WFMU mini-record fair, just bought four yazoos from willie lane --

v/a: uptown blues
v/a: 10 years of black country religion
v/a: alabama jubilee
buddy boy hawkins & his buddies

I spent too much on vinyl in Philly yesterday to justify going to that :(

What is the Alabama Jubliee record? Googling it doesn't result in much.

oops that;s my bad, it is just "the blues of alabama."

"alabama jubilee" is a fiddle tune

A bit disappointed by the Soul and Jazz selections at the mini-WFMU, but still grabbed these:

The Counts - What's Up Front That Counts
Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction
Blue Note Best of Horace Silver
The Leon Thomas Album
Big John Hamilton - Finally Caught Up With Jody

First time I've come home from a record fair with budgeted cash in the pocket, though.

i didn't look at very many tables honestly, we got there just before three and only stayed til about 4:15 or so. my wife is learning to drive so we left while we still had daylight. after i bought the blues comps i just stopped myself.

where did those parentheses come from

yesterday I picked up Chris Darrow "Artist Proof" Mayo Thompson "Corky's Debt to His Father" (with a bonus 7", replacing my cd copy) and Running "Runnning."

artist proof is awezome

stuff i got in easthampton today. at platterpus and at an antique store that had two boxes of records with some cool clean 80's u.k. pressings. cheap too.

davy d. - davy's ride (def jam) (perfect promo copy! i don't even know if i've ever seen this on vinyl. maybe only on tape. anyway, it rules.)

weekend w/keith tippett - live at ronnie scotts (rough trade)

weekend - the view from her room/leaaves of spring 12 inch (rough trade)

konk - konk party EP (rough trade)

les menestriers - domino (disques du cavalier) (amaaaazing early 70's french ancient folk/renaissance stuff. unbelievable sound. in this copy was all kinds of stuff like a live program, ticket stubs, show handbill, etc. makes it even more special. just a beautiful record.)

the treacherous three - feel the heartbeat 12 inch (enjoy)

donald byrd/booker little - the third world (tcb)

http://prognotfrog.blogspot.com/2006/08/les-menestriers-domino-fra-1973-224.html

holy wow @ those Weekend records, I never see those.

I picked up that Weekend album too in a bargain bin last year - far superior to Stuart Moxham's post Young Marble Giants effort The Gist, whose LP I found in another bargain been a couple of weeks back..

i like bargain bins.

i got some 78s in the mail yesterday --
ira & eugene yates - powder & paint / sarah jane (columbia)
warren caplinger - my wife's gone to the country / gonna raise a ruckus tonight (champion)
allen brothers - old black crow in a hickory nut tree / no lowdown hanging around (bluebird)
ashley & abernathy - corrinna, corrinna / ashley & green - short life of trouble (perfect)
blind alfred reed - why do you bob your hair girls / always life him up and never knock him down (victor)

Hey guys I finally made time for records today! Found a shop in OKC and picked up
Dennis Lambert - Bags & Things (Dunhill)
Ned Doheny - Ned Doheny (Asylum)
Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Loose Salute (RCA)

I wonder if it was the same place I scored a few things of a similar ilk while in OKC? Can't remember the name...LOTS of records...baby raccoon in a cage...

Yep though raccoon isn't quite a baby anymore. I wanted to buy so many records there, but they weren't exactly priced to move, sort of above market price. Nice condition of almost everything in the store, so maybe it would've been worth it to buy that minty Easybeats for $75? Forgot what the place was called too.

His prices do kind of suck.

Hungaria - Rock and Roll Party
Checkfield - Distant Thunder
Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band - Calling All Beatniks!
Tiny Desk Unit - Naples
Kraftwerk - Exceller 8
Ironhorse - S/T
The Human League - Travelogue
Ohio Express - Mercy
Line Lovich - Flex

picked these up in wellington during a stay last week and blew my record buying budget in the first shop i walked into:

joe heaney - come all ye gallant irishmen (mid seventies recording in gaelic and english on philo)
elizabeth cotten - vol.3 when i'm gone (reissue, first cotten i've heard and now i really want to check out what she does with a banjo)
art ensemble of chicago - among the people (nice live recording from 1980)
motihar/sathe/thakur/schweizer/trepte/neumeier/schoof/wilen - jazz meets india (free jazz colliding with classical indian music from 1967, opened it up to find it's even signed by mani neumeier!)
alfred harth - this earth! (eighties ecm release with paul bley, maggie nichols, barre phillips and trilok gurtu, closer to the art song type stuff i've heard him doing with heiner goebbels than the more "out" just music lp)
welfare state/lol coxhill - s/t (after a first listen: awesome!)

and in other news, i had a look through the 20 or so records belonging to the person i was staying with and hidden among the uriah heap and steeleye span records was a copy of what seems to be the rarest of the rare vertigo releases by a very prog looking band called dr z which probably hasn't been played in upwards of thirty years and according to popsike can go for crazy money (and after listening to a track on youtube, it doesn't seem to be for its musical worth), so yeah thought it was a good idea to let her know what she has on her hands so it doesn't end up in a dumpster or similar

i got that lol/welfare state last week too!!!

