Weekday finds- May 6th

[Joe M'geek]

one through the post for me today-

a long time favourite album as a nice uk first pressing



Sitting this next to my uk 'gosdin brothers' makes me realise I need 'through the morning...' and 'white light' as well. Been holding out for Uk pressings at a cheap price for ages, and that's why I count this as a 'find' rather than a buy.

[JamesF]

Yep!

Cheers for that, a few of those early middle LPs look like they'd come up with the goods up until the Kate Bush windswept hairstyle cover LP. I didn't know that saucy 45 existed either so I'll look out for that.

I can also recommend 'Good Morning Rain' for 'Morning Dew' and 'Milk And Honey' (as comped by a fellow Bristol Brilloite of yours ). And I suspect that Bro Logic may be able to help with a few further suggestions...

Bloody love The Prophet LP. The Loner is lounge heaven.

Big thanks to Greg Belson for pointing me in the direction of a $30 copy of Della Reese - I Gotta Be Me - This Trip Out.

Excellent copy despite being advertised as VG+.

[ROCKPROF]

Is the 1969 LP the one with 'I Got Stung' and 'Winter's Going' on? I love that LP if so, but haven't heard any of the others.

Thats the one,just bumped into it on the bay and thought I would take a punt havin never heard it.

[kirkatron]

did your copy have any mixed up tracklists on the label?

very confusing

I did notice that tracks B2 and B3 are mixed up on the label and the back cover but correct on the inner gatefold.

Any other errors ?

Hungry wolf.Thats a nice price.Whats it like?

[Sie-Fly]

hungry wolf rocks - library stylee like the related ugly custard album - you got a bargain deal at 4 quid !! - well done

[Headless mermaid]

The Aquarians - Jungle Grass (UNI)

Nice one. Loving the title tracks

[Col Wolfe]

I wouldn't bother opening this one...there is a british pressing on cbs, but apart from one track that's on the flip of a single (and I think is on the album too)- which is fairly well known and sought after everything I've heard by them is utterly mediocre. I picked up two singles in reckless from the bbc stash a while ago, and they were so unmemorably they made me angry

I think the only really good track they did was 'I Stumbled' on the flip of 'Rumplestiltskin'. I presume that's the one you refer to? A decent freakbeater, considered worthy of a dodgy bootleg

[Joe M'geek]

yeah that's the one.

Do you know what I mean about their other stuff? It ticks all the boxes...cool band name, right era, ended up on a cool label (camp) on paper they are doing the right style of music, but somehow they just don't have it.

Bloody love The Prophet LP.

co-sign, and "several shades of jade" ain't all bad neither. the rest are utter bollocks, of course.

[Col Wolfe]

yeah that's the one.

absolutely

why wasn't there anything else like 'I Stumbled'? This track shows how they coulda turned out. Maybe management were calling the shots.

yea good sounds like they had some studio time left over, and jammed the lp IMHO

A few days up in London over the weekend and yesterday before doing a station survey at Finsbury Park gave me a good few happy moments despite losing and finding my lost mobile phone again.

Below were Friday's haul including the first two being £2 cheapies from Intoxica of all places. The Mollie Thompson LP "From Worlds Afar" (Asteroid) is a werid pick that Johhny trunk mentioned in his Mojo column and apparently less than 100 copies exist of this one-of.Found this in a market stall in West London!!



next lot from Saturday - nice getting a clean Jap copy of Tina Brooks Blue Note classic for under a tenner. Loving the Heron compilation on See For Miles indeed. The walter Bishop Lp, also recommeded here by someone else, is another fine jazzy groove album. I must do some mp3s (if i get time).



The albums below were freebies from Bongolia . Nice chap he is too (this was Friday i think)



Also from Saturday and some Sunday from Alan's,Flashback,Haggle and the Ocean Book shop. Oh yeah i have done the rounds. The Trini Lopez LP was a charity shop find for a quid,and has some great versions such as "Gonna Get Along Without You Now".

No the Tina Brooks is a Jap issue from years back but rarer than the more recent 180gm vinyl reiisue. Nice jazz album indeed so very pleased to get it at a reasonable price.

Just a wee clutch of 45s from the chazzer at lunchtime:

Gary Walker - She Makes Me Feel Better (lovely fuzzy belter - spare)

Gary Walker - You Don't Love Me (slower and fuzzy - still a belter and also spare)

Hugo Montenegro - Good Vibrations / Tony's Theme (soo nice on 45 as they say )

Vikki Carr - Aint No Mountain High Enough (dunno about this - hoping it'll be good - bet it aint)

[Joe M'geek]

Nice...if I wasn't totally rubbish at trading I'd be after those Gary Walker singles

[john stapleton]

Giant Crab - ESP (Uni)
Sugar Pie DeSanto - I Dont Wanna Fuss (Checker)

Can't go wrong with those two! Oddly, I picked up a UK copy of the Sugar Pie on Monday.

[someblokecalledfuz]

Gary Walker - She Makes Me Feel Better (lovely fuzzy belter - spare)

Gary Walker - You Don't Love Me (slower and fuzzy - still a belter and also spare)

Lee go on put theses aside fer me! Per - lise

Edit: beaten to it...

[Bud Peyote]

That Giant Crab seems to be as common as a wunderlich-lp over there on the island... 50p for this one too?
unfair.

There's a UK copy too - I think mine was 30p a few years back.
