I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2011)

well, alright then. i bought some rad stuff yesterday. be back with list. i love records.

okay, a lot of these were 2 dollar records. all from mystery train. but they gave me a nice deal too. cuz they are nice. most expensive rekkerd was the sahara one.

Sahara – sunrise (peters international – 1973)

z-rocks – s/t (z records) (dunno the year. 79? 80? Probably 80. Americans obsessed with joe Jackson! Pretty funny. Sounds great too. Oh and the cars. Obsessed with joe Jackson and the cars.)

widowmaker – s/t (jet/ua – 1976)

funkmaster wizard wiz – put that head out (tuff city 12 inch)

jaguar – s/t (rca – 1977)

nervous eaters – s/t (Elektra – 1980)

karel fialka – still life (pye – 1980)

mylon lefevre – rock & roll resurrection (mercury – 1979) (sleeper of the century! Never dug mylon’s early 70’s southern rock/soul stuff, but this is a late-70’s glam boogie disco rock monster! Produced by allen Toussaint! God I love allen Toussaint in the 70’s.)

alec r. costandinos – hunchback of notre dame (Casablanca – 1978) (needed this.)

eurythmics – savage (bmg – 1987) (love this album. Needed a clean copy.)

aware – new lease on life (iron face – 1989) (hometown nostalgia. Knew these dudes a little. Friends with my friends. Nice guys.)

juicy lucy – s/t (vertigo – 1969) (nice original u.k. vertigo pressing! For 8 bucks!)

randy james – s/t (cream records) (this kinda sucks…)

slack 12 inch (street wise – 1984)

white horse – s/t (capitol – 1977) (already have this, but this was sealed. Nobody wants this record, but I dig it. Psych legend billy nicholls doing the 70’s horse rock thing.)

big stick – crack ‘n’ drag (blast first) (have no idea why I bought this. It was only 2 bucks though. I vaguely remember liking crack attack way back when. But I look at the lyrics now and go, um….)

altered images – I could be happy 12 inch (portrait – 1981)

Suzanne fellini – s/t (Casablanca – 1980) (had high hopes for this, but, eh…)

Gary O’ – s/t (capitol – 1981) (completely bonkers)

A split second – ballistic statues (antler records)

Rosenbloom Electric Chorus & Orchestra – souls of chaos (neutral records) (never heard/heard of this. Branca fans make goth industrial epic with strings and things.)

Jim Sullivan – s/t (playboy – 1972)

AR Kane – 69 (4ad)

Turner And Kirwan Of Wexford – absolutely and completely (peters international – 1977) (this is awesome. Hats off to whoever was responsible for the peters international cosmos series. Bringing euro-prog/psych to american heads in the 70’s. otherwise these albums would be near impossible to get here. Love the Esposito and secret oyster albums I have via peters. And now the sahara album and this one.)

Jimmy Pursey – imagination camouflage (polydor – 1980)

The Sports – don’t throw stones (mushroom – 1978)

Mud – it’s better than working! (private stock – 1976)

t.i.m.e. – s/t (liberty)

Virginia Astley – hope in a darkened heart (Geffen – 1988) (saw this a year ago at mystery train where I bought all this stuff and ever since I have thought DAMN I should have bought that! It was still there.)

Café De Paris – les variations (Buddah – 1975)

Get Sprouts – v/a (1980 belgian comp. album pressed in Holland. The kids, de kreuners, specimen & the rizikoos, toy, the employees, rick tubbax & the taxis, klang, ivy & the teachers, jo lemaire + flouze, the machines, once more, lavvi ebbel, tc.matic, the plant, telex)

Jackson Hawke – forever (cbs – 1976)

Unit 5 – scared of the dark (clone – 1981) (excited to have this! Um, even though I’ve never heard it. But I kinda love everything clone/ohio/akron)

Nasty Pop – s/t (island – 1975)

Nervous Germans/Nervosen Deutschen – s/t (shatter records)

Madcats – s/t (buddah – 1979)

New Heavenly Blue – s/t (atlantic – 1972)

Blind Idiot God – s/t (sst – 1987)

Ivar Avenue Reunion – s/t (rca – 1970) (needed this one! Goldberg, musselwhite, and my heroes lynn carey and neil merryweather.)

Hardin and York – for the world (decca) (siked to find this too. Nice german pressing.)

Michael Quatro – bottom line (sri – 1981) (needed this too!)

don't give up on the Big Stick! the 1st EP (i.e. side 1 of that LP) is where it's at.

I never knew Hope In A Darkened Heart was on vinyl! Something new to look for...

they had every single fields of the nephilim album/ep/single for cheap and i thought it might be kinda cool to be alex in nyc for a day and buy them all, but i chickened out. i'm sure it will all still be there when i go back months from now. i don't remember ever even hearing them back in the day. just knew they were big with mission/sisters/etc fans.

^^^ bangin' haul. jimmy webb! Rosalie! Parson Sound! Snock!!

i won the 2nd help yourself record on ebay, and also another girls of the golden west 78. burning thru my paypal balance, need to sell more crap.

so Ian is that International Harvester record you've been talking about the same as what's on the Parson Sound box? Sov Gott Rose-Marie is totally my favorite song on the box. guessing that record is a different later version? In any case, looks cool.

the int'l harvester record was later recordings by essentially the same band.... i forget whether they recorded as Harvester or Int'l Harvester first, and then they became Trad Gras och Stenar. Different recordings. But I love their records, all of 'em. Harvester "Hemat" is also a pretty amazing record. Still available as a CD from a few years ago iirc.

http://totemsongs.blogspot.com/2008/07/harvester-hemat.html

hello friends, i have purchased a few records and traded for a few records in the past few days...

No Neck Blues Band - A Tabu 2 (NWOS 22)
Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry - Premier Panorama de Musique Concrete (Ducretet-Thompson)
v/a: an anthology of noise and electronic music vol. 1 (Sub Rosa, with Russolo, John Cage, Nam June Paik, Oliveros, Boehmer, Mumma, Maclise etc etc etc. Some of it is silly (lol Neubauten, DJ Spooky) butttt....)
yo la tengo - painful
jesse winchester - third down, 110 to go
casey kelly s/t (west-coast folk-rock/psych fans take note--Sneaky Pete!)
dave cousins - two weeks last summer (recc'd to fans of John Martyn, Michael Chapman and the other 'progessive' UK folkies.)

this jesse winchester record fuckin KILLS dudes.

I got a pretty nice copy of the first Cryan' Shames album recently. Didn't notice until I was heading home that it said re-channeled stereo on the front, but most of it is real stereo. The single "Sugar and Spice" is fake stereo, but the right channel is a normal e.q., so you can just listen to that channel. (I sometimes listen to mono records in one or the other channel of the stereo, too, if one side has less surface noise. Or just because I would rather listen to them that way!)

Always liked "Sugar and Spice" from Nuggets, but I think, in the context of that album, I never realized how good it is!

Also: on Columbia. '60s Columbia records can sound really good, can't they? This album is really good sounding.

filling some holes from the new JDJr $2/$3 bins

This is great.

went to the brooklyn flea today and got a copy of Capt. Beefheart "Mirror Man" for six bucks. busted cover but great vinyl.

also got the first was (not was).

flyin this time, sleeve. next time though!

Shawn Phillips - Bright White two other SP albums there, but they were really beat up.

Bobbie Gentry - The Delta Sweete MONO, from the library of WJRZ

James Last - Non Stop Party 1974/2 has a cover of TSOP spelled with a capitol T and a lowercase sop

Herbie Mann - Memphis Underground upgrade, I think. I know some of my Herbie Mann records have water damaged jackets, but I'm not sure exactly which ones - definitely Impressions Of The Middle East

The Mammas & The Papas - Farewell To The First Golden Era
&
Grace Jones - Island Life I usually avoid greatest hits comps unless they have a non-album singles but I was in a rush since the store was about to close and I didn't read the wall o' text on the album backs; I thought the Ms & the Ps was a live album based on the photos. whatever, they will make good dollar bin fodder eventually

Sonny & Cher - All I Ever Need Is You I was surprised that "You Better Sit Down Kids" wasn't mentioned on the cover but now I see that that wasn't the hit version. nbd.

