mister charlie's blues 1926-1936 (great, great yazoo comp)

^^^ all time greatness.
you should check out the "mountain blues" comp on County, as well as "Mountain Guitar" and "mountain songs and ballads."

^All on my want list now.

YES BLUES FOR ALLAH!

it's a weird copy, not on Discogs. White GD Records label but without the details that Discogs has.

next I gotta get Steal Your Face, I decided I need more Keith & Donna in my life

in that case, the motherlode: http://www.discogs.com/Keith-Donna-Keith-Donna/release/2416470

though i remember it as a grueling listen in the same way that bob weir's heaven help the fool was (may i never hear it again)

xpost to ian: don't think i have any of those county comps, but the ones i do have are all excellent and always have my eyes peeled for any stray county releases i see

daniel moore s/t (dunhill hippie lookin dude)
billy paul - war of the gods
festival of the himalayas vol. 2 (nonesuch explorer)
music in the karakorams of central asia (nonesuch explorer)
jackie mclean - it's time!
billy bang - outline no, 12
oliver nelson - more blues & the abstract truth (later pressing but cheap)
charles tolliver - paper man
percy eldge - warm and tender soul
stephan micus - implosions
derek bailey & noel akchote - close to the kitchen
roswell rudd - flexible flyer
tolkien - songs and poems of middle earth
ornette coleman - art of the improvisers
donald byrd - a new perspective
stanley turrentine - never let me go
duke pearson - introducing duke pearson's big band
prince - sign o the times
jimmy smith - plays pretty just for you

i got a pretty sweet pristine copy of lou reed's NEW SENSATIONS the other day, problem is it was in the sleeve of THE BLUE MASK. now i guess i have to hold out for a dollar bin copy of the former so i can put it in its right place.

also:

george strait - ocean front property
martin denny - hypnotique
donovan quinn and the 13th month - your wicked man

haha no way am I masochistic enough for the Keith & Donna solo rec, although now that I see the cover I remember seeing that around all the time

Hypnotique is a great record!

bearded ladies vol. one
bbc radiophonic workshop - the radiophonic workshop
jack bruce - things we like
barre phillips - for all it is
vladimir chekasin - nomen nescio
wolfgang dauner group - rischkas soul (same personnel as on output + additional drummer/guitarist)
sandy bull - inventions
tom rapp - stardancer (the only rapp/pbs i've never heard before)
michael yonkers - goodby sunball, michael lee yonkers (think these may be originals? rough textured silver covers/flimsy seventies like pressings)

i LOVE stardancer. i think it is an awesome record.
really like goodby sunball but for some reason MLY has not really clicked with me. original copies are/were available recently via destijl, fusetron i think,,

ariel pink - worn copy

checked out the new record shop that opened here recently, mostly way too expensive reissues but walked away with a cheap used copy of moby grape's wow and the archival release of the wilde flowers material

^includes kevin ayers covering parchman farm in a very plummy english accent!

mostly way too expensive reissues

...in every new record store ever...

V/A - I Am the Center, Private Issue New Age Music in America 1950-1990
Monks - Black Monk Time

^ good combination on those two!

we have the monks record on the ipod at the beer store and so i have been listening to it way more than i have in years. great stuff tbh.

over the last week or so:

jack bruce - songs for a tailor
anthony moore - flying doesn't help
groundhogs - hogwash, solid
moby grape - 20 granite creek
pearls before swine - city of gold (only beautiful lies... to find now!)
cecil taylor - nefertiti, the beautiful one has come (arista freedom 2 lp version)
charles tolliver and music inc. - the ringer
bobby brown - prayers of a one man band

spotted the bobby brown in amongst a lot of op shop dross someone was selling, so made them an offer for it and it's crazy good. no idea how it ended up on these shores though.

that is a score. bobby brown's great.

and so is 'Flying Doesn't Help'.

yeah that's a nice score, I don't think I've ever seen a copy of that.

i'm going to have to give flying doesn't help some more plays since on first listen it didn't really hit me that hard except for a couple of tracks (the version of war is pretty great though).

i'm guessing the bobby brown lp was bought at one his shows since he's thanked them and added a couple of :-) :-) on the back. apparently he turned up in australia at some point, so i guess it's not out of the question he made it to nz as well (would be fascinating to know if he played any shows here too). whoever owned it before mustn't have listened to it much/at all cause it's absolutely pristine.

that is such a weird part of his story! so intriguing...

OK in a very weird and very pleasing development, I found my own copy of the Bobby Brown record yesterday... also with his writing on the back!

Best I can make out, it says:

"Love Bobby... these are my new ones... better than tapes... I hope that's OK... I don't have tapes of Axonda yet"

:-O that's awesome! you'd think drag city, light in the attic or someone would be all over these.

I haven't really been going out much because I've been trying to better deal with the stuff I already have. Couldn't help but hit up a couple spots when I was out doing errands though. Last three months' records:

Rafael Seijo con su Orquestra Charanga- La Pachanga Dance Tonite
Kenny Loggins- High Adventure (tried to justify buying this about three different ways and I'm going to settle on "hey, it's clean with a sticker on shrink)
Yodelin' Slim Clark - Cowboy Songs Vol II
Janis Joplin - I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!
Zoot Sims, Al Cohn & Phil Woods- Jazz Alive!: A Night at the Half Note
V/A - Jingle Bell Rock(a TIME/LIFE MUSIC "The Rock 'N' Roll Era" box set. Contains Mono!!! :) :) :) )
Richard Stoltzman- Begin Sweet World
V/A (featuring The Sun Swingers's Children's Chorus) - Glad Songs! (COPYRIGHT © 1970 by MINE PUBLICATIONS, INC. A SUBSIDIARY OF HOLT, RINEHART AND WINSTON, INC.)
The Chieftains- 9: Boil The Breakfast Early
Lionel Hampton - Silver Vibes

Boogarins - As Plantas Que Curam: cool current band from Brazil on Other Music's label, file next to Holydrug Couple and Os Mutantes.

Spike - Orange Cloud Nine: reissue/comp on Golf Channel of this early '80s dude from I think Germany?, pretty great, new wave balearic soft-rock, Ariel Pink vibe at times. word to max for the recommendation.

Dixie Cups - Going to the Chapel: no explanation needed!

yup

the blackjack guy was in monoshock.

I wish I still had that, I think I sold it in the 90's

yeah me too! all my underground 7"s gone in one big clear out for £££ (including a liquorball single on glow-in-the-dark vinyl which was just so good). kills me thinking about it :(

xp oh right that figures

i think when they mastered the tentative power stuff it got slightly sped up in the process didn't it? i remember the guitars ended up sounding kind of balalaika like. got rid of mine since i already had most of it on 7" and clyma isn't too hard to find here. sometimes think operation of the sonne is my favourite dead c.

i gotta get to a regular record store to catch up on the non dollar bin / old man side of things. but anyway,

I got a good one:

Michael Hurley - Blue Navigator

Media Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-)
Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+)
Disc is great. Sleeve is tough to grade in that its in great condition, but there is a strip of black spray paint about 1/4 inch wide running down the left and bottom sides of the front of the jacket.

YES PLEASE

/braggin'

whoa! that's the super rare one, right? <3 <3 <3 hurley

yep, I never ever see it

I have a homemade CDR of it that I bought from Hurley at a gig, but I suspect his ripping gear is not exactly high end. still pissed at Mississippi for reissuing it on 8-track only.
