on Koch, all for free when selling records.

    Curtis is for a friend, any time I see it cheap I buy it, it's amazing how many people don't own it.

    It's amazing how identifiable those UNI covers are via their design... must've had the same artist for a long run.

    That's the Melodia Ensemble album titled Labyrinth... good find man! Seen this one go for over $200 at times... it's typical for Russian stuff to come in stock covers or no covers at all...

    Good find man!

    peace.

    Ako - you got some nice 45s
    Hammertime - you got some nice LPs

    Anyhow, here's what I got, just a bunch of cheapies at the local spot, except for the Bonfa because I just had to buy something at a thrift store after driving there & flipping through boxes of crap, it's pretty snoozy bossa stuff though. The Ray Bryant & Les McCann are nice piano jazz albums. I always liked that John Mayall too. Little Richard is cool & the Mighty Mighty Dells is tight. Stray Cats is a 12" with them doing I Fought The Law on the flip.

  • not so much a find but a new album that ive wanted on vinyl since it came out a year or so ago and havent been able to track down online or in stores...

    well....actually i thought the 1st had the small lettering on pink label and the 2nd had the bigger letters on a white label...?


    (then, my russian is a little off so...?)

    I learned the "basics" of diggin' put it that way gotta know how to read "JAZZ" in Russian, or you're basically lost!

    It's very complicated the whole labelling and pressing plants in Russia. The numbers after the catalog number issue the pressing like "73" would be a pressing from 73-77 I believe, then "80" is later. The different colors correspond to later pressings. The white pressings are usually all later pressings... The first OG pressing of Labryinth is yellow from my knowledge of following the information I have. Regardless, it's probably impossible to know the truth as pressing was really dodgy and many copies pressed up all over Russia at the time, different covers and all that!!

    some fucking heavy drums on the Aphrodite's Child 7"



    Helloooooooo Cosmophonic


    I found about 100 100 Euro records. All European Psych. Stuff I have seen online, but never in the really real world. They were priced accordingly, so I couldn't buy them. I could listen to most though.

    Blues & Pop Festival 70 Live on MCA.

    Ahh! the famous Labyrinth album.
    That's the one we traded, Bev. I gave you the yellow one!!

    Right, a dude is trying to sell it on ebay for $200, I just found another copy on the internet for $110 shipping (to France) included, with a picture cover.

    Oh, and I know 4 different covers for this record.

    Nice find!

  • I can??t believe I didn??t buy those Can 45s

  • All I came up with after a visit to the flea market, Half Price Books, and Goodwill:

    (Got these at the flea market in the Jazz section - sealed)


  • Too lazy & busy to post photos.

    All common records for me but some raer stuff for others.

    I spent a total of $51.00 usd at the show today:

    1.00 usd
    John handy=Carinval
    Disco Gold
    Roy Ayers-LifeLine
    Damion & Denita S/T
    Ace Spectrum-inner spectrum
    Mass Production-MasterPiece
    Chapter 8

    3.00usd
    Heaven & Earth-fantasy
    Profile-sands of time
    Laura Lee-s/t


    5.00 usd
    The nite liters/different Strokes

    Albino Gorilla-s/t
    Muddy Waters-Electric Mud

    The dollar records were all very clean. No beat up stuff or stratch up stuff.
    But all in all, it's kinda dry out in the field. But, i'm happy with what I found.

    dang, i am truly jealous, but i know you'll appreciate it. still in shrink too,

  • you know what?
    after a couple listens...this LP is not essential.the more readily available "positive vibes"also has extra songs, including excellent "vibeing theme" ...i would say it is much more worthy of focused searching.
    but grails do have that "mystique"
