WFMU mini-record fair, just bought four yazoos from willie lane --

v/a: uptown blues
v/a: 10 years of black country religion
v/a: alabama jubilee
buddy boy hawkins & his buddies

I spent too much on vinyl in Philly yesterday to justify going to that :(

What is the Alabama Jubliee record? Googling it doesn't result in much.

oops that;s my bad, it is just "the blues of alabama."

"alabama jubilee" is a fiddle tune

A bit disappointed by the Soul and Jazz selections at the mini-WFMU, but still grabbed these:

The Counts - What's Up Front That Counts
Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction
Blue Note Best of Horace Silver
The Leon Thomas Album
Big John Hamilton - Finally Caught Up With Jody

First time I've come home from a record fair with budgeted cash in the pocket, though.

i didn't look at very many tables honestly, we got there just before three and only stayed til about 4:15 or so. my wife is learning to drive so we left while we still had daylight. after i bought the blues comps i just stopped myself.

where did those parentheses come from

yesterday I picked up Chris Darrow "Artist Proof" Mayo Thompson "Corky's Debt to His Father" (with a bonus 7", replacing my cd copy) and Running "Runnning."

artist proof is awezome

stuff i got in easthampton today. at platterpus and at an antique store that had two boxes of records with some cool clean 80's u.k. pressings. cheap too.

davy d. - davy's ride (def jam) (perfect promo copy! i don't even know if i've ever seen this on vinyl. maybe only on tape. anyway, it rules.)

weekend w/keith tippett - live at ronnie scotts (rough trade)

electric guitars - wolfman tap/stamp out the termites 12 inch (naive)

weekend - the view from her room/leaaves of spring 12 inch (rough trade)

weekend - la variete (rough trade)

the db's - repercussion (albion)

the db's - like this (bearsville)

the db's - stands for decibels (albion)

konk - konk party EP (rough trade)

les menestriers - domino (disques du cavalier) (amaaaazing early 70's french ancient folk/renaissance stuff. unbelievable sound. in this copy was all kinds of stuff like a live program, ticket stubs, show handbill, etc. makes it even more special. just a beautiful record.)

matar mohamed - musique traditionelle arabe (disques alvares) (another beauty. sheesh, the sound on this record...)

the treacherous three - feel the heartbeat 12 inch (enjoy)

donald byrd/booker little - the third world (tcb)

birds on a may morning (droll yankees)

http://prognotfrog.blogspot.com/2006/08/les-menestriers-domino-fra-1973-224.html

holy wow @ those Weekend records, I never see those.

I picked up that Weekend album too in a bargain bin last year - far superior to Stuart Moxham's post Young Marble Giants effort The Gist, whose LP I found in another bargain been a couple of weeks back..

i like bargain bins.

i got some 78s in the mail yesterday --
ira & eugene yates - powder & paint / sarah jane (columbia)
warren caplinger - my wife's gone to the country / gonna raise a ruckus tonight (champion)
allen brothers - old black crow in a hickory nut tree / no lowdown hanging around (bluebird)
ashley & abernathy - corrinna, corrinna / ashley & green - short life of trouble (perfect)
blind alfred reed - why do you bob your hair girls / always life him up and never knock him down (victor)

Hey guys I finally made time for records today! Found a shop in OKC and picked up
Dennis Lambert - Bags & Things (Dunhill)
Ned Doheny - Ned Doheny (Asylum)
Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Loose Salute (RCA)

I wonder if it was the same place I scored a few things of a similar ilk while in OKC? Can't remember the name...LOTS of records...baby raccoon in a cage...

Yep though raccoon isn't quite a baby anymore. I wanted to buy so many records there, but they weren't exactly priced to move, sort of above market price. Nice condition of almost everything in the store, so maybe it would've been worth it to buy that minty Easybeats for $75? Forgot what the place was called too.

His prices do kind of suck.

Hungaria - Rock and Roll Party
Checkfield - Distant Thunder
Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band - Calling All Beatniks!
Tiny Desk Unit - Naples
Kraftwerk - Exceller 8
Ironhorse - S/T
The Human League - Travelogue
Ohio Express - Mercy
Line Lovich - Flex

picked these up in wellington during a stay last week and blew my record buying budget in the first shop i walked into:

joe heaney - come all ye gallant irishmen (mid seventies recording in gaelic and english on philo)
elizabeth cotten - vol.3 when i'm gone (reissue, first cotten i've heard and now i really want to check out what she does with a banjo)
art ensemble of chicago - among the people (nice live recording from 1980)
motihar/sathe/thakur/schweizer/trepte/neumeier/schoof/wilen - jazz meets india (free jazz colliding with classical indian music from 1967, opened it up to find it's even signed by mani neumeier!)
alfred harth - this earth! (eighties ecm release with paul bley, maggie nichols, barre phillips and trilok gurtu, closer to the art song type stuff i've heard him doing with heiner goebbels than the more "out" just music lp)
welfare state/lol coxhill - s/t (after a first listen: awesome!)

and in other news, i had a look through the 20 or so records belonging to the person i was staying with and hidden among the uriah heap and steeleye span records was a copy of what seems to be the rarest of the rare vertigo releases by a very prog looking band called dr z which probably hasn't been played in upwards of thirty years and according to popsike can go for crazy money (and after listening to a track on youtube, it doesn't seem to be for its musical worth), so yeah thought it was a good idea to let her know what she has on her hands so it doesn't end up in a dumpster or similar

i got that lol/welfare state last week too!!!

That is the responsible thing to do, yes.

Some 30 years ago, someone I used to know used to 'melt' up some of the albums his flatmate owned (with his collusion), I said whoa what? and he was 'yeah, but they were all hippie crap, and JJ hated them too", into Flowerpots. I said "yeah, but they're probably worth a fortune, or will be!"

Now, I fully realise not every album on the Deram label circa 1971 is worth money. But.

bought punk stuff and put all the crappy stuff out in the store and kept all the good stuff. hahahaha! not entirely true. i put some good stuff out. the troo kult punk stuff will go on ebay. cuZ some of it is too specialized to sell here. just don't judge me too harshly with some of these. i've been a fan of pre-scary skrewdriver for years and always wanted these. hey, i don't own any burzum albums. wait, i do actually own a burzum album...

the oppressed - oi!oi! music! (oppressed) (one of my favorite records of the 80's and i already have it but you never know when you might need a backup...)

slaughter and the dogs - do it dog style (damaged goods) (nice white vinyl repress and i gave up on finding a u.k. decca copy for cheap...)

the infas - sound and fury (panache) (love infa riot and i swear i'm not kidding when i say parts of this album remind me of youth brigade's sound and fury album.)

the anti nowhere league - the perfect crime (gwr) (i might be the only person who actually likes post-yob punk goth pomp ANL. but i liked goth pomp damned records too.)

outcasts - blood and thunder (new rose)

blitz - new age 12 inch (future records)

the last resort - a way of life - skinhead anthems (captain oi!)

james t. pursey - revenge is not the password (turbo)

sham 69 - shams last stand (link) (so amazing...)

the mob - let the tribe increase (lazy dog) (awesome 2xlp comp. so great.)

anti-pasti - caution in the wind (rondelet) (i'd put this in the store, but nobody would buy it. so i'll take it home.)

cockney rejects - the wild ones (a.k.a.) (i may already own this...)

stosstrupp - wie lanf noch... (tough independent) (rock-o-rama repress i think? amazing early 80's stuff)

cotzbrocken - jeden das seine... (rock-o-rama) (original pressing from 1981. just so demented i have to keep it.)

v/a - united skins (boots & braces) ( i know i know but again pre-scary and the other stuff on here is amazing)

cockney rejects - lethal (roadracer) (love this album don't care what anyone says)

skrewdriver - all skrewed up (chiswick) (i know i know but don't blame the rest of the original line-up! that acoustic guitar intro! near mint original pressing! such a great album. what can i say?)

4skins - a few 4 skins more - volume 1 (link) (2 album set and i have both albums already and yes i really love 4skins)

the accursed - laughing at you... (wreck 'em) (from 1984. again, so demented. they were inspired.)

oi polloi - fuaim catha (skuld releases)

skrewdriver - back with a bang! 12 inch (boots & braces) (i know i know but this is one of the greatest sounding punk 12 inches ever made. also pre-scary. i mean, i still want the two chiswick 45s too...and then that's it for me and this band.)

the wall - daytripper (no future) (from 1982. nobody would buy this either. so i will give it a loving home.)

maddeningly, I will have to buy the Mob 2LP reissue at some point even though I have everything on it except the No Doves Fly Here 7", cuz it costs more than the reissued 2LP.

The Whatnauts - Introducing... (Stang)

I have been tracking this down forever. Found recently at a very reasonable price in pristine condition. So, so psyched. And the jackets worn on the album cover are most excellent.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K7OYHdaXL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

ooooh does yours have that sticker on it??

Midheaven update is burning up my inbox, just placed an order for
VA Assiyo Bellema 12"
Styrenes Essential Styrenes Vol 1 2x7"
Nothing People C'mon Girl 7"

x-post

Sticker, and some shrink intact. It's only February, but quite possibly my big score of 2013.

