from one time:
john coltrane -- sun ship
alimantado -- king's bread
sarcastic orgasm LP
pere ubu -- dub housing

sun ship is awesome

good day yesterday in the used bins, all of this was like 2-3 bucks each

Television - Little Johnny Jewel 7" on Ork w/white paper sleeve, guess this is a bit more common than I thought but still
Ultravox - Live Retro 7" EP (never heard of this)
Adverts - Safety In Numbers 7"
Impressons - Greatest Hits LP in mono
Grandmaster Flash - White Lines 12" promo
some Motown disco comp for a dollar
Camper Van Beethoven - Take The Skinheads Bowling EP

i only had an hour to spend at the sidewalk sale but i got rid of a few things, hung out with some cool folks, and got a couple trades.

from 69:
house of love - s/t

from jaxon:
loleatta holloway - love sensation

found on the street:
horace silver quintet - blowin the blues (og mono blue note)

69, what'd you think of that Sarcastic Orgasm LP?

only dropped the needle a little this weekend, but it's in my pile for the afternoon! sounds rad inna drunks w guns stylee

found on the street:
horace silver quintet - blowin the blues (og mono blue note)

Gotta get me to 'Merikay where the streets are paved with og mono Blue Notes!

(maybe only in the places where i dropped the needle so far?)

oops xp on the last post, but also yes dude what street was that record on????

in the mail:
ocora 3LP pygmies box
ocora danses et chants bamoun LP
francis bebey -- heavy ghetto LP
la vampires meets zola jesus 12"

horace silver LP was in a box of throwaway LPs in front of Rasputin in Berkeley. looks rough but played thru real nice for me. bringing it to the san diego record show this weekend.

nice!

since I'm not at home I get to record shop at a store that's not Skot's! (cuz in Western MA there's no reason to go anywheres else). traded in a bunch of college textbooks and misc for cheap LPs at Half-Price Books.

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Wings - Venus and Mars
Wings - London Town
Daryl Hall - Sacred Songs
Charlie Byrd - Delicately
Gary Numan - Teh Pleasure Principle
Leon Rusell - Carney
Kris Kristofferson - Me And Bobby McGee (re-ish of 'Kristofferson')
Gerry Rafferty - City to City
Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl
Lenny White presents The Adventures of Astral Pirates

will these ever make it back home? who cares, they're free to me to be. someday I'll need to hire the Vinyl Moving Co.

and anyone willing to vouch for Alan Parsons' or Mike Oldfield's 70s non-hits? they have 'em all and I have alot more books to get rid of

i like pretty much every alan parsons album. just love that production and the abundance of weirdness.

and you forgot mystery train in amherst! i always find cool stuff there.

Mike Oldfield "Ommadawn" is pretty cool

herb says alright.

didn't mean to slag the other great stores in the Happy Valley, but I'm a lazy sod. JDJr's right downtown and I'm assured to grab a too fat stack digging through just one of the dollar bins.

jesus christ, buy every Alan Parsons lp, that's a no-brainer...

I've had Sarcastic Orgasm on my Slsk wishlist for months! Never comes up.

i've had sarcastic orgasm in my store for months and nobody wants it. maybe i should play it again. can't even remember what it sounds like.

I think I read a review of it in MRR or something - 69's comparison to Drunks With Guns is probably why I stuck it on my wishlist.

wait but i only compared it to DwG a couple days ago!

I didn't phrase that very well! I meant to say, that since you compared it to DWG the review I read probably said something similar and that's why I put it on my wishlist. Pub lunch.

hahaha gotcha. it's worth hearing!

btw finally got a copy of robert ashley's PRIVATE PARTS! only $17 w shipping, too, thank you ebay bucks.

^^ ha, i grabbed that john foxx lp less than an hour ago! there was a john foxx 7" inside too!

i got duped into buying that record twice. there's a black cover and a white cover w/different images.

ebay/discogs/gemm:

Teenage Fanclub - Catholic Education LP
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque LP
Teenage Fanclub - The King LP

thriftstore:
Rod Stewart - Tonight's the Night LP
Rod Stewart - Blondes Have More Fun LP
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story LP

local store represses:
Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With the Arab Strap LP
Johnny Cash - American IV LP
Weezer - Weezer (Blue) LP
Radiohead - Creep 12"

always thought the black cover foxx album was really striking. don't think i've seen the other one. the whole package is really 80's sexy.

love that esquires 45!

it is great. I already had it, but this was a really clean copy and i had a credit to use up...

I dunno guys, I can't really get into The Garden. It IS a nice cover, though. Reminds me of a Peter Greenaway movie.

Me either, except for Europe After the Rain, which is one of my all-time faves. Metamatic is the go-to for me
