"Arabesque" is a great movie and one of Mancini's more "out" moments. The Dell LP is private Los Angeles reggae from '77. The Embryo is Ron Carter's "Uptown Conversation". I'm really enjoying the Gary Burton one. T. Swift was in good condition considering being on budget label vinyl and is one of those "party records" that is often found trashed. I also found public domain DVDs of "The Klansmen" and "His Girl Friday" for $2/each.

went to a philly record show last weekend and didnt come up on too much. i was straight up looking to drop money on something nice, but really wasnt tempted by anything. saw a couple nice heavy pieces at decent prices that i recommended to friends, but not much for me.
ultramags was a good dollar comeup. lottie golden is a great record i had never had a chance to listen to...really feeling it after the first listen
top three werent from the show
ive actually been looking for that Sacca brothers record for a looooong time
oh yeah, this pile mysteriously appeared on my stoop. couple decent reggae and soul keepers.nothing crazy, but its nice for records to come to me on their own volition
It's good 80s garage revival, this one has pretty raw live covers of Voices Green and Purple by the Bees, No Friend of Mine by the Sparkles, and the bag i'm in.
Found these yesterday at a thrift shop for 2 bucks a pop. I can die now.
fake finds alert!!! seriously, that is a huge come up. what is the record in the mmiddle.
True story. Found 3 copies, 1 sealed, 1 opened and 1 sleeveless which is in excellent condition. Want to sell the sealed copy if anyone's interested and open for a trade or sale on the sleeveless one. Keeping the opened one for myself.
store basement finds
got them for free cause i helped dude sort out his classical
also found my first copy of this gem and thought of the strut revival
i am deciding to sell or trade, PM me if interested
Highlights from yesterday morning's flea market. Since there's been no winter they moved opening day up 3 weeks, but it was under 30 degrees and very dark at 7am thanks to the time change. I was impressed at the turnout of dealers and shoppers--folks are hardcore--and there were lots of records to be had.
First 4 LPs were from a seller I had never seen before, $3 each, everything was really clean and I probably should have picked up more. My Beatles phase was a long time ago but I ain't gonna turn down an original mono in that condition at that price. Jimmy Smith is not in superb condition but I couldn't pass for $5--you just don't see Blue Note at this market, especially not deep groove NY address.
And the 45s... A guy had a big box of 'em for 50 cents apiece, which is a prime risk taking opportunity. I got the Festivals from this guy not knowing what to expect, got home and played it and quickly realized it was one of my best flea market scores ever. Hey Girl is great but it's the flip (Checkin' Out) that really does it for me.
I don't know much about latin stuff but I took a chance on a few outta the 50 cent box. The Roberto Roena is awesome, and the flip is a great cover of Dock of The Bay. Makes me want more stuff like it. Rocky Roberts I never heard of but with a picture sleeve like that it's gotta be cool, right? The Dietrofront song is kinda ehhh but the cover of Chain of Fools (called Ciao Ciao Ciao) on the other side is where it's at.
Damn this 3 attachment thing...shoulda done group shots. Anyway I really like this Elmore James...I've heard a bunch of his stuff but never this tune...very raw and powerful. I come across tons of Marvelettes 45s (seems like more than most Motown artists) so it surprised me to find one I didn't have yet. 50s stuff isn't really my bag but the Channels is a very good 2-sider.
A little wax from the past couple of weeks. Surprised to find the Goblin at a local thrift, and it's a fun listen. The rest were pulled in town and in Mtl on the way through last week. I always thought Body and Soul was just a pretty face, but it's got some good tracks.
Wasn't planning on buying latin, but couldn't pass these up at the Beatswapmeet here in LA. Great show.
Who had the Acid LP? I don't think I've ever seen a copy in Los Angeles
It's the rainbow-color label. I bought it off this guy outdoors who had "latin" "private press" "psych" and stuff like that neatly labeled. Actually he had more than one record I wanted to get.