I swear there's only one guy left in Toronto who's worth a damn: a flea market shop that mostly sells CDs and DVDs, but in the past year has been keeping a couple of hundred records out. Everything's in excellent shape, and he prices stuff like it's 1980--not because he's clueless, he knows a lot about music, but stuff is priced to sell, not sit there. I got Springsteen's debut for $5 (I'm not even a casual fan--haven't bought a Springsteen record since Tunnel of Love) and Stephen Stills' second for $6 today. What was hard was leaving behind two things I already have: the New York Dolls second for $7 and Neil's On the Beach for $5, both with original inner sleeves.

Any of you guys like Happy the Man? Found a copy of their first album today for a dollar at the swap meet. Couple of pieces I like so far on Side One.

they had their moments.

Neil's On the Beach for $5

that's a super bargain. On the Beach was hard to find for a while before it had been reissued.

xpost

So the "sticker" is actually part of the cover art. I was worried that this might indicate bootleg/repress, but I checked an old Moments record and it too has the fake sticker. Must have been a Stang Records marketing decision for early 70s releases. So no bootleg, at least I hope that's the case. Far as discogs indicated there is only one (Japanese from 1985) and the run-out on mine matches the orginal.

Record collector nonsense aside, Introducing The Whatnauts is fantastic. I've listened to the B-side like ten times in a row.

I picked up the Wicker Man soundtrack on vinyl yesterday. Forgot how incredible it is through and through. High time I saw the film again too!

xp yeah yeah i actually dont know that whatnauts -- just assumed it was a sticker... glad you love it!

78s that came in the mail today --

clarence green - banks of the ohio / fond affection (columbia)
carolina buddies - the murder of the lawson family / cottage by the sea (columbia)
bill chitwood & bud landress - woah mule / hen cackle (brunswick)
henry whitter - chicken, go behind the barn / western country (okeh)
tom darby & jimmie tarlton - down in florida on a hog / birmingham town (columbia)

i started to sell some 78s online. after all these years. starting slowly. i've always been too paranoid about shipping them. but i get nice stuff and its kinda impossible to sell them where i am.

if you need packing advice let me know. or grading advice. or send me a list of your pre-1936 country records and i will buy them.

78s are fun. there is a record i reallyy want ending on ebay today but it is already at $50 in V condition. so idk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxcHc2KtZjE

^^ one of the best georgia fiddle records of all time imo

Dollar finds:
Shirelles - Greatest Hits
Happy and Artie Traum - S/T
Steve Reid - Nova

Wow, some cool punk finds there Scott. I have Oi! Oi! Music on CD but would like to get it on vinyl one day. FYI, though, Back With A Bang is not by the pre-scary version of Skrewdriver... it's their first single post-reformation.

After lamenting that there were no record shops in my area since HMV and crappy local indie shop closed down, discovered an indoor market in Wood St next stop along from where I live in Walthamstow that has several record shops in it! One of which has LOADS of insanely rare punk/DIY records, loads of Messthetics type stuff, rare Italian HC etc. The prices are reasonable for what they are but mostly a bit out of my price range.

Here's what I've bought recently:

monroes - what do all the people know 7"
bleach boys - stocking clad nazi death squad bitches 12" (love this! been looking for not-insane priced copy for years and then this went up on Ebay for £20 and nobody else bid on it for some reason. It's in great condition as well!)
crusaders - street life 7"
booker t & the MG's - green onions 7"
dry heaves - shoot yourself LP
va - sent from coventry LP
electric vomit - no end 7"
MDC - millions of dead cops LP (UK pressing)
FUK - FUK LP
cramps - smell of female LP
lotus fucker - lotus fucker LP
electro hippies - the only good punk… is a dead one LP
wreckless eric - whole wide world 7"
damned - love song 7" (already have this but my copy is fucked and has horrible surface noise. this one's got a different sleeve and was only £1)
modern eon - euthenics 7"
undertones - jimmy jimmy 7"
zounds - can't cheat karma 7" (good price on this one! bit dirty though)
7 seconds - the crew LP
punishment of luxury - laughing academy LP

i would think that oi! oi! music would be easy to find where you are. its one of the easier oi albums to find in the states, actually. i honestly don't even know what they sell for these days. and yeah i know its new-lineup skrewdriver but still not scary lyrically. i don't know what the actual cut-off point is. same with the comp i got on boots & braces. the 2 skrewdriver songs on there are just oi! anthems and not racist in nature.

do you have the modern eon LP? i like that one.

but yeah chiswick era a whole other thing obviously.

I think that band are banned from being sold on ebay, I have seen a couple ads for Chiswick recs listed under titles only.

Handy tip, there

I only have the Modern Eon LP on mp3. It is good though.

Re: Back With A Bang again, the lyrics aren't "racist" as such, but there is this bit which is at least a dog whistle given where they went on their next single (which was White Power...):

Being patriotic's not the fashion so they say
To fly your country's flag's a crime

people sell the bad stuff using his initials sometimes. i'm keeping the stuff i got. wouldn't put them online.

the sound of that 12 inch though...can't express how friggin' amazing the drums and bass sound on it.

patriotism i can handle. and if you like oi you'll get some of that. was listening to the upstarts yesterday and reminded how much i like their song "england" which i guess at the time didn't go over so well with some people.

This public school near me has a weekly fleamarket/thrift sale every weekend and people usually have some records out but I hardly ever find anything if I stop to browse .... yesterday I flipped through some stuff and found Jean-Jacques Perrey's "Moog Indigo" and Perrey & Kingsley's "The In Sound From Way Out." 15 bucks for both. I was pretty psyched, never seen Moog Indigo except as a 30-dollar record on some store's wall. Went home and immediately listened to "E.V.A." real loud.

Apache Dropout Bubblegum Graveyard
Apache Dropout Magnetic Heads
Pretty Mustache in Your Face
Shocking Blue Mighty Joe b/w I'm a Woman
Crazy World of Arthur Brown Fire b/w Rest Cure

I sold lots and lots of hip hop records yesterday (the ones I got from that storage unit) at the Eugene Record Convention (supposedly the biggest on the West Coast??) and treated myself bigtime:

Robert Fripp - League Of Crafty Guitarists Live!
Camberwell Now - The Ghost Trade (awesome Swiss pressing)
John & Beverley Martyn - Stormbringer
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
Stiff Little Fingers - Go For It
Oneida - The Wedding

Severed Heads - Clifford Darling
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On

Michael Jackson - Off The Wall (ditto)
Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (ditto, one of those new pressings)
Legendary Pink Dots - Atomic Roses
Bailey, Muir, Parker, et al - The Music Improvisation Company
Gary Numan - Tubeway Army
VA - Darker Skratcher
Edward Ka-Spel - The Blue Room 2LP (I scratched side 3 of my old copy)
Caetano Veloso - S/T ("Tropicalia"? boot on Lilith, used)
Ciccone Youth 12"
Alice Coltrane - Ptah, The El Daoud
Spinanes - Manos
Whitehouse - Thank Your Lucky Stars
Dark Day - Exterminating Angel reissue
White Rainbow - Prism Of Eternal Now 2LP (YES!)
Strawberry Switchblade - S/T LP
Nonesuch Explorers: Real Bahamas Vol 3, The Jasmine Isle, Savannah Rhythms, Guarani Songs & Dances Of Paraguay
VA - Japan Bashing Vol. 1 7" EP
Geraldine Fibbers - Dragon Lady 7"
New Age Steppers - My Love 7"
Weekend - The View From her Room 7"
Fad Gadget - King Of The Flies 7"

Spinanes - Manos

Neat! Fun record.

was listening to the upstarts yesterday and reminded how much i like their song "england" which i guess at the time didn't go over so well with some people.

You are right. Mensii did lots of interviews denying any racist connotations, and this was before right-wing skinhead bands became a 'thing' as such.

Got this RAD Mexican rock compilation today for three bucks. Man.

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-405536187-onda-juvenil-teen-tops-blue-caps-las-moskas-enigma-lp12-_JM

Title track from this might be the best thing on it. (Didn't know some of these bands were from other parts of Latin America.)

http://www.discogs.com/Los-So%C3%B1adores-Vida/release/4122409

Really good cover of "Venus" by Las Moskas.

http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2832594

checked out Black Gold Records in Carroll Gardens BK last night (shopping around for my new go-to spot, Academy was a hike for me to get to from home anyway so fuck 'em)

it was ... just ok. all used stuff so kind of a crapshoot. think I'll just check their blog and if they post about buying a cool collection I'll swing by. they had a lot of obscure punk and alt-rock but mostly not the kind I'm looking for.

I got a Whatnauts 'Help Is On the Way' 12" and Yura Yura Teikoku 'Soft Death'/'Robot Deshita' remixes 12".

Dollar bin merenegue scores. Copped mostly on the strength of the awesome album art.

i like the the burchette, but i never listened to it. and it wasn't selling on discogs, even when i marked it down a bit. wanted the timothy & ms. pickens for a while. it's not the most consistent record in the world and there is some definite melodrama & oversinging going on, but i'm glad to have it. timewind cuz i was kinda missing the klaus schultze records i used to have.. i never had timewind. but i should hafe kept X and Mirage. I don't even remember when I sold them, but they must have gone at some pt cuz they ain't there anymore.

