Over a year later and I've gained no info on this record beyond it being pressed by QCA in March of 1981. This is in spite of some very knowledgeable and well-connected people looking into it. Somebody (not me) created a Discogs listing for it earl…

OK maybe here's something... Could "L. Owens" be Lloyd Owens? https://www.discogs.com/artist/3088982-Lloyd-Owens Active at the right time, in the right genre, and in the right area for this to pop up in CT. The case against: Lloyd seems to be pri…

Jimster said: Can you track the og seller via the shop? Jimster,Not sure what you mean. It'd be impossible to figure out who donated this to Goodwill for many reasons. I didn't consider the first letter of the name might be J, you coul…

Jimster, I’ve spent too much time staring at that name, trying to figure out what the hell the first name is. The last name is definitely “McCray” and the first letter of the first name seems to be a “V” and I think the second is an “a” or an “o” …

I'm not necessarily in a hurry to sell it, but probably will before too long, especially if there's strong interest. Any idea what kind of % the big time sellers take as commission? I'm no stranger to selling online but of course I can't expect to…

Sticky, I'm in Fairfield County, CT, so I'd guess this most likely came out of NYC. But who knows? It was the only 7" in the store that day, hidden amongst the LPs. In that same visit I also picked up a few R&B/funk/boogie promo LPs from the …

Been wanting to post some great finds since the fall, but I just moved two months ago and haven't had many opportunities to even look through a lot what I've picked up. Some highlights, starting with a pair from this morning's very wet flea market…

As always, drooling over the everyone's finds here motivates me to keep diggin'! Been ages since I've posted but after this morning's flea market I felt inspired to show off some 2015 finds. The thermometer might have been below freezing but there…

Really been enjoying the new site and dove right in to the mix archive first chance I got. First one I listened to was "Records Are People Too," and....wow. There are several tracks that have been flooring me all week. I know I'm kinda late to the…

#22 (41:00 to 43:28) is "I Have Learned To Do Without You" by Mavis Staples. Still haven't gotten anywhere with #24.

The wife had a conference for work last Thurs. thru Sunday in Hilton Head and I got to tag along. I headed down there dreaming of all the southern-fried soul/funk/r&b records I was gonna find, and man there are a TON of thrift stores in that ar…

It's great to see folks still discussing this mix three years later. The song selections are great but to me it's the transitions between songs that really make it sublime. I obsessed over the identities of several of the songs for months and mont…

Not the last funk 45 I picked up but certainly the most intriguing. There's no information at all on this record, no eBay, popsike, discogs, youtube, nothing. Seems unusual for a release on such a major label. Anyone know anything about it? …

Very sad news indeed. My very first Blue Note LP was The Jody Grind and I've been a big fan ever since. He was one of the few people who inspired some Connecticut pride. Love pretty much his whole catalog but Song For My Father will forever be a…

Thanks for the comments, guys. stratasphere said:Nice score, I haven't had that kind of haul since 2011 when one of my spots bought a large collection from an ex distributor for Stax Records. That must have been quite a score. You have…

So last Wednesday it's a slow day at work, and though I've really had no opportunities to hunt for records outside of the flea market, I'm browsing craigslist listings anyway. I come upon one listed 5 hours ago, in the town where I work, doesn't so…

Yesterday I hit up my first flea market in four weeks (who knew having a baby could REALLY put a damper on digging for records?) and while I wouldn't say I made up for the lost time it was a pretty good morning:
-
Yes, these are 100% OGs, from a dude's private collection. Same guy I got everything from in my post from December 2013 Finds, so I actually got 4 People Hold On and 2 Cymandes from him. The SS100 has been a great guide and turned me …

Merry Christmas, Strut! My record digging has been out of commission thanks to a long business trip before Thanksgiving and the birth of my son on Dec. 6. Felt good to get back in the game Sunday when I checked out a dude's private collection...be…

Some recent highlights. Weirdly I've been finding better stuff at the local thrifts than at the flea market over the past several weeks. All but 5 of the LPs are $1 thrift store finds--nothing mind blowing (though I was pretty excited about findin…

I wish I knew more about many genres but especially, as many have already said, Classical. If only because I come across so much of it compared to other things (what thrift store isn't filled with classical LPs?), and my knowledge is pretty much ze…

Big cosign on Deoxit and the Magic Eraser...all the hardcore audio nerds at audiokarma.org swear by that stuff and after using both, I'm a believer. Deoxit works great for just about everything...dirty contacts, scratchy volume knobs, tempera…

Craigslist finds from this morning...$20 for the pile in a dude's basement.

I haven't posted any finds in a long time but I was inspired by some good pickups this morning. First photo are all dolla picks from this morning's flea and yesterday's thrift circuit except for Bill Withers. Now I understand the hyp…

I'm also thankful this got bumped to the top...lots of fantastic stuff here. This is one of my favorites with that "spooky" minor key thing goin' on: Bonus: it's cornball but I still dig:

Just picked up the re-ish of this to see what all the fuss was about. Not knowing what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the album is throughout. My ears perked up when "Come Live With Me" began--I knew that intro from somewhe…

Can't begin to compete with y'all but I've found plenty of stuff I'm happy with over the last few weeks. Mostly flea market finds, now that it's back in season... Probably my favorite find here is that Freddie Scott. …
