I only know a third of your haul. I'm assuming at least half of the records in your list are jazz?

thirty jazz records in there yeah

I wish I could focus on buying jazz records more, but I have had to narrow what I look for when I buy records.

yeah in 2011 god told me to stop buying so many field recordings and focus on jazz and drone records for a while

today:

rockin' horse - s/t (rca - 1975) (i sold my crappy copy and kinda hoped i would find a nicer one. did today.)

hanson - magic dragon (manticore - 1974) (excited to find this today for cheap)

kenny young - clever dogs chase the sun (warner brothers - 1971) (i really am becoming the accidental chris spedding completist)

clifford t. ward - mantle pieces (charisma - 1974)

trickster - s/t (cbs - 1978)

pages - s/t (cbs - 1978)

larry weiss - black & blue suite (20th century - 1974)

skyboys - s/t (first american - 1979)

tufano-giammarese - s/t (ode - 1973)

domenic troiano - s/t (mercury - 1972) (keep finding more dom albums i don't have. this has to be his first. i dig them all.)

ken burgan - the big bow-wow strain (blue thumb - 1974)

william saint james - song for every mood (dunhill - 1973)

thomas jefferson kaye - first grade (abc/dunhill - 1974) (excited to have this too! sealed even! a must for all steely dan fans.)

belfegore - s/t (elektra - 1984) (bought in honor of alexinnyc)

robert hunter - jack o' roses (dark star - 1980) (tough one to find and it was only four bucks.)

marcus - s/t (UA - 1976) (upgrade from my kinda not great copy. essential to have.)

nilsson - knnillssonn (rca - 1977)

hanson - now hear this (manticore - 1973) (another upgrade. sweet promo copy.)

paul mccartney - mccartney II (columbia - 1980) (i'm a hipster!)

mike silver - troubadour (mca/rocket - 1973) (really nice!)

mason proffit - bare back rider (warner brothers - 1973)(again just a really nice unplayed copy)

rhead brothers - dedicate (emi - 1977)

mason proffit - last night i had the strangest dream (ampex - 1971) (again with the cleaness)

savoy brown - savage return (london - 1978) (needed this. sounds so awesome)

redwing - s/t (fantasy)

john manning - white bear (columbia - 1971)

the bolshoi - friends (i.r.s. - 1986) (needed this for my fave "books on the bonfire")

the hollywood stars - s/t (arista - 1977)

supa - supa's jamboree (paramount records - 1971)

Rockin' Horse, nice. Been looking for that one.

Went to Euclid Records in St. Louis over Xmas and grabbed these:

Love of Life Orchestra - Extended Niceties 12"
JJ Cale - Troubador
Visage - Mind of a Toy 12" (w/ Frequency 7 on side b)
Ultravox - Vienna 12" (prod Conny Plank)
Nina Hagen - Zarah Remix 12" (prod Giorgio Moroder)

Rock stuff is getting really expensive at Euclid ... had to stick to the new wave / disco action which was priced cheaper. Most of those were $3-$4 except Love of Life which was $16 but I was still psyched to get it. They had a copy of Yoko Ono - Fly that I really wanted but it was 40 bucks! Ick.

Saw that Fly a few weeks ago on my last trip to STL. They had a bunch of bootlegs and stuff. Rock stuff is priced pretty stupid there. A quick look through the jazz led me to believe that it's the same case for that genre. But I found some real good deals on new age type stuff (Jon Hassell, Harold Budd) after digging.

yeah there seem to be certain genres they don't care about as much. Love of Life Orchestra would have probably been $10 cheaper if it didn't have David Byrne's name on the back. the whole 12" section was pretty reasonable, but not the albums.

thats the american version of BROWN RICE, sleeve -- its the only one ive ever had! i guess that version is technically self-titled, but it's the exact same thing as the OG italian one.

I knew you would enlighten me, thanks!

They had some other really nice Cherry LPs (incl. all 3 Codonas iirc) but they were $$.

cool! im on the lookout for that italian brown rice, and also for the 2LP ORGANIC MUSIC if you see them around, even if theyre $$.

also, i need someone to just kind of pick out 3-4 legendary pink dots records for me to start with. i heard an FMU show w them last year and it RULED, but when ive tried to listen to random records i see around at stores, im left feeling like ehh

assuming you mean vinyl, I recommend:

Any Day Now
The Maria Dimension
Faces In The Fire
The Tower

The two I got are good also - Stone Circles is a (imho) very badly chosen early-years anthology that's still worth having, and Crushed Velvet has some real high points.

oh the "Under Glass" 12" is great too, wish I hadn't sold that for a CD version back in the 90's.

cool, thank you! im discogs wishlisting them now.

sleeve, when did you live in charlottesville? sometime IL:Xor C4rey used to drive a bus there, and i think also worked at plan 9 for a time.

I have this on CD already, I'll probably give it a listen and maybe sell the CD if I like it better on vinyl?)

I bought that River City record based on being on Enterprise and I haven't listened to it yet. Did you like it?

hey ian I grew up in Charlottesville! so I lived there until 1984 and visited pretty regularly for another 4-5 years. Bimble was from there too :( Don't know a C4rey tho.

also congrats on yer marriage!

I haven't listened to it yet either. All that stuff is sitting in a pile in my spare room waiting for me to clean it... which I will probably do this weekend.

xpost

Also yes I didn't know Ian got married, congrats

Just played River City and it's not bad. Lot's of horns, sort of like early Chicago, but not really. With a few rural sounding songs, and a few silly ones.

Yeah I gather my grandpa was really into something called "horn rock", at least that's what tons of his records came up as online.

if that's an original u.k. love & poetry in good shape then $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just looked on popsike and jesus fucking christ you are right there... most of his records are in very good shape, however a LOT of them are cut-outs, my grandma told me he used to go up to Birmingham and buy stuff out of the bargain bin in the mid-70s. I'm at work now but I'll have to check what label it's on. I guess the fact that Discogs only lists recent reissues means it must be pretty rare.

Your Grandpa sounds like a cool guy!

grandpa's collection looks like mine!

i mean, its not like i'm the only person who owns the river city, repairs, mud, and nasty pop albums, but i didn't think there were too many people out there who would. other than here, apparently.

I got my wife to look (as I'm at work) and the Andwellas Dream record is on CBS and appears to be from 1969. There's some bubbling on the laminate on the sleeve but the record is spotless, she says. She looked on Popsike and reckons it's about the same condition as one that sold for £750!

I'll rip it first before I sell it but don't think I can justify hanging on to that, no matter how good it might be.

yeah, that's a definite sell. buy the reissue.

My only recent score worth noting was receiving Farewell Aldebaran (original Straight release) for Xmas. Def the best gift I got this year.

So how would you guys suggest I go about selling this record - is Ebay the best option? It's not even on Discogs, and my account is locked down for some unknown reason so I can't add new releases to the DB (I keep meaning to email the admin about that, maybe this is a good reason to do something about it). I guess at least with Ebay it'll probably sell right away. I've never had a record worth anywhere near this amount before, kinda worried now!

yeah, ebay. no worries. just be really accurate in your description. make sure you know what pressing it is. include matrix numbers. pictures.

or just offer it to a local store in exchange for 500 punk singles.

hehe. just think I could probably buy 3 Killed By Death 7"s with the money this goes for! or pay off my overdraft. hmm

i love this thread right now! grandpa finds = $$$

thanks for wedding congrats, guys! i got married waaaaay back in August! i think our own Jacob Sanders just got married though?!?!

if true, congrats!!!!

you guys are too young to die! i mean...get married.

but, yeah, congrats, etc.

dude but you make it seem so awesome!

