The Moog Machine - Christmas Becomes Electric
Judy Henske - High Flying Bird
Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops - Greatest Hits of the 60s

Wau, what is the Singaporean C&W like? Ex-pats?

los blue jeans, Friday, 19 September 2014 03:01 (nine years ago) link

I can't say for sure, but judging from the LP cover photo (see link below), I assume they are actual Singaoreans -- Not American Ex-pats. Though they do cover several familiar American C&W songs: "Lucille," "City Of New Orleans," "Margaritaville," "Lovesick Blues," etc.

Yeah I would've walked out of that place with a giant smile on my face. California thrifts are all terminally picked over so it's rare to find even one good thing.

I've had a quite a year at the area Goodwills. Seems to me there was quite a bit of attic/basement cleanout happening in the New Haven area. The condition of many are quite good and the remainder are dingy but serviceable. I plan on giving them all a good cleaning.

kwhitehead, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 00:11 (nine years ago) link

went to one record fair where I could not find anything to buy. twas so dispiriting! felt like I'd wasted my day, until I flipped through a $1 box and found the Metroplex 12" of Eddie 'Flashin' Fowlkes - "Goodbye Kiss":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjcbxtYF_bI

didn't want to take any chances on further luck - snatched it up and I'm outta here...!

Paul, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 00:15 (nine years ago) link

that's the one I usually remember first, but I also bought my copy of Metro's 1976 self-titled LP for $1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kX8LOVII0o

I got it thanks to a mention by Ted White in reference to Lou Stathis' wake.
also picked up their second album, produced by Mike Thorne.
when I hear "Criminal World" I wonder if the insistent pulse inspired the drums & guitar in "I Should Have Known Better".

Paul, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 00:30 (nine years ago) link

First dollar-bin dig in a while. The bins round these parts have been very dry of late; everything that used to be a dollar is now $5+ due to the vinyl boom. Was pleasantly surprised today by:

Love Tractor - This Ain't No Outerspace Ship
The Tubes - The Completion Backwards Principle
Big Country - Steeltown
Squeeze - Sweets From a Stranger
Angel City - Darkroom
Dire Straits - EP
Graham Parker & the Shot - Steady Nerves
and best of all: Keith Jarrett - Staircase (jacket and sleeves a little rough but vinyl is 100%)

Went to the big record show this morning. Got three interesting political LPs, all sealed and all $5 from a guy I worked with 30 years ago (in a record store, where else?):

LBJ in the Catskills
Portrait of Adlai Stevenson (long interview from '56; the LP came out in '60)
Eisenhower

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41kAAXWSGfL.jpg

Haven't played them yet, so I don't know if the last actually has Nixon on it, or just someone reading his words.

Also: The Best of Ronnie Dove ($5), The Very Best of Del Reeves ($4, sealed), Matthew Sweet's Sunshine Lies ($10, but still sealed and a double), and a few $2 CDs. Among the latter, Final Damnation, which I thought was a best-of from the track listing (pointless in any case, seeing as I already have a two-LP Damned compilation), but turns out to be a live reunion show from '88. Even at $2, I nominate this as the most ill-advised purchase in the entire history of recorded music.

By timing I mean things beyond your control, like getting there just after they bring a load of records out, or getting to a fresh stack before all the other record nerds get there.

Bought a record collection that was mainly comprised of excellent-to-dreary mid-70s boogie rock (T-Rex & ZZ Top to Status Quo and some of the Pretty Things' lesser efforts) plus a few outliers. The big surprise for me was The Only Ones - I'd never heard them before & they're great!
