damn, how many records have you sold for $638.00?
i'm happy to have finally copped Joe Henderson /Our Thing/ Cover is busted but record plays nice. Strangely, one side label says NY-USA and the other side label says division of Liberty. Jacket says W. 61st. WHY, RECORD GODS, WHY????
decent weekend. i was hoping to hit the flea market for some dollar finds but it was closed.
That Baby Ray LP is an ok listen too.
Another pretty slow weekend for records.
I picked up that Soul Jazz "New Orleans Funk" triple LP that I'd been meaning to buy for a little while. Also got some cheapos: Gladys Knight "Standing Ovation", Supremes "Greatest Hits Vol.3", George Shearing "Latin Escapade", the Frontier Records comp "Diamonds At A Discount" & a couple of 45s: Magic Lanterns "Biding My Time" & Wilson Pickett "Take A Closer Look At The Woman You're With".
1975 promo original...how rare is this?!? not even on popsike.
sealed copy!
i've been trying to get this on ebay for ages...it's a yacht-rock disco classic with breaks...fantastic tune...found it for two bucks at the legendary brooklyn digging spot the thing yesterday.
Alice Cooper was a tardy holiday gift; Ali Akbar Khan, Fairport Convention, and Detroit Emeralds were all dollar bin (covers are wrecked but records play well); everything else very cheap except for Mel+Tim and the new stuff (Boris, Earth, Wzt Hearts, and Sir Richard Bishop).
my girlfriend got this for me for xmas...it was a longtime want and my friend tipped her off to it...she had to order it from germany and didn't get here until a couple weeks after xmas...probably the first time a girlfriend has ever successfully bought me a record as a gift that i didn't already have! it's a killer italo boogie tune...and super rare.
DivShare File - Five Sinners.mp3
Nice early 70's session. I tend to like these Cobblestone joints,
like The Visitors albums and Jimmy Heath The Gap Sealer, etc.
The title is correct. This is salsa, and it is
I gotta assume So Cal headz are up on this. Nice private jazz recorded live
in Belmont Shore, 1976. Mix of styles, some breezy some bop-ish and one pretty fonkay:
Band features Dwight Dickerson, Charles Owens, Leroy Vinegar ... nice album.
CHEEPIES:
Not only is that Paul Horn DOLLARBINCOMMON, but in many ways it is also the
hideous birth of SMOOTH JAZZ. Thing is, the songs he covers on it include 3
David Crosby tunes, "Song With No Words," "Long Time Gone" and "Guinnevere"
as well as Stevie's "Living for the City" so how could I resist? "Long Time
Gone" is probably the only one I can get with[/blog]
Haven't played the Doris Troy yet but I know it doesn't have much of a rep.
Bobb Trimble reish made for a nice mellow session last night.
here's the yacht rock disco jam:
DivShare File - Sailor Down By The Docks.mp3
^^ the tap record has some choppable stuff on it, IMO. as for the les paul - theres nothing like an unplayed record from 50+ years ago.
^^ i knew the nothing record was silence, but i have a soft spot for absurd novelty records.
The tramp thing is on an All Platinum subsidiary. What didnt the robinsons put out?
^^ that Keith record is really called "Out Of Crank". the tower of power is one of
those super clean sounding sheffield labs records, its from 1977, mostly good
listening. blackwell = a good example of 'wtf is this?' taking a chance, havent listened yet.
the red cross is their 1980 debut EP, i thought i was missing the cover but a quick
popsike search confirmed it came this way too.
could not pass on a sealed 'Right On' with no punch holes or corner cuts. the astral
weeks is neat just cuz its a Canadian OG, they used the gold WB label later than in
the USA. Bupple Puppy OG on Intl Artists is my find of '08 so far, i doubt ill
score as well for a long time. the Dave Dee is apparently the UK original on
fontana, dated 67, a year before their US "greatest hits' debut.
Donato on Muse
Ella & Louis on Verve, '56
Blackwell are from South Texas and that copy is on the local Astro label.
The LP was later picked up by a major label....Cotillion.
Member Rabbit Bundrick later played with Free and The Who.
Not sure about an Atlantic 45??

good ending 2007 and a nice start into 2008
got a copy of this for pretty cheap
local record store has a super mint copy of felt - s/t on nasco for $500.
whats good with this record? i see it goes for dollars on ebay but wassup with real world find dealers. does it cost this much?
im interested
found that earthen vessel (xian heavy psych) at a thrift in cc,tx. it's orig. press! that was my mega score there.
the punk records were copies from a college radio station. found them from a northern nj vendor for a buck each. all near minty--but some of the covers are a little worn and with station lettering. still can't complain!
max roach lp is a weird test/promo advance copy. i have a orig. mono of it--and it has a different cover. it is orig. impulse mono as well--and label is white. it came with a bunch of ny newspaper clippings on max roach and abby lincoln. pretty cool.
12"s from - nwa, j to the d, italo/euro disco from adal scandi super band, magnifique, modern soul/boogie 12" from t.h.s, and a inner life 12.
and this...
super awesome. sugar baby weet og. my highlight of the weekend for sure!
also got some latin/tex mex soul 45s in texas that i'll post later.
Earthen Vessel in a Thrift is some
Flat Earth Society is a great garage/psych LP out of Boston. Intersting cover of "Midnight Hour" and the other stand-out is "Portrait in Gray" i believe. Whole thing is enjoyable.
