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

ferris bueller's day off at the theater, appropriately enough

perfect day material there

hi, too much shit acquired since march to even begin to remember but my favorite scores were 'crystal gazing luck amazing' by the compulsive gamblers in portland for $4 and shirley collins' 'adieu to old england' for $1 at a yard sale.

More EBM/Industrial for $18

Force Dimension - Algorythm
Vomito Negro - Human
Dominion - Lost
Cat Rapes Dog - The Banzai Beats
Pearls For Swains - The Real Rip-Off
Cat Rapes Dog - Maximum Overdrive
Cat Rapes Dog - God, Guns & Gasoline

<3 the force dimension record i have. looks like the rest is good stuff too

those are great scores, omar little! i paid $20 for that Shirley Record and it's a really good one imo.

just got the "Bob" Darin LP "Commitment" and the first volume of the George Mitchell collection on Arhoolie and a copy of Willie Nelson's "Stardust" with promo photo & press kit.

Fred Neil - Everybody's Talkin'
Martin Denny - Primitiva. Exotic Sounds of...
Rupert Hine - The Wildest Wish To Fly
Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel
Kyze - Stomp: Move Jump Jack Your Body 12"
Modern Rocketry - s/t

how are you feeling the denny, man? i've had a mild interest & certainly an appreciation for exotica for a while, but it might be the season to really dig in... getting drunk on juice & vodka, baking in the sun.

visited amoeba berkeley today...

v/a - martin (comp of martin hannett-produced tracks including joy division, buzzcocks, a certain ratio, omd, etc)
v/a - gotta have house: the best of house music vol 2
v/a - up-front 1 (14 dance trax and bonus album of hip hop megamixes!)

12"s:
model 500 - night drive (through babylon)
justus kohnke - don't go
lindstrom - feedelity remixed vol 1 (with mungolian jetset remix)
mark e - merc 001
midnight magic - beam me up
shit robot - i got a feeling

man, that denny album was amazing. i've got very little exotica, although i totally appreciate it. i was thinking to myself today that this too would be my season to dig in. and it was only a buck (pretty much everything i bought today besides the fred neil was a buck or less)

most exotica is super cheap ime. and super awesome

there's a ton of good martin denny records

please don't start another lounge revolution. i'm still getting over the last one.

just got some good stuff at a stoop sale

george mcrae - rock your baby
ben sidran - don't let go
cabaret voltaire - here to go 12"
tom tom club - man with the 4-way hips 12"
temptations - 1990

xpost - I never went much deeper than denny, les baxter and esquivel

LOVE rock yer baby. LP or 12"? LP has at v least three ultimate bangers--the title track, you can have it all, and i get lifted. <3

LP. Crappy sleeve but clean record. I Get Lifted is so classic, I've had MP3s of the album for a few months and been on the hunt for the vinyl

I just traded in a copy of the George McCrae lp tonite at Reckless (had two copies.) My fave the LP (other than the title cut, which has long been like top 5 songs all-time for me) has always been "Make It Right". It has that same 'droney organ and simple-but-splendid chord changes' vibe as the title cut. sold about 10 other albums, got the following in trade:

Dif Juz - Out of the Trees
Bee Gees - Main Course
Otis Spann - Crying Time (on Vanguard w/ Barry Melton on gtr!!)
Stomu Yamash'ta - Go Live in Paris
Wham! - s/t (70s band on GRT ... "good" condition for a buck)
Gap Band III (50 cents)
Technotronic - Pump Up the Jam 12" (50 cents)
Heatwave - (50 cents)

other shit from last couple weeks-

Jim Shepard - V3 Next Album
Velvet Underground - Hilltop Pop Festival
Richard Youngs - Advent
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna ($2)
Chris Hillman - Slippin Away ($1)
Sandy Nelson - Drumming Up a Storm ($1, "good" condition)
Santana - Festival ($2)
Stomu Yamash'ta - East Wind
Godley and Creme - L
Michael Hurley - Blue Hills
Ramsey Lewis - Upendo ni Pamoja
Come - Eleven:Eleven
Whodini - Escape
Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation - To Mum from Aynsley and the Boys
Meg Baird - Dear Companion
Les Dudek - s/t ($2)
The Bongos - Drums Along the Hudson ($2)

what's Stomu Yamash'ta's Go like? i always see it and just assume it's gonna be a wanky fusion album. i've got Man From the East and a soundtrack he did for the movie Tempest. man from the east is pretty amazing. weird, funky, japanese krauty prog

really interesting comments including input from band members & others who put the album together. interesting that chris darrow remixed the album for final release. would be interesting to hear the original mix, but that would mean finding the CD..

