ian do you have this one?

Banana and the bunch – mid-mountain ranch (raccoon/wb – 1972)

i like the corbett/hirsh, and the banana and the bunch record is pretty good too! can be too noodle-y jam band jazzs sometimes, like some of the youngbloods LPs, but it's a nice pleasant listen.

NC so far:
this heat -- s/t LP
neil michael hagerty and the howling hex 2LP
the seeds -- a web of sound LP
v/a -- pioneers of the jazz guitar LP (yazoo)

lilly brothers and don stover -- early recordings LP
the cure -- the head on the door LP

nice haul! and yep it was me on the Nommos tip. that was my big score from FMU, for $5. how much did the This Heat set you back, if you don't mind me asking? i need an upgrade.

dmr - i want that New Orleans comp so so bad! I have the other volume of it but have had one eye towards that one for some time now...

so i'm the only person in western mass interested in classical records apparently. big collection at the auction house. the CDs went for 4000 dollars. and guess what. that was a STEAL. tens of thousands of dollars worth of sealed audiophile cds and boxed sets. anyway, i sent my right hand woman maria and she got 30 boxes of records AND the great record shelves they were on for...175 bucks. really? nobody wants them? and we could have gotten DOUBLE that amount for 200 bucks but enough was enough and we had more than enough to work with. the majority of this stuff is mint and/or sealed european audiophile pressings. just great stuff. modern/weird/obscure stuff too. very cool collection. the guy would tape his records and catalog them and then shelve the record. i'm gonna have fun listening. and selling. online. pulled this out of a box. should cover our 175 dollar investment:

:D Well Tuned Piano is a pleasant listen.

i don't think i'll keep it though. i got rotten kids to feed. but my brother in law has a copy and i can listen to it at his place when i go there. in fact he played it one of the last times we were there all stoneded. dreamy good.

dmr - i want that New Orleans comp so so bad! I have the other volume of it but have had one eye towards that one for some time now...

it's great! Danny White's "The Twitch" is amazing. Actually I've only listened to the comp once all the way through so far, I'm gonna put it on again right now ...

skot I've been on a huge classical jag lately, it's kinda been all I have been listening to (well, except for Friday and Saturday nights when I get drunk and listen to Black Sabbath and The Band and post on ILV.) I even just donated 50 bucks to our local classical station during their Fall fund drive! and I am going to two Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts this month (Boulez, conducting Schoenberg, Debussey, and Ligeti -- so super psyched.)

but the weird thing is, I never feel compelled to buy the stuff on vinyl. I dunno why. maybe always assume that "any* surface imperfections will mar the listening experience? in a way that they won't with rock? i dunno what it is. i never check the classical sections at my local stores

any *LIVING STEREO* items in yr haul??

i want this one

whoa awesome lot scott

just listening to a wonderful hungarian folk box from that haul. so good. (gonna keep it. i'm definitely having fun. so much of this is mint unplayed audiophile stuff. wish i had a zillion dollar stereo system. but even without one it all sounds so good.)

i've always bought classical records. and i've learned a lot over the years. i've always said that they are the best value in all of record collecting. its not unlikely at all to find pristine euro-pressings in thrift stores for a dollar. so many classical fans belonged to clubs and they would get stuff every month and never listen to half of it twice. listening to a virgin classic digital pressing from germany now and its sonic heaven.

and if people are intimidated by classical don't be! just dig in! you can totally own heaven for a dollar.

all that guy's home-made cassettes were up for auction too! and reel to reels. and all the cool wooden tape dressers too! i call them dressers. i don't know what to call them. they have drawers. for tapes. like those fancy cd ones. he also had this HUGE wooden cd carousel and i don't think anyone bought it. i thought about getting it for the store but it weighed a ton. plus fuck a cd. and his card catalog for his collection was there.

if i had had the money i totally would have gone for the CDs though. i don't think i've ever seen a more comprehensive or immaculate classical cd collection. thousands and thousands of them. and all collector euro stuff. unbelievable. the guy who bought them isn't even a dealer. he just has a huge cd collection and needed some classical!

and if people are intimidated by classical don't be!

see, thing is, I'm not intimidated by the genre itself -- I know the composers I love (Mahler, Sibelius, Haydn, Shostakovitch foremost among many), and own tons of crap on CD

I just have this weird ass aversion to classical LPs. it's a hang-up, i know

estoy en buenos aires y encuentro una tienda mas wack con el nombre GUITARRAS. dude had some gross stacks of swag and some OG prestige record in the bin marked at 1000 pesos (bw 200 and 300 USD). he also had two separate storerooms of records that he wouldnt open for me, and when i went to check some rotary connection LP to see if pete cosey was on it, he got mad! i tried to explain, but he wasnt feelin me in general i guess. :( im just venting, im sure i was just annoying him while he diddled his guitar.

then hit this lil mall store (lotsa these weird lil mall stores here...) called abraxas and picked up the slapp happy/henry cow LP, francis monkman's ENERGISM on innovative communications, and some rando italo 12" that will maybe be good.

in general, the trip has been a total blast. lots of walking, lots of empanadas y cervezas, and TONS of feral cats, which is annie's total #1 dream.

more to come! abrazos.

energism is dope. kinda has an 80s olympics feel to it sometimes though

i've only been open about a year and a half and i've probably sold 100+ beatles albums, 100+ floyd albums, 100+ dylan albums, 100+ stones albums, 100+ beach boys albums.

wrong thread! meant that for the beatles thread on ilm.

today at exiles in palermo:

caetano veloso -- s/t (w beard and furry coat)
crazy gang -- we are the crazy gang (simonetti)
kano -- im ready/holly dolly 12"
v/a -- doing it for the kids (creation comp LP)

love that Kano. best intro. I need a less beat-up copy.

And I bought Andy Earles' new Husker Du book. Excited!

Did OK on a batch of '50s 45s that I got for $10, most of which I didn't know. Some good doo wop sides (Passions, Impalas, Innocents, Crests) and two Eddie Cochran records. Actually, one of the records I bought because it had Kenneth Gamble's name on it and it turned out to be a really good early soul single: "Who Do You Love"/"Oh So Soon" by the Sapphires.

I also got the Bobby Fuller Four's first lp.
