This one's pretty diverse. Some compositions are clacky. One has has this sort of walking bassline that's not really a jazz walking bassline, but it has all this great forward-moving energy. I listened to it a few days ago, so my impression's not real fresh.

i'll take a punt if they're cheap.

the descriptions make me laugh. and library stuff makes for good mixtape bookends.

Picked up a bunch of about 40 yesterday -mostly KPMs...none of the really valuable ones (Big Beat, Afro Rock) but i got the Delia Derbyshire one and the Ron Geesin one and loads more Keith Mansfield than I'll ever need. hard to work out how to listen to them though.

these just don't turn up in SF. in melbourne found a great beatdiggery store with like 10 crates full. found a few in NY. and every store in london had a section devoted to them.

i thought this would be about discarded records from public libraries.