I did just get married, and was wondering do you guys keep your records as his or hers or is your collection 'Ours' now?

long-term cohabitation speaking here, but when we moved to cali, all hope of maintaining separation was abandoned. weve started selling some doubles lately, too.

we have our records separate still... i sold off some duplicates when i needed to get my cat's teeth pulled out.

and congrats jacob! married life is great, no matter what skot says ;)

We merged ours when we got married, sold off all our dupes etc.

the only duplicates we have is, I have the two Mimi & Richard Farina records and she has the greatest hits, which is the two records together.

Laurie started buying records after we began dating, we have some dupes (Jazz Butcher, Moondog, Joni Mitchell, Lou Reed, probably other stuff) but she likes being able to listen to them so we'll probably never sell them.

nb: we have separate bedrooms, although I only sleep in mine once or twice a week. That's my big recommendation for a successful marriage - leave some personal space for each other if you can manage it.

yeah, helen likes having her own copies of things.. she specifically asked me to get her a copy of the new graham lambkin record after i already brought one home. fair enough!

also i fall asleep on the couch sometimes so that's almost like having separate rooms.

hey congrats ian from me & the mrs. you too jacob.

marriage: the greatest score of all

thanks mr & mrs sangfreud!!!

yep the best score! thanks guys!

Quadrophenia soundtrack 2 x LP as for some reason I vener had a copy of Louie Louie & Be My Baby on vinyl

new Zoovox 12" w/ Steve Summers remix

found this odd record by Ron Dilulio and james Kerr at a thrift store, really weird spoken word about the end of the world with weary sound effects and synths, freakout guitars. I've decided to sell in on ebay just to see
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6639204289_34152c899d.jpg

I like that cover

listening on youtube now. pretty groovy. might be something to hold on to. i dunno, at least link to the youtube if you put it up. probably not many people have heard it.

although the last copy that sold went for 60+ and that's not nothing.

wow that's cool!

I didn't know you can post youtube links on an ebay auction. It's been up for a few days now and 5 people are watching it, but no bids yet.

i would have started it higher. but you never know. good luck!

Does the Idea work that starting a record high will give someone the impression that the record is more? I don't usually sell records and it kind of pains me to do so. But I figured desire will determine the final price of a record, so I started all of my auctions low.

that the record is worth more I meant.

i only meant by pricing it higher that you won't give a cool record away for ten bucks that you will probably never see again if it turns out that only one person bids on it. that's all.

i mean maybe 2 or 3 of those watchers really want it. or 4 of them have a copy and want to see what it will bring. you never know. if there were 20 watchers you would know that people want it.

we should all guess what it goes for. i'll say....$43!

$38

maybe i can help

Gary's Gang - Keep on Dancin'
DeBarge - All This Love

Dead until played

"Dead Until Played" is totally going on the back of our next JDJR t-shirts.

So... I posted the Andwella Dream LP on Ebay last night. So far I've had 2 people asking if they can give me an offer for it. Which isn't gonna happen, sorry dudes.

I'm excited to see what it goes for, although I don't know if I could part with a record like that. I'm still sad about the last lot of records I sold.

YES

Pharoah Sanders - Elevation

I think I'm only missing a better copy of Tauhid, Izipho Zam, and that LP on India Navigations now.

Izipho Zam is my favorite Pharoah Sanders, wish I had it on vinyl.

yeah it is apparently $$$$. o well.

went to Mondo Kim's for the first time in a long time. not as good as it used to be but I got some stuff. they do have a lot more used vinyl out now compared to when they first moved and it was just one little rack.

Slits - Earthbeat and Earthdub 12"
Yello - One Second
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends 12" with a weird Harvey version on the flip that seems to have zero elements from the original

skot, do you know this song by norman fox & the rob roys?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1INBU-p7Fk

this single is so awesome and i am totally keeping it. sounds insane loud on the stereo. "wild one" on the other side is great too.

today, at the vermont shop near me. i like it there. i talk shop, you know, it's casual. he lets me dig in his basement. i like it down there. it's dusty. lots of old boxes that haven't seen the light of day in years. it's probably not worth it to expend the effort, but its fun for me. this is what i do on my one day off. spend two hours crawling around someone else's out of hand record basement.

the sandy sandwich sand? LUV so hard.

i wish you could see my pretty copy of garden party, ian. i'm kind of in love with it.

Sand is definitely in my top 10 favorite record, one day I get a mint copy.

really! i had no idea. the sandy sandwich sand and not the krautrock sand? i always loved the u.s. sand but i never knew anyone else who liked it.

You put it on a mix and I looked for a year until I found a copy in a dollar bin in houston. I even played it how you're supposed to on my two technics, like free flowing sand.

^^^^ lolling at this post.

i love garden party. the record, the song. the song is a karaoke song for me (though i haven't done it in like 4 years or more since i don't go out karaokeing very often.)

this guy i like brought records in to trade and he had the first pressing of led zep 2 - american pressing - that is the bob ludwig "hot" mix. never actually heard it before. i forgot to bring it home though. have to play it tomorrow morning.

he also brought in a copy of this. alternate cover for new skin for the old ceremony. i'm keeping it. never seen one! i see something new every day...

http://www.popsike.com/LEONARD-COHEN-New-Skin-For-Old-Ceremony-rar-cover-EX-LP/190463483573.html

columbia didn't like the angels doing it so they made the cover without it and then i guess they changed their minds or something and went back to the angels doing it. weird.

hmm, hadn't heard of the bob ludwig mix, have to check my dad's copy

promos and 1st pressings only were bob's. i think. i'm no zexpert. but the hot stamper audiophile crowd swears by them. people returned them to stores cuz they were so loud they would make their needles skip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NOW3Ep_T_Jw#!

bob explains it better than i did.

cool. I was actually going to check because a lot of my of my dad's records are promos that he got from his dj friend

that's how he ended up with mono strange days and gris-gris

nice! nice friend.

and stuff like assagai and grootna and adam blessing... I should do a poll

okay, "heartbreaker" on the ludwig mix of led zep II is immense. this copy isn't that great, but even with a not great copy it's pretty amazing. you REALLY need a serious system - more serious than i have here at the store - to get the most out of a record like this though. the drums & bass are so huge.

local record shop must be smoking crack.. found these in the new arrivals 2 euro bin in the way home from work.

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Robert Fripp - Exposure
Terry Allen - Juarez (1975 pressing on Fate records)
Vita Nova - Vita Nova - orig 1971 LP on Life records. Had no idea idea how rare this was until i popsiked it. WOW.. (Girlfriend's first words "SELL IT!")

totally made up for shitty day at work..

