Nice. Do you stick to $1 stuff, xhuxk, or did you get any pricier finds at the record show? Last one I went to the only $1 stuff I saw was 45s, but this is California...

I don't even look at more-than-a-dollar stuff. Don't want to be tempted!

Kathy Dalton – Boogie Bands & One Night Stands (Discreet 1974)

"Cannibal Forest" is the highlight here, imo. 40 years on it still sounds good.

nickn, Sunday, 24 May 2015 06:11 (eight years ago) link

I've been curious about that album (Kathy Dalton) for a while. Anything at all like Daughters of Albion?

dlp9001, Sunday, 24 May 2015 13:43 (eight years ago) link

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!

hardcore dilettante, Sunday, 24 May 2015 17:38 (eight years ago) link

I'm not familiar with daughters of albion, but if it's an English folk thing (Albion in the name, gotta be, right?) then no.

And yes, The Only Ones are great!

I love Dan Hicks! Don't know of a S/T release though, is it Original Recordings?

(Which contains "Milk Shakin' Mama," and any Hicks fans who haven't seen this, you really should:

at the LC Store the other day i was buying VHS cos they were 60 cents. i brought a stack of like 12 to the counter and she said oh it's 4 for a dollar.

one of the tapes was something called "MOODTAPES" that has a very Miami Vice looking font on the front and the back has white typeface on black looking like a science book from the 80s or something, with shots of sunsets and timelapse cloud footage. the music is incredible. i'll definitely put it on youtube eventually but i think if i slow it down it may become a chillwave classic.

apologies for the really bad quality and there is a bunch of stuff going on in the background cos i did not use audio in and the camera is messing with the lighting and the tv is all distorted because i used it for a noise instrument for a while. but it really just only makes it more psychedelic.

I used to manage Tunes in Hoboken. The pricing was/is based entirely on the going rate on amazon per item. That's why used stuff is all sorts of strangely priced. Funny cause they have the software that adjusts the online listing of the item, but they won't reprice the label until they do like a 6 month aged inventory. Therefore sometimes there ends up being large discrepancies between the in-store price and the online listing of the same item.

Evan, Saturday, 16 April 2016 12:22 (eight years ago) link

Wow, that's a great haul Scott! I love those Adderley titles; some of my favorite stuff of his.

I always wonder about the backstory of how certain records made it to second-hand shops. Did someone suddenly decide they hate Roxy Music and Art Blakey?

(i have done this myself a few times over the years)

mark e, Sunday, 17 April 2016 12:02 (seven years ago) link

They're CDs, so they probably ripped them and sold the physical to de-clutter. People don't generally need CDs for anything beyond being backups with liner notes.

Hey, Adam, thanks for posting the Moodtape. The sounds of domesticity in the background don't hurt at all, ha.

Amazing haul, Scott - what's in the bottom row in the second pic besides Roxy Music? Some Tzadik thing and something with sigils all over it?

And thanks for the info, Evan, figured it was something like that...
