Rolling 2009 Vinyl Thead

DISARM

im sayin

Emerson's Old Timey Custard Suckin' Band

Dreamies 'Programs Nine & Ten' (reish; totally bonkers audio collage/pop-psych. two 25 minute long pieces.)

sam & viv: the country gospel tones 'gospel songs country style' (i listened to this expecting it to be really boring jeebus country, but it's good. a husband/wife duo who both sing; he fiddles, she picks. they're competent for sure, and the interplay is nice if not exactly "hot". I don't know what year it's form, but it seems pretty dang early. The sleeve references a regional hit they had in '51, and also a tour in '54. and it's Canadian!)

Mike Gangloff brought a grip of vinyl with him to the T/F festival this weekend. I bought
Charalambides Rose/Thorn
Pelt A Stone for Angus Maclise
Spiral Joy Band Pleasure is the Headlight
Jack Rose Dr Ragtime and his Pals
He had a Jack Rose/Black Twig Pickers collab 7" that one of the dudes with him said was the best thing out of all the stuff that he brought but it was priced at Ten dollars so I didn't buy it. I tried to buy it the next day but Mike had already left town with all the vinyl. Patrick Best and Mikkael Dimmik were playing two more sets for the festival and Pat told me that a 12" with better recording quality was in the works, anyway. All the Pelt/Spiral Joy Band sets I saw this weekend were great.

Got the Abner Jay LP on Mississippi. Glad to have this one without having to shell out for an orig. Nice job with the inserts too!

oh cool beans. it looks like there's a seven inch too; is that included?

someone was telling me stories about abner jay being rosetta tharpe's tour manager recently, i don't know if that's true or not

not included but we also have that in stock.

Fucked Up / Rolo Tomassi / The Bronx - Shred Yr Face tour 7" (respectively: Chain Gang cover, original, Gun Club cover)
Joke / 2000F & J Kamaata 12" (bit of talk about this on the dubstep thread fwiw)
Fucked Up - Year of The Rat 12"
Tight Bro's From Way Back When LP
V/A Taking A Chance On Chances LP (see upthread - sleevenotes give no clue to which band ILX superstar Raw Patrick was in :/ )
Lenny Bruce - Unexpurgated LP
Ed DMX - 2K3 Beats 12"
Starkey - Angel 12"
Iron Maiden - s/t LP
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin LP
Soft Cell - Non Stop Erotic Cabaret LP
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book LP
Brutal Knights - My Life My Fault 7"
Hygiene - Jan 09 7"

A whole bunch of VU/Eno/Cale/Reed records. 4 hours to go! I'm tempted to go for it even though I know I shouldn't.

oh dip....mmmmmm...i am glad/mad you showed me that!

fuck it.

how is that fucked up year of the rat??

I dunno if I'm super impressed on first couple of listens... it sort of reminds me of the other 12" they did in this series on this label, Year Of The Dog, in that it's a notably 'unpunk' slowburner with ponderous squally guitars... all good except I just don't think FU do those that well. Having said that it has a pretty good chorus and there's plenty of time to get on board with it y'know

Pebbles 3- the acid gallery
13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere

during my one day in Lima (Peru) I managed to find a whole mini-mall selling used vinyl. I have almost no space or weight left in our luggage, so I only bought two albums - one of quena (flute) songs that sounded pretty good, on Philips from the 60's or 70's. I checked out some of their rare Peruvian psych (under the counter of course) and talked records with the dudes, they were definitely aware of the collectors market. They had a Traffic Sound LP for $40 that was VG- at best, and also some Telegraph Ave LPs that I didn't price. For the other record I ended up going for a Chilean record by a band called Los Jaivas, called Alturas De Machu Picchu. I think some of the words are by Pablo Neruda, he is credited on the cover as well. Only heard a bit in the store but it was good-sounding piano-driven psych-prog stuff. And since the cover was trashed with stickers and ringwear, it was only 7 bucks. Then I went down the aisle a bit and got a bunch of CDR copies of rare stuff like El Polen.

man the internet really ruined finding great scores

Not in every case.

yeah but it's definitely harder now. ebay pricing is in effect everywhere it seems like.

You can still find crazy bargains if you look hard, true, but the awareness has definitely filtered down pretty far. In an early issue of Bixobal magazine (last year maybe?) one of the guys from Climax Golden Twins talks about going to India to look for 78s and all the store owner dudes were talking about how much the rare Indian-press 78s of Beatles tunes were worth on eBay.

semi-xpost

I've scored tons of great clean vinyl in library sales. Michael Hurley, Alice Coltrane, Daniel Johnston, Sun Ra, Revolutionary Ensemble, Art Ensemble of Chicago, and more, all for fifty cents a piece.

yeah garage sales can still be good.

either people think "oh god who the hell would want these old things?" or have seen some thing about the "vinyl" craze and think "Oh god dudes are going to pay top dollar for my beat up copy of Aja!"

hahaha so true

fucking records man.
also, i like the los jaivas LPs i have--i don't have that one though. their earlier stuff was a bit folkier.

i still find cool records for cheap. but i smell them out like old crusty digger bloodhound. found this album by The Load in a record store a couple weeks back in the dollar bin. PRIVATE PROGPSYCH MONSTER:

