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.

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.

eddie & ernie - turn here 7"
i saw that the other day and kinda remembered who they are; is the seven inch good?
― deveraux billings (schlump), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 18:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

i havent! ive been interested in more f bebey, too, but havent been sure which to go for...
― 69, Thursday, 26 March 2009 15:15 (fifteen years ago) link
will try to find out what the bebey record is. it was much in the same vein. i get a little lost with that kind of thing, like hearing vocal or chant records, where there are so many that you could dedicate forever to them, but the bebey ones are nice and spiky and warm sounding.
richard crandell's the first song on this; i don't really have a frame of reference for it beyond minimalist composers etc but it's really hypnotic. and it makes you want to go buy a mriba.
― deveraux billings (schlump), Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:08 (fifteen years ago) link
