Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

WOODSTOCK MOUNTAIN REVIEW, is the album i think yer thinking of, scott. they may have had more than one record, i'm not sure. the one i have is called "back to mud acres." it's not terrible but it's nowhere near as awesome as the two Happy & Artie records on Capitol.

Now playing: Vibracathedral Orchestra "Ragged & Right"

oh i just checked, it's REVUE.

okay, gotcha. if it's a dollar, i'll pick it up.

and i was backwards on those veejay records. the STEREO copy is the first edition with the two songs they later had to take off for legal reasons. i might sell the copy i got. it's in nice shape and they go for money. and i hate the way it sounds.

i always forget beatles lore.

hahaha, okay, apparently outside of Germany that Missouri album is a dime a dozen. ebay is littered with their corpses. oh well. i've certainly never seen the thing. i guess i'll keep it for the archives.

i've seen that missouri record a few times. basement rock for basement rock dudes.

well that certainly describes me pretty good!

ya gotta wonder why the hell someone paid 90 euros for a copy.

i broke down and paid cash money for a copy of the new age reissue from newbury comics on their ebay site. seemed like the best price. or the best i could find anyway. i tried to have the record store order it from forced exposure, but FE was out of it. i was hoping i could just trade for a copy. cuz i'm poor. but i don't want it to disappear and i REALLY need a copy.

i might trade in the nice copy of let it be i got today too. i'm not that fond of let it be.

i'm keeping yellow submarine though. i'd forgotten how much i love that one side. george's long jam on there is the bomb.

i picked up a nice copy of after the goldrush and a not horrible/playable copy of absolutely free and the kingsmen on campus at the other thrift store last week. those will go to the record store too. those are the things they can sell good. basically, if i can find average classic rock records every so often, i can get good trade-in value cuz that's what the kids want here.

george's long jam on there is the bomb.

aka my favorite Beatles song

also: this Bobb Trimble record is awesome. In addition to Big Star and Syd, I am also getting whiffs of The Bevis Frond and something more multi-layered. And this was the first record I've bought that included an MP3 download code! SO CONVENIENT.

yeah, "it's all too much" is probably my favorite beatles song too! what a great jam.

i was all beatled out today. it all sounded great.

there's a reason people like that band.

i know it's a cliche and without getting all tim ellison about it, almost any one of their songs would be another band's fucking career. every once in a while i allow my jaw to drop and ask myself: how the fuck did they DO all that? seems inhuman.

ian gchat

i love my job sometimes.

ken nordine - word jazz 2

aannnnd the complete piano/violin work of henry Cowell.

I got a Forced Exposure package today with three Mississippi records, the new Yeti, and what was supposed to be Wanda Jackson's live 10" on Sundazed. Unfortunately they sent me some record from Mali by accident and the 10" is now sold out. Gah. Never had any problem with them in like ten years, this is a first.

which Mississippi's did ya get??

Life Is A Problem (allow me to briefly whine about the lack of the 7" in my repress)

Last Kind Words

I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore

only listened to the first one, reminds me of that Revenant American Primitive set. which is a very very good thing.

we need a Mississippi S/D thread.

that mali record is a repress done by mississippi, right?

i have that one, LIAP, IDFAHITWA, and lipa kodi ya. lipa kodi ya is on top, and ive had it longest/listened to it most, but they are all so tight and immediately worthwhile.

my friend and i were talking about a KN word-jazz album today ian!

that mali record is a repress done by mississippi, right?

hm, that would kinda explain why they sent it by accident since that label comprised the rest of my order.