Billy Joe Thomas - S/T wait wha? STEVIE WONDER JIMMY WEBB JOHN SEBASTIAN CAROLE KING PAUL WILLIAMS BARRY MANN CYNTHIA WEIL DARLENE LOVE CHIP TAYLOR MARK JAMES WAYNE CARSON aaand DUANE EDDY? i'm there!

The Ventures - Wild Things!
The Ventures - Guitar Freakout I'm like 85% sure I have at least one if not both of these but nice clean copies nonetheless. ime once you get more than 10 Ventures albums it's hard to remember which I have. plus they try to mess me up by changing the covers & titles for re-issues

hasil adkins - out to hunch
circle pit - bruise constellation

Haven't bought much lately:

va - riotous assembly LP
xmal deutschland - incubus succubus 12"
best coast - when i'm with you 7"
box elders - hole in my head 7"
aerospace - a minute history of air and space 7"

Off to LA in 2 weeks so there much splurging in Amoeba & Fingerprints then...

is fingerprints in long beach?

That's the one.

I don't know how long it has been since you've been there, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for Fingerprints these days. I went there about a month ago after not going there since 2006 (when it was totally awesome and full of cheap shit in good condition) and it is pretty terrible these days. Everything not scratched to shit is overpriced to an absurd degree (they were selling a used copy of Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder for 12 dollars whereas I've seen it for $2-$3 everywhere else) and everything in their $1-$3 bin was completely beat to shit and almost all priced towards the $3 side of the equation. So unless you want to pay $3 for a copy of Surrealistic Pillow with a huge gash on it, you may wanna skip Fingerprints.

It has gone from being one of the the best places for used vinyl in town to a place I don't think I'll ever waste the gas heading down towards again. I can only comment on their used vinyl though. It still might be a fine store for new stuff. Sorry for all the negativity, just felt the need to maybe save you some gas money.

On a more positive note, Poobah in Pasadena has gotten a lot better recently though. It seems like their used vinyl pricing and quality has switched places with Fingerprints compared to a few years ago when Poobah was floundering and Fingerprints was awesome.

Used vinyl is getting harder and harder to find and/or more and more expensive... I was in a local store I love today and even the sound effects records in the new arrivals bin were $5.95. It made me sad.

Surely it has something to do with vinyl's increasing popularity in terms of demand (vinyl getting harder to find) as well as a recognition from suppliers (vinyl being more expensive). I wonder if this is more a fad or a long term thing. If it's a fad, we can look forward to a new wave of used vinyl as people abandon their collection. If it's a long term thing, then used vinyl is going to only get more expensive. Of course reissues make a lot more sense when demand is growing.

I lean towards thinking it's a fad for a lot of people, present company excluded of course.

i got in the mail:
larry jon wilson - let me sing you my song
michael nesmith - standard ranch stash

vinyl is getting harder to find?

It is, actually, now word has got around that mint vinyl is/can be investable.

got mac gayden 'skyboat' in the mail.
and yesserday i bought that trad gras record from last year. and, uh, something else too i think.

i was so bored today i actually closed my store and went record shopping. i'm back now though.

with records.

if you scored a choice set of scratched Tony Bennett albums at the Salvy, those were mine. got rid of a box of beat-up dogs

PS sweet new JDJr 'Vintage Vinyl' signage

thanks! we love our sign.

nah we headed up to brattleboro for a quick breather. got some turn it up stuff. some jazz stuff. nothing much at the thrift store there.

greenfield sal's makes me weep a little these days. so empty. nothing cool ever. did they piss off the general of the salvation army or something?

2 amazing early-pressing Aretha Franklin LPs (Arrives and Now), never even seen those green & blue Atlantic inner labels before

http://jonolivermusic.com/images/album_covers/plug_me_in_label.jpg

unfortunately one of them is the wrong record! Still Aretha w/ green & blue label, but a different LP than the jacket.

I was really stingy about buying cuz I was raising money for our return trip to Peru in April.

I honestly don't think I've posted to one of these threads in like six months ... I'm way too lazy .. but suffice to say bought like 200 records in that time frame..

since there was no NFL Sunday (well, ok, there was the Pro Bowl, and I *did* watch the 1st quarter until the NFC ran away with the damn thing) .. I spent the day wandering around Chicago buying rekkids .. got the following:

Heart - Bebe le Strange (50 cents. I already had every Heart LP up through 'Dog & Butterly' .. no reason not to drop the two quarters to get this one -- their 1st Roger Fisher-less LP -- too, if for nothing else "Even It Up")

Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request (I am the hugest Stones fan ever, but amazingly I've *never* owned my own copy of this thing. Picked up a "good" condition starter copy with the coveted 3D cover for $16. It'll work, sounds pretty good actually.)

Rickey Nelson - Rickey (orig on Imperial for 2 BUCKS!!! store rated it as "Good" condition, but it was totally salvagable, plays quite nice, even)

i got V/A : Ishilan N-Tenere as well. haven't had a chance to listen yet, but typically outstanding packaging (um, are you listening, amateurist?)

Chic - s/t - perfect copy, 2 bucks, didn't own it for some strange reason

Deep Purple - Shades Of ... OK, this was .50 cents .. pretty damn trashed -- and I already owned a mint 80s reish -- but .50 cents for an orig on Cosby's label couldn't be passed up. Doesn't sound half bad, either! Lil' crackle, but the fantastic rocker "Mandrake Root" busts through it all , which is the important thing when considering this LP

Elvin Bishop - Juke Joint Jump. 1 buck. great condition, his 2nd LP for Capricorn

V/A - AMerican GIgolo soundtrack ... Giorgio Moroder action -- Blondie's "Call Me" was, I swear to god, the first ever record I ever bought with my only money. The 45. I played it over and over again for days on end. My parents probably worried about me. Yet, I've never actually owned the soundtrack LP. another one for 50 cents. totally decent shape. Album versh is completely different from the 45!!!!! OMG I am 10 years old again!

Golden Earring - Eight Miles High -- actually went out on a limb and plunked down the 15 bucks for this thing. 1969 LP on Atlantic. WLP. 20 minute side-long version of "Eight Miles High". Haven't listened yet, we shall see...

Boz Scaggs and Band -- 1 buck, why not

The Cars - s/t -- amazing, never owned this thing either. "Bye Bye Love" is the greatest song ever, and now I finally own it on LP in a perfect copy (4 bucks) after thirty years of classic rock radio upbringing! as Flipper said, life is the only thing worth living for

Nazareth - Expect No Mercy -- 1 buck, has their amazing Randy Newman cover, "Gone Dead Train", one of my fave ever Newman tunes

Michael Jackson - Bad -- ok, I paid 10 bucks for this semi-turd, but you can't deny the initial one-two punch of "Bad" + "The Way You Make Me Feel". Fuck it. 10 bucks is worth it, it's stone mint too. Everybody wants all these MJ vinyls anyways these days, doubt I'll see it cheaper

Supersilent - 11 -- newish vinyl-only alb from the Norwegian nauts, I do love them so

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum -- only just the album that completely changed my life at 18 years old, as I walked around campus at U of C with this thing blaring on my headphones ( my tape recording of my college station's LP copy, because the Lester Bangs anthology had inspired me to hear it.) have owned CD copies for years, bought this 9.99 "good" condition vinyl copy, original on Phillips, embossed-ass cover. Sounds amazing!! Way better than it looks. I am happier than a pig in shit. 10 bucks for the greatest album ever made. What a great Sunday. Doesn't even bother me that Calvin Johnson dropped the first pass in the Pro Bowl now

Steve Goodman - s/t -- 3 bucks, you know, never been a big Goodman guy ( and it has nothing to do with his Cub fandom, I swear), but for three bucks, I had to get the thing. Prine just continually talks so lovingly about the guy, I almost bought the thing out of respect for John. And it *was* a nice original on Buddha for 3 bucks. And of course, "City of New Orleans". God. I saw Allen Toussaint cover it two weeks ago at Symphony Center, and I have to believe that the performance and energy that Allen infused (super slowed-down, dramatic) moved more than myself to tears

Anthrax - Spreading the Disease -- mint copy, but I shelled out $15 bucks for it. ouch. fuck it, I've been on a huge thrash nostalgia trip the last couple of years, for whatever reason. Happy to be able to slide this one onto the shelf..