That is the responsible thing to do, yes.

Some 30 years ago, someone I used to know used to 'melt' up some of the albums his flatmate owned (with his collusion), I said whoa what? and he was 'yeah, but they were all hippie crap, and JJ hated them too", into Flowerpots. I said "yeah, but they're probably worth a fortune, or will be!"

Now, I fully realise not every album on the Deram label circa 1971 is worth money. But.

bought punk stuff and put all the crappy stuff out in the store and kept all the good stuff. hahahaha! not entirely true. i put some good stuff out. the troo kult punk stuff will go on ebay. cuZ some of it is too specialized to sell here. just don't judge me too harshly with some of these. i've been a fan of pre-scary skrewdriver for years and always wanted these. hey, i don't own any burzum albums. wait, i do actually own a burzum album...

the oppressed - oi!oi! music! (oppressed) (one of my favorite records of the 80's and i already have it but you never know when you might need a backup...)

slaughter and the dogs - do it dog style (damaged goods) (nice white vinyl repress and i gave up on finding a u.k. decca copy for cheap...)

the infas - sound and fury (panache) (love infa riot and i swear i'm not kidding when i say parts of this album remind me of youth brigade's sound and fury album.)

the anti nowhere league - the perfect crime (gwr) (i might be the only person who actually likes post-yob punk goth pomp ANL. but i liked goth pomp damned records too.)

outcasts - blood and thunder (new rose)

blitz - new age 12 inch (future records)

the last resort - a way of life - skinhead anthems (captain oi!)

james t. pursey - revenge is not the password (turbo)

sham 69 - shams last stand (link) (so amazing...)

the mob - let the tribe increase (lazy dog) (awesome 2xlp comp. so great.)

anti-pasti - caution in the wind (rondelet) (i'd put this in the store, but nobody would buy it. so i'll take it home.)

cockney rejects - the wild ones (a.k.a.) (i may already own this...)

stosstrupp - wie lanf noch... (tough independent) (rock-o-rama repress i think? amazing early 80's stuff)

cotzbrocken - jeden das seine... (rock-o-rama) (original pressing from 1981. just so demented i have to keep it.)

v/a - united skins (boots & braces) ( i know i know but again pre-scary and the other stuff on here is amazing)

cockney rejects - lethal (roadracer) (love this album don't care what anyone says)

skrewdriver - all skrewed up (chiswick) (i know i know but don't blame the rest of the original line-up! that acoustic guitar intro! near mint original pressing! such a great album. what can i say?)

4skins - a few 4 skins more - volume 1 (link) (2 album set and i have both albums already and yes i really love 4skins)

the accursed - laughing at you... (wreck 'em) (from 1984. again, so demented. they were inspired.)

oi polloi - fuaim catha (skuld releases)

skrewdriver - back with a bang! 12 inch (boots & braces) (i know i know but this is one of the greatest sounding punk 12 inches ever made. also pre-scary. i mean, i still want the two chiswick 45s too...and then that's it for me and this band.)

the wall - daytripper (no future) (from 1982. nobody would buy this either. so i will give it a loving home.)

maddeningly, I will have to buy the Mob 2LP reissue at some point even though I have everything on it except the No Doves Fly Here 7", cuz it costs more than the reissued 2LP.

The Whatnauts - Introducing... (Stang)

I have been tracking this down forever. Found recently at a very reasonable price in pristine condition. So, so psyched. And the jackets worn on the album cover are most excellent.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K7OYHdaXL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

ooooh does yours have that sticker on it??

Midheaven update is burning up my inbox, just placed an order for
VA Assiyo Bellema 12"
Styrenes Essential Styrenes Vol 1 2x7"
Nothing People C'mon Girl 7"

x-post

Sticker, and some shrink intact. It's only February, but quite possibly my big score of 2013.

I swear there's only one guy left in Toronto who's worth a damn: a flea market shop that mostly sells CDs and DVDs, but in the past year has been keeping a couple of hundred records out. Everything's in excellent shape, and he prices stuff like it's 1980--not because he's clueless, he knows a lot about music, but stuff is priced to sell, not sit there. I got Springsteen's debut for $5 (I'm not even a casual fan--haven't bought a Springsteen record since Tunnel of Love) and Stephen Stills' second for $6 today. What was hard was leaving behind two things I already have: the New York Dolls second for $7 and Neil's On the Beach for $5, both with original inner sleeves.