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20050327/4714204549.jpg

(cool record when it isn't all brandenburg concerto william tell overture on yer ass and even those moments have their charms. goes for a hundred/hundred fifty)

so, these people i know were kind enough to give me 400 or 500 records they wanted to get rid of in their basement and now i FINALLY own a copy of jorge ben's africa brasil! i'm so happy. i fell in love with "ponta de lanca africano (umbabarauma)", like, 20 years ago and i've NEVER seen a copy of the album. and it's a friggin' PRISTINE brasilian first pressing on Philips. the vinyl would make you weep it's so perfect. it sounds unbelievable too.

also got that cool Michigan Rocks comp from 1977 on seeds & stems records. mc5/stooges/bob seger/mitch ryder/frost/amboy dukes/third power/src/the rationals.

and a nice clean abc/impulse copy of jazz in silhouette by sun ra and a nice copy of revolution of the mind. um, but i'll probably sell those.

out of all the records i'll probably keep 10 or 12. the rest i'll sell.

New ones:

Niela Miller - Songs of Leaving (great.)
Sabir Mateen/Dave Nuss/Matt Heyner - untitled freak jazz LP (s@1)
Delmore Brothers - Sand Mountain Blues (2nd volume on County, this one is late-thirties to forties recordings.)
Georgia Tom - The Accompanist (includes plenty of Big Bill, Jane Lucas, Tampa Red etc.)

this weekend:

nice orig avengers comp LP
john fahey - america
john fahey - fare forward voyagers
the howlin wolf record (electric w pete cosey) (my copy originally owned by TOM DONAHUE :O )

Charles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus lp
Edan - Beauty and the Beat lp
The Who - Sell Out lp
Everly Brothers - Best of lp
Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind lp
Billy Childish & the Musicians of the British Empire - Loray Head/It Should Be Me 7"

got "Extrapolation" the first John McLaughlin solo album.

man so great, most "tradish" thing I've heard him on, but still very unique and creative, might like it better than Mahavishnu era

I got that bootish looking comp of early GG Allin stuff. Some really great tracks and surprisingly poppy and, uh, happy sounding. Especially on the track '1980's Rock and Roll'. He's like “Come on along it’s a rock and roll party / Bring all your friends and don’t be tardy!". He uses the word Tardy! No raping or butts or scum or anything. Well, not right off the bat. And Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson played with the band. I had no idea.

I also found a cheap but slightly popping Maui Album by Merrel Fankhauser and a stack of mystery Lebanese 7"s from the 1970s. Some cool bongo and strings instrumentals.

ohhhhhhh MAUI rules. "i saw yr photograph" is so so so so beautiful.

couple new things:
strokes - is this it YESYES YES
golden triangle 7-song 12" which im not sure is very different from the 6-song 12" i bought last week
v/a - ten years of black country religion (for ian)
nite jewel 12" on IDIB (for pretzel walrus)
mark sultan sub pop 7"
gaunt - kryptonite
peter walker - rainy day raga (pretty good price for a beautiful copy of a rad record)

just preordered the new YYYs LP which comes w/ a free 7" single

gaunt - kryptonite

^^such a great album and underappreciated band

Stuff I got recently:

product - style wars LP (the 1st album on Clay Records - Discharge, GBH etc)
milky wimpshake - one good use for my heart 7"
va - 4 track 4 track 7" (slampt)
dorotea - it's happening again 7"
betty & the werewolves - david cassidy 7"
betty & the werewolves - euston station 7"
school - all I wanna do 7"
more fiends - yo asphalt head LP
passmore sisters - first love, last rites LP
squeeze - packet of three 7" (1st single pre-A&M, bit punky!)

found good stuff cheap at some land-that-time-forgot brooklyn storefront on saturday

roxy music - manifesto
b52s - party mix
maurice - this is acid 12"
toto the one w/ "georgy porgy"
bohannon - the beat 12"
grass roots - 16 greatest hits
mc shan - the bridge 12" (not even that scratchy!)
some mantronix produced pop record on sleeping bag with a good dub version (not feeling the vocal)

^^^ all that for 20 bucks. which I really I woulda coughed up a 20 just for "the bridge" and "this is acid" so the rest wuz gravy.

does that this is acid 12" have the version w and w/o synths?

or yknow the MAIN synth line

got recently:

thee oh sees - help lp
eddie & ernie - turn here 7"
unwound - new plastic ideas lp

oh i cant wait to see thee oh sees on thursday and get that!

does that this is acid 12" have the version w and w/o synths?

yeah it has three versions and one is the well-known one (er at least, the one i knew. and the one I think you're talking abt)

the versions i know are from the trax box (w synths) and the soul jazz acid comp (w/o synths)

yeah this 12" is like, Trax version on side A and U.K. version plus "dream dub" on side B

eddie & ernie - turn here 7"

i saw that the other day and kinda remembered who they are; is the seven inch good?

i've only listened to it through twice but i like it. kinda upbeat/melancholy r&b from 1965 or so. i'm really pining more for the track on one of those dave godin soul comps called "I Believe She Will" but that single seems harder (read: more $$) to come by. absolutely love that song though.
