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

straight up, i never listen to comps unless they are old-timey comps.
can ya'll recommend good spacey disco LPs? i'll take a dig through our soul/funk/disco section today. we always have tons of crap with mustaches and spaceships for $3-5.

cerrone's supernature is great
moroder's from here to eternity

umm imma defer after those, but seriously, dont discount comps for italo. it's a singles form!

xpost. most of these have a few youtubes on the discogs page. these are all pretty common.

that's just banging space disco. if you want, i can suggest a bunch of cosmic space albums that are less beat driven and just tripped out synth noodling too?

i would like that! (banging space disco sounds good too though, will check out)

we marked down a bunch of country records at the store today... i took home maybe 15-20 for free. i'll list 'em later. highlights include peewee king, the wilburn brothers, a few comps, and some weird ssw/country hybrid stuff.

I'm impatiently waiting for my Swans LP to arrive.....

epic john fahey haul for $40, all takoma lps:

vol 1: blind joe death
vol 2: death chants, breakdowns, and military waltzes
vol 4: the great san bernadino birthday party (mono)
vol 6: days have gone by (mono)
the voice of the turtle
america

those are pretty much all the best ones, imo.

i already had vol 3: dance of death and other plantation favorites. saw a shitload of cajun arhoolie stuff too but i'm keeping myself on a budget.

Richard Hayman - Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine

i was so psyched to find this when I first started collecting weird records. was a little bummed when I got it home and found that it had the wrong record inside, but that LP was Pierre Henry's 'Le Voyage' on Limelight - double psych!!

got the Love Machine later on the Command 2-fer 'Electronic Evolutions' paired w/ some Hyman moogness
