i got a good score on my b-day. a friend of mine works for a record company and secured a bunch of vinyl reissues for me:
goodbye yellow brick road - elton johngaucho - steely danalive - kisssecond helping - lynyrd skynyrdmusic of my mind - stevie wondersynchronicity - the policethe marshall mathers lp - eminemburnin' - the wailers
not all of them are my thing, but they're pretty dope nonetheless so i'll listen to all of them.

went to visit my wife's sis and husband in lawrence kansas...found a nice little shop called Keif's downtown...had a pretty nice vinyl selection, but YOWSA ebay has really killed the whole "finding totally underpriced records in a smaller city thing"...had some nice stuff but it was way more than i could get it for in Mpls...thankfully Kansas hasn't gotten the message that Dio is totally hip so Rainbow Rising was in the low priced section...
but they had some great new vinyl sale priced clearance stuff....got a 180g Get Back pressing of Eric Dolphy/Herbie Hancock at the Gaslight 1962...a 2LP reggae comp on Earmark called "Am I Black Enough For You" all old skool reggae greats, for only $15...and a Harlan T Bobo record on Goner new for only 4.99!

the culture record was priced at 4.99 AS IS, my buddy gave it to me for a buck, cause it was dirty. i cleaned it at home, and it sounds awesome. cross a $25 record off my perpetual ebay watchlist!

I scored an original Peter Grudzien "The Unicorn" LP. There's a small deformity on the edge but it does not extend into the grooves, and it plays great. Not cheap, but it's the best excuse I can think of to unload a bunch of rare, and rarely played, records.I am a happy camper.
― ian, Friday, 5 December 2008 20:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Nice one. I haven't bought anything in weeks and probably won't for awhile, either. :(

johnny "guitar" watson - a real mother for ya
are any of his lps good? i love things like that larry williams single he made, but everything else i've heard is just some insane bootsy-esque gold coloured insanity. they all have great titles too (see above).
― schlump, Friday, 5 December 2008 21:25 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah it's pretty nuts, there's a track on there called 'your love is my love' which sounds like some daft punk, funk, soul hybrid complete with vocoder.
― omar little, Friday, 5 December 2008 21:29 (fifteen years ago) link
if you like that sort of thing, it's good
I haven't bought anything in weeks and probably won't for awhile, either. :(
I'm in Peru and barring some unlikely flea market score I won´t be buying anything until late March. Still keeping up on this thread, partly because of masochism I think.
― sleeve, Friday, 5 December 2008 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
dude, i hope you brought a portable turntable. spend all your free time in flea markets and shit looking for peruvian surf singles!

i think the new astral weeks reissue is out, gotta go get that.
btw....this is a long shot, but does anyone on here have a copy of "Mush" by Leatherface they would be willing to part with, sale or trade?

Just placed an order at S-S for Los Llamarada "Take the Sky"A Fames "s/t" "2" and "Police 1000"Hue Blanc’s Joyless Ones "Arriere Garde"Der Teenage Panzerkorps "Games for Slaves"All the A Frames stuff is for my girlfriend for Christmas.The S/T and 2 are on cd. Scott S. said that A Frames vinyl is still in print and I could find it if I looked around but they are a hard band to google. Guess I'll check the distros.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 8 December 2008 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link
If the A Frames vinyls are available, I'd imagine that they're from the French pressings Born Bad did a year or so ago. Might help with the search criteria. Recent (last couple months, all new stuff):
Indian Jewelry -- Free GoldEddy Current Suppression Ring -- Primary ColorsMuslims -- debut LPSkull Defekts -- The Drone DrugOneida -- Each One Teach One (used & v. cheap!)Nachtmystium -- AssassinsLove Tan -- Misc. Night Feelings (awesome)Sex Vid -- Communal LivingOh Sees -- Peanut Butter Oven EPOh Sees/Intelligence -- Mt.

i scored this seemingly unknown prestige folk album from 1964 by hamper macbee called "cumberland moonshiner", about which there is very little information available. $1! really excellent.
― omar little, Monday, 8 December 2008 21:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Oneida -- Each One Teach One (used & v. cheap!)Very nice. One of the best records of the last ten years. It makes so much more sense in the double lp format than the double cd. The band I used to play in is playing the Oneida fest that is happening this weekend at the Knitting Factory. Meanwhile, I'll be taking the GRE.Life is funny.

A Fames "s/t" "2" and "Police 1000"^^they still have these on vinyl??? how much?
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 8 December 2008 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link
The Police 1000 is a seven inch and it was four bucks. S/T and 2 are on cd, I mentioned that in my post, but they were only five bucks. As I said, present for my girlfriend who grew up in Seattle. I just searched for A Frames + Born Bad, as suggested by Contenderizer up there, but I only found the LP's at one place listed for 18 euros, eff that.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 8 December 2008 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
We MIGHT still have those Born Bad represses in stock at the store. I think they're pretty pricey ($20 maybe?) but the shipping would be less. I'll get back to you guys if we have any of 'em.
― ian, Monday, 8 December 2008 22:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, awesome, I would totally buy them.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 8 December 2008 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh, and weird-ass, SUPER-crepey French doom/prog/artmusik album called Les Morts Vent Vite by Shub-Niggurath. A bunch of French weirdos circa '86, apparently. Bought it 'cuz it was cheap and I'd never seen it, and 'cuz the cover art is AMAZING (glowy-headed skeleton knight on wild-eyed black stallion abducting willowy virgine by moonlight). Music is kinda amazing, too: harsh, dense, ultra-abstract prog with sheetmetal noize guitar and absolutely elephantine bass morass. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes doomy, sometimes carnival crazy. One of the scariest records of its kind I've ever heard. Univers Zero territory, but out-hysteries Hysterie. On the other hand, marred by operatic, nonsensical (Zeuhl-style) female vocals, and a bit too hilariously HIGH-ART overall to take seriously.
Kinda loved it, but sold it almost instantly cuz it turns out ppl will pay a LOT for it.

...Vent VONT Vite...
got Bohannon " south african man' lp for $4 yesterday at a book shop. Don't really know much about the dude...but a song called 'Rap on Dj' from 74 peaked my interest. pretty hyped to get my stereo working now after searching and reading about him here

Les Morts Vent Vite by Shub-Niggurath
pretty amazing record. for me it beats out univers zero by a mile, and most of the post-magma zeuhl-y stuff too. mutant-sounds posted a pretty crazy LP a while back that was four other projects by the members of s-n.

JT IV - cosmic lightning (FUCKING AWESOME)
isn't it? anyone know where i can actually purchase a fucking copy? "out of print at label," my local only got one copy for a guy who works there, blah blah blah. pretty lame when it's easier to download something than buy it a week after it comes out.

imho the JT IV record has a couple jams but is largely forgettable, and the VU cover is downright awful.

i never saw it here at the store and they usually get drag city stuff.
got the bachs reissue on void today. used to have the vinyl reissue that came out a zillion years ago, but i must have sold it. got two albums of rare 20's red nichols and miff mole sides. they rule. and i bought a used copy of the first trans am album. cuz i like trans am. and i no longer have the cd.
why oh why do i keep staring at that fancy deluxe copy of the last earth album? i'm such a sucker. so pretty though...
(i haven't even heard the album either. i'm gonna help out at the store on friday. i might have to get it...)

So it seems the pound has finally gone so far beyond shite that it's becoming nearly impossible to buy any US vinyl. I've bought two or three thing in the past few weeks, thinking 99 cents is cheap for an album, but then the shipping just kills any notion of a steal. And new stuff? Forget it! It's just so frustrating that so much stuff is typically only offered by US sellers.
Ho hum.
