The Englishman & Medasi records are sealed, Fela is the OG Nigerian press.
The New York Jazz Quartet record is AMAZING. I bought it off the strength of Roland Hanna on piano, because I have his Child of Gemini LP (a .50 cent find) which is also incredible, and also because it was on CTI's Salvation Records.
Does anyone know anything about Englishman? Or this record in particular?
Scotch Plains Fanwood High School Class of '70 presents Winter's Too Cold For Sneakers
That book cover art looks like the guy who drew abraxis/bitches brew/sextant
One and the same. Really sick book!
^^ i hate xmas music and i hate bad disco, but that cover was redic.
^ another steel band disappointment with a great cover.
^ 1st mono og magical mystery ive ever found in the field. also a 1st press black flag
^ the elusive, kinda meh last "VU" album. [accidental double tim rose photo]
^ Trenchcoat has this terrible attempt at english accents rap on the last track. wtf.
The shortest day is some pretty hardcore Israel/Arab conflict humor from late 60s.
^same Catherine Howe as on the Numero release that put out the album that proceeded this.
^ i love this cover
^ i knew these are hit and miss but the lot was cheapo so wtf
I don't know much about him, but found a sealed copy of his Man, Machine, Music LP a few months back at a flea. It's a dub LP mixed by Scientist. I love Scientist dubs and was pretty hyped to hear it, but it's actually pretty forgettable. Anyway, I think Englishman is from DC (or at least was in DC in the 80s). Don't know much more.
How's the one you found?
The Har-You Percussion and Matata are still sealed,
:balla:
Congrats.
Found a Westchester guy though the web who had records for sale. Went to check him out and through a pile of crap found the sealed Har-You Percussion already priced at $15. I figured he just looked online and saw all the reissues and figured it was just a repress and priced it that way.
The Lialeh was even stranger... Bought a OG copy from a local record dealer for serious $$$ and a week later (2 days after I found the Har-You) I found another OG copy from a guy selling one in Staten Island for $14. I can't even make this stuff up.
but the biggest find was my girl's "yes" to the engagement question.
EOU, boogaloo combo & the james mason are reishes...blue notes are japanese except the d. byrd (my dog ate the obi's)
boddie is fire.
i think you're going to have a good 2012.
that shadows of knight is one of the two records ive bought so far this year.
CONGRATULATIONS! All the very best for the future to you and your girl.
(Nice records, too - the Lou Bond never seems to pop up on this side of the Atlantic and my copy sounds like it's been used as an ice rink by overweight mice.)
