having that $100 verizon rebate visa card was a blessing

spent 60 u.s. dollars today. some stuff i'll keep, some for ebay, some for the store. and so it goes. i only post on here when i buy as a citizen. i obviously don't type out lists of boxes of records that people bring to the store or that i go get at people's houses. this stuff i got at one store.

musica orbis - to the listeners (longdivity records) (ebay bait. private 70's folk/jazzy/prog with female vox and harp and all manner of instruments. interesting in a DIY kinda way. but also pretty goofy.)

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20070707/230150195823.jpg

rosalie sorrels - if i could be the rain (folk-legacy records) (needed this. i am a rosalie completist. i like finding them in stores. obviously i could just buy them all off ebay, but where's the fun in that?)

vaughan meader - the second coming... (kama sutra)

quilapayun - s/t (these guys made kinda boring south american protest folk, but this album has a cool trippy cover and gatefold, so i figured i'd take a chance for two bucks.)

wishbone ash - locked in (atlantic)

wishbone ash - wishbone four (mca)

johnny nash - let's get lost (abc)

the essential travis, shook and the club wow (just like real records) (you need this if you are an nrbq completist. since they are all over it. this is a good album. don't see it often even here in mass.)

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20050716/4748812989.jpg

masayoshi takanaka - rainbow goblins story live at budokan (amherst) (i always buy this for a dollar just cuz i like the cover so much.)

chris youlden - nowhere road (london) (really siked to find this! especially for 50 cents! never see it. u.k. copies go for good money.)

charlie king - somebody's story (rainbow snake) (local 70's folk. so much dollar 70's folk at this place. need every flying fish and fretless and rounder record? love that charlie's label is rainbow snake cuz satanic rockers coven's record label imprint was called sunshine snake. i debated getting a tattoo of coven's label logo. stylized snake and sun.)

jack hardy - the nameless one (first american)

greg perry - smokin' (another good find for a dollar. kinda scarce.)

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20100104/250558108320.jpg

eric mercury - love is taking over (enterprise) (sealed for a dollar! love eric. he needs his wax poetics day in the sun.)

helix - no rest for the wicked

geoff & maria muldaur - sweet potatoes (reprise) (minty vinyl for a buck!)

the sons of champlin - s/t (gold mine) (tiny/private label from 1975. i hate the sons of champlin, but what the heck for a dollar. maybe they got good by 1975.)

rage - nice 'n' dirty (carrere)

ace spectrum - low rent rendezvous (atlantic) (25 cents! clean copy! never see their stuff. ever.)

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20100103/350300445727.jpg

lu janis - or durvs (inphasion records)

brothers - rainbow rider (columbia/windfall)

sylvia - brand new funk '78 (vibration) (can't pass up a minty copy for a quarter. such a great album.)

helix - long way to heaven

ian cussick - danger in the air (a&m)

maxayn - mindful (capricorn) (another good dollar record! funky capricorn stuff.)

nikki giovanni - the way i feel (niktom)

jean michel jarre - oxygene (clean for a dollar. i've sold at least four copies of this since i opened. so, i keep it in stock.)

rick nelson - in concert

lee michaels - s/t (a&m)

off broadway - on (atlantic)

off broadway - quick turns (atlantic)

new york rock & roll ensemble - faithful friends... (atco)

brewer & shipley - welcoms to riddle bridge (capitol)

murray mclauchlan - day to day dust (true north)

hedge and donna - s/t (capitol) (not really a fan, but never heard this one. such a clean copy for a buck. same with that nyr&re album on atco. not my fave, but such a nice clean pressing.)

don harrison band - s/t (atlantic) (with stu cook and doug clifford)

gordon heath and lee payant - folksongs and footnotes sung played and spoken (abbaye) (out of all this stuff, this is what i paid the most for. 8 dollars. beautiful original french pressing. didn't figure that i'd see another copy anytime soon.)

gary and randy scruggs - all the way home (vanguard)

si kahn - new wood (june appal)

kim wallach - paddle on the rahway (black socks press)

mark levinson - jazz at long wharf (private press 70's jazz. pricey too. got mine for three bucks. haven't played it yet.)

http://www.dccblowout.com/zoom_img/LEV007_1104800914.JPG

frijid pink - s/t (parrot) (remember being really excited when i finally got a copy of this way back when. now i find one for five bucks or under every couple months? times change. used to be an expensive record!)

yo where'd you buy this? couldn't find it at Amoeba

got it at tweekin believe it or not (or TRS, as i think they want to be called these days). hadn't been there in forever, but they usually have a couple of newer 12"s that tend to fill in some of amoeba's gaps. the used house section there was pretty rewarding to look through actually, found a couple great singles like that simon harris thing

oooh, and i forgot to list this one...
mick karn - titles (love this record! how did i forget!?)

do you guys have time to listen to all this stuff? i'm at the point (and i think i buy a lot less than most of y'all) where i have a huge and growing pile of LPs on the floor that i keep meaning to listen to, but can't find the time. probably should go cold turkey on buying stuff for like six months or more. a few years really.

for financial reasons, i haven't bought anything in awhile. it feels good; i've got too many horizontal piles on the floor. it's making me listen to stuff i haven't touched in years.

"huge" might be an overstatement. i've got maybe 40 LPs in the queue.

Freddie Hubbard - Skydive
The Pentangle - Basket Of Light
The Pentangle - Solomon's Seal
Osibisa - Heads

it's true, having no money can force you to appreciate the bounty you already have.

having said that, having no money has rarely stopped me from buying records. cuz i'm sick like that.

^ i tend to just buy dollar records when i'm broke. that being said, i just got some extra spending $$ and have been going sorta bonkers lately. after this haul i think i'm cutting back hardcore...

I took my father-in-law with me to the record store. He loves music (and is a drummer) and still has a bunch of old records from back in the day, but he hadn't had a turntable in years. A bunch of us went in on a Rega P1 for him this past christmas and he'd gotten a kick out of playing his old records. But this was the first time he'd been in a new/used vinyl store in a long time and he was like a kid in a candy store. "Hey Bob, check this out -- I used to have this! $3, can you believe it?!! I gotta get this..."

^^^ heartwarming!

yeah, that's a nice story.

i've bought a lot of vinyl the past few weeks but i find it's too much trouble to bring it to where my computer is to type it up. :-(

maybe tomorrow.
