[mr sayers]

Good stuff, I've been after a copy for a few years now. Several great tunes on there that I've heard - Hammerhead, Barracuda etc...

A fave of mine one side is solid. Great find.

[Per]

Some good stuff there, I was just listening to that ramsey lewis this morning. Been looking for that Riedel/Johansson myself, got another jazz-ballet LP by them (Rörelser) which is great.

Hey! I've got a copy of dansa med tv if you're interested. Hit me up with trades.

[jon100]

hello. first time on the board. not so much a boot sale find but got he6 baby doll of gemm.com.
its a limited repress. number 966 of 1000.

[someblokecalledfuz]

Some bloke spent less than I did on records but walked home with an enormous pile nevertheless. Hope you liked some of it.

Well, here's what I brought back from Copenhagen, with a day trip to Malmo. Many thanks to Mr. Brainbomb, who was a true gent and an excellent host. Without him we wouldn't have made it to a very cool thrift store where I found the following...


The Last Run soundtrack, well known I believe... good crime jazz / cop show stuff by jerry Goldsmith.

Berry Lipman for Dancing - Happy Party music, rather good in a easy listening way, I suspect Lord Thames will know & like this one...

Top Hits 71 - Al Shapiro and his Orchestra - A rather pleasant surprise as the usual bog standard cover versions included decent goes at Neathanderal man, All right now and 24 or 6 to 4, aswell as a great original called Girl I've got news for you

A Soupy Sales record - I've always wanted to hear him after reading about him in Cool and strange music fanzine.

and a couple of bad Swedish seventies folk / pop bands with matching uniforms, sleeves were better than the music - you were right of course Mr. Brianbomb!!!



Then it was on to the Swedish record stores, all of these came from the cheapie boxes, all a couple of quid

Thomas Jefferson Kaye - First grade, two or three good country rock tunes.

Charlie D. and Milo - S/T, this one may take a while to sink in soft country sike light, might describe it...

Randy Burns and the Sky Dog Band - S/T, bought this on a memory of Belson talking about one good track on the album, but I can't find it...

Gunhill Road - S/T, rubbish avoid at all costs

Pugh - Pughish, excellent and well known and revered round these parts, abit scuffed so cheap, plays fine though...

Best of CCS, needs no introduction

The Quinaimes Band - S/T, funky rock, lovin one tune in particularly

Ned - S/T, rubbish

Lovecraft - We love you whoever you are, singer is Lalomie Washburn, just a bit too much synth and disco for me, but certainly has appeal.

The Kids - Anvil Chorus, ball out rock mostly, but surprisingly adept and varied, but my god they're ugly!

The Family Dogg - S/T, as someone else noted on here this week, despite the crack sessioners and members of Led Zep, this record sucks.

Sunday Funnies - S/T, I think I like the second album better but this still has great funky rock moments. Anyone know how many albums these guys put out?

The Human Condition - Working people gonna rise! A small label american folk protest record, surprisingly strong and a quick google shows the smithsonian have archived it!

Raices - S/T, latin jazz rock of the most furious sort, for serious jazzers...

Nashville Gold - Switched on moog, with a version of polk salad annie how can you go wrong?

Crowfoot - Find the Sun, more solid funky country rock

Pugh & Rainrock - Ett Steg Till, recommended by Brainbomb, and it's good too, especially their version of what appears to be a Meters song - Afrika, although I can't recall the original version

Waterloo - S/T, odd record, poppy, proggy, bonkers, gonna have to listen again...

Also picked up Bernt Staf and Pryde 45's



and so to Copenhagen

The fleas threw up...

Sebastian - Den store flught, on harvest, appears to be Danish hippy folk, quite nice in parts, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Demos 23, Rode Mor, Linie 3 - Dunno much about this Danish protest music from the early seventies with fuzz bass in parts. Pretty good but verges on cabaret a bit... Any Danes fill me in on the story on this one?

Tommy Seebach - Wheels, loving his version of Baby elephant walk, funky as and appearing at the next Eclectic Mud and no mistake... Has this fella done anything else worth while? Calling all Danes...



I managed the central and Norrebro branches of Accord but Second Beat was closed when I got there!

The woman in the Norrebro branch sure doesn't like her job does she?!
Still managed to bag the following without breaking the bank.

Dansons a Brasilia - Help. latin cover versions of Beatles, stones etc

Tommy James & the Shondells - Travelin, been looking for a cheap copy for a while.

Bethlehem Asylum - Commit yourself, so far underwhelmed by this...

and a couple of 45's

Jericho Jones - Time is now / Freedom, Funky Rawk
Chris Hodge - We're on our way / Supersoul, bought on your advice Lee - Good advice!

And on the way back from the airport, dropped in to a local chazza when I went out for a pint of milk and brought back...