Terry Allen - Juarez is such an awesome record!! I'm always surprised how low his records sell for on ebay.

wowzers on the vita nova. you'll never find another one. start it at a thousand bucks on ebay and see what happens. you can always buy the reissue.

even the reissue goes for over 50 dollars... nearly fell over when i found out how rare it is..

There's an orig on ebay at the moment... current bidding 430 uk pounds... tempted to sell it to finance vinyl digging romantic trip to US in April..

way to go dude

wow!

hey Talcum are you a new poster? Nice to have you here.

semi-regular poster.. changed display name after the ilx outage- used to be jackbatterypack

Btw I found 3 copies of this odd looking private record by Larry Voltz?? I bought all three copies thinking I would give away the others to my ILV friends. He's from Houston,TX and it says all songs record in my bedroom on the back. It's pretty much as odd as it looks, instruments include electric and acoustic guitar, Alembic bass, Arp Omni, Arp Avatar Guitar, all by Larry. I won't say this is a um great record, but it's worth hearing. Sort of new age arena rock with disgruntled out there lyrics. Anyway the first two people who say they want it can have it free of charge.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6839781099_fc9f1758f9.jpg

after a second listen, maybe it's more like new wave/age disco AOR with one synth pop country song. It's growing on me.

i want one!

i like that mike cooper album. sold my spruce record years ago. so i guess i didn't dig it much?

there should be more love for ellis island. i love that record. one of my very favorite guitar records.

Listening to it right now, digging this fuzz.

is your Zep 1841 BROADWAY??

with HOT STAMPERS??

no it's a dollar copy of led zeppelin Ii. I woke up with What is and What should never be stuck in my head.

dillard & clark - the fantastic expedition of dillard & clark
gene clark - white light
earth - angels of darkness demons of light vol 2
doomriders - black thunder

god, zeppelin owns.

I don't think I understand what you're asking. There is an 1841 Broadway address in the gatefold.
And there is a "gold record award" stamp on the cover? And two names scrawled under the band name and album title.
Couple scratches but it was a buck.

i burned out 2 copies of houses of the holy in every format, on my second lp now and maintaining it a lot better.

Trip Maker, sorry -- i was just joking and riffing on the eBay speak about Zeppelin records or Atlantic label stuff more generally

1841 Broadway was the original address for Atlantic. Before they got bought by Warner Bros. ppl that want original pressings will look for that address on the labels (and to be sure, that address can often be found on the jacket while the vinyl label itself will display the Warner address. whatever the heck it was, 75 Rockefeller I believe?)

Well, it is on the label. I love vinyl and spend too much money on it and stuff but some of the arcana is lost on me.

if you have 1841 on the label, that is a great find dude! people like it because in theory the master stampers to create the vinyl haven't been 'worn down' or whatever after 5 million lps pressed.. and so it should sound better. in theory..

any Zeppelin found cheap is gold. few years back at a thrift I grabbed a Warners label 'Houses' for a .50 and flipped to a store for 6 in credit

and yeah, Zep rules!

especially the "brown bomber"! they played a snippet of "What is and What should Never Be" during This American Life this week (actually a pretty good episode of that hot or cold show)!

you inspired me to pull out my boot of Dallas '75 ( on CD, it must be said..)

http://www.ledzeppelin.com/video/dallas-1975

dude, stormy, i just wrote about this on here somewhere. the bob ludwig hot mix of led zep II IS the pressing to beat. everyone should look for his RL initials on the dead wax when they see used copies. so friggin' loud and deep. i have a great copy. the promos and the 1st pressings are the only copies with his mix.

hot stampers of thefirst two band records = way to go

i was actually gonna start a thread for when you play some normal old album and it just happens to be an amazing copy of that album. but i don't know how many people listen to multiple copies of normal albums on here. its an occupational thing for me. every once in a while i'll play some eagles album or something completely generic and it its just a REALLY great copy. a la the hot stamper dude. i don't try to sell them for four hundred dollars though. not all steely dan albums are created equal.

i'm not a big taj mahal listener but i got this minty u.k. double album - had two taj albums - and oh man oh man just amazing. serious audiophile stuff. you have never heard a taj mahal album like this. probably. wow. just wow. i kinda thought it would sound good, the vinyl looked so nice, but i was not prepared for how good it sounded.

i'm so bad at determining the best vinyl to get. like i have led zep IV and it says 'pecko duck' on the inner ring. is that good? mediocre? idk!

Trust your ears, I'd say

Just found John Stewart - California Bloodlines, Herbie Mann - Memphis Underground, and Tim Buckley - Blue Afternoon at a local chain store that buys vinyl. All super clean, total of seven dollars. Fucking A!

California Bloodlines is one of my favor records! thought you look for the purple label Zeppelin records? Are the hot pressing also the green and red ones too?

the bob ludwig led zep II looks the same as any copy.

a fun weekend in DC with some lil scores (cant spend $$$ cause we're moving)

jimmy heath -- love and understanding LP

awesome Zombie work!

Guy I know was looking through a box of reel-to-reel tapes at the swap meet yesterday and pulled out a really old tape box, opens it, and it says "Yes - Iowa City" in pen on the inside!

cool. unless its just a tape copy of a vinyl boot. which i suppose is possible. your friend will have to research.

some old dude just gave me a map to his house and told me to go pick up 6 u-haul boxes of records. and then he gave me 20 bucks. win win situation if you ask me.

wow.
free records! free money!

so this other 80 year old dude came in the other day and said he had records that he would just give me. he said he had opera and hot jazz stuff and some rock. i said sure, i'll take them. he came today with a kid and brought me like 12 boxes of stuff. most of it is really really dusty/dirty. will have to clean pretty much all of it. and now i have about 8 big boxes of stuff to get rid of. i gave the kid who helped him load and unload the 20 bucks that the other old dude gave me to get rid of HIS records.

its the cycle of life.

records are kinda cool i guess.

omg agreed

i THINK it was worth taking all theat crap. i really don't feel like cleaning any of it today. my nose is already full of dirt. he had some cool stuff. i am putting pretty much all of the classical/opera by my door for free. don't want to deal with it. nothing that amazing anyway. but he had some cool jazz 45 EPs and lots of old riverside hot jazz comps - lots of hot jazz comps in general - some leadbelly 10 inches, bunch of those old alan lomax world music anthologies, some decent rock that will be okay once i clean it. some john fahey records that aren't in terrible shape. timothy leary album on douglas. white label promo grateful dead 45 for some reason. and a big box of hot jazz 78s. some original and some later pressings. he had a clean james brown album on king. always nice to see.

oh but the first old dude's records were nothing to write home about. kept a few things and maria brought the rest to the salvation army.

today i got that kathy dalton album with little feat backing her up. i wanted that one.

i like that kathy dalton record!

bunch of those old alan lomax world music anthologies

i am interested in these at reasonable prices.
god i still need to make it up to your store someday, somehow.

take a week off and come help me. i will pay you in records.

omg do it do it

pretty tempting!!!! can i stay at your house?

yeah you can stay in the record room at the house. having a big show in june if you wanna come up for that. legendary hnas madman christoph heemann wants to play at the store with some other folks. should be fun! gonna do a whole day thing.

y'all are almost making me wish I lived on the east coast

See, a couple years ago I thought it'd be a braw idea to get some 'bulk lots' off a well known auction site.