Any of you guys like Happy the Man? Found a copy of their first album today for a dollar at the swap meet. Couple of pieces I like so far on Side One.

they had their moments.

Neil's On the Beach for $5

that's a super bargain. On the Beach was hard to find for a while before it had been reissued.

xpost

So the "sticker" is actually part of the cover art. I was worried that this might indicate bootleg/repress, but I checked an old Moments record and it too has the fake sticker. Must have been a Stang Records marketing decision for early 70s releases. So no bootleg, at least I hope that's the case. Far as discogs indicated there is only one (Japanese from 1985) and the run-out on mine matches the orginal.

Record collector nonsense aside, Introducing The Whatnauts is fantastic. I've listened to the B-side like ten times in a row.

I picked up the Wicker Man soundtrack on vinyl yesterday. Forgot how incredible it is through and through. High time I saw the film again too!

xp yeah yeah i actually dont know that whatnauts -- just assumed it was a sticker... glad you love it!

78s that came in the mail today --

clarence green - banks of the ohio / fond affection (columbia)
carolina buddies - the murder of the lawson family / cottage by the sea (columbia)
bill chitwood & bud landress - woah mule / hen cackle (brunswick)
henry whitter - chicken, go behind the barn / western country (okeh)
tom darby & jimmie tarlton - down in florida on a hog / birmingham town (columbia)

i started to sell some 78s online. after all these years. starting slowly. i've always been too paranoid about shipping them. but i get nice stuff and its kinda impossible to sell them where i am.

if you need packing advice let me know. or grading advice. or send me a list of your pre-1936 country records and i will buy them.

78s are fun. there is a record i reallyy want ending on ebay today but it is already at $50 in V condition. so idk.

^^ one of the best georgia fiddle records of all time imo

Also of course:

Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing (original Slumberland release)

^paid my friend $40 for this, which is super fair as far as I'm concerned. What's not fair was that he was the person that found it in a thrift shop bin for $3.

from Record Exchange in Frederick MD (pretty decent store in downtown Frederick, I didn't have much time to look around)

Masta Ace - Slaughtahouse

lindsey buckingham - law and order
10cc - bloody tourists
sigue sigue sputnik - love missile f1-11 (12")

as a sidebar to calling Record Exchange a pretty decent store I will note that this Record Store Day nonsense is totally outta hand. (I know this has been griped about on other threads but I can't help myself.) they had racks and racks of ridiculous shit like a new pressing (or maybe it's the first time on vinyl, whatever) of Billy Bragg and Wilco's Mermaid Avenue for $39.99. Black Friday RSD Special Price!!

The larger label stuff for RSD are always catering to a crowd that probably isn't very interested in vinyl at all and for such silly prices.
For example I'm expecting to see a Hootie & The Blowfish 180 gram reissue for $42.99 at this point.

I don't remember seeing anything even slightly interesting personally on the Black Friday list this year. To be be fair to the whole concept there are usually at least a few neat items.

oh so that's why I saw new copies of that lame album everywhere I went this weekend (xp)

in the mail:

Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra LP/7", Seligpreisung, Einsjager & Siebenjager
Edward Ka-Spel - The Patriot 7" EP

in Humboldt CA (Arcata/Eureka):

Athletico Spizz 80 - Hot Deserts 7", Central Pk 7" (I NEVER see these)
Patrik Fitzgerald - Backstreet Boys 7" EP (ditto)
Gate - Sunshine/Ives 7"
Paavoharju - 7" on Type (did not know this existed)
Robert Wyatt - Grass 7"
Weirdos - Action Design EP
Tragic Mulatto - Judo For The Blind (never see this band's recs either)
The Fall - I'm Frank 12" EP
Yoko Ono - Walking On Thin Ice re-edit 12"
Matthews Southern Comfort - 2nd LP
PJ Harvey - White Chalk (was holding out for a used copy, score)

local:

Michael Hurley - Land Of Lo-Fi
V/A - The Deep City Label on Numero

Colonel Poo, 45 Grave's Autopsy totally kicks ass, love it way more than Sleep In Safety (which I do still wish I had a copy of).

i kinda wanted one of the black friday RSD things this year --
michael hurley 78rpm covering E.C. Ball's "Early Bird Always Gets The Worm."

oh, i guess that cover is not on the 78... just on the new tribute comp.
still want the 78.

last time i checked, the store where moe works has a copy. ill grab it for you if so!

yup, we still got one at $19.98 (UGH) but i would imagine you should be able to find this locally.