I tried ordering the Wanda Jackson through an eBay store, hopefully they have it. FE says I can return the Mali album for credit but I think I maybe should keep it based on your recommendation.

yeah its def worth keeping!

i got the jay reatard blood demos 7" in the mail yesterday, and it's actually worth it! four demos from blood visions, each of which is different enough to make the whole thing pretty interesting. if you like the JR album. otherwise, avoid.

traded more stuff in today at the store. got that mali thing that everyone keeps talking about. at least, i think it's the same mali thing. youth orchestra from 1970? i did NOT buy the wanda jackson 10 inch.

also broke down and used my hard-earned trade to get the super-phat boris/merzbow package. i am usually immune to southern lord trying to trick me into getting 400 pound extrasuperlimitededition stuff, but for some reason it just looked too cool to pass up.

also got the jason spaceman/sun city girls harmony korine soundtrack on drag city. i didn't even know they were doing a soundtrack for a harmony korine movie. and i have no idea what it sounds like, but i got it anyway.

i ogled that super-fancy portishead box. 50 buxxx!!! way cool though. lots of neat extras.

also, the store took two boxes of rekkerds from some woman and i went thru them and she had a decent original copy of the Sacred Mushroom album! yay! i need that record. even in top shape it usually only sells for a hundred bucks or so, so i'm hoping i can get a good deal. my pal mike still has to buy these records from her and then he'll let me know. might be time to trade in a couple hundred metal CDs or so.

man i totally want our order from drag city to show up with that soundtrack. what's with large indie labels not pressing large enough quantities of things? see also: pavement reissues, that last Sir Richard Bishop LP on drag city, those higgins & mayo reissues, etc.

I got another Jerry Jeff Walker record today.
And The Sea Ensemble record on ESP, which is... kinda mediocre, but has its moments.

wait, Polytheistic Fragments was on LP? wtf.

scott, yes that is the 1970 youth orchestra record. exact repro except for the runoff groove.

wait, Polytheistic Fragments was on LP? wtf.

^^ exactly.

Sly Boots - Notes On A Journey (stoner hippie private folk rock)
Karl Richey - Karl Richey... Delivers (is this a private LP or not? I feel like i've seen the "Studio 10" label before, but if it looks like, smells like, sounds like...)

AND

jerry jeff walker - bein free

ian got me the kate bush cloudbusting single <3

oh, same label as Day Blindness.

i got lindsay the kate bush cloudbusting 12" single with the organon remix and non-album b-sides!

i had that sly boots years ago and gave it up cuz i thought it was kinda dreary or boring. but maybe i'd like it better now that i'm so much drearier and boring-er. i always loved the cover. i remember finding it and hoping it was privatehippiejam of my dreams and being disappointed. it never used to sell for money. does it sell now cuzza hepcat interest in all things bellbottom?

popsikes at around $30 but i got my copy for much less than that.
I actually like it quite a bit. It's better than most crappy private folk/rock records! it's not as good as, say, jerry jeff walker, but it's definitely better than karl richey.

i think at the time - probably early 90's - i was just looking for SIIIIIIIIIKKKKEEEE records, you know? and i got more mellow later on. i'd probably dig it now. i got rid of a lot of stuff back then that i would probably love now. when i was actually selling records in a store - oof! - i don't even want to go there. sold so much stuff i'll probably never see again.

i finally got "circus bells (hardfloor remix)" on vinyl - it's a reissue but WHO CARES IT'S IN PERFECT CONDITION!! so so happy

i'm having a siltbreeze day, by the way. listening to the newer stuff. sapat. ex-cocaine. etc.

sale at my local store

picked up:

Eno/Fripp - Evening Star
The Ventures - Super Psychedelics
REM - Murmur

any of you dudes heard the Fripp/Eno or Venture??

i usually don't take expensive bets on stuff i hadn't heard but i need more eno ambient stuff and the idea of a psych ventures record seemed worth the $15 gamble.

the ventures album is cool! hope it was in great shape for 15 bucks!

yeah it looks good. i really trust the dude that runs my shop, he grades real fair and it was VG+, original press etc....it's nice usually for anything over 15 he resleeves and give you poly sleeve on the outside.

if you like that ventures, get VENTURES IN SPACE. goes for maybe $5 or $6.

is that fripp/eno thing good? i kinda figured those 2 in the early 70s was a pretty safe bet across the board. paid 20 for it.

Book fair in St. Louis yielded the following for $1 each...

Poco & Cerrone = happy days ahead.

listened to the new Ocrilim record today. Mick Barr of Orthrelm/Octis or whatever. I think it's solo. I think all the drums are programmed. There is shred and heaviosity and also annoying guitar noises for annoying guitar noise people.

we should really start a poco and cerrone fan club. they are both gods.