I've been meeting some cool diggers around here lately. There's a couple in a small town about twenty minutes from where I live who do stuff with the Numero group guys (who I also just met). This couple were really innaresting. They buy lps, but only to sell them. All they listen to at home is 45s. Dude bought the Pretty 45 "Mustache in Your Face" out of a car trunk in Kansas City, it's a new Numero relase.

Oh yeah, also got one of these:
http://i50.tinypic.com/mwqnnc.jpg

It's a book which includes a cardboard flap with a steel needle taped to it and a flexidisk that you spin with your finger.

Bought The Holydrug Couple's "Noctuary" (Sacred Bones) at their show last night at Death By Audio. Chilean psych-rock, worth seeing tonight at Mercury Lounge (with Follakzoid and La Big Vic) if you're into that kinda thing.

got a copy of nancy & lee for a buck at goodwill today. which is nice. i didn't have a copy. had one years ago, but it went somewhere. it's a kinda scuffy copy too, so i will hold on to it and not sell it

Bought The Holydrug Couple's "Noctuary" (Sacred Bones) at their show last night at Death By Audio. Chilean psych-rock, worth seeing tonight at Mercury Lounge (with Follakzoid and La Big Vic) if you're into that kinda thing.

Haha I learned yesterday that C00per Cr4in played synth in Follakzoid at the Mercury Lounge show. He did sound at their gig with Psychic Ills at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and hit it off with them. Their synth dude had to get back home, so they asked Coop if he could help out. They flew him out just for the one show. He said it went really well, though. I'm sure a collaboration is on the horizon at some point.

Digging Follakzoid and HolyDrug Couple fwiw.

ian, nice find on that chris smither. it's a surprisingly great album for being mostly covers in the mid-80s, and it's also super tough to find in the wild. one of the few legitimately good records on adelphi. do you dig that rockin foo, though? i wanted to but the vox rub me the wrong way.

There are plenty of good records on Adelphi! Well, at least all the Suni McGrath records, and tbe Gerry Goffin double, and Patrick Sky's dirty record. and I like the Sam Firk too.
Rockin' Foo is okay, for a buck I can't go wrong. Also, no one wants to buy that record so I may as well hold on to it.

do you fuck w. Jack Hardy, Moe?
Even his eighties records are pretty good I think. Some people peg him as working in the Leonard Cohen style, and I guess he does fall in that school of songwriting about characters/places. Hell of a voice imo, and a great songwriter.

re: adelphi, yeah, fair enough... i guess my problem is that i only ever see the endless garbage hippie string band dreck.

re: hardy, i have only ever seen that first one talked about by klausman, i think. or maybe you? i got the impression that copies turned up in NYC fairly regularly but i've definitely never seen one on the west coast. it sure looks up my alley. will happily trade you for your next double of any of his.

yeah, they're definitely NYC records. i was surprised to find 'the cauldron' in RI. think you'd dig 'em. will keep my eyes open.

Digging Follakzoid and HolyDrug Couple fwiw.

I like Follakzoid less ... they sound like other stuff I like but it's kinda "basic krautrock 101" imo. Still was glad I saw em.

really couldnt hang w follakzoid or holydrug couple for their first records. they sort of put me off ordering sacred bonez stuff for a while tbh...

Ha that's funny cuz they are getting me interested in Sacred Bones again. I find the Men very boring.

you and me both

yeah I just posted on the Men thread today haha. new one is not so good. Leave Home was solid though

i got some dope 78s from my friend john today, including a narmour & smith record that came from Crumb's collection.

Got a nice og copy of The Four Tops on Top ('66 - has "Shake Me, Wake Me" on it) for a dollar at the swap meet yesterday. Another great sounding Motown mastering job!

someone brought a copy of the mountain bus album into the store. some radio station graffiti on the cover, but the vinyl is clean. gonna keep it. also a super-clean WLP copy of the eclection album on elektra. sounds amazing. also a copy of the Just Vandy album. cover ain't so hot cuzza the radio thing - stickers/writing - but the vinyl is really clean. i might keep it. nice record, but not like a mind-blowing record. femme folk from 1972.

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20130214/350714207249.jpg

same label that put out the mason album:

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20080620/140242920556.jpg

i've wanted that mountain bus for years but can never bring myself to spend money on it.
i'd be happy with an affordable copy of the akarma reissue at this point.

paying a lot of money for old akarma vinyl is just ridikkilus to me.

yeah, it's dumb. but if i found a copy for $20 i wold buy it, i guess. especially cuz the mountain bus one comes with a bonus LP.

20 bucks is fine. when i see them for 50 or higher though!

byron has an old boot of that spirit of the lotus juice album or whatever that your friend just put out and its like 50 bucks. and i wanna tell them that there is a new reissue but i always forget to.

lol. i had that bootleg, sold it before the reissue came out, and even then i think i only got like 25 bucks or so.

scored the Rita Lee S/T yesterday for 4 bucks, that made my weekend

:D

the limpest of ssw collections just rolled through my local goodwill. i had to stop myself from buying 2nd and 3rd copies of unsellable stuff i love (jonathan edwards, jd souther, etc.). this dude was a total kindred spirit.

http://imageshack.us/a/img703/6891/photo31tu.jpg

i love the west records. in a weird way.
is that david wiffen at the bottom?

yeah, it's a double. you need?

i've had the west a couple times and always sold it but i've been so into the ron cornelius record the last couple of years that i figured i had to give it another shot when the price was right. still looking for the 2nd west record to give it another go 'round as well...

nope, i've got the wiffen. love it.

i think the 2nd one is the west record with a version of "july you're a woman"? love their version of that great song

i love the west albums. i was just playing that record on top the other night. the dude on a&m. that's good stuff! would be totally happy to find that stuff at the thrift store.

i was listening to judy mayhan the other night too! i want that libby titus album. or i want to hear it anyway.

god i can totally see that blonde beardo sitting at the table on the cover of that one album. even though you can't see him in the picture. forget his name. not a great album.

i like casey kelly too. i like a lot of this stuff.

haha. yeah, that one's a bit of a stinker. roger troy. it looked like it had swamp-funk potential with a penn/oldham track but it's pretty doo doo mid-70s soft soul and stinky r&b.

judy mayhan is pretty interesting. i guess she has a bunch of records but i don't think i've seen any of them before. rad and unexpected cover of one of my fave tracks on the first little feat lp.

oh, and i'll try to remember to rip the libby titus someday soon. haven't jammed it yet so i can't comment on its quality.

libby titus is okay, casey kelly good too.

slim pickings of late:

holy modal rounders - good taste is timeless (sundazed reissue)
john fahey - the transfiguration of blind joe death (transatlantic issue, so very good)
sir douglas quintet - best of (early eighties takoma release, really like some of the stuff on here, so going to have to explore their releases some more)
les percussions de strasbourg - americana (compositions by varèse, chávez & cage, nz press, so no nice shiny silver prospective 21e siècle cover, oh well!)

Does that Fahey come with the book? I found the same copy at an antique store but it was missing that :(

i think only the original US pressing on Riverboat had the book, on that Fahey rekkerd.

i actually scored that fahey x2 (sold the more knackered copy to my brother at a slight profit), and (as above) no books, though you can read the liners on johnfahey.org (written by a pre-canned heat al wilson, apparently).

whoops, make that johnfahey.com

Oh! This is what I was remembering... are these components mismatched?

http://collectorsfrenzy.com/details/390510279018/JOHN_FAHEY__TRANSFIGURATION_OF_BLIND_JOE_DEATH__1968_TRANSATLANTIC_LP_w_BOOK

Yeah it looks like the Riverboat version says so along the bottom of the cover. And the book in the link above says Riverboat on it as well.

*cover of the record sleeve (looked it up)

went to the library sale I mentioned on the "should I buy this" thread, some pretty good scores, will break it down later. 2 full boxes of 78s for $10. Tampa Red! Eartha Kitt! almost a whole box of Okeh that I bought w/o looking that is not as good as I had hoped. "Ya Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Aroun'" by Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers, I kinda just grabbed whatever had cool indie labels. about 100 all told.

Fun! I wonder if that sort of thing happens around here in NJ, never thought to look into it.

also found a 78 by William Baranco & His Rhythm Bombardiers ("Night & Day b/w "Weeping Willie") featuring a "C. Mingus" on bass - is this who I think it is?

sorry WILBERT Baranco

yes, yes it is.
http://www.jazzdisco.org/charles-mingus/catalog/

i think my copy of 'you gotta quit kickin my dog around' is on columbia.. what a great record. interested for sure in what the OKeh's are! some great stuff on that label.

man, i played hooky from work yesterday and hit the north bay with pete and zack. so much fun. highlights include:

bob marley - soul rebels og on upsetter
the maytals - from the roods og on trojan
heptones & friends - now generation og on jogib
chris darrow - s/t
tim buckley - starsailor
ann peebles - i can't stand the rain

lowlight:

pete finding my longtime want, terry telson - while in exile, with the wrong LP in it

i think my copy of 'you gotta quit kickin my dog around' is on columbia.. what a great record.

