Library Records (a slow moving thread)

Just for as I find them in my collection.

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.

has has

library records might be the final frontier dood.

^^ tons of these have come through, most of them are most awful tbh

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

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

but yeah, some people out there be doing a lot of dirty work to find the good stuff

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.

mix tapes.
scores to imaginary films imo

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.

these are some of the ones i have that i really dig.

this one's so great. (originally a library record, reissued on klaus schulze's IC records)

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

lots of cool stuff here

friend of mine scored a huge stack of morricone library records a few weeks back!

and by huge stack i mean like.. five records, but that's a lot of morricone library records 2 find all at once!