The first one had no listings but had photos of all the sleeves and all the labels. Which meant that nobody could search for specific albums on the list. I won the auction, paid up, then the dude found out I was on his route for himself driving down from north Wales to London, so dropped the two huge boxes off and refunded me half the postage! Crazy. I sold about four tir-na-nog albums out of the contents and that paid for the lot!

Next time, I did a similar, but found the two boxes had albums that were heartbreakingly poor in some cases (A MFaithful album that had a decent condition sleeve and a disc that looked like it'd been left in the garden). Thought about complaining, decided against it as it wasn't a lot of money considering, and figured it might just be OK value really (got spoiled by my first 'win' above). Picked out one "Yehudi Menh introduces Indian Sitar Music", stuck it on for £40 and it went the next day!

Third and final time, I picked them up 'en-route' myself, there was a ton of them, a bunch making it worthwile, a few keepers, but..

The upshot of all this is now I have more LPs than I started with! I was trying to pare down my collection by means of 'realising' funds from the rare records I own but don't care much about. Which I manage(d). but now I have a whole bunch of 'carbootsale bargains' (RobPlant solos, Eurythmics, etc) I care even less about.

What can you do? Well, once in a while I'll carry a whole bunch to our friendly local charity record shop, along with a small number of absolutely crap Lps. (I make it worth their while, there's always a few 'nice' ones in there too).

Still can't bring myself to leave out records with the trash. (Can just about manage to bin Magazine freebie CDs, although I still have a ton of them I haven't 'got round' to...

Not a score, but cleaning dad's estate out some more, I found this entire set in the garage. My evil mother threw away many of dad's big band records "because it's old music" - I had a huge row with her about keeping this set! Vinyl is red, what's not to love?

Always loved big band music!

omg I found so much good stuff at the thrift store today, I'm gonna have to start going every week. ambient new age, punk stuff, rap, folk music 78s, jeez...

yeah, decent punk at the thrift is like god put it there as some sort of reward for you. you don't question it. just put your head down and keep moving.

tobias - dream #2

horace silver - total response

record shopping/bike ride day with wifey, went to co-op 87 and record grouch (new location on manhattan ave)--

latin jazz quintet w/ pharaoh sandesr - oh! pharaoh speak
archie shepp - for for trane
new york art quartet - mohawk (john tchicai, roswell rudd, reggie workman, milford graves)
sleepy john estes 1929-1940 (rbf)

ny art quartet rekkerd is the UK fontana press.

whoah I have never heard of that Pharoah album! How is it?

honestly i think that Pharoah album is pretty terrible. you wouldn't even know it was him if his name wasn't in the credits. I sold my copy years ago, and I almost never sell records

but that's a super sweet score on the NYAQ record, Ian!

I got The Petticoats 7" from 1980 by emailing Stef Petticoat and asking if she'd got any left. She sent it me for under £10 including postage from Germany.

Should try that more often with that kind of stuff I think.

"I almost never find anything at Sal's Army round here but hit the Hadley one on a whim"

its definitely hard to find stuff at the hadley store cuz my pal crazy charlie works in the back during the week. he's a record dealer. fox, henhouse, etc.

so, yeah, go on the weekend. he has the weekend off.

i was at sal's this morning as is my routine and the building is set up so that you walk past the donation area/loading dock and up some stairs to the store. about 200 LPs sitting in the donation area, not available to be looked at.. hoping to make it tomorrow a.m. and find something. shrug. you never know. i got a copy of the first tori amos record there this week. clean disc with a jacked up cover. put it on ebay on a whim--recently been selling in the 70-100 range...

mostly i just buy books at the salvation army. it's good cuz the book flipper people are always buying text books or stupid stuff i don't care about, so i can buy all the mystery and sci-fi and weirdo stuff i want. i got a chester himes book today. i like him. also got an elmore leonard this week, and a robert b parker after reading bob ashley's recommendation in his novel.

sold my tori record to someone in knoxville for $50.

My gf was once obsessed with Tori. It was an adolescent thing. My old bandmate stumbled onto a free show she played in Chicago's Millennium Park and had a spiritual experience iirc.

in a fit of over-caffeination yesterday, i bought a NM/NM copy of arthur russell's TOWER OF MEANING LP for $130 incl shipping from portugal. i think i did the right thing, and i dont think i would have done it without all the coffee.

thats a decent price some fool wants $4,800.00 bin on ebay!

Thomas Leer & Robert Rental - The Bridge LP (1979, Celluloïd/LTM)

oh cool, I did not know this was ever repressed on vinyl after the Industrial version.

bought some records from the guy outside trader joes --

big joe williams ' tough times' arhoolie
thorinshield s/t philips

thought the thorinshield was gonna be heavier but i dig.

^^^^^ Atlantic Trader Joe's?

Glad to hear that guy is still doing his thing. Got some great Fania & Flying Dutchman stuff from him last spring.

yep, that's the one!

/whois san lazaro?

just a guy from queens who buys too many records and plays them on occasion at small bars. and really misses his record store employee discount.

mysterious.

a guy i like brought in records - hadn't seen him in a long time - and in honor of record store day i brought the best stuff home to keep. he's an older guy and he used to DJ with his brother in the 70's and 80's and he always has neat promos and disco stuff. usually the best stuff is unplayed.

mystic moods - being with you (sound bird) (can't remember if i have this. they did the alternate cover thing with these records and different track listings. this one has some groovy funky disco on it)

dizzy gillespie (and lalo schifrin) - free ride (pablo) never heard this! sooooooooooooo funky! like, the funkiest thing i've heard in a long time.

sealed copy of ports by perry botkin, jr on a&m. i dig this record. never know when you might need a sealed back-up copy.

henry mancini - the cop show themes (rca) (love this and i've sold a couple at the store but never kept one)

monk higgins & alex brown - sheba, baby soundtrack (buddha) (so phat)

slick - s/t (fantasy) (best space disco)

faze-o - good thang (she) (mint promo. needed it!)

after a while saying i wld only buy 78s of country and RARELY blues or jazz, i have turned some kind of weird corner.

the same day i decided to buy a lot of 8 japanese/chinese 78s on ebay (cheap! free shipping!) my wife comes home from work with a stack of arabic 78s from one of her co-workers.
scary place.

still waiting on my michael yonkers LPs to come in the mail.
and my earl johnson 'mississippi sawyer' 78...

but i did get some other cool 78s last week. lewis brothers "sally johnson" prettttttty trashed copy but it was cheap and it's a great great fiddle & guitar record. and a yellow hammers 'pass around the bottle.'

What Yonkers? Is it a reissue or new stuff?
Waiting on the new Mad Scene lp and the Royal Headaches to show up in the mail.
Got the new Bitchin Bajas lp+dvd, sounds really good.

"dead stock"

de stijl had copies of 'goodby sunball' and 'michael lee yonkers' for sale on their website briefly..

