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

picked up the running scared ost and agnetha faltskog's 'wrap your arms around me' at the divisadero antiques store where they moved open mind music's stock when it shut down. some good ecm albums there too, but when you're used to seeing that stuff for $1 or less it's hard to justify paying what they were asking

you didnt see jpriester's LOVE LOVE right? if anyone sees that for $15, just get it and ill hit you back

since the last installment:
michael hurley - hi fi snock uptown
dick burnett & leonard rutherford - a ramblin' reckless hobo
je mainer's mountaineers - je mainer's crazy mountaineers vol.1
va - 37th old time fiddle convention at union grove, north carolina
frank wakefield with country cooking - s/t
julie tippetts - sunset glow
dagmar krause, ronald heiloo, harold schellinx - commuters
lindsay cooper - rags
mike & sally oldfield - the sally angie
va - john peel's archive things
shirley collins & the albion country band - no roses
the watersons - frost & fire
martin carthy - s/t
martin carthy & dave swarbrick - prince heathen
ashley hutchings, john kirkpatrick, etc - morris on
richard youngs & matthew bower - site/realm
matt mv valentine - glorious group therapy
spacemen 3 - performance/hypnotized
a handful of dust - from a soundtrack to the anabase of st-john perse
dead c - perform max harris (and waiting on clyma est mort/tentative power)

how's that matt valentine? haven't been keeping up with him lately

and no, i didn't see any julian priester. if they had it i'd guess it'd be for more than $15, but who knows (not the most reasonably priced place in the world)

glorious group therapy is actually a pretty old one, and has a lot of solo/overdubbed string pickin stuff; it's one of my favorites of his.

also, i am jealous of that burnett & rutherford lp! always looking for their material, just have some stuff on comps but no devoted set iirc. well, i think there's a chunk of stuff on my laptop but what good does that do anyone?

got some 78s in the mail today--two alfred karnes, 1 gamelan 78.

also, no lime, be wary of the clyma/tentative power reish--the tentative power stuff seems to play at the wrong speed! it's listed at 45, but doesn't sound the way the singles sound at either speed. need to pitch it down a bit at 45rpm for it to sound 'regular' to my ears. i don't know if this problem is being corrected or if i'm the only one who noticed or what.

j.e. mainer's crazy mountaineers vol. 1
tetuzi akiyama - don't forget to boogie
bill monroe - meet me in church on sunday
kris kristofferson demos collection

dealer brought me boxes of records to look thru today and i ended up taking about 130 albums from him for trade. some good, some bad, and some just plain weird. my kinda stuff. this is the stuff i'll probably keep. though i don't really NEED most of it.

adam faith - s/t (1974 bummer)

topaz - s/t (glammy hard rocker)

miguel rios - a song of joy (originally on hispavox, this is an a&m copy. keeping it for the production alone which is seriously PHAT.)

silver creek - s/t (1975. friends of merle haggard. PROG bluegrass. for real. at least on some tracks. love it. i thought red rhodes made my fave bluegrass hybrid album, but this one is right up there.)

carillo - rings around the moon (stormy, you would dig this, i think!)

tilt - music (70's detroit hard rock)

dr. buzzard's savannah band - calling all beatniks! (sealed, which is nice for buzzard fiends. like me.)

http://www.snickarsrecords.com/rec_pictures/016793.jpg

modern romance - adventures in clubland (so happy to have this! in my opinion, its the greatest new wave disco album of the 80's. i think its a masterpiece. the perfect blend of blubblegum funk, disco, pop, salsa, rap, and electro. there isn't one post-80's 80's retro act that could touch this album. or even just one SONG on this album.)

this one:

http://lineout.thestranger.com/files/2008/09/machine-Grace_Of_God.jpg

disco stuff i got at a store in vermont. they had bought a dj collection. i left a lot of stuff cuz i had spent my money for the day. they had every lime album. i would kinda like to own every lime album, but i had to stop. everything was nice and clean. not all beat up like some ancient dj collections.

I LOVE that Dorothy Carter LP, Scott!

just got back from NY. didn't really get a chance to go record shopping. bought a few from a friend and a few at academy bk (unfortunately ian wasn't working but the dudes there were nice enough to knock a bit off for a friend's discount).

Görl - Night Full of Tension (amazing funky new wave from one of dudes in DAF. annie lennox on vocals on one track)

Fingers Inc - It's Over 12"
Yukihiro Takahashi - Neuromantic (he of sadistic mika band/ yellow magic orchestra. apparently the title for w.gibson's Neuromancer was based off this)
Wide Boy Awake - Slang Teacher (some bootleg 12" with when in rome "the promise" on bside. ha. some asshole on discogs is selling this boot for 200 euro)
Propaganda - P-Machinery/Frozen Faces 12"
Heatwave - Central Heating
the Sparks - Beat the Clock picture disc 12"

scott. i don't have that Machine LP. i have the 12" for "There But For The Grace Of God Go I". i never play it out though because the intro is only like 1 bar long. not long enough to mix in. i had the LP and the 12" in my hands one time and an employee told me the rest of the album wasn't good, so i passed.

that employee was wrong!

also, if you don't have that particular nightlife unlimited album, you need it.

wow good score on the Anaconda/Phantom 7", been looking for that for a loooong time (xxxp)

o bummer. both me and a friend picked up a copy. they were both like 7$

that machine 12" IS great.

i'd probably like that nightlife unlimited album also.

oooh and also super jealous of this:

Fingers Inc - It's Over 12"