Sic Alps - Napa Asylum

is this the new one on drag city? how is it?

it's the new one -- on first listen, it's more boring than USEZ

Sexual Harrassment - 'I Need A Freak' LP/EP/12" thing arrived today

Girls In The Garage 12 (aka Swinging Mademoiselles 3) on lovely blue vinyl yesterday

Also picked up a Pastels reissue on Fire ('Up For A Bit') for emil.y, as well as a couple of 7"s, namely the new Chain & The Gang and a Sexy Kids 7" on Slumberland.

i like that sexy kids 7"! have you heard the related band PROPER ORNAMENTS? really good 7" out on make a mess records.

I don't know how long it has been since you've been there, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for Fingerprints these days. I went there about a month ago after not going there since 2006 (when it was totally awesome and full of cheap shit in good condition) and it is pretty terrible these days. Everything not scratched to shit is overpriced to an absurd degree

You're right it hasn't been that good recently - I first went in 2003 and it was great then, but I still usually find some cool stuff that I don't see in Amoeba. But I'm staying in Lakewood so we usually end up going to Long Beach a few times so I expect I'll end up there anyway.

i accidentally bought this record thinking it was the Billy Lyall fronted, future members of 10cc & Alan Parsons, band Pilot (of "Magic") fame. i've been really into them lately. instead it's Blue Cheer's Leigh Stephens side project. i almost didn't realize it was the wrong band for a while. both are super poppy, but this record just isn't what i was looking for. a bit rockier, kinda like those random beach boys rock songs that i never liked. kinda bummed.

http://www.redtelephone66.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pilot-thumb.png

i would be bummed too. cuz that record ain't so good. the stephens one. and its not even really a leigh stephens side-project. he's just on it. the other pilot - the one that you don't have - is really good.

ya

i like that sexy kids 7"! have you heard the related band PROPER ORNAMENTS? really good 7" out on make a mess records.

I hadn't, but thanks, this is good!

fraction - moon blood (new reissue with bonus 10"--used copy, paid a fraction(!) of the list price; wouldn't have wanted to pay the list price.)
pauline oliveros - the wanderer (been looking for this)
pheromoans LP (this is great. think Shadow Ring meets Desperate Bicycles or The Fall or Wire. Artpunk at its finest. Swell Mapsy?)

*IS* Fraction any good? never heard it. big Doors fan though.

and oh yeah, that Pilot LP blows ... a serious disappointment (think I posted abt it on ILV when I bought it a couple years back) .. kinda terrible, really.

'Red Weather' or even 'Silver Metre' over that thing any day..

if you like the Doors I think you'd like Fraction. the vocals are pretty ott but it grew on me. some of the guitar on it is pretty scorching.

Fela Kuti Box Set 1

two yazoo LPs.

v/a: the roots of robert johnson
and
the reverend gary davis

been doing some selling off of the collection the past couple of days, took a stack of LPs to Amoeba (probably got a little ripped off but whatever, this wasn't ebay fodder) and sold some at a yard sale. used the amoeba trade credit to pick up:

musik von harmonia
living with yourself - mark mcguire

got some credit left over, pondering the marisa anderson lp on mississippi and some others.

any recommendations on recent emeralds-ish sounding music on vinyl?

I'd say pick up the Expo 70 lps "Where Does Your Mind Go?" & "Sonic Messenger" -- both are beyond excellent.

and the Imaginary Softwoods 2lp--John Elliot from Emeralds. mellower and more minimal; excellent.

I am not omar but thanks for those rec's

today:

Goblin - Suspiria on Canadian Attic
Goblin - Profundo Rosso orig on Cinevox

$20 each! Pretty good deal imo.

bob seger - brand new morning ($1!)

Also would recommend John Elliot's Mist albums (Self-titled and Glowing Net) as well. They're not too far off the sounds and textures of Emeralds.

Pauline Oliveros - For Valerie Solans & Marilyn Monroe In Recognition of Their Desperation

oops Solanas

jesus, ian, where'd you find the Seger for a buck?

junk shop in brooklyn! some cover wear (no seam splits) and light surface noise... solid VG+

sweet score dude (even if the record is kinda enh, that goes for good coin)

lol yeah. I flipped thru so many late 70s early 80s smoove lps, things billed as "the east coast answer to tom scott". sample interior dialog: "dammit, I already have all these late period bob james albums". prolly missed some good stuff - there was a new age xmas album that had a commodore 64 performance credit that I might pick up if it's still there when I get back.

no turntable for a couple of days, so I haven't got to listen to most of these yet. I really really like Play Bach Vol 2, so excited to hear the rest of that. Also on the Eddie Harris I finally get to hear what it would sound like if Steve Winwood joined Yes.

got some 78s last week @ 2/$.75 but I don't have 'em in front of me right now.

btw here is a tip for you thrifty music lovers. make sure to wear your beret, dark glasses, and goatee when visiting all Hampton Roads area Goodwill retail stores to recieve your 5% beatnik discount.

Grateful Dead - Wake Of The Flood
Afghanistan: Music From Kabul on Lyrichord
Arica 2LP what the hell is this and why is it so expensive?
Balance - S/T LP on Incus 1973!

"Let Go" is a weird record.. do you dig the "Rainforests, Oceans etc" LP? It's a period of Fahey I find really fascinating but rarely re-visit.. "Ma" is great. Cozmic funk.

I was just reading the liner notes to Let Go and it seems... strange. I haven't heard Rainforests or that Rivers & Religion album or the Tasmania record, they all kind blur together for me.

Some more normal prices for the Arica here, still a crazy score for a buck.

Fusetron had dead stock of the Arica record at some point... definitely a great dollar score. I really like Rivers & Religion, it's got a lot of folks playing on it, but there are some gorgeous moments. Along with "Railroad I" i think it's a pretty underrated fahey album.

i've got heaven. i really like it.

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20030914/2558361823.jpg

Ma was my pick of the week one week. love that album.

Skot's Vinyl Tip Of The Week

i think you can still get arica cds from them. i think once upon a time they were actually selling old vinyl on their website. but i could be wrong about that.

MA rocks. Hum Along and Dance!

You really don't know Rare Earth? They're pretty badass. Get Ready and Evolution are both p good too

apparently arica is some culty thing. also where jordorowsky got influence from?

taj mahal travelers - august 1974 (2000 era reissue, still bangin, minty.)

sam signaoff -- blue duck fly to north country (for ian)

jimmy hughes - steal away lp

guy clark - texas cookin' (weird edsel pressing.)

and the new alvarius b record. which is... pretty good.

Some of these were emil.y's birthday gifts but our collection is joint so I'll include all:

Pärson Sound - 3xLP boxset
Renaldo & The Loaf - 'Songs For Swinging Larvae' (lovely near-as-mint on Ralph from 1981)
Cluster - 'Zuckerzeit' (reiss copy from 2009)
Slingshot - 'You Shook Me All Night Long' 12" (this is amazing, electro AC/DC cover, samples 'Tour de France', from 1983)

Roll on payday.

minty Swinging Larvae, sweet

the year thus far:

alastair galbraith - mass
richard youngs - atlas of hearts
tony conrad - four violins (1964)
sun ra - rocket ship rock, strange strings
bud powell - broadcast performances
charlie parker - broadcast performances vol.2
old and new dreams - s/t on ecm
cecil taylor - silent tongues
roland kirk - introducing roland kirk and featuring ira sullivan, the inflated tear
various - no energy crisis (nice impulse! "new thing" sampler with marion brown, ayler, coltrane, sanders, sun ra, et al)
various - songs and ballads of the anthracite miners (field recordings from 1946; first track reminds me of nothing so much as some of the unaccompanied pieces on trout mask replica, other than that not so hot)
various - songs and ballads of the bituminous miners (1940 field recordings with way more variety/interest than the above)
june tabor - airs and graces
the watersons - sound, sound your instruments of joy
alan stivell - e langonned
tri yann an naoned - s/t
davey graham - folk blues and all points in between (compilation from the sixties decca albums)

the fall - i am kurious oranj
chocolate watch band - forty four
the jacks - 2nd jacks show
goblin - suspiria
chris and cosey - action
velvet underground - everything you've ever heard about (3 lp boot set)

and i see 4 men with beards have reissued the davy graham/shirley collins record, hopefully with better pressings than the last couple i've heard from them, so that too in short order.

