sun ra - the other side of the sun

I picked up some Sun Ra last week too, on the "100th birthday" day I was at this vintage store near my apartment in Brooklyn that has a small but reasonably good selection of reissues (usually stuff like Numero Group, Soul Jazz etc) and lo and behold they had like 20 nice Sun Ra repressings for 10 bucks a pop. I got "Atlantis" and "We Travel the Spaceways."

on more than one occasion i've had to repress my impulse to just grab all the sun ra reissues that are out there now. the one up there is from the late seventies which is an era i wasn't familiar with at all...

& my local record shop has recently acquired an amazing folk/string band/bluegrass/blues/cajun collection so:

a day in the mountains 1928
nashville: the early string bands vol. 1
old-time classics: a collection of mountain blues
hell broke loose in georgia: georgia fiddle bands 1927-1934
mississippi breakdown: traditional fiddle music of mississippi vol. 1
the blues roll on (7th vol. of the lomax/collins series of field recordings)
the watersons - s/t, for pence and spicy ale
martin carthy - sweet wivelsfield
martin carthy & dave swarbrick - byker hill
sweeney's men - reissue of the first lp (been looking for a copy of this for a long, long time!)
gay & terry woods - tender hooks
incredible string band - no ruinous feud
the albion band - lark rise to candleford
john kirkpatrick - plain capers: morris dance tunes from the cotswolds
john kirkpatrick & sue harris - among the many attractions at the show will be a really high class band

also ordered a copy of the reissue of anne briggs' hazards of love ep from topic

http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t427/sayhey1/loveisstrange_zpse9a66cec.jpeg

Got a sealed copy for $8 at a flea market. It looked a little suspicious at first--redone versions?--but it's a legitimate compilation that came out in '73, with "Love Is Strange" and three out of their seven other chart hits.

Today from Mystery Train in Amherst

Bongwater - The Power of Pussy
Gino Washington - Out Of This World
Lou Reed - Street Hassle
Superchunk - I Hate Music
The Doors - Strange Days

^^ BIG SCORE!!! I wish I knew you were after the Sweeney's Men; I have a duplicate. great record.

:-) it is great, copy i found looks like it's a seventies reissue on some very small irish label and sounds amazing. now to find their second one! there were also some cape breton fiddle lps in with that collection, but i'm clueless about that stuff. planning on going back in to check what else has been put out later today if i have the time...

also, big discovery on those county comps: narmour & smith!

and so:

martin carthy - out of the cut
fairport convention - heyday (bbc radio sessions 1968-69)
the louvin brothers - radio favorites '51-'57
joe & janette carter - sing carter family favorites
fred cockerham, tommy jarrell, oscar jenkins - down to the cider mill
irish-american dance music & songs (early recordings from the late 1920's)
angus chisholm - the early recordings of (legendary performances of traditional scottish fiddling)

man I need a copy of Heyday so bad

i actually didn't know of its existence, so was a nice surprise spotting it there. wasn't sure i needed to hear another cover of suzanne but it's pretty exceptional! also a very nice version of gene clark's tried so hard.

beach boys - surfer girl
fleetwood mac - rumours
mary wells - two lovers
andwella - people's people

just scored original nz pressings of the first three scott walker lps for $5 each

also recently picked up annette peacock's i have no feelings. very minimal sound compared to the other work i've heard by her: just various keyboards, multi-tracked vocals and quite spare percussion. mostly short pieces, kind of reminiscent of robert wyatt.

cassiber - man or monkey
red crayola with art & language - kangaroo?
annette peacock - i'm the one (eighties reissue with different cover)

got all these at an incredible discount at a nearby store that was having this crazy 20-50% off tenth anniversary sale, spent $20 total:

chris forsyth and the solar motel band - solar live 11.15.13
amor de dias - street of the love of days
nils frahm - screws
idris muhammed - foxhuntin'
isley brothers - go for your guns

found another couple of volumes from the southern folk heritage series (american folk songs for children & white spirituals), as well as:

bert jansch - it don't bother me
bobby brown - the enlightening beam of axonda

aaand: leroy jenkins/jazz composer's orchestra - for players only

in the mail:

Rosalie Sorrels - Folksongs Of Idaho And Utah
Sonic Youth - Death Valley '69 7"
Throbbing Gristle - Adrenalin 7"
Yusef Lateef - Blues For The Orient
Bobby Brown - Enlightening Beam Of Axonda (got all 3 now)

ha, snap to the bobby brown lp! given it a few listens now and really liking it. maybe less outright goofy than prayers for a one man band, and there were a few places where i kept expecting him to break out into song to a siren. how does his "live" lp compare to the other two?
