I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2010)

Be sure to enjoy the sleevenotes on "Gag A Maggot".

ian, that is so perfect. im working from home today to set up my new computer, and also to avoid the monsoons in CA. ill jam the shadow ring after i finish listening to your shirley/dolly record LOL.

this morning for a buck a piece:

the originals - california sunset (nice 70's motown soul)

incredible string band - the big huge

src - milestones (wahoo! needed this record. cover is a little beat up, but the vinyl is nice. sounds amazing.)

george danzer & band - jetzt oder nie (completely bonkers german record from 1982. included inside is a full page letter from some german dude to an american girl explaining why he was giving her this record for christmas. he went and saw the movie ET for the second time in a week and it still could not make him cry! so german.)

grand funk railroad - on time (2 copies actually. they were both in great shape and i couldn't resist. plus, one of my fave records ever too.)

linda hopkins - s/t (funky early 70's soul record. very aretha.)

the tymes - the sound of the wonderful tymes (parkway doo wop)

don shirley - the gospel according to don shirley (jazz piano don doing gospel tunes)

ellen mcilwaine - everybody needs it (had this years ago and didn't play it much. jack bruce on bass.)

john dankworth & orchestra - the $1,000,000 collection (dankworth has some pricey records out there - mostly cuzza the breaks - this isn't one of them. still cool moody mod jazz stuff on this though.)

santana/mclaughlin - love devotion surrender

savage grace - s/t

murari - s/t (hippie commune album from 1979 and which sells for, like, nothing, but i couldn't remember if i'd heard it or not. probably heard it and forgot all about it.)

the cowsills - s/t (i've been getting into the cowsills lately. god help me. especially the later stuff.)

peter stampfel & the bottlecaps - s/t

eric anderson - a country dream

busoni - doktor faust (dgg boxed set)

pepsi 1970 (boxed set of pepsi jingles featuring bonnie dobson/johnny cash/loadstone/odetta/tammy wynette/bb king/patti austin/mongo santamaria/friends of distinction/three dog night)

pepsi 1971 (double album of pepsi jingles featuring johnny cash/ides of march/ronnie dyson/bb king/bj thomas/delanie and bonnie/roberta flack/tammy wynette.)

steven quarella - book of love (private press xian 70's folk. hey, you never know...)

nice grabs skot!

can someone advise me about later incredible string band records? i have 5000 spirits, hangman's beautiful daughter, and wee tam, and im always looking for a copy of the s/t. but i see a bunch of the others around, too. anyone wanna weigh in on rankings of big huge/liquid acrobat, U, changing horses, i looked up, etc etc etc?

i love U and hard rope & silken twine

wee tam/big huge, either seperately or together is essential. i dunno, i say buy any isb if you see it for a good price. changing horses was never a fave of mine, yet, i really like stuff on earthspan and liquid acrobat, and hard rope and silken twine. so, there is plenty of goodness in the later albums.

word. i saw like all of the albums (except s/t) at amoeba LA this past weekend, and i was tempted...

wau, SRC for a buck is great! so is the big huge!
and i think i need that ellen mcilwaine record. my jam on the murari record is "Adore, Adore Ye All." I have two Murari recs.

today:

carly simon - no secrets
carly simon - anticipation
connie acher - jelly
willie nelson - red headed stranger (used to have a beat up copy of this at one point, this one is nice & clean.)
mason proffit - wanted! (surprised there's no discush of these dudes on the country-rock threads.)
low - secret name (loved this CD when i was a youngster.)
desperate bicycles - singles LP
bill orcutt - a new way to pay old debts

what's this desperate bicycles comp? is it new? can u save me one if so? also, i love that bill orcutt. it was recorded six blocks from my apartment!

if you want a desp bicycles you need to e-mail ord✧✧✧@fusetronso✧✧✧.c✧✧ NOW. it's cheap & going fast. we don't have 'em at the store.

orders at fusetronsound dotcom

limit one per customer, $8. $10 minimum order though so maybe look @ the website quick.

got it after a fifteen email exchange w fusetron!

early favorites from holiday records (besides wishlist shit like godz 2 and scott walker):
ali farka toure -- s/t
robert ashley -- automatic writing
cecil taylor - conquistador!
marion brown -- sweet earth flying
the shadow ring -- lighthouse
the grateful dead -- wake of the flood

lighthouse, automatic writing & that ali farka toure records are all some of my faves.
glad yer enjoying conquistador! i like it, but i jut want to listen to smooooooth shit now.