Ian, are you damning with faint praise? Or just making an understatement? (re: Alvarius)
The track you played on the radio was cool.

i'm not sure. i gotta listen to it again. it's a good record, but there are songs on there that he's done on other records etc. i think i just was just hoping for a fresh batch of bizzaro songs. it's not nearly as nutty as other alvarius efforts.

Slingshot - 'You Shook Me All Night Long' 12" (this is amazing, electro AC/DC cover, samples 'Tour de France', from 1983)

i have their 'mashup' of billie jean and steely dan. pretty retarded

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsRlh4fn39g

I just ordered that Alvarius B album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIWgvJ-fNGE

This is better I think - there was a shit hot YT with the song used on The Scene (Detroit dance show) a la 'Sharevari' but that's down now dang it.

and after making an unplanned stop at the local record shop:

don cherry - live in ankara (1978 repress)
don cherry/ed blackwell - el corazón
bengt berger - bitter funeral beer (featuring cherry and at least one former trad gras/arbete och fritid member)

but the stuff i passed on due to lack of money/steep prices, holy shit.

oof been lookin for that live in ankara FOREVER! what is "local" for you??

for me, local is dunedin. should i mention the guy's pretty impressive (if overpriced, in my opinion) flying nun stock?

anyway, stuff i passed on that i can still remember: pangaea (japanese press), live evil, coltrane's live in seattle record, a couple of the art ensemble of chicago's ecm records, a bunch of nice looking pierre henry, some weird looking german early seventies folk with pretty impressive psychish cover art by a band i've never heard of, far east travelling band, etc, etc.

actually, think it was the concert in japan, not seattle record.

how much for JPN pangaea? damn i gotta go to NZ.

it was going for $200 nz, so about $150 us at the moment. so, pretty pricey. didn't check it out too closely (was too busy thinking "holy shit"), but the cover was pretty much top notch. you don't normally find this kind of stuff around here too often.

live in ankara is a $75 record these days around here!

$35 nz well spent, then! now i shall go and actually listen to it.

godspeed. bitter funeral beer is a really really awesome record, too, btw!

Just got all three Mike Nesmith and the First National Band records and Live in Palais for twenty five bucks at a used record store in Jeff City. American Metaphysical Circus was in the dollar bin, I grabbed it and gave it to my buddy. Real clean, too.

The Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies record (Am Meta Circus, that is) I mean shit that's worth a buck, right?

it is definitely worth a buck.

yeah damn maybe a buck fifty

i found a copy w/a bit of a water damaged cover for $3

another good price

had to take my bandmate to gtr center in el cerrito today -- couldnt handle going there, and took the opportunity to go buy records at DOWN HOME MUSIC (arhoolie warehouse-cum-sometimes-good-store):

bola sete -- ocean
shona mbira music (exp series, my third mbira LP from them, and the first two are some of my #1 alltime ethno jamz)
joe tex -- i gotcha
tubeway army LP ($4 i love listen to the sirens)
cabaret voltaire -- 3 crepuscle tracks
peter lang -- lycurgus the wolf driver (is this gonna suck? or will it be the best album ive ever heard?)
charlie haden -- the golden number (duet tracks w shepp/cherry/hawes/coleman)
soundtrack from LOUIE BLUIE (on arhoolie, so kinda no surprise, but v underpriced, in great shape still in shrink! usually DHM is good about pricing their own stuff, but this just slipped or something?)

got a copy of Doug Hream Blunt last night. super weird, super raer outsider funk from 2000 that sounds like it's from 83.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laP4Mu00SzM

here's aquarius' writeup

BLUNT, DOUG HREAM Gentle Persuasion (self-released) lp 14.98
It's pretty phenomenal that this record went from getting the suspicious side-eye when we first took it in on consignment, to becoming one of our favorite "WTF?" records of the year! When it first appeared, no one seemed to know where it came from (it had been brought in by Blunt himself, one day). And we weren't too sold on the cover, a generic photograph that looked like it was shot in the eighties, of this fellow Blunt, standing with a woman (a close friend of his, in a head to toe orange outfit that looks like it could have been prison garb, and who as it turns out, may no longer be alive) in front of a Mercedes parked in front of the mural on the side of the O'Farrell Theater on Polk street in San Francisco. Also, whenever there's a bunch of "ASCAP" logos plastered all over the front and back cover, our internal "uh-oh" meter goes way off.
So it just sat on our new arrivals shelf for a few weeks. But then a couple of folks (one of whom runs the Gloriette label, who have supplied us with some Ariel Pink and Nite Jewel records) started asking about it, because they had heard about this record, so we gave it a listen and were pretty surprised and rather blown away by what we were hearing. A lo-fi but breezy outsider funk, made with repetitive cheap-sounding keyboards loops and tones (the kind being currently exploited by Dam-Funk, Ariel Pink, and James Pants), strange metallic tropical guitar tones that sound more like steel drums and flute sounds than actual guitar, and sly, laid-back vocals and catchy, infectiously naive grooves that work their way into our heads and never let go. Everybody here ended up really really digging it.
We sold one copy immediately to someone in the store when playing it, and then when we tried to contact Blunt to get more copies, we discovered that somehow we'd neglected to get his contact info, d'oh! The cd had no contact information, and searches online only revealed that the title track, a raunchy but coded come-on to a sexy stranger, was included on a James Pants mix. This only piqued our interest further, as Blunt's skewed Caribbean inflected songs would obviously be simpatico with James Pants' more recent tropical themed output. We could also see folks into Ariel Pink and Dam-Funk getting WAY into this. So we thought maybe this record was a rare private press record from the eighties. It does seem to have a strange hard-to-pin-down-time-wise quality.
Thankfully, Blunt eventually came back in and we got more copies and found out that he had pressed vinyl copies too. He also told us that this record was recorded ten years ago in 2000, but that didn't diminish our new found love for this record's questionable mystery, as it still predates all of the artists mentioned above that it reminds us of, though we're pretty sure Blunt probably has never heard of any of them. It also has the left of center oddness of other outsider funk artists like Tonetta, or Wicked Witch, albeit way more toned down than either of those two. Not that it's completely off the wall weird, but it's one of those records that we went into with such hesitation and were pleasantly surprised that we then became totally enamored with its home-brewed charm.
The lp is 5 tracks, with extra shorter versions of the songs "Fly Guy" and "Gentle Persuasion" and comes housed in an old school white cut-out 12" sleeve. The cd version has two extra songs and instrumental versions of four of the tracks. Oh, and the vinyl has a gold star sticker that boldly proclaims "HIT!" We couldn't agree more!

sounds cool!

