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

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". It has that same 'droney organ and simple-but-splendid chord changes' vibe as the title cut.

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.

i work at 2pm on fridays & saturdays.

Today:

SPECTRUM: NEW AMERICAN MUSIC, Vol. V - Milton Babbitt, T.J. Anderson, Richard Wernick
Iannis Xenakis - ST 10-1,080262, Polla Ta Dhina (for children's chorus and orchestra!), Akrata, Achorripsis
NEW MUSIC IN QUARTER TONES - Charles Ives, Calvin Hampton, Donald Lybbert, Teo Macero
Roxy Music - Manifesto :)

jealous of the xenakis record!

yah, I bought this a couple months back and love it as well -- in fact, Jaxon i bought on your "keep buying everything by Martyn until it sucks" idea! that said, how is 'Well Kept Secret' ??

XP Yeah, the only piece I know from the LP is Akrata, and the others sound really interesting — I actually like Xenakis's "ST" pieces despite them being his most difficult works and X himself saying he disliked them later on in life, and the other pieces I didn't even know existed, so I'm excited to hear these. I would like to make a digital rip of these but I don't have the equipment.

Xpost. Terrible. Absolutely terrible

forgot to post these eyewitness photos from the thrift store. couldn't find any records, but scored this cool video. i used to see this video for sale in nyc when i was a kid and bleeker bobs would be selling it for, like, 40 bucks or whatever so i never bought one. i just had to wait awhile before i could get it for a dollar.

boz scaggs s/t (got this cuz i saw it was the gatefold w/ nude duane allman, but didn't notice the barcode til i got home. d'oh. it was cheap and it's not a bad record anyway.)
mike nesmith - loose salute
gerry goffin - it ain't exactly entertainment
bobby brown - prayers of a one man band
mason proffit - last night i had the strangest dream
joe south - introspect

is the Boz the one on Atco/Atlantic or whatever? always been a little curious about that record...

it's on atlantic.. got allman on it, and it was produced by marlin greene!

'engineered' by marlin greene i should say. and co-produced.

nice! yep, i definitely need that one...

mississippi records' 5LP alan lomax southern journey tribute collection!

lots of previously unreleased versions/songs on here, about to plunge in! bent corner bummers in the mail, but oh well. i imagine keeping these forever, anyway...

today... kinda lolsy haul--

grateful dead - workingman's dead (upgrade to green label; VG with some scuffs but likely sounds better than the later pressing i had. i mean, it does, as long as the one hairline doesn't tic.)
doors - la woman (late press, $2, never owned this.)
brinsley schwarz - despite it all
glass harp s/t (used to own this, scott's a fan, giving it another go. $5.)

I took cash instead of exchange so I have no score. I am broke and a lousy ILVer =(

Might mailorder something SMALL to make myself feel better...

bobby brown - prayers of a one man band

wow awesome. jealous.

u heard the 3rd one? it's hella weird

that is the third one, innnit? from the eighties, with drum machines and shit? i'm not sure i like it. i like axonda & the live record more.

that mason proffit record i got the other day has an edge warp :(

o, you're right. so weird. if you don't want it ;)

freeform five - perspex sex (w/ maurice fulton rmx)

no ewan pearson remix??

it was $25 at Gimme Gimme.

man the live bobby brown is like a $10-15 record around here. if anyone wants one, i can probably find four of them at the 9/12 KUSF rock-n-swap

Can't wait for payday tbh

peter. yes please. i don't think i've actually heard the live one. i'll trade you that robbie basho if you can find me the bobby brown.

sweet, that's a deal!

Paul Hindemith - "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" (Hindemith, NY Phil) Columbia

bgm is great. been listening to it a bunch lately

I've been listening to it for maybe 4 years but have never owned it until now. Debating whether I should put up the mini posters in my bedroom or leave them in the sleeve.

so broke right now but I did get the A-Frames 333 triple LP, so nice to hear all those oop singles finally.

I'm in the no spare money boat, but here is what I got in the last two weeks.
Cloudland Canyon - Lie In Light
Emeralds - S/T
Mark McGuire - Off In The Distance

leon russell - s/t & carny
the cables - what kind of world (studio one)
roy harper - sophisticated beggar (cheap reissue with ugly cover)

jefferson airplane -takes off (upgrade condition-wise but still a later pressing.)
two of the new MS comps of Lomax Recordings ('i'll be so glad when the sun goes down' and 'i'm gonna live anyhow until i die)

van smack, that Cloudland Canyon is rad.

Not been on here for a while I think, so here's what I remember of the last few months:

Yellow Magic Orchestra - YMO (already got this on CD but the vinyl was reasonably priced)
News From Babel - Work Resumed on the Tower
Beach Boys - 20/20
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Nilsson - Son of Schmilsson
Walter Carlos - By Request
Dagmar Krause & Kevin Coyne - Babble
Tony McPhee - the Two Sides of Tony McPhee (actually got this as a birthday present for a friend but his girlfriend found out he already had it... still, it's awesome)

Hmmm, there is stuff missing from this list but I cannot bring it readily to mind.

So what's up with these Rallizes LPs that Volcanic Tongue is touting. Anyone heard em? Might have to go for it. I only have Live 1977 on CD. (They just sent something out on twitter about limited LPs of Blind Baby and Heavier Than a Death)

i need a copy of smoke some kill. never see one. used to have one. when it came out. :(

they are the latest scam release from Radioactive (xp)

aha. thx.