as for the billy bragg and wilco:
a. it is a great record, you're crazy
b. yes, the price is insane but the lacquers were cut by the best in the business and the vinyl was pressed at a plant in germany that is supposed to be #1 in the world. with that in mind it's not actually as outrageously priced as some of the other stuff that came out friday (like the grateful dead acoustic set that i really want but is also $40+ for a double lp)

anyway fuck a RSD release. the only other things i wanted (townes and gene clark) were just limited color pressings and will come out on black vinyl (hopefully at a more reasonable price) so i'll hold off...

what were the guy & townes records? i'm so outta da record store loop. didn't even know the hurley was coming out til tompkins square posted abt it on facebook.

i traded a bunch of old cds to amoeba for that billy bragg/wilco reish, it was worth it. sounds great.

gene is white light demos. townes is unreleased studio and demos, early 70s. both on omnivore.

oh lol i misread gene clark for guy clark. jeeze.

fwiw I like the Wilco record and have had it on CD since it came out but I'm never gonna pay 40 bucks for something like that. "pressed at the world's top pressing plant" just doesn't mean anything to me ... maybe one day I'll be an audiophile like that but up to this point I'm just not.

really I guess my beef is somewhat with the price of new records in general, regular old double LPs are routinely 25 bucks now.

Hey Ian, there's an old warehouse here filled with junk and they have a crate of 78's, mostly still in sleeves. I almost just want the sleeves, labels like King, Coral, Vocalion, 4Star, and Columbia. Artist like Eddie Arnold and his Tennessee Plowboys, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Locklin, but there are a few odd ones, like artist with bagpipe accompaniment and whistling with string band. Some look unplayed, some are scuffed, and I don't know how much scuffing affects playback on 78's? They are a dollar each, are they worth buying? Or, would you want me to buy them for you? The guy said he would make a deal on the whole lot, probably $20?

@dmr. yeah, man, i'm right there with you re: not being an audiophile and not giving a shit about the plant but my point is that at least those wilco records legitimately cost more to manufacture than the other shit that's going for $30 single lps and $45 double lps or whatever.

i'd buy em all for $20. it's hard to tell w/o knowing the names of the artists, but lefty is great, early hank locklin can be good etc. scuffing is not a big deal on 78s tbh.

at least those wilco records legitimately cost more to manufacture than the other shit that's going for $30 single lps and $45 double lps or whatever

yeah I hear you. and I did not know about the particularities of the pressing so that was news to me.

I'll take photos of the labels with Tera's iphone next time I'm there.

Colonel Poo, 45 Grave's Autopsy totally kicks ass, love it way more than Sleep In Safety (which I do still wish I had a copy of).

Yep, I didn't know until I received the record that Pat Smear was on it, I've had mp3s of it for about 10 years, that's how long it's taken me to find a cheap copy of it.

went out record shopping with pete today! it was fun!
i feel strange guilt and compulsion with records now. I might have to give it up. I buy things I know full well I am never oging to listen to more than once or twice every ten years. I dunno.

v/a - they all played maple leaf rag (ragtime comp on Herwin.)
gary bartz - juju street songs
pharaoh sanders - oh lord, let me do no wrong (1987? cheap.)
david murray quartet - morning song
daniel lentz - point conception
waylon jennings - cold hearted woman
v/a - folk music in america volume 12: songs of local history and events
dunn & mccashen - mobius

a few days ago -
lloyd mcneill - elegia
v/a - yesterday, perhaps: songs of the kitchen cynics (p.g. six, tom rapp, alasdair roberts, sharron kraus, josephine foster..)

where did you two go? next-time-i'm-down-there-related... also, i've wrestled w/ this strange guilt/compulsion re: records for some 25 years now. can't seem to resolve it, yet...

I love the Kitchen Cynics cover of Tom Rapp's "Stardancer" so much.
I've got a few KC cd's, I think, but nothing has hit me quite the same as that one tune.

is that on the first rapp tribute? i remember there being some good stuff on there, need to pick that up sometime. the 2nd/3rd tribute double has some nice stuff too, especially like the galbraith cover of everybody's got pain.

Yep, Volume One of For the Dead In Space.
There are a couple of really great tunes on it, including the Tower Recordings "I Saw the World."

:)

Was looking through some dollar Latin albums at the swap meet today and there was this '60s organ record that I bought. Turns out that it's this guy:

wait WUT?!
where does one stumble across records like this?

for some reason I have no lime tangier pegged as a New Zealander, but he might be Northeastern US.

stumbled across them via a south korean ebayer for a very reasonable sum ;-)

only time i've actually found any shirley in a shop was a reissue of sweet england early last decade after reading about her in the mid-nineties in the electric muse: folk into folk rock book (which i heartily recommend). still remember the wtf is this look from the guy when i took it to the counter.

Ok that's a relief! Congrats on finding them! I found reissues of Folk Roots, New Routes and No Roses in Barcelona a few years ago and it was unspeakably exciting.
