3x's fast = impossible to say
Lotta AYO going on in this thread.
it's pretty rare, although it's popped up a few times this past year. i was told it was pressed in a run of maybe a few hundred.
I'm lucky enough to have a NM copy of this. It's easily my favorite Bay Area jazz record.
Hand-made cover (each one varies slightly in color and layout), great message/notes on the back, stellar/epic tunes. I would be surprised if there were more than 250 of this pressed.
b/w
Br*nd*n nabbed some of my french fries when I wasn't looking while dining at Fran's in Austin. SPELUNKED
Speaking of eats in Austin the biggest disappointment of the weekend was finding out that Hoover's no longer serves their smoked Boudin.......best meal of the weekend was the Espaditas and Shrimp la Plancha at Polvo's on 1st St.
And Spelunk is a digger's digger......takes a day off to lounge by the lake and still outdigs the average man.
Worth it:
Plus, the ladies were fly:
This water moccasin got too damn close
I was hooked on Polvo's for about 6 months last year. If the pickled carrots and chiles at the salsa bar didn't do it, the chicken mole enchiladas drove it home.
Polvo's is a bit of a trendy spot though, and after having my sister order seafood enchiladas and finding them stuffed with those puny frozen skrimps instead of the juicy fat Gulf brown shrimp realness...I've taken my business down the street to La Reyna.
At Hoover's, I've never had the boudin, guess now I never will...but when I used to be hooked on that place, it was either fried catfish or jerk chicken, always followed with mango cobbler.
I get bored with Austin at large quite often, but I never tire of the eating options here, that's for sure.
There`s only one popsike auction, VG+ for 280$, is that about right?
Dont really want to spent more money on a weak copy, but if 280 was a steal then i might go for it.
The clips sound really nice.
Problem for us out-of-towners is I can't come down and NOT eat at Hoovers(3 times a year) and then I usually hit a few of the spots I know and trust(Ruby's was added to that list last year). I really need to hit some new places but it's hard to pass up known goodness.
My records got lost in the mail. He fully refunded me and was a proper dude about it.
3 months later the joints were returned to sender. He notified me, I bought them again and we were all happy.
I paid $330 for a NM copy and was happy to do so. Shit is top tier.
that's you? I didn't make the soulstrut connection - really glad everything ended up working out, especially since you bought good records. Sometimes you gotta charge it to the game and take the loss, but it's harder to do when the records are ones I really dig.
I appreciate all the support from this board and beyond - plenty more to come over the next few months.