I only knew it cause I heard Michael Hurley play it once! it's not the kind of tune you forget.

<3 chris darrow <3

bought a ton of 45s today. couple thousand? maybe 3000. picking up the rest next week. sight unseen! i love 45s. and i don't even collect 45s. but i really love them. i love looking at them. i love playing them. i love selling them. guy i have bought from in the past is moving to florida and needs to get rid of stuff. i called his brother last year - i've bought stuff from his brother before too. he's a nice guy. they both are. they used to be pro party deejays in the late 70's and on into the 80's. - and said hey got anymore records and how about your brother? good timing. i put the bug in his ear. glad he didn't call any of the sharks where they live. they are sharky around there. anyway, he ended up with some radio station's 45s - a goodly amount anyway - and i love them. not all of them. but i love enough of them. almost all 60's and early 70's. rock and soul and pop. all over the place. i have a serious love for 60's rca promo 45s. and warner brothers too. oh heck i love them all. white label sugar magnolia is a beautiful thing.

also got a couple of dozen 50's R&B 78s in various conditions along with the 45s. and some decent LPs. and apparently the mother of all elvis LP collections. we'll see when i get over there next week. and 45 racks! he has a ton of sports stuff that i have no interest in. like, a million baseball cards and all that.

finally snagged a copy of Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda.

From the liner notes in the gatefold: "Anyone listening to this selection should try to envision himself floating on an ocean of Satchidanandadaji's love, which is literally carrying countless devotees across the vicissitudes and stormy blasts of life to the other shore."

will do alice!

love that record so so much, was it one of those nice "limited" reissues?

went to a not very exciting record show in connecticut with maria and the kids. we were gonna sell there but then decided not to. we would have done well cuz it wasn't very exciting and my shiny goods would have stood out from the dusty boxes of unpriced stuff that a lot of lazy dudes had. i got tons of cheap stuff for the store though. and lots of nice - mostly 70's jazz - stuff for me. but most importantly i got a PRISTINE unplayed promo copy of Bongo Rock - still in the shrink! - for 40 bucks. nobody else was gonna buy it. i don't think. i couldn't resist. nicest copy ever. gonna keep it. most i've spent on a record in a while. but some things are essential to own. i bought a lot of the jazz i'm keeping from the same guy. he had great prices and nice stuff. my friend andy was there and i got some good stuff from him too. most stuff there though was either trashy trash or priced dumbly. or not worth getting at any price. but i can always manage to find cool stuff. i would have cleaned up there though. couldn't help thinking that the whole time i was there...

Went through probably 500 records in the back of a thrift in DC on Saturday am, had six for the guy who got cute on pricing (wanted $2 each, despite the fact I had a bunch of singles) -- coughed up $2 per for one 12" (Leroy Smart, 100% of Love) and one LP (West Indian Record Mart presents Reggae Explosion) and left the rest on the counter.

DC is rough for thrifts, I hear crazy stories from estate sales but don't have a car.

okay, other stuff i got yesterday since i have a rare quiet moment on a monday morning:

harvey mandel - shangrenade (janus - 1973)

michael white's magic music company - go with the flow (abc - 1974) (awesome!)

eddie harris - come on down! (atlantic - 1970)

bobby hutcherson - waiting (blue note)

jimmy castor - C (long distance) (this is great and i can't believe i'd never heard/seen it.)

chuck hammer - guitarchitecture (guitarchitect enterprises - 1981) (this is so cool and demented. special thanks to lou reed and david bowie. "not made in England")

jayson lindh - cous cous (metronome)

southern contemporary rock assembly - the ship album (atlantic - 1972)

lani hall - sun down lady (a&m - 1972)

reverberi - stairway to heaven (ua - 1977) (reverberi version of stairway as good as jimmy castor's on jimmy's C album.)

the rainbow band - s/t (elektra - 1971)

nucleus - snakehips etcetera (sire - 1975)

jimmy ponder - illusions (abc - 1976)

gene ammons - velvet soul (prestige - 1964)

hampton hawes - a little copenhagen night music (arista freedom - 1977)

the two sides of hampton hawes (jas - 1977)

bobby hutcherson - the view from the inside (blue note - 1977)

jimmy james and the vagabonds - you don't stand a chance if you can't dance (pye - 1975)

kool and the gang - open sesame (de-lite - 1976)

alphonse mouzon - by all means (pausa - 1981)

gene ammons - angel eyes (prestige - 1965)

eddie harris - how can you live like that? (atlantic - 1977)

kenny burrell - sky street (fantasy - 1976)

eddie harris - bad luck is all i have (atlantic - 1975)

tom scott - rural still life (impulse)

marek grechuta & anawa - korowod (muza) (trippy polish stuff!)

michael longo - 900 shares of the blues (groove merchant - 1974)

valdy - s/t (a&m - 1972)

there's a track on the chuck hammer album called "Guitolocaust" where he plays 9 guitars. that's all you really need to know. amazing homemade blast of a record.

i think he wrote his own wiki but its very informative. i've already switched over from frippertronics to guitarchitecture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Hammer#Guitarchitecture_recordings

so many 45s! wowee. i'm in 45 hog heaven. and great LPs too. love hearing cool funk singles for the first time. even a big star promo. and a CAN picture sleeve. so much cool 60's stuff i've never heard. will have to make a couple of mix tapes.

went to Other Music for the first time in a long time and picked up some indie-ish stuff, mostly went to get the Kurt Vile record that came out yesterday but couldn't stop myself from leaving with a stack

Kurt Vile - Walkin on a Pretty Daze (I got the regular version on black vinyl ... there's a deluxe on blue vinyl with a different cover and some Espo stickers that you're supposed to use to customize the cover ... I decided that wasn't worth six bucks to me)

Wild Yaks - Million Years (really into these guys' drunk singalong vibe)

Merchandise - Children of Desire (guess they re-pressed this? I've had the free MP3s off their site for a while but the vinyl was sold out)

Maxmillion Dunbar - House of Woo (on RVNG, from half of Beautiful Swimmers, fresh sounding retro-house-music)

Moon Duo - Mazes (was in the used bin, probably my fave Wooden Shjips related record)

Parquet Courts - Light Up Gold (already been listening to this a shitload on spotify)

Their used bin is growing considerably, which is good since I struggle with the idea of a record store sustaining itself merely with new product alone. Even if it is as popular as Other Music is.

i woulda given you a copy of that kurt vile album, dave! next time you want something on matador JUST ASK. especially since you are being gracious enough to host us for game of thrones.

last time i went to other music i got a sealed folk record out of the discount bin, i think i paid $5, and sold it for $40. i love their discount bin. it's always full of weird folk-rock obscurities. thanks klausman.

Oh yeah I got that new Wedding Present record for $5 from there, too.

i woulda given you a copy of that kurt vile album, dave! next time you want something on matador JUST ASK.

thanks man! didn't even occur to me. if you've got extra copies of Smoke Ring for My Halo or Constant Hitmaker lying around, hook me up ;)

i think i have a spare of smoke ring i can bring you! i'll have to double check that i did not already sell it.

or i can just ask helen to get one from work

Their used bin is growing considerably

yeah seems like they've rearranged things a bit. I can't remember what used to be on the left side where all those used records (and new electronic records) are now. more CDs I guess.

they were playing that new Charles Bradley record on Daptone in the store and that was sounding good too. think they only had the CD on it though. or else I looked in the wrong place.

Yes it used to be all CDs there! Smart of them to adapt. Much better margins than $2-$3 per $16.99 CD sale.

hanging and playing 45s with terry adams at the store made my day today. his knowledge is vast.

weekend trip to the Oregon coast and thrift store hunting yielded ten mint classical LPs (mostly on the Angel label), three Egyptian 45's (not so great), and seven mint condition Brazilian tropicalia 45s from 1970 (Veloso, Jobim, others I don't know) which are obv awesome. today I scored a super nice copy of ALice Coltrane's A Monastic Trio, life is good.

stuff I got at my friend mike's store on marthas vineyard:

burton greene - presenting burton greene (columbia) (excited to find this. great copy.)

blues magoos - gulf coast bound (abc) (also never see this one.)

fraser & debolt - with pleasure (columbia)

jay bolotin - s/t (cur) (great stuff!)

bert jansch - rosemary lane (reprise)

eddie lang & lonnie johnson - blue guitars (parlophone) (60's u.k. comp of 20's stuff. sounds amazing.)

produkt der deutsch-amerikanischen freundschaft (warning records) (never seen this one.)

iron butterfly - scorching beauty (mca)

cochise - swallow tales (ua)

possum river - s/t (ovation)

lazarus - s/t (bearsville) (don't think i've ever seen it. nice record.)

redeye - one man's poison (pentagram) ( I love redeye.)

barefoot jerry - watchin' tv (monument) (thought I had all the records, but it turns out I didn't.)

