I've had a couple of Ebony Singers LPs, I think that one sells for the cover more than anything. You think it's going to be Spiritual Jazz but then it goes all Gospel Opera.
jumped into a garbage container, trying to salvage a shitload of water damaged 45s, after sorting and cleaning, and ending up throwing half of these back where they came from, now my kitchen is smelling very much like sour fungus, daaamn haha
Got a small but tasty package from Nigeria two days ago... Highlights are the Clusters 45, the (seemingly unknown) Orlando Julius & Evelyin Dance Band 45 on Philips and the Sahara All Stars LP which was a longtime want. The rest are mostly spares to be displayed at inflated prices at the FMU fair this October.
African Reggae for the most part has a bad rep. I don't know a thing about Reggae but am really digging this track: Ghanaian Band The African Brothers International recorded this 45 in London while on tour in 1974 for a private label run by Akie Deen from Sierra Leone. Someone must have bought this copy and brought it to Nigeria where my Ghanaian friend Ken found it and sent it to NYC. Probably not a particularly hard record to find in England. So deep and so hauntingly beautiful...

One local HPB had a sale last night from 9 to midnight that was quite unusual....they advertised for 2 weeks and about 30 people showed up.....at 9:00PM straight up they wheeled out 15 carts of records with 200 per cart.....everything was 4 for a dollar.....it was an amazing sight with no sharp elbows and no bad vibes at all....I bought 47 LP's and these were the highlights....condition was tops on everything I bought....they say it was a success and will happen again.

This week's cops: Zoser 45 (Minnesota psych from 1971), Italian neo bootboy glam Giuda LP (new) and a perfectly-sized vintage Capitol Records 45 box a co-DJ gave me in the parking lot at last night's Blackeyed Soul Club gig in LA:
Highlights from Mexico City's first record convention. While people was paying 60 bucks for Beatles stuff I managed to pick up these (and some other minor stuff) for the same amount. No raers or anything, but worth the visit:
Detail of the bottom right LP (mexican comp of funk inc James Brown, Fatback Band, etc.):
update from an ongoing excavation, jam packed home/basement of a apparently deceased 70s dj/activist/promoter type person. Its all second hand info and ive no direct access to the site, but the guys shoveling the stuff out are letting me snoop through it first so whatever the story is, its working for me so far. plus a few other things mixed in.
^ B. Wilson autograph from an acquaintance who worked at Amoeba in LA, got it at his "lucky old sun" instore in 2008
^ german Beatles from another source. this is the one with the different mixes i believe.
super stoked on the esther williams. its that sort of collection, cool surprises that have been buried since like 1980.

today I bought a 1500 piece collection of mostly brazilian records. Lots of great psych and stuff.
I havn't looked through all of them but i picked a few random ones to post here:
Sorry for the bad quality, maybe I will post better ones tomorrow.

Shiiiiiiiiet.
Set sale coming up?
yes, unfortunatly. After buying this collection I'm completly broke. I have no other chance than to sell a big part of it.
I don't have a clue how to price them, though... Popsike, collectorsfrenzy & discogs can't help here, because lot of obscure brazilian stuff isn't listed. In the collection are a lot of brazilian pressings of classics and lots of psych/kraut rock raer.
I have no clue if these brazilain pressing are worth more or are more sought after than the regular pressings.
Can anyone school me on this topic?

I found a copy of this earlier this year, but with the cover. Not much thought put in the cover, but a nice message about McGee from the exec. prod.

This sounds like a reggae take on something very familiar. Nice and mellow though.
EDIT: Something very familiar sounds like a take on Hwe Anna:
???
I know, it somehow sounds almost eerily familiar but I can't put my finger on it...
Something made me think The Kinks, too.
A short sneak preview for both sides of the Clusters 45.
Jazz Quintet '60, woop!!! Nice find.
a long time want: Vitamin C on 45

Who made it big many years later....
:feelin_it:
it needn't have been a long-time want, this guy has been selling off original stock copies for years now:
http://www.rockitrecordsusa.com/catalog/Zoser_Hexagon.php
they were $10 a couple of years ago, now they are a still amazingly-cheap $20.
Thanks a lot mate Ive just grabbed one.
Funny cuz I saw the sign but it mentioned nothing of records. thought it was simply a book sale.
S.O.U.L. for peanuts at a thrift shop is the very definition of coming up, congrats. that bishop norman lp you got is pretty cool also.