tony joe white - black and white (stoked as i was just listening to the cd of this yesterday)
Ciccone Youth (w/o the cover and i'm not really even into SY anymore, but it was a buck so said fuck it. actually looking forward to listening to it now after reading about it)
Etron Fou Leloublan - Les Sillons de la Terre
paul hardcastle - rain forest 12"
and a bunch of dollar records. some new wave, some new age, some jazz.

mason proffit - wanted! (surprised there's no discush of these dudes on the country-rock threads.)

always wondered if they had other songs besides "Two Hangmen." that track was one of those weird "local favorites" that inexplicably always got played on classic rock radio when I was growin up (KSHE-95 St. Louis Missouri)

Etron Fou Leloublan - Les Sillons de la Terre

this is v v good iirc

Walter Carlos - Switched On Bach

Blade Runner FAKE ost - doh thought it was the vangelis one but i looked closer now and it looks like it's going to be like an orchestra redoing the vangelis stuff : (

Matt Llama - The Witch Channel - hairy scary improv/jazz/prog/psych/parts that sound like cluster, etc pretty ace...my store's been getting lots of weird limited edition hand screen printed shizz like this and i liked the artwork...pretty great actually

Bob Dylan - Infidels

Vermonster - Instinctively Inhuman - can't wait to listen to this...weird ass hand drawn black and white cover, 12 inch with only 2 songs - one is a 16+ minute version of Black Sally by Dennis Wilson, the other side is 20+ minute song called "Stoned Guitar".....from 1991, on a label called "Twisted Village" listed as a PO box in Windham, CT....vanity press I guess...

Twisted Village is the label run by Wayne & Kate of the band Major Stars! Also they're both in Vermonster. And they have a store in boston called Twisted Village, but they were orig based in CT.

kate grew up in danbury. she knew my brother before either one of them were, um, superstars.

or major stars even.

Blade Runner FAKE ost - doh thought it was the vangelis one but i looked closer now and it looks like it's going to be like an orchestra redoing the vangelis stuff : (

lol I made that same mistake. it's not very good

yeah it sucks, really gloppy bad pops orchestra type arrangements with some corny synths

of course head heritage has a blurb on vermonster, which has proven to be pretty brain melting! good score for $9

http://www.headheritage.com/unsung/review/1348

lol @ "I"m sure Thurston Moore has all their records."

He was in the shop yesterday, bought some expensive Harry Partch LPs and some other thang off the wall I can't remember now.

btw i bet ian and skot would like this matt llama record

is it matt llama? or matta llama? i do like what record of theirs i heard. roger adultery put one out a few years back! and then were was a newer one.

slowed down a bit, trying to take everything in, but thanks for the tip on the Desperate Bicycles LP. still available apparently.

some others...
new Nudge Squidfish LP on Columbus Discount
Son of Earth - Pet
Beast (Cotillion)
Crash Worship - ¡Pyru! - first thing I've heard by these dudes, who i presumed them to be more rewarding live than on record, but 'Pyru Sodium Di Hexaride Dub' is awesome

also bought some back issues of Flipside and Black to Comm

oops yes it is "matta" llama, my bad...

Spencer from Matta Llama is playing in a new band tonight with Dave Shuf0rd from NNCK and J1mmy from ps1chic 1llz; i think i will go cuz it's near my house.

i think i'm gonna send my girl to academy when she's in nyc for a business trip, see if she can score me some good shit.

Bros at Goner gave me a big stack of promo cd's for the radio station, too.
And I bought Andy Earles' new Husker Du book. Excited!

Did OK on a batch of '50s 45s that I got for $10, most of which I didn't know. Some good doo wop sides (Passions, Impalas, Innocents, Crests) and two Eddie Cochran records. Actually, one of the records I bought because it had Kenneth Gamble's name on it and it turned out to be a really good early soul single: "Who Do You Love"/"Oh So Soon" by the Sapphires.

I also got the Bobby Fuller Four's first lp.

found copies of the first three pescado rabioso LPs and an almendra or two at G@LLO C@NTARO, but the prices were a lil loco. i tried to get dude down to $50USD on the third pescado rabioso LP, but he wouldnt bite. more than that, and its silly for me to buy it here imo...

just got one lil thing today from a cool jazz record store in the same mini-mall as G@LLO C@NTARO:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2364/2224067600_607ec0ba9d.jpg

they offered at the jazz place to go buy me a coffee while i browsed, which was extremely nice. oh and PS, g@llo c@ntaro dude also fell asleep while i was in the store LOL.

