Not difficult to find it seems, just pricey...
http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=4390724&ev=rb

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.

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.

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!