uri geller - s/t (Columbia)

king pleasure sings/annie ross sings (prestige)

force of nature - s/t (tommy records)

heartsfield - the wonder of it all (mercury)

soul flutes - trust in me (a&m) (would pay double for a sealed copy, but this one sounds nice.)

eleventh hour - ollywood hot (20th century)

got stuff for the store too. including 2 big boxes of latin records that I had priced for him about 5 years ago that were still there intact and seemingly untouched! not a big market for latin records on MVI I guess. mike gave me a great deal on both boxes. I can sell that stuff. eventually.

ive been re-interested in that burton greene after starting in on this new byard lancaster kick, scott -- lemme know how that one is!

jay bolotin is sick. nice find.

i came across a pretty sweet batch of funk/soul/jazz today at the marysville flea (near my wife's hometown, i go at least 10 times a year and buy records maybe a quarter of the time. shit, there's actually records there maybe only 50% of the time.). if i hadn't bought these today - and suggested to the seller to get the rest of their LPs out of the sun - they would have been warped by the first sunday in may.

this was the sonic highlight:

http://imageshack.us/a/img17/3310/img1414w.jpg

and this was the monetary highlight:

http://imageshack.us/a/img801/4039/img1415jt.jpg

also got:
the general - life in the big city 12"
infinity - spread the word (doo doo oakland modern gospel that still fetches some bank, thankfully)
buncha major label boogie stuff i can't remember now

oh, yeah, also:
bobby hutcherson - san francisco
marion brown - duets
some sealed eddie palmieri lp

azar lawrence - summer solstice

the fact that i found all these in marysville is still kinda blowing my mind.

i am having kind of a similar thing happen. people ask me all the time why i still go to thrift stores, and if i ever find things etc, and the answer is for like days like today --

8 conlon nancarrow LPs, two david hykes, george crumb, elliott carter, some private new age piano things that rule, sealed CRI titles, two steve roach records, henry cowell shit, sealed windham hill stupidness. love it!

yes, EIGHT conlon nancarrow LPs. two complete sets of the complete recorded works. one for me, one for the internet/record fair.

steve roach! shit, i would love to find some steve roach vinyl. the shit is r@re l@@k even at actual record stores ime.

yeah, they were not super popular records... one of the ones i got sells for occasionally stupid money on discog, and most of this stuff is sealed.

very cool! my in-town thrift stores usually suck, I need to get out to the coast to really score (like my post above).

this place usually has NOTHING good for records. and usually less than 100 things total.
they also had a bunch of hebrew records today, but i don't know if i can just wander into that shit blind.

you never know.

that's my motto.

wlp w/ both stickers, yo. kinda disproportionately psyched about this one. sadly has some repeating marks on it, otherwise it would be my copy for life (as it is i guess i'll just have to keep two copies of this thing).

http://imageshack.us/a/img801/2714/photo36b.jpg

I like that sticker, it's a thought bubble.

bought half a dozen Kate wolf LPs for a buck apiece, all minty fresh.
Also:
John fahey - after the ball
Calexico - spiritoso
Julie Driscoll/Brian auger - jools (ridiculously good shape, like it arrived out of a time machine. Best condition record from that time I've ever seen. )

kate wolf's song "you're not standing like you used to" is probably the SADDEEST SONG EVER

fyi: this is a serious album. so good. never seen it before last Saturday.

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20121223/310545843013.jpg

Calexico's Spiritoso is fantastic! I don't know whether people here generally perceive them to be kind of adult-contemporary as a band at this point or not but I love them and am very excited about this RSD release.

hey guys got some more records

i like the lazarus record. i don't think i ever bought it though. i came close. very sleepy iirc.

Got nice copies today of Randy Newman's 12 Songs ($5), Jefferson Airplane's Bark ($8), and the Byrds reunion album with the two Neil Young covers ($6). Which confirms something I've always maintained: put away your guide, sell LPs in good shape for a reasonable price, and I'll be buying.

had fun with my friends at the flywheel record fair in Easthampton today. saw lots of people i like. i like being on the front steps of the building. outside. next to my pal andy. brought my boombox and played lots of 80's metal and miami bass and indian classical tapes. so glad i did that. nobody ever brings tunes. traded with people which was nice and which meant i didn't spend a ton of cash. spent about 150 bucks. after i paid for my table i made a nice profit. i sold records to 33 people which is almost the speed of a long-playing record. here's some stuff i brought home. keeping a bunch of it. got some stuff for the store, but mostly i shopped for me today.

jimmy ponder - all things beautiful (t.k. - 1978)

buckwheat - hot tracks (london - 1973) (great southern rock!)

stardrive with robert mason - intergalactic trot (elektra - 1973) (excited to get this!)

maneige - les porches (harvest - 1975)

dada - s/t (atco - 1970)

http://skotrok.blogspot.com/2013/05/records-i-bought-today-at-mystery-train.html

scott, i dig that brush arbor LP. they also have an earlier private record under a different name that is reallllly good. the group is fool's gold and the LP is called kentucky faith. highly recommended.
http://www.theancientstar-song.com/2010/03/kentucky-faith/

coincidentally i just picked up a marj snyder LP i'd never seen before (that lady has a shitload of LPs) and brush arbor is the backing band. haven't spun it yet, though.

which marj?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbJWEQRDF8k

ahhhh never seen it!

i got this today for a buck --
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DAN-BARBER-WENDY-ANN-CAHOON-Embers-LP-Rare-Progressive-Xian-Rock-Folk-Psych-/360551768901?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item53f28f6345

no complete listings i can see, so i have no idea how accurate that price is. it's probably not very accurate.

Yeah it looks like it's straight out that guy's ass.

lol

i actually saw a SECOND copy of that record today when i was looking for stuff a few towns over.

(didnt buy it.)
did buy:
godz 2
max roach & archie shepp on hat-hut
two jade warrior records
private country record
3 old pulps
2 old conan magazines
blue sky boys live 1960-something LP
this mortal coil LP
ministry LP

the godz 2 & shepp/roach were around $15 each, which is not a bad price for those records. i might keep shepp/roach. and i will buy almost any copy of godz 2 cuz it is one of my favorite records.

i need clean godz 1 & 2 but it'll keep.

my copies at home are both VG+ i guess. contact high has scuffs but plays fine. i love those records so much.

i got some other cool stuff yesterday too. sealed copy of that rob galbraith record on capitol. couple bluegrass records on rounder. i also got a THIRD copy of that patrick sky 'songs that made america famous' record today. for $3 i couldn't say no. what else.. hmm... cold blood on san francisco sound.. bud powell tribute to thelonious.. random stuff

Gee I think I put out a copy of godz 2 for $5 or something when I worked at the record store. Maybe a year and a half ago?

oooops. it's not like the most valuable record in the world. but you don't see it very often, or at least i don't.

but it's so good and weird. i love it. opened my mind up to a lot of stuff when i was younger.

Oh, I'm not worried about it. Probably wasn't in the best shape, or maybe I misremembered the price I had set. Never listened myself...

annie got a little bored of fussy sea ranch, so we headed north to ft bragg yesterday. lotsa good stuff!

this is prob my fave of the 45s i got today... no turntble here so i'm listening to them on youtube lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC0vFA6qfQk

def becoming part of standard rotation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeJewY406s4

b-side with bonus belgian label

uh this one is really good too...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l66W8OETxg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8MocfGZNk

that bobby moore is niiice

I got a couple dozen 45s in DELAWARE this weekend for < $1 a pop including these personal anthems:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2WdE29xiTA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUVt4bE29_g

and The Box Tops / The Intrigues / David Dundas / Jr Walker / Philly Cream / Johnny Cash / Alice Cooper / Sneakers And Lace / Carol Gregory / The Supremes / The Guess Who / The Bee Gees / Dickie Goodman / Fats Domino / Willie Nathaniel Williams III / Jan Donaway / The Story of Mr. World / The Rhodes Kids / unlabeled calypso [presumably test pressing] / Saltwater Taffy / The Quick / Jerry Jeff Walker / Consumer Rapport / and a couple more

i am so cheap that a dollar still feels like a lot for a single, but I guess it really isn't that much in 2013 if it's in good condition

hell broke loose in georgia: georgia fiddle bands 1927-1934
chuck johnson - crows in the basilica
old mother hippletoe: rural and urban children's songs

Hell broke loose in Georgia is all killer. Katy did by Lowe stokes and mike whitten is one if the best fiddle records ever made. Plus the Georgia crackers and shores trio. Sooooo good

i bought close to 50 records yesterday from paul major. still going through them. some will be sold and some will be kept. so far the keepers are these --

duster bennet - justa duster (used to own this -- one song i REALLY Like and then some average-to-good whiteboy blues)
alan james eastwood s/t (a lilllll produced but the songs are good)
billy roberts & grits - thoughts of california (obscure rural rock)
VALDY s/t (country rock, cover is a photo of the mans head growing out of a tree.)
marian henderson - cameo (raer aussie acid volk)
2x later albums by medicine head. these are not as good as their best stuff (the "dark side of the moon" album imo) but still have a cpl songs that are good. not worth selling really, no one cares.