Kind of the ultimate 2012 here, albeit a sad one: http://www.egotripland.com/j-dilla-record-collection-for-sale-detroit-record-store/

Upon first sorting through the collection, Bubeck found numerous 94-cent Earth, Wind & Fire LPs, as well as a box of cassette tapes labeled, “Jaydee Beats.” In addition there were lyric booklets, along with magazines and pieces of junk mail addressed to James Yancey, and his parents, Beverly and Maureen Yancey.

scoooooooore

got these today at various places:

albert ayler - new grass
john fred & his playboy band - permanently stated
jeff ampolsk - god, guts & guns (1977 folkways country/folk-rock LP, sealed)
dave holland - life cycle ($1)
boondoggle & balderdash LP
eric relph - pretty darlin
peter finger - bottleneck guitar solos

eric relph record is pretty great so far. kind of stoned, rural folk-psych. so far one 'rockin' track is mediocre but i can deal.

helen would say it's too smooth but i think the guitars have just enuff fuzz; nice brought liquid tone.

that sounds up my alley!

i think you'd like it!
you'd like boondoggle & balderdash too. i just finished the first side. one of it is Band-esque, all pretty solid.

damn Eric Relph is an expensive record

i got it for $8 at other music. had been marked down from $15. a steal even then.

an original!! one on amazon for 125 and one on discogs for 155

that's too much... wait and see if you can get it on ebay for less than $30.

I must have had some low blood sugar or something, don't know why I got all that pre-war pop. The jazz ones are good though.

me irl:
http://i46.tinypic.com/r269vm.jpg

my wife would love to have all of those 78s, especially pre-war pop.

she's always sad we never find the 78s she's looking for, crooner torch jazz pop.

I might put them away until I go for a couple of days without listening to music, it's just hard to get into Eddie Cantor after CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE on the ride home

I can listen to Fats anytime though

ah, who am I kidding, I love this guy

rhode island scores --

dick domane LP (Rhode Island sixties pop with a lil bit of psych/fuzz)
jerry jeff walker live LP
carla bley/michael mantler LP
v/a : broadside ballads (w blind boy grunt)
and i got some private xian folk record... Tom Wise? Joe Wise?

annnnnd a saheb sarbib quintet rekkerd feat. rashied alie
and a freddie king 45 on federal.

i have two joe wise records called a new day and hand in hand, he was a catholic folkie whose first few records arent bad, quiet and solemn with occasional banjo, tambourine, cello, flute. sort of like ray repp. catholic is cool

i mean catholic folk is cool

freddie king is awesome

do you know of any catholic folk that specifically calls out vatican II or liberation theology? just curious.

I've passed on a couple jesuits w/ dreadnaughts LPs before because the song selection looked pretty boring.

the Joe Wise rekkerd I got is "A New Day" will see if I like it when I get back to NY.
yes, freddie king is awesome.
i need to investigate ray repp. my friend naters was raised on xian folk/revival stuff, cuz his parents were bay area hippie christians.

i dont know catholic folk that calls out the church explicitly, but John Ylvisaker records are hip and bill comeau. lots of the records are scriptures set to folk or psych folk.

its a little odd to me that i dig so many of these xian records, i'm not religious

i can just see you out there, jacob, picketing planned parenthood with terry tablot on yer walkman...

i dig some christian records too. it's like anything, i think, where some of them are boring or bland or uninteresting but there is still good stuff out there. i'm a strong believer in the "good stuff in all genres" theory.

further scores, from the Rhode Island antiques mall--
michael gately - gately's cafe (do headz dig this? i'd never seen it, but it was $6 and has al kooper, WLP on janus, pretty good on first listen)
percy sledge's greatest hits
joe tex - the love you save LP
andy mcgann & paddy reynolds - traditional music of ireland (fiddle duets)
dillards - tribute to the american duck

I'd love to dig for records in Rhode Island, URI put out this ongoing series of folk rock prog noodle psych jazz compilations, started out called Perspective, then Right To Little Rest, and then Follies Bazaar. I have 3 of them from the later end of the series, but I really want Closely Watched Trains and the other first two.

wild, i've never heard of those. i'll have to keep my eyes open next time i go home.

there was a thrift store that had a lot of great electric blues rekkerds, muddy waters, howlin wolf, etc, but they were BEYOND trashed... so sad.

sac'to! lots of dealz on nice stuff -- including prices so you can get a feel for how ODD the scene was...

burton greene quartet (NM $15 ESP orig)
harold budd -- pavilion of dreams (NM $15 obscure orig)
movement soul (VG+ $10 ESP orig w book!)
michael nyman -- decay music (NM $5 obscure orig!)
311 -- transistor 2LP (LOL) (EX except big mark on a-side that doesnt sound much $3)
hatfield & the north (VG+ $3 virgin)
miroslav vitous group (NM $6 ECM)
lester bowie -- fast last! (NM $7 muse autographed by lester!)
cripple clarence lofton (NM $5 yazoo)

weiiiiiiiiiird. great scores on the ESPs! and the lester!! and the clarence!!

you need my lester dupe ian?

yes please.

some waxidermy shit rite there

john klemmer - waterfalls (impulse)

donald byrd - takin' care of business (tcb)

sarah vaughan/dizzy gillespie - jazz jam session/hen gates and his house rockers - rock 'n' roll festival (paris) (keeping this for the hen gates side. 1956 r&b rock and it sounds great. 1956 pressing. never seen it.)

lee garrett - heat for the feets (chrysalis)

sandra alexandra - the intimate side of (uni)

the son seals blues band - s/t (alligator) ( i dig early 70's alligator stuff)

hancock/hubbard/turrentine/carter/dejohnette/gale - in concert - volume two (cti) (so cool. hancock space patrol)

joe henderson featuring alice coltrane - the elements (milestone)

james brown - cold sweat (king) (minty later king pressing)

the montagnana trio - spell (abc command) (great avant garde classical stuff)

is paris records a weird budget/archive/scam label like crown?

pretty much.

i got a folkways record i might keep but might end up selling...

uh hold on... this one:

http://cdn.7static.com/static/img/sleeveart/00/005/931/0000593118_350.jpg

i think the hen gates stuff was recorded for another cheapo budget record, but i'd never heard any of it. just really good rockin' honkin' sax kinda stuff circa 1956. what's not to like?

50s dimestore records forever man

http://i56.tinypic.com/29vdy81.jpg

do you guys like this? really overblown r'n'r
http://www.redtelephone66.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lewakers-thumb.png

i had that in the store for, like, two years. for two bucks. nobody would buy it. i liked it.

hatfield & the north (VG+ $3 virgin)

what the fuck

maybe someday I will find Matching Mole or the 1st Slapp Happy for $3 instead of $30.

I'm pretty sure I remember liking HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY but haven't heard it for a while.

I bought a couple of 45s on Sue recently, one by Baby Washington that's really good.

I'd like to find a lot more Sue 45s, Inez & Charlie Foxx, Huey Smith, Danny White. Maybe now that I believe I can find 45s I will start finding more.

A+

my biggest SCOREZ was a new power supply for my Vestax mixer, finally my shit is fixed and I can listen to records again

also grabbed Midnight Magic's "Drop Me a Line" 12" and Mark E's "R&B Drunkie"

man i love O.V. Wright--was "I Was Born All Over": in there? such a killer tune.

and that ernie k doe is a kilelr classic

No Born All Over, but I can't complain with three OV Wrights for 50 cents each.

def not, that's a total score--he is great pretty much alltime.