Yeah, this song is great.

jax, if u pick me up a copy i will paypal you for the full cost + shipping + enuff to buy yourself a beer.

kurt vile -- smoke ring for my halo
dum dum girls -- he gets me high
debris LP (used copy of the reissue at aQ)
friedman/liebezeit 5 7 12" (whoa this is GOOD!)

record fair haul: almost everything from the bargain bins..

jane and jeff hudson - flesh (still sealed)
alan stivell - a l'olympia

sylvester - call me
lowell george - thanks i'll eat it here
fela kuti - original sufferhead
bob dylan - highway 61 revisited
genesis - selling england by the pound - which appears to be signed by collins, gabriel and rutherford...

good digging, dude. signed genesis is ridiculous. I got a signed Maynard Ferguson record at a yard sale once. Also a signed Al Caiola record at a flea market. Oh yeah, and a signed copy of Direct Current's "Everybody Here Must Party" at a thrift store.

lone - pineapple crush
terry reid - bang, bang you're dead
west india company - ave maria (asha bhosle & dudes from Blancmange doing electrocosmic)
ymo - service
synergy - sequencer
joe zawinul - di.a.lects (this sounds like it's gonna be awesome. keyboards, drum machines and 'world' vocals. kinda like zazou bikaye)
barre phillips - three day moon (on ecm)
demis roussos - attitudes (w/keyboards by kristian schultze)
808 state - pacific state/cubik

that live stivell record is pretty great. bought a nurse with wound record off a guy a couple of years ago that turned out to be signed by david tibet and some other guy (stapleton, maybe? can't make it out), anyways:

arik brauer - s/t
leroy jenkins - mixed quintet
paul bley - open, to love
albert ayler - witches & devils
javanese court gamelan vol. 3
sun city girls - dante's disneyland inferno 3 lp box

I thinks its harder to find a nurse / current record that ISN'T signed...

What do you think of the Arik Brauer?... the three panel fold-out cover is the best part of the record I think..

verrrrry excited to receive this from a discogs'er:

Yay! Such a great record - that's the version I own, too. Well, actually... hope Craig didn't flog it to pay off our debts...

Most recent purchases:

Eddie & Sunshine - Perfect Strangers (found out about this through the Gloria Mundi thread, thanks ilx)
Chin Chin - Sound of the Westway (Slumberland reissue)

Birthday vinyl from last month:

Renaldo & The Loaf - Songs For Swinging Larvae
Slingshot - You Shook Me All Night Long 12" (this is AWESOME. Sadly the video from 'The Scene' has been taken down due to a copyright claim)
Cluster - Zuckerzeit (always had other Cluster records, but never this one, so crazy good to finally have it)
Pärson Sound - Pärson Sound 3xLP box set
Zun Zun Egui - Kass To La Senn EP

yeah, was totally suckered in by the cover art. a bit too poppy for my liking, but some of the stuff on the second side was decent (mostly the parts with what sounds like a kid singing along).

so, in other words i think i'll give his other records that were sitting there a miss. looking at some of his art, it almost has a hieronymus bosch as redone by leonora carrington look to it.

'shinki chen and friends' - shinki chen
'the early years 1927-1933' - blind willie mctell
'when the raven has come to earth' - strawberry path
'hardcore will never die, but you will' - mogwai
'peel sessions' - jesus and mary chain

unicorn - blue pine trees (used to have this, got a cheap copy. i dig this record.)
mickey newbury - heaven help the child
mike auldridge - dobro
jim ringer lp on philo
u.s. apple corps. (xian psych inna jammy west coasstylee>
charles brauer - out in the open (mellow folk)
vernon wray - wasted re-ish
rare earth - ma
gary stewart - out of hand
morgen re-ish
peralta (slack key informed guitar album with a few vocal tracks that go in a folk-rock direction. i think steve shasta would like this lp. on the kawika label out of hawaii.)
casey l. adams - i love love and good times (private folk. earnest and energetic but kinda boring.)

picked up a copy of "guerrilla warfare" by the hot boys for a dollar. probably not super rare but i'm surprised there even was a vinyl release

dan melchior -- assemblage blues
medication -- judgment day 12"
slug guts LP
cult of youth LP

thrift scores:

film music of ennio morricone vol. 1
kitty wells s/t (vocalion)
roy clark - yesterday, when i was young
roy brown - nuyol
spirit in the flesh lp on metromedia
john coltrane, idrees suleiman, et al - interplay for two trumpets and two tenors (reissue)
don gibson - am i that easy to forget?
v/a - SOUL (cool psychedelic afro cover)
francesco de gregori - viva l'italia (had another of record of his that was folk-pop, this is probably bad.)

question for people of ilv,

has it ever happened to you that you walk into the record store really excited, find a bunch of cool stuff you want to buy, are excited about it, and then somewhere in between having a big stack of records, deciding which ones youre going to buy, and paying all of the excitement & joy is gone and you feel kind of shitty?

this happens to me every once in a while and i'm not sure why

buyer's remorse

got a bunch of early rave/house 12"s

Psychotropic - Hypnosis (12")
Laura D. - Be Alright (12")
Alternative Dance Indulgence* - Lovebeat / Testify (12", W/Lbl, Sta)
Rhythim Is Rhythim - It Is What It Is (12", RE)
Mayday - Nude Photo '88 (12")
Pfantasy Club* - Never Give Up (12")
Nitro Deluxe - This Brutal House (Remix) (12")
Weathermen, The - Deep Down South (12", EP)
20 Fingers - Short Dick Man (12") [lol, i dj at a bar that caters to a lot of transgendered. thought this'd be funny]
Jaydee - Plastic Dreams (Remixes) (12")
Shaft (2) - Roobarb & Custard (12")
Terrorize - It's Just A Feeling (12")
Jinny - Never Give Up (12")
10th Planet, The - Strings Of Life™ (Ashley Beedle Remix) (12")

xp this happens to me some times. I usually take a deep breath, flex my legs, give the arms a good stretch, re-evaluate my position in life, and browse through housewares for a few minutes. Then I go back to my stack and flip through it again, look at the condition again if something is iffy, move some things to/from my maybe pile, then pick up my purchases and proceed to the register. Occasionally I'll just put everything back if I'm not that enthusiastic about anything. I already have so many damn records and there's never any reason to feel obligated to buy anything just to buy it.

Well - wait, unless it's a Burl Ives record I don't have, I am absolutely required to buy that.

pip proud - adreneline & richard

which makes me very :-)

traded for some LPs yesterday--

wooooooooo what a long day. people weren't really buying at the record show today like they were in december, but i made up for them by buying a ton of stuff. got some great deals. probably ended up spending about 150 more than i sold, but that's okay. got great stuff for me and for the store. will go thru it tonight with a bottle of wine. got so much great funky stuff.

rufus hung with me at the show ALL DAY. what a trooper. how many 8 year olds can look at records for hours on end? love that dude.

rufus is da coolest kid!

bonnie dobson - s/t
klaatu - s/t (this record is brilliant)
kay gardner - mooncircles (thanks pete. i found this in the womyn's section at berk rasp. just like u said!)
michael hedges - breakfast in the field
scotch measure (didn't know what this was, but it looked cool and was a buck. actually looked like king crimson's red. it's a kinda trad british folk record, which isn't really my thing right now, but it's really good)

skot, if you decide to sell that levitts record you have a buyer in me.

and i don't think i know the ogan/lamb! will keep lookin.

oh you need it so bad!!!! everyone here does. except for maybe poo. and i'm not selling poo short, just don't think i've heard him express a desire for such thing.

but god what an album. and that song!!! one of the best. up there with gene and nesmith. for real. marlin greene production is out of this world! spring for a very clean copy.

Unknown DJ is awesome. I would buy anything on techno hop if it were affordable.

I got Abba's Waterloo album recently, too, and the sound was really surprising on it. Much hotter, but less definition. Compare how the same songs sound on the first Greatest Hits LP.

How's that Angelic Upstarts LP? I've never listened to any of their stuff post Reason Why, from around 1983-ish.

Just got in from record fair in Kings Cross, got these:

XTC - making plans for nigel 7"
fad gadget - collapsing new people 7"
primitives (uk) - really stupid 12"
uk subs - countdown 7"
revillos - motorbike beat 7"
devo - through being cool 7"
(bargain bin ^^)
gash - gash 2xLP
albertos y lost trios paranoias - heads down no nonsense mindless boogie 2x7"
english dogs - mad punx and english dogs LP
va - the you'll hate this record record LP
adrenalin O.D. - humungousfungusamongus LP
va - the akron compilation LP

Dude with tons of awesome KBD punk & European & Japanese HC was there again, drooled over his amazing collection but all I could afford was the English Dogs LP (which was pretty good price and is my favourite LP of theirs).