i had high hopes for a record by GRIFFIN on Romar, cuz it looked like country rock or rural rock or something but it's way too funky for me :\

http://badcatrecords.com/BadCat/GRIFFIN.htm

maybe i should relisten, i didn't listen to much of it at all cuz it sorta sucked. i would like to hear the neil young cover anyway

i really like that valdy album. think i listed it on here somewhere.

also everything was a dollar.
i need to go back. i put back a bunch of mediocre christian folk cuz i was running out of room in my bags to carry stuff home.

valdy cover reminds me of the gentle giant cover.. lemme see if there's a pic online

alllllso keepers i forgot to mention - both dayle stanley albums. i had the first one but this copy is nicer... apparently "after the snow" is super raer? sells for money anyway. this copy is pretty scuffy and noisy but it's better than paying a lot of money for something i'll only listen to once every 5 years..

lol apparently sometimes the dayle stanley rekkerd sells for $20 and sometimes for $100... weird. nothing in the middle.

medicine head rules. at least one of their songwriters does. some kinda low-rent crazyhorse west coast sounds.

keeping joe south s/t... never heard this one. is great so far. '71.

i feel like my senses are off. i don't like most of these so far:

Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight / Rhythm, Movement, and Dancing
The Quick - To Prove My Love / Rhythm of the Jungle
Leisure Process - Cashflow / The Emigré 2
Fun Fun - Happy Station
Grace Jones - The Apple Stretching / Nipple To The Bottle
Human League - The Lebanon / Thirteen
Alla Pugacheva - How disturbing is this way
The Tarney / Spencer Band - Three's A Crowd
Ian Matthews - Stealin' Home
Fletch OST
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
The Untouchables - Dance Party
Catspaw - Emerald Web
The Screaming Blue Messiahs - Totally Religious
Belt Junior High School Ninth Grade Mixed Choruses And Choraleers & Seventh And Eighth Grade Chorus - Pheb And Zipp (With A Little Help From Their Friends)
John Wayne - America, Why I Love Her
Ian Thomas Band - Goodnight Mrs. Calabash
4 Out Of 5 Doctors - s/t

I feel like something's off, I don't really like a lot of these so far. For example, The Untouchables - I was pretty excited about this one, I figured Stiff Records, Jerry Dammers, this has to be good. It actually blows. And The Quick - I got "Zulu" earlier this month, and it's great, but this other single is just not my thing right now.

first buying spree in a while... bargain bin record fair purchases.. everything 2 euros..

Reinhard Lakomy - Der Traum von Asgard (electronics) AMIGA
The Orchids - Unholy Soul
Michael Bundt - Just Landed Cosmic Kid
Buari - Buari
And Also The Trees - Green is the Sea
Smog - Burning Kingdom
Primordial Undermind - Yet more wonders of the invisible world
Sarah - Sarah and Friends
Throwing Muses - University
Cardiacs - On Land and In the Sea
Richard Wahnfried - Time Actor
Biff Bang Pow! - Oblivion
Peter Green - The end of the game.

pretty pleased with my haul...

The Bundt record for 2 euros?! I'd be pretty pleased too!
How's the Lakomy? Love his Das Geheime Leben album.

Yeah.. the vinyl is near mint, the only problem with the sleeve is there's a some scuffing on the spine... Not that i'm planning on selling it..

The Lakomy is not as good as Das Geheime Leben, there's some great abstract/abrasive electronics at the beginning of side one, and the drum machines are great, but there's a little bit too much cheesy chord action for my taste...

joe south s/t rules. "for the love of a woman" is my jaaaaaammmm.

also, please to tell me what the fuck is up with vandy because clearly i need it...

vandy, valdy, whatever. i'm drinking beers at the shop, what do you want?

oh nvrmnd, valdy is that canuck dude. i have a strict no canada policy. he has like 37 records, is this one actually good? I DONT BUY IT WHAT HAS CANADA EVER DONE?

sell me your machine head, tho

i bought 7 records today. they are all terrible, even the kevin coyne one.

the valdy ian mentioned is really good. his first album. country man.

sun ra -- lanquidity

BEST BUYING FREEZE EVER

lemme give credit where credit is due -- moe handy's timely txts have made it a truly sick week

lol you guys

yeah, valdy ain't half bad! some of the songs are even really good!

got a nice copy of this today. out of the back of some dude's car:

http://www.popsike.eu/pix/20080506/270235240326.jpg

it's an ian kinda thing, but i like it too.

i bought like 30 blues/r&b/gospel/soul 45s & 78s at the flea market this AM but i'm mostly stoked about this little bit of ephemera that came with them.

http://imageshack.us/a/img823/3350/photo3med.jpg

dmr, you can have it dude. holler at me. ian dot hetzner at gmail dot com.

I picked up Doris Duke "I'm a Loser" as well as a nice clean copy of The Harder They Come Soundtrack (from a dollar bin!) among a couple of other things last weekend.

nice! need that doris d.

i didn't know that pete. i sold my copy to a friend just last month.

>:O

Oh I also got a copy of Toni Basil's "Word of Mouth." I didn't realize that her Devo covers actually feature Devo backing her up.

friend gave me a sealed copy of JEREMY today.

7" or 12"?

man using "yellow ledbetter" as the end credits music was one of my favorite things about that movie YOUNG ADULT

NO PETE... THIS RECORD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkcQiZ7jX-o

jammed this afternoon --
dakota sit s/t
chris darrow s/t
paul siebel - woodsmoke & oranges
gib guilbeau s/t

oops wrong thread

hahaha i wasnt even joking about pearl jam

feel like as i get older the closer i get to ambushing myself with a pearl jam purchase

dude whatever pearl jam were great for a while there. i would be happy to own vs, vitalogy and no code. i talk shit on ten but that record isn't even all that bad

ive never heard no code tbqh

stop it you guys...

is pearl jam the band you dont like scott??

i never ever need to hear them. is that the same as not liking?

no code was my jam. And vitalogy. Fuck it! Game on!!

i don't blame you guys or anything. just an accident of birth. timing is everything.

i found the 2nd augie meyer solo record today... so stoked.

ian do you like that good old boys album that jerry garcia produced? i've never actually seen one until today. guess i should just listen to it. looks kinda cool.

you'd think i would have seen one before...

i don't think i know that record, scott..

http://www.deaddisc.com/disc/Pistol_Packin_Mama.htm

grateful dead bluegrass pickin'. dan healy engineered. i'll listen tomorrow.

hey i got my sealed stephen whynott album in the mail today via discogs! thanks for reminding me ian. one good turn deserves another. sounds awesome on my hi-fi. why both those records aren't big money is beyond me. but i'm not complaining.

yeah, those whynott records are nice. i need abetter copy of 'from philly to tablas' mine is a little scuffy..

i got a bunch of stuff today from this guy on long island. sam mcgee on arhoolie, some late/obscure j. corbitt record, forever more 'words on black plastic' (this kinda rules? is the other record good? it is much more common and looks /awful/ so i never listened to it.) uhh.. what else. clean blue cheer 'outside inside'

first one is okay. not essential. five bucks or less worth listening to.

i'll get it for a buck at some point.

Gong - You
Edgar Froese - Aqua

wish i had some mind altering substances other than half a bottle of terrible wine. i hate being an old man in this city

for my wife's 40th:

omd - english electric
the pastels - slow summits
jimmy scott - falling in love is wonderful reissue
paul simon - s/t

wives love it when you buy them records ime.

NOT

haha

tbh, i find buying gifts for helen very very very difficult.

i revealed the vinyl gift after the jewelry and before the spa gift certificate, it landed a bit better

:)

:(

vinyl is only a tough gift tbh because we share the same taste in a lot of things and sometimes a gift for her feels like a secret gift for me (which it is, sometimes.....)

More people enjoying the gift = success, not secret failure :)

I have scored nothing recently, but I did get an old Church record (Blurred Crusade) in perfect condition. That was nice.

i'm skipping work today because of 'exhaustion' (actual) but might rally and dig for my own vinyl today

The Ex & Brass Unbound - Enormous Door (as great as expected)
Captain Beefheart - Unconditionally Guaranteed ($2, why not)
Pharoah Sanders - Love Will Find A Way (uh oh, keyboards... haven't listened yet)
Don Cherry - Tibet
Six Organs Of Admittance - Shelter From The Ash

I've been buying lots of lounge records, private soft rock records and odd vanity records. I'm going to list them here soon, or maybe just take photos of them, some really beautiful covers.

mostly ones you like jacob? any real standouts for us soft-rock dilettantes?

I like all of them, some only have a few really great songs, but those few songs make the record for me. Then again I'm a big fan of Bread and Ambrosia. I'm recording a mix of soft rock/ blue eyed soul rock that I'm almost finished with.

Bread rules

i love bread and ambrosia. i'm probably more of a fan of prog ambrosia than pop ambrosia though. though i like their pop stuff fine.

a couple of cheapies:

sid selvidge - portrait
the shacklefords - until you've heard the shacklefords you ain't heard nothin' yet

Husker Du - New Day Rising
Third Ear Band - Live Raga 2LP (so excited to jam this tonight)

i got Best of Bread as a bar mitzvah present, January 1974.