Taking a couple hundred CDs that I couldn't sell online to Amoeba and hoping to get some exchange for RECORDS. Excited to post my score here. Should I hunt for bargains or treat myself to fancy expensive Parson Sound, etc? I probably will get nothing for these shitty Cds

hunt for bargains and also buy that PS box!

haha

Think Amoeba will have it? How much should I expect for like 300-400 CDs? Not the shittiest CDs ever but maybe a little generic, which is why I didn't list them online. All in good condition.

the way amoeba is now, u will probably get anywhere from 200-400$. they barely take anything anymore, and the ones they do take, they give a buck to 3 (5 if you're lucky). they used to give you 4-6$ per cd

Yeah, figures. But otherwise these things would just be gathering dust in my garage. So they don't take everything? I never figure out how these guys know what's what. Are they like the biggest record nerds ever? The dudes at LA Amoeba all look seriously metal.

i'm pretty sure they've got a computer system that helps them determine what to buy and for how much

No, last guy was definitely just using brane

huh ... i've had them sometimes look stuff up on the computer, but most of the time they just sort stuff into piles without consulting anything

I got $24 in trade for 10 CDs today and I figured I was about par for the course these days.

I got The Waitresses LP! (Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful). Been looking for that for a long time.

Also scored Sheila E's Romance 1600 and a DI (not Disco Inferno) album for the old Adolescents fan in me.

hozac shipment:
super wild horses LP and 7"
radar eyes 7" (unfortunately could not sound LESS like the godz)
sex church 7"
the flips 7"
outer minds 7"
hookup klub 1 compilation LP (maybe to sell, tbd)

what's Stomu Yamash'ta's Go like? i always see it and just assume it's gonna be a wanky fusion album.

it's kind of all over the place... good amount of funky fusion but also plenty of spacey electronics courtesy of klaus schulze. i love the live in paris album too, but you've got to have tolerance/awe for al di meola's pyrotechnics.

this week:

darryl hall & john oates - war babies
bill nelson - vistamix
leon ware - inside is love
harry nilsson - harry
harry nilsson - aerial pandemonium ballet
buddy miles - them changes (upgrade copy)
talk talk - it's my life
talk talk - colour of spring
duke ellington - indigos
paul horn - inside russia

harry nilsson - aerial pandemonium ballet

stole this from my mom. love it. what elephant 6 always wanted to be

elephant 6 is among the things i thought i might never hear jaxon talk about

haha. i was so into them when i lived in chicago (99-2000). pissed when i saw OTC albums on record store walls for $100 and i'd already gotten rid of them. i still have the Music Tapes pop up book on vinyl. love that one.

also major lolz at seeing ethan padget talk about e6

e6 is the twee wu, theyre in their sunz of man/killarmy/la the darkman throes now but shit like black foliage is a ill cuban linx dart

i still rock the 1st otc album. pretty much everything else can go to hell. actually the 1st nmh album is cool, which is crazy seeing how the 2nd one borders on the worst music ever recorded.

love "jumping fences" from the first OTC, love "i shall be floated" from the second. i still think those NMH albums are pretty great, even though i will admit that they havent aged super-well, and certainly did way more harm than good.

I just traded in a copy of the George McCrae lp tonite at Reckless (had two copies.) My fave the LP (other than the title cut, which has long been like top 5 songs all-time for me) has always been "Make It Right".

dude, stormy, sell this shit to ME instead.

ronnie hawkins - the hawk
alastair galbraith - mass (new one; great. siltbreezers.)
mel tillis - the great mel tillis sings "walk on, boy" and other great country hits

snuck out this afternoon and picked up:

Jessie Hill - Ooh Poo Pah Doo pt 1+2
Bobby Gregg and His Friends- The Jam pt 1+2
Wilbert Harrison - C.C. Rider / Why Did You Leave
Louis Brooks and His Hi-Toppers - It's Love Baby / Chicken Shuffle

john martyn - glorious fool (terrible, terrible review here, but funnily, i really dig this album. produced by phil collins, so it's a bit smoother, but that's what i like about it. kinda reminds me of a gruffer michael franks. the full band version of "couldn't love you more" w/clapton is just amazing)
john martyn - well kept secret
richard vimal - aquarhythmies (spaced out stacks of synths new age)
staple singers - turning point (with 80s boogie cover of talking heads slippery people)
eberhard weber colours - silent feet
alan vega - saturn drive/wipeout beat 12"
spinners - happiness is being w/the...
steve tibbetts - safe journey

jax, if you or anyone else sees a copy of "stormbringer" by john & bevm martyn, think of yer pal IJ

posted this over in 'Stores in New York' on ILM, really belongs here:

back from ny; went to both Academys, Kims, Other Music, Gimme Gimme was closed. Academy is by far the best of the lot. Other Music (which i used to love) is just feeling really tired, and i never can figure out their categories; meagre used vinyl.

Academy, on the other hand: both locations great. didn't buy much at all, but it was great fun nonetheless. really like the bright and spacious layouts of both locations (i'm old and i've done my time in crowded dark record stores!)
my little haul:
Bovine Over Sussex W. 10" (from the EV store)
The Only Ones-Even Serpents Shine
Richard Barone-Cool Blue Halo
Deerhunter-Microcastle the single one on white vinyl

i would've said hello, Ian--but while i was there i overheard two people come in asking for you; guess you were due in later. hopefully next time!

thanks for the kind words, nerve pylon! i wonder if i was working when you were here in the brooklyn store.

oh, i just read the bottom of your post.