Moog at the Movies - Synthetic sounds, excellent version of Superfly
Great TV Themes - The Tony Osbourne Sound, enjoyable versions of Star treck, Hawaii 5-0 and the theme to Coronation street!!!

[BeatsDeluxe]

and a couple of bad Swedish seventies folk / pop bands with matching uniforms, sleeves were better than the music

Dansband!

[Brainbomb]

Dansband!

Yes - and yes, I told him he would regret himself for carrying these back to Scotland...

[Lord Thames]

Berry Lipman for Dancing - Happy Party music, rather good in a easy listening way, I suspect Lord Thames will know & like this one...

Oh yes, I know Lipman's work well - not sure if I have this one, though, but a lot of his stuff was recycled from LP to LP. A fair bit of it also appeared as library music on Selected Sound.

Tell me more about this Al Shapiro Orchestra LP - it sounds very interesting! I'd like to hear the version of '25 or 6 to 4' if I can, as there's a particular version I'm trying to track down at the moment......

This is Tommy Seebach's finest moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGzGfym-7Y

The Shapiro album is devoid of any info.... on Karussell, stereo 2495 009, with pictures of vegtables on it.

I'll get a mp3 to ya Lord T soon as I can... bare with me though.

That Tommy Seebach sure is a cheesy dancer...

That I believe to be... "The Badger"

[highland cow]

Bethlehem Asylum - Commit yourself, so far underwhelmed by this...

I'm with you on this one.

Great name - cool sleeve - looks the business.

But it's a boring boring record.



Look's like the others will more than make up for it though.

[highland cow]

Three Degrees "Collage" - ace trippy faux-Rotary Connection downer soul.

An amazing 45!!

Did you get a US copy?

Doesn't look like there was a UK issue but I'm willing it to exist........

[TOWNY]

I've got the UK LP on mojo ?

[highland cow]

I've got the UK LP on mojo ?

Are there any other Rotary Connectionesque tracks on the album like "Collage"

I've only got the 45 and the other side is pants so I've not really tried to try and track the album down.

Now that I know there's a nice Uk pressing on Mojo I may try a bit harder!

[TOWNY]

Are there any other Rotary Connectionesque tracks on the album like "Collage"

No

[highland cow]

No

Damn.

45's rule!!!



Just had a check and it looks like there are 3 UK Mojo 45's.

None of which have Collage on em'

[Tom B]

That LP also has 'You're the fool' on, which is great - more straight up funky soul than Minnie Riperton though. Which is not altogether a bad thing imo...

Always thought 'You're the fool' was the best track on there - must dig it out and check 'Collage'

Brilliant - ta! By the looks of it, there may be an RKM/El Chicles connection, which makes it all the more interesting.......

[Willy-Fogg]

Always thought 'You're the fool' was the best track on there - must dig it out and check 'Collage'

Collage is a winner. I've got a spare copy of the LP too if anyone's interested(?)

Collage is a cover of a James Gang track which is on the LP with Funk #49. The original's good but the Three Degrees version is something else.

WF

[Tom B]

Always thought 'You're the fool' was the best track on there - must dig it out and check 'Collage'

The title track 'Maybe' is nice melodramatic spoken word soul - includes the line 'as evil as a wet hen'

'Collage' is good - but listening to it just now the congas on the left channel are really irritating. Constant & slightly out of rhythm (or is that just me...)

[Mang]

An amazing 45!!

Did you get a US copy?

Doesn't look like there was a UK issue but I'm willing it to exist........

Not a UK copy but not a US one either. It's on Roulette, has a blue/silver label and looks like it's probably a Philips/Phonogram Euro press with one of those three pronged centre thingys.

[Brainbomb]

Pugh & Rainrock - Ett Steg Till, recommended by Brainbomb, and it's good too, especially their version of what appears to be a Meters song - Afrika, although I can't recall the original version

Maybe this one isn't so well known abroad? I thought I should elaborate a bit.

It's a 2LP live recording (with many tracks not on any other albums) from 1975, so well after his prime. It is patchy. But it does have some great songs on it, including the mentioned afro-rock-funk-psych track. I also like Storseglet which is a 10 minute long slow psych-groove. Some other tracks are also good - but it also has some more bland kinda more mainstreamy songs and a couple of (albeit short) pure novelty numbers that probably are no fun if you don't understand the Swedish lyrics - and maybe not even then. (Though I kinda like'em).

Conclusion: not worth spending any real money on, but I seem to find it quite often in cheapie bins and bootsales in the south of Sweden and it's certainly worth picking up for cheap.

[cellardweller]

nothin' rare or pricey just good grooves in great condition for 40 year olds

[Mark the Res]

All I found today was that some boot sale sellers now think €2 each for scratchy sleeveless common 45s is the going rate because 'they're collectors items'

Hey! You have a choice - just don't buy em - simple - hey presto........