Also got these at gigs:

sourpatch - mira mija 7"
split - brilliant colors + girls names - 7"
bearsuit - when will i be queen 7"
liechtenstein - passion for water 7"
tyvek - time change 7"

And these off Ebay/Discogs/charity shops

split - posies + gigolo aunts - i am the cosmos 7"
kenickie - catsuit city 7"
mecca normal - orange 7"
mecca normal - from the surface 7"
mecca normal - cardboard box house of love 7"
mecca normal - rose 7"
mecca normal - armchairs fit through doorways 7"
toy dolls - nellie the elephant 7"

Woah, that is a great haul.

xp Yeah, this Waterloo was really well taken care of, with one of those hotsy totsy anti-static inner sleeves and a blue-tinted, heavy-duty protective outer sleeve. The record reminds me of, like, Grease or American Graffiti or something. It's still got an ABBA sound, but there's something classically rockin' about it, too. I wonder if European pressings sound quite the same.

Actually that Gash is just 1 LP but it's in a gatefold sleeve and I thought it was a double. Aussie HC band from the late 80s, mostly women.

I thought it was foetus until now.

"How's that Angelic Upstarts LP? I've never listened to any of their stuff post Reason Why, from around 1983-ish."

it's okay. i mean, if you like them, there is some okay stuff on it. "I Wanna Knighthood" is cool. but the production is pretty bad and there is a lack of energy in general. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't already a fan. Power of the Press from 1986 is actually much better. i'm missing a couple of the other 80's albums. i'd probably pick them up for ten bucks or under. 2,000,000 Voices and We Gotta Get Out Of This Place are still my faves.

like, for instance, the song "Our Day Will Come" on Terraces would have been a raging battle cry five years earlier, but on this album its just kinda anemic cuzza the bad sound/production. and even the song "Blood On The Terraces". should totally rule. but even the broken bottle sound effects sound weak.

at that point mensi should have just ditched the band and gone solo. made folk albums. maybe a drum machine. that would have been cool. or pull a pursey and get weird. but we can't change history!

I mostly lurk in awe of your hauls ;) but this time I've got some sort of a haul myself (bought at last weekend's Utrecht Mega Record & CD Fair)

Michael Rother - Fernwärme LP
Ashra - Correlations LP
Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air LP
Micael Bundt - Just Landed Cosmic Kid LP
David Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing (Again) b/w John I'm Only Dancing 12"
Rheingold - Rheingold LP

would haul

I've seen photos of that utrecht fair - insane! - definitely plan to get there one of these days..

lotta liquid sky/mo' wax/asphodel 12"s
sleeveless orb & aphex 12"s
muslimgauze 10", dj wally 9"
cook labs lp label sampler
various crooklyn dub consortium
dirt style & toasted marshmallow breaks (doubles)
4 or 5 bbc sound effects records

I've seen photos of that utrecht fair - insane! - definitely plan to get there one of these days..

sweet haul, ss. love that era.

found a new spot where the lps are a quarter:

Air Force Systems Command - Take A Giant Step (2x lps of primo Cold War Propaganda from around 1968. Radio spot interviews with test pilots, generals, engineers, etc. Several tracks anticipate the upcoming lunar landing. Would actually sound really good over some '98 NYC HAHDKOR JUNGIL MASSIV. Take A Giant Step is designed to keep an informed America a strong America)

Leonard Bernstein & the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington - Songfest (Musical settings of poems by Frank O'Hara, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Julia de Burgos, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Anne Bradstreet, Gertrude Stein, e. e. cummings, Conrad Aiken, Gregory Corso, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edgar Allan Poe)

Also picked up the Ragtime OST

got great stuff at platterpus in easthampton last night. had a nice chat with the owner. he's been selling records in the area for years. he gets cool consignment stuff from greg, a cat i know from around here. greg was in the band feathers. you guys probably dig feathers, right?

the hot dogs - say what you mean (ardent - 1973) (more terry manning majik)

willie hutch - havin' a house party (motown - 1977)

dirty tricks - night man (polydor - 1976)

duke & the drivers - cruisin' (abc - 1975)

russell dashiell - elevator (epic - 1978)

danny hollen - s/t (tumbleweed - 1971)

gladstone - s/t (abc - 1972)

canyon - high mountain (columbia)

fishbaugh, fishbaugh, and zorn - s/t (cbs - 1972)

sir robert charles griggs - the legend of sir robert charles griggs (capitol - 1973)

feedtime - cooper s (rough trade - 1988)

christopher cloud - blown away (chelsea - 1973)

centaurus - s/t (azra - 1978)

arthur gee-whizz band - city cowboy (tumbleweed - 1972)

el chicano - viva tirado (kapp)

razmataz - for the first time (united artists)

l.a. getaway - s/t (atco - 1971)

clark-hutchinson - a=mh2 (sire/london - 1969) (clean u.s. pressing. didn't even know this came out in the states. couldn't pass it up for 20 bucks. now i have the cool 2xlp reissue thanks to ian and this copy. want to own all their albums eventually.)

mississippi - s/t (fantasy - 1973)

natchez trace - last time together (avenue - 1972) (this is beautiful. u.k. country rock. so mellow and pretty)

michael lessac - sleep faster, we need the pillow (columbia) (crazy dylan-esque 60's folk-rock. sounds like john hammond spent a zillion dollars on the production. god bless him.)

ian, keep an eye out for the natchez trace album. never seen one before and i'm pretty sure it was only released in the u.k. really good and especially recommended for charley d and milo fans.

Dunno about Feathers but I dig Feedtime!

Re: Upstarts - I passed up a copy of Teenage Warning on Sunday, it wasn't in great condition and was £8, so don't really regret it. I'd probably agree with your picks anyway, they were better on the 2nd & 3rd albums than that one. Your description of Blood On The Terraces doesn't really surprise me, it was kinda what I expected, they were already going the route of bad (i.e. overly slick/weak) production values by the time of Reason Why and Last Tango In Moscow, something that affected most of the bigger names in UK punk in the mid-80s unfortunately (if they didn't just split up altogether).

i love feedtime and i've only really been listening to them the last couple of years. don't know how they slipped past me in the 80's. i definitely remember seeing the records everywhere and they are totally in line with what i was playing back then. better late than never!

Thomas Dolby - golden age of wireless (1st us version)
Abba - greatest hits vol. 2
Krang - "speed tent" b/w "spirit animal"
Snakeflowerz - "memory castle" (the b side of this is good and sort of took me off guard)
Personal & the pizzas - "dead meat" b/w "Joanie"
Useless eaters - cheap talk: the singles
V/a - searching in the wilderness (international-ish 60s beat/garage comp)
Cecil barfield - south Georgia blues
Stephan eicher - spielt noise boys

And after a lot of (sort of) nagging I finally got a copy of the slippery slopes tape and it's as good as I hoped.

i got some stuff yesterday! let's see if i can remember it all...

i got two chi-lites LPs
i got a reissue of 'paraibo' from hugo filho (shadoks, used, cheapish.)
gilded palace of sin (upgraded to a copy with a nicer sleeve; mine has seam splits.)
uh, that recent luc ferrari LP
and i got that electronic music record on folkways, by that guy whose name i don't remember--"elecronic music with tar and sehtar"
jerry corbitt 'corbitt'
charie poole vol. 3 on county (i have all four volumes now!)
david wiffen - coast to coast fever

maybe some other stuff this week too.. this was a trade-heavy week for me. got rid of some junk i didn't listen to.

i just bought that big nice folkways book down the street. 8 bucks for a nice hardcover!

what big nice folkways book?! is there a discography out there??

it's called *Worlds Of Sound* by Richard Carlin.

http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Sound-Story-Smithsonian-Folkways/dp/0061563552

http://www.nashvillescene.com/imager/in-worlds-of-sound-richard-carlin-celebrates-moses-asch-and-folkway/b/original/1199069/bfe4/b834_2780005.t.jpg

there is a copy on amazon for 42 cents plus S&H. cover price is 35 bucks! i'll settle for 8 bucks. i would have bought it for ten bucks. tons of cool pictures.