Y Kant Tori Read - S/T
The Ventures - Hawaii Five-O
Bobby Rydell - We Got Love
Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark - Crush
Skillz Da Spinna - Don't Believe The Hype
USA-European Connection - Come Into My Heart

oh and I forgot because it's on the TT right now:
Bubble Jug / The Vestpocket Psalm - split lp [no title]

Does anyone know these guys (from DC / BX)? It's from '94, I think they would have been called emo that year but that whole scene or whatever is a bit out of my swim lane.

oh wait there's a saxophone

stuff for the store mostly. fun to hang at the flea though. really clean stuff!

http://skotrok.blogspot.com/2012/05/hadley-flea-market-52712.html

never seen this 12 inch before.

You guys, I found a super condition copy of this for three bucks at a swap meet today...

http://www.popsike.com/ALAN-LOMAX-Listen-to-Our-Story-FURRY-LEWISBOGGS-78-rpm/300450755274.html

sweet. I don't usually buy records just to sell, but that's why I picked up the Tori, couldn't pass it up @ 80¢

you guys would tell me if I was buying too many records, right? right? these were 3/dollar:

perigeo - genealogia
The Salsoul Orchestra - S/T
V/A - Special Preview of Selected Cuts from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack "Times Square" A Robert Stigwood Production [generic white sleeve]

i love that perigeo album. not one you see every day.

listening right now, it is sweet

Hey, did you know that the title Genealogia, is a desire to underline the personal background that reflects the musical and creative fact - with discreet and cautions references (though always immersed in contemporary reality) to echoes and traditions lived and re-lived in some way in the first person singular? fascinating.

Frank Chickens - 'We Are Frank Chickens' (Kaz Records LP, 1984)
Blops - 'Blops' (Alba LP 1974, 2011 reiss)
Various Artists - 'Wizzz: Psychorama Français 66-71' (Born Bad LP 2011, reissued, orig comp 2001)
Blood Sausage - 'Touching You In Ways That Don't Feel Comfortable' (Wiiija 7", 1993)
The Coathangers/Davila 666 - split single (Suicide Squeeze 7", 2012)
Still Flyin' - 'Travellin' Man' (Highline Records 7", 2012)

First wander round the shops in a while.

got a perfect - looks unplayed - copy of this at a local store yesterday for two bucks. wowee it is right up my alley. fell in love as soon as the needle hit the record.

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20111202/330651438347.jpg

bought lots of stuff yesterday. cheap stuff. my kinda stuff. maybe i'll write them up or something. we'll see. also stopped by feeding tube and paid homage to jack rose's record collection. funny that i used to see him in stores digging for olde tymey stuff all the time in philly and here are those same records right here where i am now. life is strange. lots of County atuff, naturally.

scott, look for county reords 501 502 and 503 for me kthx.

nevermind, i wrote them a facebook message asking.
i love records don't you???

okay, i did the math and these records average out to about $2.70 a record. i think i got good value for the dollar. got these at turn it up! in northampton. one of my favorite places to go for my favorite kinds of records. the kinds of records that most people never buy. and i don't mean that to sound like i'm tooting my own horn, its just a fact. most of these records if they were in my store would sit for months. which is why these stores around here are always so happy to see me.

Hammer – S/T (Asylum – 1979) (white label promo, dude! Maybe my fave new wave Jan Hammer album.)

Jim Dawson – You’ll Never Be Lonely With Me (Kama Sutra – 1972) (This album sucks. Jim Dawson kinda sucked. Judging from the two Jim Dawson albums I have heard.)

Marlin Greene – Tiptoe Past The Dragon (Elektra – 1972) (White label promo. Clean as a whistle. Now I have…uh…a back-up copy just in case.)

Flying Circus – S/T (Capitol – 1973)

Trapeze – Hot Wire (Warner Brothers – 1974)

John Stewart and Buffy Ford – Signals Through The Glass (Capitol) (Nice clean copy. What a great album.)

Willow – S/T (20th Century – 1973)

Peter McCann – S/T (20th Century – 1977) (Not so hot)

Dennis Linde – Trapped In The Suburbs (Elektra – 1974) (Dig this. White label promo.)

Norton Buffalo – Desert Horizon (Capitol – 1978)

Blue Steel – Nothing But Time (Asylum – 1981) (I have another Blue Steel record that I really like, but this isn’t half as good. Not that anyone will need this information.)

Giants – S/T (LA Records – 1978) ( I LOVE this album. This is the members of Journey and Santana making the latin prog fusion funk disco album of my dreams.)

Armand Schaubroeck – A Lot Of People Would Like To See Armand Schaubroeck…Dead (Mirror) (I sold my copy of this to a friend of mine last year because I basically never played it, but he kept telling me how much he loved it every time he saw me, so I think that’s why I want my own copy again. I mean, it is a one of a kind kind of artifact…)

Brian Alexander Robertson – “Wringing Applause” (Ardent – 1973) (Okay, I own this too, but it was a really nice promo copy.)

Mikael Rickfors – The Wheel (CBS – 1976) (Dutch pressing. Never heard of him. Not very good. Or at least the first side isn’t.)

Courtland Pickett – Fancy Dancer (Elektra – 1973) (Love this. Such a beautiful copy too.)

Pan – S/T (CBS – 1973) (Another great find. Another pristine copy. I NEVER see this record. Ever. This album features three dudes I have owned solo albums by. Ron Elliott, Keith Barbour, and Sherman Hayes. This album was made for me. For real.)

Hoodoo Rhythm Devils – What The Kids Want (Blue Thumb – 1973)

Larry Henley – Piece A Cake (Capricorn – 1975) (For the Capricorn completist. Promo, cuz you probably won’t find it any other way.)

Kindred – Next of Kin (Warner Brothers – 1972) (Is there anything prettier than a white label WB pressing?)

Wood Newton – S/T (Elektra – 1979) (another WLP but this country dude doesn’t thrill me.)

Barry Moore – Treaty Stone (Mulligan Music – 1978) (This is wonderful! I had no idea. I just thought it was gonna be okay-ish Irish stuff, but it’s a dreamy record. Sells for some cash too, apparently. Really glad to hear it.)

Richie Furay – Dance A Little Light (Asylum – 1978) (Another nice unplayed WLP)

Andy Pratt – Shiver In The Night (Nemperor – 1978) (I don’t remember liking this anywhere near as much as his godhead/canon/alltime debut, but it was sealed and now that I’m such a big fan of the one of the greatest pop debuts in music history, I should give this one another chance.)

Carl Henry – Reel Dreams (Reel Dreams – 1979) (I only bought this because Carl says on the back that he wrote a song on here originally for Tanya Tucker to sing as the theme song to the Battlestar Galactica t.v. show but the show got cancelled and it never happened. How could I resist?)

Michael Quatro Jam Band – Look Deeply Into The Mirror (Evolution – 1973) (Hero. Just a hero. His whole family...heroes.)

