It's not bad. No straight 4/4 drum breaks but the actual drums are great to sample & program. The kick drum on this record is INSANE. Who ever mic'd up this drum kick & who ever recorded it definitely made these drums sound great. The kick drum is so heavy.
i was always disapointed with that Hair bear bunch record... i kept listening to it to find some good quotable lines, but those bears kinda suck and have stupid voices. but the cover is cool.
here are some things from march/april:
Haspuslah Airmatamu OST...Funky Malaysian soundtrack, bought it to upgrade:
Park In-Hee - Vol.3...K-Pop/Folk record with this fuzzy track:
Charlie & His White Cloud Orchestra...Some cool breaks on this plus a tight cover of Mony Mony:
Churchill - The Fool In Me...Spare:
Black Butterfly - Album Vol. 1...Finally got a copy of this, some cool funky tracks:
Wong Shiau Chuen - Vol. 24...Sounds like this:
John Holt - 2000 Volts of Holt...Great Cover of the Isley's "For The Love Of You":
Patty OST...Funky soundtrack off stang with some great rimshots instrumentals:
Rest were $3 or less:
Paul Midas has a nice cover of Cherokee Nation:
Really happy to stumble upon Bobby Callender's Le musee de l'impressionisme LP (top-middle) in the field, long time want!
Sutch a great album, i'm sure it has been discussed here on SS, can't find a thread tho. Anyone?
Vitamin X is modern boogie, reggae ish LP with some nice cuts.
Orgue Biguine is a West Indies album with one or two funky organ tracks.
Jerry Gonzalez LP is decent but pretty standard stuff IMO.
Nice little Jamaican Jazz thing from the '50s here. Apparently the first ever recording of Jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown:
that's interesting...it is indeed one of two solos Brown recorded for the band...the other being a track "Ida Red"...i have both on 78, on Columbia. i have never seen the 45 record you found...
New York Bass Violin Choir - (Strata East)
Jay Hoggard - Mystic Winds, Tropic Breezes (India Navigation)
Curtis Counce Group (Contemporary Mono)
Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners (Riverside 1st white label mono in great shape)
Then this Boner:
The Rendon Brothers - From Us to You.... listen in the next post:
Nice haul DeJean... you got some listenin to do. How is the Nino Ferrer: Metronomie LP, always been curious about that one.
The 9-min. instrumental title track, "Freak" and "Cannabis" are the highlights to my ears.
Bernard Estardy and Slim Pezin in effect.
I like when the music has proggy instrumental leanings.
The straighter vocal poprock tunes aren't my bag.

I found that last summer at a flea and was chuffed, but ultimately I had to purge it. IMO it's more of an "interesting" than "good" record.
My main gripe is Callender's vocal, which is funny in small doses, but grating in the long run. And the sound is kind of bland. It's supposedly from the early 70s, but sounds more late 70s.
Not trying to rain on your parade, just my opinion of course. Congrats on finding a longtime want.
There's an interesting essay by Gilbert Scott Markle (owner of Long View Farm recording studios) on the recording session here:
According to Markle, Callender's whole "artiste" schtick was a scam that he had built a cult of personality on. Interestingly, he also mentions the dull sound.
my ex-wife's family is from Bolivia, and an aunt gave me several of her old records...most on Lyra label. none are awesome in a psych/groovy/funk way. mostly trad. music like Cueca.
I'm out of town right now, I'll try and post some after the weekend. I feel like most of the records I see from Bolivia are on this label.
Any clips of this? I'm curious what it sound like.

Bizarre Psych/Prog that goes through some weird changes:

Yeah, a great xian LP.
:feelin_it:
GREAT track. 45 is a reissue on Jazzman's "Jukebox Jams" subsidiary, OG is a 78. Can also be found on an obscure Clifford Brown comp...
that frank strazzeri lp has a tonne of flavour.
this is an incredible mix of genres a real mashup for once