^We got that at the library, its nice.

oooh, just bought the 42 cent copy, thanks for the tip scott.

zond lp / circle pit, boomgates, bitch prefect 45s on rip soc
brilliant colors / woods / kid romance 45s on cap trax

In Austin at Antoines, I found these records today,

Bob Lind - Photographs of Feeling
Alan White - Ramshackled
Crow - Crow By Crow
Lesley Duncan - Sing Children Sing
Mimi Farina & Tom Jans - Take Heart
Pleasure - Future Now
Jerry Corbitt - Jerry Corbitt
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - Closer To It!
C Cat Trance - Zouave

All for 26 dollars!!!

Hey Ian, what did you think of Coast to Coast Fever?

I like Coast to Cost fever, especially when it's got the congas and guitar feel than the full orchestrated feels.. parts of it got too serious corduroy melodrama for me, but i liked a lot of it. the corbitt record is growing on me too!

David Wiffen's second record is really great, titled just Wiffen. I thought about starting a thread on this guy. His Baritone voice and songwriting are just as strong as any other well know guy. I wonder why he never reached a wider audience. Jerry Jeff Walker,s Drifting Way Of Life is the only record that reminds me of David Wiffen.

recordstoreday everything 15% off yaay. cldn't find a few things i really wanted but hey, will find them easily soon i'm sure.

faun not fawn BUT OMG BEST RECORD right

Haven't listened yet, and sorry for the misspelling. I just got in the door and didn't look too closely.

But Vista is kicking right now.

hard to say which MB is my favorite, but you gotta hear geechee recollections and sweet earth flying, too (if you havent already) -- those four in a row form a nice continuum.

i have never listened to marion brown - whoa thx people of ilv

CHUFFED!

Only bargainous things today, planning a rummage around all the stores in Brighton.

Cameron – s/t (salsoul – 1980)

Dynamic Superiors – you name it (Motown – 1976)

Manchild – feel the phuff (chisound – 1978)

really like that eddie senay record. and the tim hart & maddy prior. i haven't heard that ralph mctell though--i like him. did you see the funny clip on youtube? it is a comedy sketch from some british teevee program where a crowd gets really angry at ralph mctell because he wants to play a new song and not streets of london.

that nolan album is the singer nolan whatshisface + little feat. so, little feat fans should pick that up. pretty funky.

apparently nolan porter makes music with and is married to frank zappa's sister:

this!! except the 7 minute version pictured on the image. it wasn't even expensive!

also: skatt brothers "walk the night" reissue! yes i'm gettin my gay on.

Love that kalaparusha skot

yah i do too.

i was really happy to get a clean copy of the herman kelly album. kinda on a sub-conscious wish-list in my head. i never think that i REALLY need anything until its right in front of me and then of course i realize how much i do really need some things.

probably the biggest VHS to Vinyl ratio I have ever seen at a thrift store. anyway, I was able to eke out:

El Indio Mayta Y Sus Huiracochas - s/t
Saxon - Crusader

Are Zebra's first two albums any good? Like worth two bucks each? I passed them up. Also the second time in a week I've seen an awesome blues LP that was totally FUBAR'd, today's was John Lee Hooker.

which zebras? canadian disco? they're pretty great.

Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra - Chariots of the Gods OST
Charles Lloyd - Warm Waters (this has the beach boys on vocals. is this album talked about much? it's very cool)
v/a - Burengerucht (great funky ndw comp)
Art of Noise - Legs 12"
Bernard Wright - After You/Who Do You Love (red heart cut out! so awesome)
Janet Jackson - What Have You Done For Me Lately 12"
Tom Tom Club - Genius Of Love / Lorelei 12"

I think Skot brought that Charles Lloyd up on some thread in the past, it's got some great tracks on it. How is that Peter Thomas? Never heard that one.

Arp - Pastoral Symphony Remixed 12"
The Feelies - Here Before
Caetano Veloso - s/t (1968)

Peter Thomas is pretty wild. Weird noises, funky drums, wordless vocals. Woman at the shop let out a bug "argh" when I bought it. Apparently she saw it at the drive in when she was six.

that soundtrack is killer & weird, I featured it on my outdated Internet radio site - http://weirdsville.com/featured11.html - if anyone wants to check it out in glorious streaming realaudio.

I'm a total Chariots of the Gods-stan and the movie is one of my favorites - great trippy creepy early-70s vibe- which was cannibalized to make the even creepier Rod Serling-narrated In Search of Ancient Astronauts (the first In Search Of show, another obsession).

Zebras are the New Orleans/Long Island rockers

this song sums up the chariots of the gods soundtrack.

Weird noises, funky drums, wordless vocals.

God, so broke.
Jealous of these purchases.

got those two new Taj Mahal Travelers live LPs... two dates in Stockoholm in July 71... was only gonna get one of them, then I found a twenty in the ATM..

earlier today:

vertigo annual compilation
le mystere des voix bulgares vol.2 on 4ad
the dead c - patience (finally found a copy for sale in nz, the irony)

T-rex - zinc alloy and the hidden riders of tomorrow reissue
Clap - have you reached yet? reissue
Protex - strange obsession

Fucking A, Ian. Right place right time. Those Stockholm recordings may be my favorite TMT shit, for real.

i'm loving it... i can't quite figure out if they're diff recordings than the double CD that came out a while back? i was under the impression that was a single two hr performance, while these LPs are allegedly two separate performances... (albeit a week apart, so it's possible the CD came from diff sessions in the same time period.)

huh! I have that double CD if u need to compare, I assumed they were the same.

working SEW SEW HARD today for real, and the soundtrack has been:
cecil taylor -- unit structures
funkadelic -- s/t
bo hansson -- lord of the rings
pierre dørge & new jungle orchestra -- even the moon is dancing
edgar froese -- aqua

Oh I've got the cd, haven't heard the lps, re: Taj Mahal Travelers.

got those two new Taj Mahal Travelers live LPs... two dates in Stockoholm in July 71... was only gonna get one of them, then I found a twenty in the ATM..

― one dis leads to another (ian)

These are essentially the 2cd set that has been out for a decade, or more, tho.

and still available. for 11 dollars

http://beta.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/DRONE.001.2CD.html

oh haha, i didn't even scroll down until i was so *outraged* about Ian's expenditure. but I see that Sleeve and Trip already covered it.

but yeah, this reish a 10 year old CD on LP stuff is getting way stupid. i anin't buying it. so much other stuff to spend money on...

tbh, i am really glad i got those taj mahal travelers rekkerds. they are great, sound good. i don't even have a CD player. and my computer still has a DVD stuck in the drive.

cecil taylor unit
good time blues (mamlish)
gavin bryars -- the sinking of the titanic
sandy denny -- sandy
maddy pryor sings old english folk songs
psychedelic horseshit -- laced
times new viking -- dancer equired
twins seven seven LP on caravan of dreams

passed on noisy copies of the second revolutionary ensemble LP (india nav) and jon hassell's vernal equinox, both wishlist records, but a little too pricey for the condition :(

but yeah, this reish a 10 year old CD on LP stuff is getting way stupid. i anin't buying it. so much other stuff to spend money on...

have you heard amina claudine myers' 'song for mother e'? has one of my all time fave songs on it "Have Mercy Upon Us". dirgy organ with vocal chant on it. like 10min long.

never heard anything by her (YET)

ah, i have 5 of her records, but not heard that one

i bought a really clean u.s. copy of vagabonds of the western world by thin lizzy today for ten bucks. i needed that on vinyl. and i got some cool 45s. and i got that numero group pressed at boddie thing. and some woman came in the store with records and i bought a cool charles ives 100th anniversary 5-lp box from here. i'm an ives collector. never even seen it before.

got a really cool mormon thing today too. 70's spacy mormon music with three songs with vocals on side a and then the three songs as instrumentals on side b. the intrumental side is cool. very dreamy.

a friend of mine brought in records to trade and this was one of them. love the cover. not too sure about the music. 80's stuff.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NUDE-ANTS-Search-Tornado-Victims-LP-1982-X-/270688049492?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3f0643d954

i like that nude ants record a bunch. at least the second side of it. Love & Happiness and Car That Goes are great. super funky. minimal.

iirc the first side is kinda crappy police knockoffs or something. heard another record of theirs and it blew

here's the mormon thing. i like this cover a lot too. i don't really know what mayan temples or whatever have to do with being a mormon.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Like-Unto-Us-12-EP-Private-Xian-Mormom-Folk-Rock-/370487315999?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5642c3ce1f

ah see i think i only really skipped thru the first side a bit so i will check the 2nd side out. i meant to cuz the 2nd side has the remix dance version song on it and i figured that was what i should be listening to.

