to be fair it was the most expensive purchase of the weekend --- but still way less than i keep getting outbid by on ebay. so im pleased. none of the records are actually crap (apart from the "steam" and "bang on a drum" which i only bought for the rubbish breakbeatsOriginally Posted by d-cee
Wish my weekend had consisted of finding 'cheap crap' like that Manfred Mann album...
-- why do i do it

Fairly productive weekend for me. Popped into the local chazzer and found a small pile of weird-beard South American post-punk gubbins - 3 for a quid got me:
Harry "Caos" - mental Brazillian electro/punk gubbins. Brill track on here called "Adeptos" which sounds like the JAMC gone mad.
Smack "Ao Vivo No Mosh" - great angular punk - almost like a Brazillian Gang Of Four. Two standouts "Eternidade" and "Mediocridade Afinal" (as comped by Soul Jazz a couple of years ago).
Las Canoplas "Batman" - another odd one, quirky mix of disco and punk stuff - bit too much saxophone but overall a great listen.
Also picked up a few others, including Sobrecarga on CBS which seems a bit more straightforward on first listen with a bit of a Cure influence.
Then hit the record fair in Camden and found a stall giving away records for "a small donation". Picked up Judy Mackenzie "Peace And Love And Freedom" - nice Christian folk from '71 - very classy and some lovely tunes, the first Ray Charles LP on London, a Swingle Singers thing from '65, a great Chess Comp "Modern Jazz Today" with tracks from Lou Donaldson, Ramsey Lewis etc and a bonkers 7" called "Hear And Now" which seems to be an educational disc of 20th Century music for schools. Elsewhere, I also picked up Jimmy Campbell's "Son Of Anastasia" on Fontana. Not cheap especially, but a few great tracks on here including a retread of 23rd Turnoff's "Michaelangelo".

Very nice version of "the sidewinder" on that - the title track is a groover too.

I think that song 'bang on a drum' as heard on the forum kids comp- is really excellent...I'd love to find this in the wildnone of the records are actually crap (apart from the "steam" and "bang on a drum" which i only bought for the rubbish breakbeats
"Not only that but the WHOLE COVER is UNCREASED with only 2 or 3 TINY creaselines near the opening edge about half way down!!!! In the same place (about half way down the opening edge), there is an absolutely TINY and PERFECTLY repaired split" (xxxrecords)
The Horseless Headman
Durham Oxfam provided me with mine.
And a chazzer in the centre of town turned up the Rupert Bear and the Firebird LP for me this morning!
Kid-frenzy!
To infinity - and beyond!
The Horseless Headman
Howling feedback interlude a la The Who's "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere'?
Check
Post-R'n'B purple heart blocked aggression?
Check
Big collars, brash pop art clothing, early paisley shirts, mod cuts growing out a touch?
Check
Harmonies to take the edge off the stuttering pilled-up lead singer?
Check
1965-66-early '67?
Check
Psychedelia for hard-nosed pill-head art school wanna-bes, innit.
Freakbeat is green with purple flashes.
Freakbeat will auto-destruct in exactly two minutes and fifty-three seconds.
Freakbeat sears yer ears.
If I had to opt for ONE track that encapsulates it, it'd be The Craig's "I must be Mad".
Or The Red Squares' "You can be my baby"
Or maybe The Alan Pounds' Get Rich Quick.
Oh yes.
You'd probably hate it, Alan.

I had a good weekend.
I went into a volcano.
I swam with needlefish.
I washed my car.
I cooked salt cod with onions and garden peas.
and I found some records at a bootsale, which hasn't happened for a very long time.
they were:
A Dr who themes album from the 80s.
Comic Cuts - old music hall pieces such as The Laughing Policeman.
that Lloyd Alexander Real Estate 45 on President.
Plus that crap Joy Sarler Mr Punch single, two 45s by Second City Sound and some other stuff I've forgotten.

great record, was this the original or the repress/ boot?

We know when a mate buys it for you too.

It's the repress but was only a few quid - 'Give me the Sunshine' wicked tune!
Chocolate Rain
I think you answered that yourself. no records for me this weekend - other than about 15 soul/jazz 45s on ebay last night.
Enthusiastic vagueness passes for scholarship in the twilight world of the disc-jockey.

If it's Live In Paris definitely pick it up - really fierce vocals from the Ikettes on that one.
BTW re: Patty Duke - I've got one of those albums and I didn't care for it much but peechee, know what you mean about her influence - have you got that lovely late 90s tribute 7", Your Favourite Patty Hits? Got Rose Melberg, Gaze etc on it, comes with a free comb, as twee as can be but very lovely. The Softies. Now there was a good band. I like the look of that Han River Angels too.
For me, just one LP from PDSA - a Greek woman called Xapis from 1980. Sadly she isn't - as hoped - South Eastern Europe's answer to Sheila B Devotion or Kati Kovacs, but more like a Greek Renee or Renato (whichever one was the lady).
Green Onions
I do have those Patty Tribute 7"s. There's a few of them. And they're exactly the bands i was talking about.
That Han River Angels 7" is the bomb. You might wanna look it up on Youtube as all 4 tracks are on there. No moving images, but it gives you the idea.
The same user who posted that video also has a bunch of Dara Puspita LP's posted. These are expensive LP's now, but just you wait until word of mouth spreads their story further. Oh my...possibly the best female garage out there.

The vocal-lite version of Madame Butterfly is fantastic. It's called 'Madame Butterfly mini-tro' if memory serves. Any idea what that's about??and a fine version of "back for more"
and, erm, i think that's about it.

all the instrumentals on the album are named that way (e.g. give me the sunshine (mini-tro)), no idea why, and googling the term gets you to, erm, the Leo's Sunhipp album.
sorry to be of no help whatsoever.

Apparently they only recorded four songs before lead singer Kenny Simon popped his clogs of cancer. So they had to pad the album out a bit.all the instrumentals on the album are named that way (e.g. give me the sunshine (mini-tro)), no idea why, and googling the term gets you to, erm, the Leo's Sunhipp album.

Yes, I saw that somewhere. Any idea what 'mini-tro' means?

Minimal intro? Mininiscule trout? Sorry, no idea, mate.
