caetano veloso -- s/t (w beard and furry coat)
crazy gang -- we are the crazy gang (simonetti)

hi pete ask for records by ALMENDRA, COLOR HUMANO, INVISIBLE, PESCADO RABIOSO..

also LOS GATOS... y los uhh.. Mockers? Are they Argentine?

Found a copy of Richard Thompson Starring as Henry the Human Fly at Shangri-La.
Been looking for a copy of that for like ten years. Pretty stoked.

Great record!

so far on this trip to Memphis

Spider Bags - Hey Delinquents 7"
Limes - Rhinestone River
Lost Sounds - Lost Sounds
The Mirrors - Something that would never do
REM - Murmur and Fables

and the Richard Thompson record.
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:

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.

Can - Soon Over Babaluma

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)