"MORMOM"

fuckin love the version of 'brown eyed women' that opens that felt forum show. sleeves lists it as 'gone are the days.'

thanx 2 pete i got ultra-$$$rare$$$ west-coast airplane-style folk-rock-psych rarity 'oasis.' <3 lovin it.

also picked up:

mickey newbury - better days (demos, radio session)
ben harrison - getting bald, going barefoot (private rural ssw stuff; lotsa steel and dobro, some jimmy buffet vibes.)
malachi - holy music (used to own this; one of the best covers ever. jews harp zone outs.)
douglas adams - light rain (small label folk-rock; mostly mediocre but a few 'good' tracks. cheap.)
isley bros - 3 + 3
pieces of a dream s/t (largely kinda boring funk-fusion, but the track "warm weather" slays. 1981 on elektra.)
cream - wheels of fire
hendrix - electric ladyland (along with the cream & isleys, three things i've never owned on LP. never owned the cream in any format tbqh.)

oh fuck "what it comes down to" on that isleys record was a real serious "zack's car" jam in 2k7

yeah dude, that's exactly what a meant. got a want list of newish records that is at least 30 deep at this point. Not sure I will ever get through it...

I still haven't even heard that last Endless Boogie LP for example!!

er, in reference to : i hope you at least mean other records

"Spreadeagle - The Piece Of Paper"

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was really thrilled to find Spreadeagle from the one song you put on a mix. The whole record is great though. The guitar playing on it is something else! Did they become anything else after this record?

i don't really know their history. i just love that album. i never see that record anywhere. probably only sold a couple of copies.

I just got a library record I've been after for aaaageees.. 'On The Move' by Birdy on Selected Sound from 1980. Copies aren't usually a lot but it comes up relatively infrequently, so I'm well chuffed. Cheers Discogs!

oooh library records. the final frontier.

col. poo, i like the Rustix album! it's kind of a weird, schizophrenic album but pretty fun and very listenable. i'm pretty curious about those medicine head records too. i have their album 'dark side of the moon' which came out between those two, and i love it.

I only know Medicine Head from the single that was in John Peel's Record Box, which I liked. That song is on the New Bottles Old Medicine LP, which is on JP's record label. Just cleaned that one so might put it on later once it's dried.

neu! 75 (brain)

Bought two beautiful reissues last saturday:
Fairport Convention - Liege & Lief (1986 Island rerelease)
Caetano Veloso - Transa (2008 Vinyl Lovers rerelease)

Col poo. Are you like 16?

?

No, 34...?

i think just trying to figure out the logistics of a grandfather buying rock records in the early 70s. maybe he was a cool guy. i mean, i'm almost ten yrs younger than you and my grandpa was exclusively into actual old man music. not thin lizzy.

He was in his late 30s-mid 40s when those records came out. Seems like he stopped keeping up with music when he hit around 50. I already split all his Blondie records with my sister.

Most surprising things in his collection probably Iggy Pop & James Williamson - Kill City, that Dictators single, Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets.

I guess he must've been some kind of cool guy around town at the time, according to my uncle he had a bit of a reputation as someone who could get drugs, but he was an arsehole at home so I don't think very kindly of him. He's been dead 20 years now though so it's easy enough to play these records without the baggage.

lotsa good stuff in DC so far!

Hey, Pete, I added my two cents to the Robert Ashely ILM thread. Just fyi.

And holy shit, that is a great haul.

man pete i was going through the thurston and byron stacks in the back room of feeding tube records this weekend and you would have a field day back there. not cheap, but they got the goods. and thats stuff that isn't even out in the store! i bought some cool stuff. but going through some of byron's free/out/70's jazz boxes is like a record store dream i would have. entire boxes filled with stuff i've never seen/heard.

i've heard pretty intense stories about Byron's barn full-o-records... my friend Taylor used to work for him, pricing and sorting and etc. Crazy shit.

69, were you in Vienna, VA Sunday for the Record Fair, by any chance? I'm seeing a few titles in your haul that tempted me, esp that Faust. I ended up with a decent haul though, among the highlights for me were an original copy of Can "Soon Over Babaluma" and Marion Brown "Porto Novo". Essentials and new to me!

yeah its kinda endless between the two of them. course i can't afford a lot of it, but its fun to look. there are deals to be had though. polish psych/prog record i got is so great and it was priced right at 20 bucks. got john surman, that cool wazoo record on zig zag records, patty waters reissue, some punk rekkerds. they got this insane punk and metal collection in at the store and its all minty. tons of stuff. i didn't buy any metal but it was lots of fun to look at it all. stuff i never see. with the punk stuff i just got a couple of conflict albums for nostalgia purposes. and like a dummy i got a Menace comp that i already own. forgot i had it.

x-post

hell yeah some nice Monday shopping:

Pharoah Sanders - Deaf Dumb Blind (never heard this before and it is so goddamn beautiful)

Pharoah Sanders - Karma (traded my used CD version for credit on this, no-brainer although I do like having a non-split version of "The Creator...")

Depeche Mode - People Are People 7" (much better than the 12" version)

Anthony Braxton - For Alto 2LP

yup that was me! i had on a prince shirt. i definitely saved up a little for this trip, plus some recent ebay proceeds, but a lot of the stuff i found was really really cheap, especially given the quality of the stuff. imma hit the DC fair on saturday, too, just in case anyone has anything different in their bins!

scott, everytime i look up some fucking BONKERS record that i want, the only domestic place that has a copy on discogs is feedingtube. i am completely certain id have a field day with that stock!

Nice cheap finds at my old job!

tampa red on yazoo
Georgia tom dorsey on yazoo
Steve hillage -- fish rising
Happy and artie traum s/t
zz hill -- thrill on the hill

I have that Tampa Red LP, it is great and has the og version of "Ducks Yas Yas", later covered by Michael Hurley.

:D

some additions to my "old-timey" collection:

old time music at newport
doc watson on stage featuring merle watson
bascom lamar lunsford/george pegram & red parham - music from south turkey creek
charlie poole and the north carolina ramblers - old time songs recorded from 1925-1930
grayson & whitter - early recordings 1928-1930
a collection of mountain songs (original recordings of great old-time bands)
old-time southern dance music (ballads and songs)
poor man, rich man (american country songs of protest)

wondering if the esp disk sampler above is the one with the one minute samples starting with the pearls before swine track? if so it's a great listening experience in and of itself and was pretty much my intro into free jazz about a decade ago (got it due to my then fugs obsession).

is that the collection of mountain songs that has 'the broken wedding' by emry arthur on it? or is that another County comp with a similar title? That song is a fave. Lost an auction for the original 78 a week or so ago. and grayson & whitter are favorites--"handsome molly" and "little maggie" alone would qualify them for the country music hall of fame imo.

no sign of it on this volume, but the guy i got it off seems to liquidating his collection of county records (and arhoolie, yazoo, rounder, etc stuff) so if there are other volumes i'll definitely be keeping an eye out.

it's called something v similar.. "old time ballads & songs from the southern mountains" or something.

is this guy selling his stuff online or somewhere local to you? I've got maybe a dozen Yazoo titles I need, and some County ones as well. Completism, sheesh.

aww, Group Doueh is rad - they are touring the US soon!