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

still my fave bread song. i almost never listen to bread.

Sweet used vinyl, $20 total

nathan bowles - a bottle, a buckeye
william tyler - behold the spirit
ray price - night life

love that william tyler.

The Return of the Durutti Column (black textured issue, so happy to have this on LP)
Lindsey Buckingham - Law and Order

my wife conspired with the good dude pete to give me the gift of record digging on father's day. SO RAD of both of them. thanks, 69!

http://imageshack.us/a/img27/1172/p3mt.jpg

<3

totally sick. dig the zitro and is that the revolutionary ensemble?
lomax sacred harp & come all ye coal miners = classics.

had to wheel out the old "BEST RECORD EVER" to get him to buy the rev ensemble, but it was cheap.

i need to get another copy of vietnam now! and the psyche.. rev ensemble for life. headiest free jazz fiddlin

boards of canada - tomorrow's harvest
goat - world music
goat - dreambuilding / stonegoat 7"

i love bread and ambrosia. i'm probably more of a fan of prog ambrosia than pop ambrosia though. though i like their pop stuff fine.

YES!!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR_62HiZuXI

(i never would have guessed from their later radio hits that there ever was a "prog Ambrosia")

Wow I never knew they were a real prog band, my daughter and I loved that song.

I found this today for a dollar!!!
http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3673/9123571114_ed1c6c0e86_z.jpg

Holy crap!

Good shape?

The cover is VG++ and record has a few light scuffs and could use a good cleaning.

i traded a pile of assorted stuff i'd picked up and got some "new" releases --

v/a - imaginational anthem vol. 6 (have abt half of this on records or 78s already but i do love my some guitar pickin)
v/a - turn me loose: outsiders of old-time music (white country artists playing material outside the standard repetoir or with unique instrumentation etc. again, had a bit of this, but i can't get enough fiddlin.)
glenn jones - my garden state
blaze foley - cold cold world
lore connors - departing of a dream

glenn jones - my garden state
boards of canada - tomorrow's harvest

missed on the limited edition glenn jones w/the postcards unfortch

They are neat but it isn't a huge lose, honestly.

i didn't get the postcards either. that's life, i guess.

What do you think of the record, though?

i'm listening to it now for the first time; love it so far!

The recording is so rich. I love the track with the thunder storm and "Bergen County Farewell" is probably my favorite song of the year so far.

don't miss seeing him live if you get the chance.

gonna see him on he 4th of july!
saw him a year or two ago with p.g. six, great gig.

I was going to go to that show as well, but I had to take tickets for the Feelies show at Maxwell's the same night. Too significant of a show to miss, given I didn't have choice of nights any longer and it will be one of a few last-time-evers at the club.

Care Of The Cow - I Still Don't Know Your Style (so good)
Lula Cortes & Ze Ramalho - Paebiru 2LP (reissue)
Lee Ranaldo - From Here to Infinity

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge

got this today. really dig it. ian/jacob kinda thing.

that looks good! does he have a band or is it just him and his geetar?

mostly just him and guitar. but a couple of tracks have other people playing. andy pratt. robin batteau. recorded in 1971, but put out in 1974. really nice guitar sounds. and legitimately "stoner folk". very nice.

ah.. there's a japanese cd, so it must be good ;)

Robin Batteau is cool. I think I'd like that record,

buncha scores soon en route from DC/NC. cant wait!!!!

went to a guy's house around the corner to look at records and he had this and i really wanted it but he wouldn't sell it:

http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=130890774690

made me a little sad. such a cool record. he said if he ever decided to sell it he'd let me know.

i did get this from him which is pretty good:

http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=281060516811

both of those look great.. bet that dude has a load of sick jams!

I found decent records for 2 dollars each on the drive to Houston yesterday
Larry Jon Wilson - New Beginnings (Monument) Nice copy
Larry Jon Wilson - Loose Change (Monument)
Tommy Young - All The Time (Texas Domino) Rhodes Lounge record
Carol Hall - Beads and Feather (Elektra)
Wild Oats - S/T (Clouds)
Tornados - Telstar (London)

awwwwwwwwww i need that larry jon 'loose change' if you ever see a double. i love new beginnings.

loose change is ok... one sick jam iirc. sojourner is pretty rough as well. first 2 + the drag city lp are where it's at.

Excellent shape all:

Soft Machine -- Third ($10)
Moody Blues -- Days of Future Passed (Deram original--$7)
Intruders -- Save the Children ($5)
First Choice -- Armed and Extremely Dangerous ($5)

The Moody Blues is sort of silly, as I expect there won't be anything of interest beyond the two hits. But I've never owned it, and the original-pressing clinched it.

moody blues are great and underrated by hipsters of today imo

I like a few of the early '70s hits, love the Timothy Leary song, love "Tuesday Afternoon." I just meant that my sense of Days was always that it was a lot of orchestral bombast. (Passed on a $4 copy of the LP with "Go Now"...if it's still there next week, I'll relent.)

FYI: the two 70's Justin Hayward solo albums - Blue Jays and Songwriter - are great and should be beloved by hip people everywhere and you can get them for nothing at used record stores.

yeah, total dollar records. good shit.

Days of Future Passed is the first record I noticed my dad playing when I was a little kid, probably 4. I vividly remember laying on the floor and listening to night in white satin and being transported. I think Emotional Rescue was the next record my dad played that I used to ask him to play a lot.

"I'll Always Love My Mama" is really nice on that Intruders album.

my dad has a whole bunch of Moody Blues records, I used to vibe hard on the covers of In Search of the Lost Chord and Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. In Search of the Lost Chord has some jams, I kinda like Ride My See-Saw.

brb, gonna change my Facebook cover image to ELP's Tarkus.

Another good reason to own an original pressing of Days of Future Passed: the album's master tapes were damaged not long after and every reissue sold since 1978, even on vinyl, has been a remix with significant changes. Some of the original vocals and orchestral parts have been permanently lost.

oof yeah I guess it is 4 LPs so £53 is not a bad deal but that's too rich for my blood.

the price has actually gone down quite a bit since RSD, I couldn't afford it before but I got a work bonus and went for it.

ian, I think I do need another copy of that record, but I got mine from a seller called Tone Vendor, in Florida. shoot me an email if you get a chance to work that out.

huh, if it came thru tone vendor you might be better off writing to them? but i can probably get a copy for you. i have a personal copy which, lets be honest, i will never listen to.

but it's so good! anyway, yeah, if you happen upon a spare let me know. I think mine is OK, will listen soon.

found some good stuff at the ps321 flea market in park slope. this one guy has consistently had some good "exotica" type joints and interesting records in general. I got Jean-Jacques Perrey "Moog Indigo" off him a couple months ago.

les baxter - tamboo!
ray barretto - s/t (some kind of compilation, pretty great)
peter brown - do you wanna get funky with me

i am all about lounge/exotica stuff this summer. phase 4 organ records are my shit. and les baxter & martin denny.

i got a decent vg mono 13 floor elevators debut from my brother. forgot to mention that. sounds cool. some surface stuff but still glorious and majik and all that. i ain't never had one.

now that's a goodwill

daaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmn

I meant to write that I left behind a bunch of late 70's funky jazz and prog records. It was odd finding those records at that goodwill. they only had a few records out and I asked the lady if they happen to have more records and she left me look at these tubs of records some guy had brought in. Lots of soft machine, Hawkwind, Mountain. I almost bought everything, but I'm trying very hard to scale back my record buying. She said he told her he's going to bring more in this week so we'll see.

you should have bought it all. you can always trade hawkwind and soft machine records! great stuff though. my heart would have been fluttering.

i mean they are a dollar a piece right?

they were .79! I should go back, right?

yeah go back jacob! we'll all chip in to buy em all!

OMG 79 CENTS

oof, yes.

curbing your record buying only counts if you are paying top $$$$ for stuff and need to check yourself. friggin' thrift store bounty is another thing all together.

It's just that since coming to Oklahoma, I've bought around 150 records, maybe more I dunno, and add that to all of the baby related items, moving which will happen in a few months will be tricky.

now you sound more like a can DON'T kind of guy instead of a can DO kinda guy.

HA!

other than finally getting a decent copy of an elevators album my fave thing to get this year might be the parasites of the western world album. i'd never heard it. its even been reissued! on de stijjjjllll. so amazing. really my kinda thing. perfect copy with poster and insert and everything. also finally got a copy of the affinity album on paramount. i like that one a bunch. and i FINALLY found a record on Playboy Records that i LOVE. mostly i hate that label. Brownstone. never seen it. just fills me with joy. so amazing.

also got a copy of the one and only johnny hallyday album i needed!!! heavyyyyyyyyyy....

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/970282_10152399462427137_1040219681_n.jpg

playboy is the worst label of all-time. second is wooden nickel. like, in terms of sheer overwhelming percentage of absolute garbage, i don't think any other major labels of the 60s/70s come close.