Shawn Phillips - Second Contribution
Talking Heads - Remain in the Light
Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - Rock'n Roll With the Modern Lovers

cheating because I don't have this on vinyl (yet) but I think this Jim Sullivan reissue on Light in the Attic is right up ILV's alley. title track is killing me lately. cosmic folk/psych with orchestra backing from David Axelrod's session musician crew.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI-ouo76Bq8

Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido
Hawkwind - Hall Of The Mountain Grill
F/I - Why Not Now? … Alan!
Can - Soon Over Babaluma
The Sound - From The Lions Mouth
Gong - You
New Order - Blue Monday 12"

went a little nuts at the record show. its safe to say that i won the volume buying prize. but everyone has a singular purpose in life, right? i sold too though and i did come out ahead. had a great time too. kid, candy store, etc. talked to everyone. or it seemed like i did. everyone in good spirits. got:

genuine john - s/t

neu! '75 (sealed reissue)

mantronix - in full effect (buying back records i stupidly got rid of years ago is a full time job)

artful dodger - honor among thieves (perfect promo copy)

strongbow - s/t (excited to get this)

wildweeds - s/t (also a nice promo copy)

gary moore band - grinding stone (minty u.k. copy)

the crome syrcus - love cycle

revolutionary blues band - s/t (this is pretty bad, but it was cheap)

ross - the pit & the pendulum (when your want list includes this album you are on to something. or you are me.)

the east side kids - the tiger and the lamb (again, not great, but cheap. a copy should come in psych collector starter kits.)

jerry garcia - reflections ( beautiful unplayed german pressing! soooooo pretty. i got this late in the day too for ten bucks. can't believe nobody else picked it up.)

mantronix - needle to the groove 12 inch

urszula dudziak - newborn light

dmz - s/t

flamin groovies - flamingo

the only ones - special view

machiavel - mechanical moonbeams

fastbuck - s/t

little village - s/t (this was a serious find for me. and i'm probably the only person who would have bought it, so, its a good thing i found it)

michael urbaniak/urszula dudziak - heritage

archie shepp - poem for malcom

julius brockington - the united chair

dave burrell - echo

brute force - s/t

wilkinson tri-cycle reissue

mike batt - zero zero

ray and his court - s/t (scorpio-esque boot/reissue)

fuzzy haskins - radio active

doctors of madness 2 album set

marseille - s/t

swans - holy money (again with the buying back of old stuff thing)

murphy's law - s/t (ditto. i've always enjoyed this album a great deal.)

disciple - come and see us as we are!

bronco - country home

van der graaf - the quiet zone/the pleasure dome

kannibal komix - s/t (now i don't need to steal herb alpert's copy)

bullangus - s/t (clean promo copy! )

the winkies - s/t

hanson - now hear this

nova - blink

katahdin - hardcore rock n' rolla

bang - s/t ( i think this was the most i paid for a record at the show. probably ended up costing me 35 bucks. but its a decent copy and i need a decent copy. sadly, its STILL not the copy i want to be buried with. but i'm always looking.)

sunny murray - sunshine

gilgamesh - another fine tune you've got me into

and i really spread the love/money around. i bought records from andy, josh, the old psych guy, the main street people, gio, mark z, that other guy whose name i can't remember, ian, malcom, and chris c.

the old psych guy kills me. his prices are sometimes appropriate and sometimes too high, but he's got the goods. my pal conrad got the deal of the day though. 15 bucks for the first kingdom come album. i cried a little. conrad was very happy to buy a candlemass record from me. sometimes its the little things in life...

a case of too high would be, like, 90 bucks apiece for magna carta records i need. but he's a jovial guy. i got no problem with people testing the limits of the marketplace.

after years of being sniped, i finally got a reasonably priced copy of Ben Sidran's "Feel Your Groove" and listening to it now again, I'm kinda under enthused :-/

i can't sell the one i have. why didn't i just give you mine? i'm sorry.

chrome dinette - robot love 12" (haha, i thought this was a chrome 12" called 'dinette'. at least it's decent new wave and was cheap)
Betty Wright - I Love The Way You Love
soft cell - tainted love (with 9min dub)

Lee Hazlewood - Trouble Maker / Greyhound Bus Depot 7"
Group Inerane - Guitars from Agadez Vol 3. lp
Women - s/t lp
Women - Public Strain lp