Tony Rallo and the Midnite Band – Burnin’ Alive (Casablanca – 1979)

Storm – S/T (MCA – 1979)

Brewer & Shipley – Down In L.A. (A&M ) (Just the nicest copy you could hope for. And again I never see this record. Officially Skot Canon. Just for the production alone its up there. A&M ruled so hard when it came to exquisite production. That label is worth its weight in gold. This album rules.)

Taggett – S/T (United Artists – 1975)

Mac Gayden – Skyboat (ABC – 1976) (Yes, I needed a clean WLP copy of this too. Hot stamper!)

Skymonters with Hamid Hamilton Camp – S/T (Elektra – 1973) (Another WLP. Ian and Jacob need this if they don’t have it.)

Farragher Bros – Family Ties (ABC – 1977)

Puzzle – S/T (Motown – 1973) (WLP. Hot!)

If – Double Diamond (Metromedia – 1973) (This might be my fave If album. I feel like I own 40 of their albums, but I probably only have five. Or six…)

Locomotiv GT – S/T (ABC – 1974)

Louisiana’s Le Roux – Keep The Fire Burnin’ (Capitol – 1979)

Jim Mandell – Metamorphosis (Family Productions – 1974) (Second side of this is great!)

Laso – S/T (MCA – 1977) (Hotness!)

John Neel – John Neel’s Amazing Marching Machine (Epic)

A Foot In Cold Water - A Foot in Cold Water or All Around Us (Elektra – 1974) (Another sweet WLP. Way better than my copy. They actually had another one there too and I was tempted…one of my fave proto-metal albums. Or just one of my fave metal albums. )

Sweetbottom – Angels of the Deep (Elektra – 1978) (Crazed fusion from Wisconsin with a drummer who could have started a death metal band. “Shrapnel In My Ankle” is insanely good.)

Jan Akkerman & Kaz Lux – S/T (Atlantic – 1976)

Bim – Thistles (Elektra – 1978) (Bim’s voice is crazy. Really strange. Produced by Emitt Rhodes.)

Heartwood – Nothin’ Fancy (GRC – 1975)

Robert Lamm – Skinny Boy (Columbia – 1974) (Jacob tipped me off to this one the other day!)

Back Pocket – Buzzard Bait (Joyce – 1976) (I’m pretty sure I still own a copy…dig this record. Can’t pass it up for two bucks.)

Axe – S/T (MCA – 1979)

Jimmy Spheeris – The Original Tap Dancing Kid, Ports of the Heart, isle of View (Columbia) (Again, clean promos. I can’t pass them up. I love these records and I don’t know why more people don’t, but they don’t seem to. Around here anyway. They sit in my store forever.)

Jerry Riopelle – The Second Album (Capitol)

High Cotton – S/T (Island – 1975)

Oh and Barry Moore the irish folk guy is AKA Luka Bloom. And he is Christy Moore's brother.

Do you know his stuff as Luka Bloom? I've never heard his BM stuff, I only know his first two LB albums. BM is more fingerpicking, right?
Saw him give a very impressive solo performance at Pinkpop festival (Holland) in 1991. He did this one awesome song ("Ti amo", I don't think he's ever released a studio version) where he looped himself multiple times and played these eliptical melodies that created some kind of vortex that sucked you in. Mesmerizing.

i've never really listened to the luka bloom stuff. i mean i've always been aware of him but usually i have to chance upon a record or cd and i don't often see his.

i have that Heartwood record in my sell pile... i remember it kinda sucking.
Also, I see Down in LA ALL THE TIME, and my fave B&S rekkerd is Weeds. love the John Stewart & Buffy Ford.

I have a Bim record, different one, though. The first track on it is really good (I think it's called "tender lullaby").
I gave my copy of "Weeds" to a friend who had been searching for it and freaked out when she saw that I had it.
Regrets :(

dud i can get u a copy of weeds, don't sweat it. what goes around

Ian, you are a class act

Andy Pratt – Shiver In The Night (Nemperor – 1978) (I don’t remember liking this anywhere near as much as his godhead/canon/alltime debut, but it was sealed and now that I’m such a big fan of the one of the greatest pop debuts in music history, I should give this one another chance.)

Records Are Like Life is that good? (s/t not his debut if that's what you're referring to, it's from several years later)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i8Kb8-qfts

i was grippin' rares this morning. had fun. put a sign on the door and hit the road. found a couple of cool things. even a RARE PRIVATE LONER GUITAR SOLI FAHEY BASHO MONSTER. for a dollar. its a really good record. found a clean copy of st john green for a good price. sold my copy 20 years ago when nobody wanted it and i never played it much but i always thought about it so what the hell. got the silent running soundtrack. some cool 45s. some other stuff. some stuff for the store. oh and also the super awesome STARDRIVE album on columbia. that album is so friggin' cool. super astral sci-fi funk from 1974.

Didn't you hear scott records are drying up? What's the PRIVATE LONER GUITAR SOLI FAHEY BASHO MONSTER you found? That Stardrive record is cool, don't own it but would like too. I like it when you make those list, esp when it's all of these unknown(to me)s rock/funk/ssw records from 70 to 80. I always seen If records at this one shop near here for a few dollars but I always pass on them, should I go pick them up?

ummmmmmm okay i'll figure that out cuz its the only picture on the internet...

It's a rare, but I just got hip to this record, don't know how I never knew about it. It's good

I meant it's not a rare

oh never mind can't do it now. here's a link to the cover:

http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/58671/#826409

and its funny cuz the guy on soulstrut is like anyone know anything about this? and the only person who posts is the guy who made it.

that is the good butts band album. the other one stinks.

I almost bought a Roy Smeck 78 today, but I didn't.

some of his are really good... and some of them are really smooth.

how did you like Repairs, pete? It's a good record i think. the songs are a bit obtuse. structurally.

i really like it -- just heard the A-side, but it was really good. vocalist from the first song is my favorite.

I like alan bown

oh also linda cohen's LEDA to complete my collection!

linda is a pal of mine! well, she was when i lived in philly anyway. she introduced me to her pals from my beloved mandrake memorial. can't thank her enough for that.

also, i think ian is structurally obtuse.

oh BURN

so i was having this experimental music fest at the store:

CHRISTOPH HEEMANN FEST: In Camera & VIOSAC (SUNDAY JUNE 10 IN GREENFIELD, MA)

and i'm thinking damn i need some fresh hip sounds for the fresh hip people coming to the store and this guy comes in the store on saturday - normal looking boomer type of guy - and he says he has 8 boxes of records and a bad back so we have to go there to look. so morning of the fest i go look and he's got big boxes in his basement and i start going through them and i see classical, etc, and then i see HELLO terry riley and electronic stuff and out jazz and arhoolie blues and miles and james brown and all kinds of cool stuff! they've been in boxes in the basement forever but they are all pretty much clean and just need a wiping. so i give the guy more money than he expected - think he would have been happy for someone to just haul them out of there because he's moving - and i hightail it to the store where i have to clean and get ready for all the people but i pull all the choice stuff and give it a quick swiffer and bag it all and put it in the back room and i let people look through it all night. sold some of the good stuff too. terry riley, embryo, mother mallard, john cage, etc. cool copy of zoning by mary lou williams i sold to christoph. everyone was really happy to get some of this stuff. and it had been in a basement for decades until that morning. new life for choice records.

i'll make a list of the stuff i pulled to keep. there is one record i am trying to justify keeping...

i didn't keep this and someone wanted it. i never see this one. cool record.

http://a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/58/a0372873e71d70a43977cc26f7455815/l.jpg

i'm keeping this though. love this record.

