Weekend Finds 13 / 14 December

[LDJB]

Thought I'd start a thread as I actually found something at the carboot this morning

Nice UK orig of Fat Albert Rotunda - I have the silver covered issue as a spare now, cool Gary Burton foooosion from 1967! A VV / VG+ classic which I couldn't leave behind in such minty nick and a the Sergio with 'Superstition' on it - I thought I was minting up but this is only marginally better than my other copy - still OK for 50p though



Postbox finds - Really enjoying the Mutzie - Dennis Coffey is involved and it shows! The Apple and Appleberry aint my thing, the New Trolls is very good - proper Orch Prog and the Group Image is a mixed bag - the fuzzy fast ones are cool but the ponderous ones are a bit weak I feel.

[Sie-Fly]

nice finds mate - i recently got group image and was very dissapointed to say the least - one tracker for me !

Bit of a quiet record fair on Saturday with a couple of stallholders pulling out due to terrible weather, but managed to pull a dozen 50p 45s, of which these are the highlights:




Danta 'Freeway' slightly tatty spare



Foster Sylvers 'Misdemeanour' - didn't realise there was a UK 45 of this top kiddy soul track.



Pryde 45 - first time I've ever seen this VG+ staple and top bagpipe beat.

A few cheap LPs from the '4 for a tenner' selection:





Ronnie Hawkins from 1971, Hedge & Donna decent folk, 'The Ship', another folk-rock affair which I haven't played yet, late Association LP.


Not in the '4 for a tenner' section, unfortunately, but not a bad price:



Mike Westbrook 'Metropolis' on Neon - another UK jazz gap filled!

and a few nice UK 45s from Friday:



Golden Earrings with nice popsikey B-side



Troggs 'Evil Woman' acetate - a bit tatty but...



Gurus 'Blue Snow Night' - a favourite and a replacement for my US copy.



Dana Gillespie 'You just gotta know my mind' - At last!

[Col Wolfe]

jealous! have seen PageOne related acetates on Emidisc, IBC, Oak & Regency Sound but NEVER with their own special label!

Ah! I don't have 'Evil Woman' on a 45, and lovely typeface used too!

[Brainbomb]

, 'The Ship', another folk-rock affair which I haven't played yet,

Mmmm.. reminds me - several years ago I inherited The Ship from my mum. I kept some J:son Lindh, Johnny Cash and the Nancy&Lee and some other stuff. This one was among the ones I traded in for something or another in a shop. Please tell me it's crappy - or at least if it's good that it isn't really rare. I quite suspect some of the things I traded away might've actually been more to my liking today than back then when I considered most things "folk" to be quite boring...

I listened to it earlier - I liked it, very CSN&Y overall. Not rare though, as far as I can tell.

I concur! Super 'demo-disc' label! Wonder if the acetate is the same take/mix as the issue...

[Benicio Del Toffo]

Just the one for me this week.

Can't be arsed to take a pic and the sleeve's not all that anyway, but I got the EMI/Harvest two-fer of Pretty Things 'SF Sorrow' / 'Parachutes' from Selectadisc.

Not pennies, but a decent bargain nonetheless.

Very, very high quality music.

Now, to sack off this Christmas shopping malarkey and get back to finding some vinyl!

Yeah, you see them everywhere in the States.
I picked one up last time I was over, whilst out with beddoes.
four or five bucks.

Nice record, imho. Sweet, mellow, early 70s electric folk LP with lush harmonies. And an overall 'theme' to the record as well. 'Concept folk' if you will!

[medlar]

A few bits:

Gloria Lasso a Mexico (45 ep) Apparently Gloria was a big star back in the day in France. Music very much of its time (60's), the track "La Mosquita Muerta" is good fun.

Orlando (45 ep) Another French ep with a song entitled "La Amour Fait La Loi" (Apache).
Yes, that Apache

Gino and Lucille - Bamba Disco (12") Oh yes, this rocks

The Gospelaires of Dayton, O - God Helps Those Who Help Themselves (12")
From 1978 a classic bit of uplifting disco. How come it has taken me 30 years to even know this existed Great stuff

[Campag Record]

But I do like that one track

Great 12 and an old fave of mine - love the way it builds

[effi_deep]

few bits from friday.

lps:

martin denny - a taste of honey (very enjoyable jazzy easy listening/exotica lp. good version of take five)
crabby appleton - same (still sealed og lp. had it on my wantlist for a while. very solid record. "try" is for the prog dancefloor. go back is cool as well. hoep to find that nice doublesider 45 soon as well )

45s:

lord sutch & heavy friends - rock the election (cool easy rocky twotracker)
underground sunshine - rotten woman blues (this is soo good. psychy easy business here at its best)
duffy - rock solid (nice 45 of the very rare french lp. produced by steph sulke. headnoddingly good)

[alanmck]

"Peter Gunn" 45 by Johnny Frigo, on Orion. it's a bit beat but 'twas cheap. very Mancini arrangement, which gets louder and more latin as the 1 minute 48 seconds fly past. it also has sax.

yeah - - i had a listen to the LP in a shop and decided against it but have my hopes set on finding a copy of that 45 cheap - -"try" was great, as i remeber it!

It's not Prog, though, surely??

[effi_deep]

no. but "try" has a strange proggish feeling with its high heavy vocals

[Col Wolfe]

uptempo blues/rock, no more, no less
