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

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..

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
carter family - gospel songs by (volume 3 of old homestead's border radio series)

dollar flea market records --
teena marie - it must be magic
herb alpert - rise

"rotation" on that herb record might be even better than the biggie sample.

lets see what did i get here...

Pigmeat Markham - Open The Door Richard
Gilbert O'Sullivan - Himself
Ralph Macdonald - Counterpoint
Kirsten Flagstad in Purcell's Dido And Aeneas with members of the Mermaid Theatre Company, London Geraint Jones, conductor