Olivia, maybe. even Olivia had 3 or 4 solid feminist funk jams.

seriously, the brownstone album rules.

sealed copy with no bids:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/vtg-sealed-BROWNSTONE-LP-funk-blues-rock-playboy-records-1973-/350840497921?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item51afb92701

if anyone out there likes seriously wailing heavy funk rock with strong female vocals a la lynn carey, this album is for you.

but maybe nobody here needs that in their life.

but, five days left. maybe the budding deejay shadows and peanutbutterwolves are all over the brownstone album. i have no idea what it sells for.

Jacob I will pay you double your cost for those thrift records ;) I'll even pay you for shipping! I really need a copy of Space Ritual... Anyway, I bet you could sell them all to us ILV types, saving you the trouble of moving them.

Olivia, maybe. even Olivia had 3 or 4 solid feminist funk jams.

all on the linda tillery record iirc

no, there were some good jams other than that one. the baba yaga record. the bebe k'roche record. the mary watkins record. the linda tillery record. that's about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbX6boTCbYU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_L3_23luQc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vl7vqiNpro

gotta say -- the mary watkins i have (spiritsong, the 3rd one) and the bbkroche do NOT do it for me -- ill check out baba yaga next time i see it though!

Found a copy of the Little Sister 45 that I didn't have. The Sly Stone-produced group - they had two 45s. "You're the One" is the one I just got - I had the other one.

that has somebody's watching you, right?

There are some different versions. There's a "You're the One" single that has part two of the song on the flip. The other one I've got is "Somebody's Watching You"/"Stanga," which is really good.

i bought a bunch of stuff in rhode island. mostly to sell at the next flea market & rekkerd fair, with a few ebayable items.

keeping for myself --

robert pete williams et al - angola prisoner's blues
ramblin thomas - 1928 (collects most of his Paramount recordings, on Biograph, never actually seen this one before.)
dando shaft s/t
incredible string band - wee tam & the big huge (orig U.K. double LP issue)

Is there another record fair on the horizon? I've been kind of fizzled out on buying records lately... I guess that is fine because my budget has been going into fun weekend trips all summer.

I did happen to find Giant Sand - Long Stem Rant for $3 recently.

there's another brooklyn flea record fair in october, so i guess thate's still a ways away.

total score on giant sand!

Ya! It's a great record. I was stoked.

Jealous of you New Yorkers with this one... http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2013/08/08/record-sale-rodgers-and-hammerstein-archives-recorded-sound

gonna be a feeding frenzy, like cabbage patch kids and tickle me elmos on christmas eve.
since it's organized by label i'm assuming most ppl are gonna rush straight for Blue Note and Prestige, but hell, there are lots of great places to go..

I'm debating trying it out but yeah it's gonna be ridiculous. the first sale session is on my birthday!

happy birthday! your birthday is my wedding anniversary!

if u go on the first day, try and find me! i will be the guy looking in the old homestead & shanachie sections.

Oh shit can you browse Yazoo for me? There is no way I can get there on Thursday. Friday and Saturday probably aren't going to matter at all.

yazoo is gonna be one of my first stops tbh.

if u go on the first day, try and find me! i will be the guy looking in the old homestead & shanachie sections.

hah when I read your earlier message about "lots of great labels to look at" I thought "Homestead"

so yes if I go I would see you there and we can fight over things ;)

man, if that shit's arranged by labels i would go to the MISC label section first...

also, ian meant "old homestead" which is quite a different beast, entirely.

http://www.ibiblio.org/hillwilliam/BGdiscography/?v=bresults&format=&browseBy=band&filter_label=18

haha. yeah. i don't know if i need any regular on "new" homestead! just more poorly msatered bluegrass and oldtimey reissues.

any regular? any recordsss...

ahahaha my mistake

I am v curious what type of stuff they'll have

me too!

Really excited to see what you guys unearth. I'm sure going the two last days are going to be no different than browsing dollar bins at any old store.

I was finally able to go back to that Oklahoma goodwill but most of the records where gone. But I took a trip down to Denton Tx and stopped along the way at every junk shop, flea market and thrift store. Everything was a dollar or less!

SWEET

These are all from the same Goodwill over two trips, I'll try to stop back again to see what else they've put out:

Javier Vazquez Y Su Salsa - "Javier"
Justo Betancourt - s/t
Yolanda Del Rio - Se Me Olvido Otra Vez
Heleno - s/t
Los Hijos Del Ray con Fernandito Villalona
Sonora Ponceña‎ - Tiene Pimienta
Vicentico Valdes - Amor Y Felicidad
Tito Puente - Homenaje A Beny
Brown Express - Pilares de Cristal
Hugo Blanco Y Su Conjunto - Las Gaitas de Simón
Frederic Hand - Baroque And On The Street
Mach 1 (The United States Air Force Rock Group) - Down To Earth

Those look really great! I have the Mach 2 Air Force record, it's ok, sort of. Is 1 decent?

ehh, not that great really. I mean, if it was a free concert in a park somewhere I would probably be like "passable ABACAB cover" but not something anyone really needs to listen to

Yolanda Del Rio is awesome, Vicentico Valdes is great too, produced by noted swanky cat LeRoy Holmes

went to a local place cuz i heard the guy got good folk/bluegrass and picked up a bunch of Ian records cheap/wholesale. good deal all around. good folk/fiddle/blues/etc. my kinda deal.

awww maaannnnn i looooooove old music

i can't really buy too many recrds right now. gotta sell stuff..

its cool. my customers will dig them. already made tentative price list. gonna put them out tomorrow. plus, you already have most of them.

also got HIGH MOUNTAIN HOEDOWN record on atco for me. ruralpsychssw. never heard it.

everything so clean. just bag it and tag it. old store stock. from some old boston folkie store.

oh duuuuude. "picking berries" on the high mountain hoedown record is gonna be your JAM. i love that song.

there are a lot of good records in that list. i don't think i need any of them though!

see, i told you. just good store stuff. the other local-ish guy is happy. i'm happy. everyone is happy.

he had some nice celtic/cape breton records but i still have a bunch of that stuff and i wasn't really buying for ebay. just getting some cheap-ish nice stuff to throw into the store. the stuff i have listed for ebay i could just sell in the store but i figure it never hurts to see what i can get for bear family and private banjo records. that tom shaw record on blue goose goes for some cash. but i might just put it out in the store anyway. people are always dying for decent blues records around here.

we took a trip to beantown today - or cambridge anyway - to buy CDs from an awesome ilxor and i stopped in cheapo records. they have a lot of, uh, stuff...they definitely have HUNDREDS of dollar records that i own priced at 5 or 6 bucks. and they have this HUGE section in the back devoted to ancient bear family box sets! very strange. the prices are ancient too. the whole back room is filled with old sealed budget bin records. kinda cool. i got three henry cow records sealed. original pressings. 10 bucks each. they had more if you are ever in the area. seemed like a good deal to me. anyway, i didn't get out of there crushed by the weight of my purchases. but i found enough skot stuff to keep me happy. spent a hundred bucks total and 30 of that was henry cow action.

marti shannon - you were on my mind (rca victor - 1966) (couldn't resist the cover. so beautiful. the lettering, marti, her pose, everything.)

those x-cleavers - cult statis (permanent records - 1987) (wisconsin weirdos. i have this on tape.)

soft machine - alive & well - recorded in paris (harvest - 1978)

rabindra - all i see is you (takoma) (my pal doug decker engineering and working his buchla magic!)

paul jones - crucifix in a horseshoe (london) (was happy to get this for five bucks. vertigo copies sell for $$$ and i never see them anyway. needed it for my thomas jefferson kaye collection.)

mick greenwood - living game (decca) (five bucks. i own it, maybe i'll gift it to someone.)

country - s/t (clean records - 1971) (couldn't remember if i had this or not.)

keith christmas - brighter day (manticore - 1975)

country coalition - s/t (bluesway) (sealed copy for five bucks.)

johnny melfi - johnnymelfi's sun...sun...sun...album (pyramid - 1977)

thomas & richard frost - s/t (uni - 1972)

babe ruth - amar cabballero (harvest)

atlantis - get on board (vertigo - 1975)

dallas county - s/t (enterprise)

morganmasondowns - s/t (roulette) (another one i was really happy to get for five bucks. i never see this record. my kinda stuff. most of the stuff i got had obviously been in the store a LONG time. old price stickers on top of even older price stickers. its the final markdown. god only knows how long those henry cow records had been there. all that sealed stuff looked like it had lived back there for years. maybe they started out with 50 henry cows each.)

i mean they aren't really big on "condition" there but i'm sure i could have found more bargains if i had dug longer. they had big dance 12 inch and rap 12 inch sections but i hardly ever pay real world prices for 12 inches. tons of boxes of 45s under the counters that i wasn't gonna bother going through. if i had hours to kill maybe i would have. the new arrivals section didn't really have anything for me. some good funky/jazzy stuff but nothing i needed to spend 10 or 15 bucks on.

someone came in talking about the goodwill store and soul records and maria and the kids went there and maria said a record dude was buying up tons of stuff there so i guess i missed the real score action by a block today.

bert jansch - nicola
coon creek girls - early radio favorites
