2013 scores

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!

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.

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