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20110322/290548260372.jpg

meanwhile, the avant garde electronic guys who came to play were buying all my folk records! they already own all the stockhausen records in the world. i had a complete set of these and christoph grabbed them as soon as he got in the door:

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20100315/170459809614.jpg

okay i usually don't post the rarez i grip in the line of duty - i mean i buy records almost every day for the store - but these were especially nice and its not EVERY day that i get tempted to keep so much. what can i say, i'm weak. i'm usually happy to get one or two records out of every box i buy. its different when i go to stores. then i'm looking for bargains for me and not necessarily for the store. talking record stores not thrift stores and the like. those excursions are straight up pickin' 'n' flippin'. though i am keeping that rarefolkmonster i found last week. its so damn pretty. anyway:

air - open air suite (novus - 1978 - promo)

cage/pousseur/babbitt (columbia) (i don't keep a lot of cage - too easy to sell and people always want it - but i love his stuff on this. "Variations II".)

randall/vercoe/dodge - computer music (nonesuch) (ditto with the nonesuch computer series. but i dig this one a bunch.)

philip glass - music in twelve parts - parts 1 & 2 (virgin - 1974) (minty italian virgin pressing. such a perfect copy. i don't own all twelve parts. i like these parts.)

rolling stones - december's children (and everybody's) (london) (clean u.s. mono copy. i scored a very clean early u.k. goat's head last week. i'm really into the stones lately.)

steve reich - six pianos (dg - 1974) (never actually seen this as a stand alone album. figured it was just part of the reich box set that dg put out. but i don't own that anyway so i'm keeping this.)

charlie parker - bird/the savoy recordings (master takes) (savoy)

doug carn - spirit of the new land (black jazz - 1972)

betty davis - they say i'm different (just sunshine) (such a nice copy. could sell this in two minutes but when will i see a copy this nice again?)

doug carn - revelation (black jazz - 1973) (clean promo copy!)

betty davis - nasty gal (island) (again with the niceness.)

wolfgang dauner - output (ecm - 1970) (*sigh* unplayed german pressing...this is when i really start justifying my life.)

braxton, hampel, lee - familie (birth - 1972)

mantler/bley - 13 & 3/4 (watt - 1974) (i love the mantler side of this. so heavy. i am a swans fan after all.)

jeanne lee - conspiracy (earthforms records) (*sigh* biiiiiig justification. but its such a great record! and its such a pretty copy! and i will probably never ever see one again. i'd never seen one until yesterday! might have to pick out $300+ from my collection to justify. then i will be right with god. but if you can find this in a moldy box in someone's basement and immediately ship it off to japan or wherever then you are a better man than i.)

chris swansen - pulaski skyway (badger) (such a cool record. luckily doesn't sell for hundreds. but it should.)

muhal richard abrams - lifea blinec (novus - 1978)

blue mitchell - funktion junction (rca - 1976)

archie shepp - kwanza (impulse - 1974) (needed this!)

Damn that's a list of great records and great twist of fate right before the show, or maybe not fate, maybe something else...

yeah it was unbelievable timing...

especially when all week people were bringing in their grandma's lawrence welk 78s.

~jealous~

i got some more folk records today, and i got good records in the mail, so i think the record gods are taking pity on me right now or something.
i bought a nice topic record, a family folk singng group, and a few ballad singer field-recording type records on folk legacy.

and i got the walnut band record! i won it on ebay for cheap cuz it was listed w/o "private psych" in the listing title, probably. VERY dead-esque boston jam group. i like it.
and i got a nice 78 in the mail by the georgia organ grinders.

i also bought this private press 70's rock album online from my pal josh at mystery train and he came to the store and we traded stuff for it and a couple of other things. oh! the tommy hoehn record i needed! he had that on hold for me. love that album. i had the major label one already. this is the power play one. and he gave me a copy of that michael chapman album he put out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JJVg-YpYYk

randall/vercoe/dodge - computer music (nonesuch)

i took charles dodge's music humanities class in college. nice guy, but he paced the course so that he barely made it to the 20th century and never got to talk about his own stuff.

i know i've mentioned this before, but maria's music professor at college was alvin lucier! i never get over that...

This thread is an inspiration

oh fuck scott srsly if u are ever interested in selling/trading that jeanne lee, let me know!!! it is a high entry on my NEEDZ list.

(i know this is why you raerly post raers so yknow grain of salt here)

speaking of want lists i got this today from my pal from west virginia (ian knows him). vinyl is VG-ish with some scratches, but it sounds better than that. so happy to get it. also got kevin ayers (great u.k. copy of whatevershebringswesing) and robert wyatt (first album - later 70's pressing) i needed. his car is a goldmine. unbelievable stuff he picks up on his buying trips. i traded something for these. between the jeanne lee and the erica pomerance man i am feeling mighty geeky right about now.

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20080506/280224756650.jpg

and yeah i want to live with the lee record for a while. plus, i just REALLY like it. there are definitely $$$ records i could part with if i came across them, but some records are special.

i figured! that lady is something special.

xp whoa erica p, too!!! u are on fire.

yeah i'm gonna have to think of a good waxidermy handle and post there. DeepKratez666.

first album by the rova saxophone quartet. 2nd side is a 20+ minute track called "Ride Upon The Belly Of The Waters, Building Your Boats To Carry All". Yikes! It's something.

http://www.m-etropolis.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/rovacinemarovate.jpg

i like rova!

Betty Everett - "There'll Come a Time" (Uni, '68)

Guy also convinced me to buy a few records on the Hit Records label, which I'd never heard of before. Budget cover tunes label from the '60s. Have to keep an eye out for these in the future. Was told that some of the soul tune covers are popular with Northern Soul fans.

Wish I had all of Jimmy Holiday's 45's, He's real deep soul, even when not singing ballads.

yeah man i fuckin LOVE mexican food.

i just got a nice copy of that veloso record too. such a cool album.

awesome Seizure pete! many thanks!

i was in NYC for the weekend. the ARChive of Contemporary Music's sale was tiny and yielded nothing worth schlepping back to Cambridge, except my wife bought a beautiful vintage tablecloth and matching napkins set which we subsequently left sitting on a bench by the ferry in Greenpoint. a quick spin through Academy Annex was fun, but again left empty-handed; no time.

but today my mailman brought me:
a japanese pressing of Tom Verlaine's first solo lp
Roy Montgomery's Scenes from the South Island lp --longlong time want

it's one of those records i loved for a long time on CD, and just NEVER see original copies of -- i kind of gave a little gasp as i saw some other dude flippin through records go past it. $25 and SUPER clean record and sleeve. i was really really happy!

oh shit i also got FANG's LANDSHARK!!

^^ XXP im talking about veloso not seizure, but i love that one too...

25 is a good price. some people try and sell it way too high.

today i went to the thrift store and i bought that recent-ish charles schultz bio. the one schultz's son wrote a huge response to in the comics journal. been on my 'to read' list for years.
