my beef with him is that he'll never sell me anything that he has in his car! car just loaded with boxes of treasure. my kind of treasure anyway.

haha i just came to this thread to talk about vinylty.

someone should buy this record--
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rio-Grande-Self-Titled-/400281407246?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5d32a18f0e#ht_1993wt_1068

i have it already, and if it stays under 10 it's def worth it imo.

but yeah it's nuts. like $15 for a copy of jefferson airplane's "volunteers"

he comes into our shop a lot too.

so i finally flipped that VitaNova lp I scored last month in a bargain bin.

was wavering over the pros and cons of listing it on ebay - but in the end sold it locally, to collecting legend H@ns P0k0ra!

I spoke to him at the weekend at the local record fair, and he said was really interested but wanted to check the condition first. So he came over here yesterday, and we agreed on 700 euros. A bit less than the last ebay auction, but at least i didn't have to give a slice to BayPal or risk dodgy bidders, postal weirdness or chargebacks.

Plus it was nice to have a chat about records, collecting and all that kind of stuff.. I even showed a couple of records from my collection that he had never seen before - so got a bit of a buzz from that..

700 euros = 900 dollars in my digging fund for NYC/Boston in 3 weeks time!

good fundage!!!

another vinylty auction i've been digging on lately is this hard-to-google record by SIMPSON..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Simpson-Self-Titled-/400281445500?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5d32a2247c#ht_1975wt_1068

nice work, Talcum!

Nice! poo is still champ though. get digging, dudes.

wow and you sold it to the acid king! didn't even see that. very cool. and yeah paybay would have taken a HUGE chunk of that. always go local when you can.

yeah.. i definitely made the right choice...

I just got an email from him a few minutes ago saying thanks for the record, and he also sent me some sound samples of records of records he thought i might like.. we talked a lot about Zamrock and other afro-psych stuff.. jesus this guy has OG's of everything! insane.. really nice guy..

yeah i can't even imagine his collection. bonkers.

i don't bid on vinylty's stuff cuz some is stuff i can't justify spending that much money on (for myself) and other records i would dig (that don't go for a ton) i figure i'll find eventually in a store around here. i mean its the kind of random stuff i buy when i go to my fave spots in western mass. really great place to be for me because there is so much of that stuff around. between turn it up in brattleboro and in the moment in brattleboro and turn it up in northampton and platterpus in easthampton and mystery train in amherst i have plenty of go to places for marginal rural rock/70's rock. god bless this place.

and then there is the stuff that just comes in my door...get good stuff that way too.

how is he getting $25 for that jesse winchester record

he's got the magic touch. people really like buying stuff from him. if you or me put that same record up nobody would even bid on it.

he sells almost EVERY record he puts up!

i mean how does he get 15 bucks for grand funk records!?

see, that jennifer warnes record, he might have bought that from me for 2 bucks.

i've actually won a few records from vinylty in the past for decent prices--People's Victory Orchestra for under $15, and this last batch got me a couple Yazoo titles that I need pretty cheap as well.

and by "pretty cheap" i mean $10-15 cheaper than I'd find 'em in a store in new york.

and i have a paypal balace from selling rockabilly 45s to europeans.

I've watching this guy's auction and wondering what the deal is. He has a copy of Ron Cornelius but I want a minty copy. I might get that Rio Grande and I kind of want that first Tom Waits.

That Ron Cornelius is a great record.

Found two copies in the wild in Vienna in the past year.. unfortunately not minty, but good enough for me..

Are the West LP's he's on any good?

I really love both West records! I think I like Bridges a little more, but the first one is great too. I've lost bidding on that record at least 5 times now! But I keep thinking I will get it for around 25 and it always sell just above my max bid.

The second has nice instrumental passages and has a little bit of a jazzy feel to it.

I like the West records but i'm not kerazzzy about 'em. There are some good songs though. Rural pop almost more than rural rock, but yer right about the instrumental passages on the seond record. they don't QUITE fit the mood, i feel, but they're fun. they were just a studio band yeah?

I think they were just studio guys, Ron Cornelius did a lot of studio work after West spilt up. Have you heard Link Wray's Be What You Want To? It's the only one I don't have.

i'm a big fan of the west records. mostly for that sweet production. you used to be able to get those for peanuts on ebay. nobody wanted them.

I didn't pay much for both of the West records, one I found in Houston at this great store called Black Dog where I've found a bunch of my favorite records. The other I won on ebay for 12.00.

that link wrecord is good imo! i like all his weird late stuff. i like the early instro/surf/punk kinda stuff too don'tgetmewrong, but i like SONGS.

Is that one along the same lines as his country-fried ones?

yep. i'm gonna put it on now!
jerry garcia plays steel on a chunk of tunes.
bromberg is there, peter kaukonen guests on the first track which i had never noticed til just now..

Yep I need that record

it's good music!

The self titled Link Wray is damn near a perfect record, it's like what the Stones were trying to make with Exile on Main St.

^^so true

they are both great!

can't they both be great?

great shack-ness on one. great basement-ness on the other. shacks and basements have different vibes.

ahhh my boys.

Fuck yeah got a trip to my favorite used record shop in the region lined up for tomorrow with my favorite couple!
We'll probably get some BBQ, too. Love Saturdays!

xxp skot yes yes, i <3 that link wrecord, but i also love exile 4evr

Beans and Fatback is maybe both basementness and shackness?

I love Exile too

I like the idea that the Stones were "trying to do" something on that record, and yet somehow they fell short of the mark! lol

I kind of think the stones did fall a little short though, after listening to other records with the same vibe.

you don't want to get stormy going. could get ugly...

Similar vibes, not same

i found a bunch of fairport & related records today at housing works thrift store..
sandy denny - northstar, grassmen, ravens
ian matthews - later that same year (they had valley hi too but it was too beat up to buy)
albion band 'lark rise to candleford' (martin carthy, shirley collins etc.)
richard & linda thompson 'pour down like silver'
historia de la musica rock fairport edition
fairport live 87...

and some local rural/folk/country/rock record 'bright morning star' which is not that good. but i like a record on the same label, the pat decou & tex lamountain record.

and i got a dr. john 'autobiography'
