Bring em out. I went to a semi-secret squirrel spot out in Brooklyn today. Found a lot of good classic hip hop and soul/funk that i assume would be good (I am not well-knowledged in that department at all). However, most of it was either empty sleeves or destroyed. Passed a copy of the Protect Ya Neck 12" to a friend.I wound up walking with three records, an old school Natgeo, and a post card.B.T. Express-- Non-StopC.J. & Co.-- Devil's GunGregory Dick-- Best of Gregory Dick.Feel free to school me on the relevance of any of these records.

Not "Dick Gregory," but "Gregory Dick"?
Yeah, you remember that series on LAFF where they
did a spoof on black power? The covers were hilarious!
Actually, I just made that up. Wishful thinking.
so good.
right, Dick Gregory. It's on Tomato.
here's some stuff from the past few days -- some charity shop stuff, a few cheapies from "beat goes on" and a nice little package from Brazil
the GAL COSTA and the MITON NASCIMENTO & LO BORGES are both melting my face off - -perfect albums - not a bad song on them!! as is the TIM ROSE - i bought it on the strength of his "hey joe" cover but the rest of the album is great too -- almost all tracks have bernard purdie on drums!! now i need to get "hey joe" on 7....
dead disappointed with that RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP record - i was expecting some fun moogy business but its totally boring!! i also picked up another copy of JAMES LAST "beach party 3" for the break - dont know why.
the 7's are:
CCS - "tap turns on the water" (never heard these two songs i dont think - both pretty fun with good drums)
ROY "C" - "open letter to the president" (great song -"bargain" i thought at ??1 - but i didnt notice that it has the biggest, deepest scratch ive ever seen on a 45. tits.)
LES CRANE - "a different drummer" (i thought this was gonna be the other track on the album with the better open drums - but its not!)
THE HAPPENINGS - "i got rhythm"
FOUR IMPS - "all or nothing" (wonky instro blues thing with good keyboard action)
BLOODSTONE - "dumb dude"
TINA SHAW & THE SEXUAL ATTRACTIONS - "sexual atttractions" (sexy monotone rap from a big haired woman)
TODD RUNDGREN - "long flowing robe" (didnt know you could get this song on 45 - great tune)
BELL BIV DEVOE - "poison" (sweet)
HOT CHOCOLATE - "dont stop it now" (good drums- produced by mickie most)
THE EQUALS - "baby come back"
FASHION - "dreaming" (80's rubbish - but the sleeve has a painting of a sexy lady flicking herself off while thinking about a fish -- savage)
