[Matt Hero]

Nice haul John..... myself and Rich hit 3 boot sales on Saturday / Sunday and to be honest I didn't find *that* much..... picked the Major Minor pressing of Rita's 'Erotica' for a quid and a couple of doubles just out of despiration in the end. Oh, and a Two Ronnies LP

[son of stan]

I've got the "Gold Connection" LP on a UK pressing (Charmers). I seem to remember posting about this one before. My copy is credited to (organist) Harold Butler. From memory, my copy says it was a JA recording with additional effects and percussion added in UK (Lloyd Charmers). There's some Eddie Grant involvement. Its a top LP, marred in places by a horribly dated string synth sound.

[Sie Vulture]

Anyone else enjoy a good weekend

... it was as difficult as ever trying to dig in the North East this weekend, an ever-decreasing number of crates to look in, and full of just the 'same old same old'... twinned with the fact that I missed out on everything I was bidding for on eBay did feel like rubbin' salt in a bit Â

Still, the sun did pop out from behind a cloud on Monday and the Redcar booter and charity shops did turn up a few bits. Nothing too exciting, but still worth a mention...

Colourbox "self titled LP" (4AD)
Cabaret Voltaire "The Voice Of America" (Rough Trade)

...a couple of bits from the 80's, I used to love the cut-up sample track "Edit The Dragon" by Colourbox, complete with mad kung-fu chops. The Cab's LP is from 1980, a very early release on the Rough Trade label. "Obsession" - Nice...

2 Live Crew "Live In Concert" (Full Effect)
Community People "Education Wrap" (Delmar 12-inch)

... a couple of rap bits that couldn't be more chalk and cheese! The 2 Live LP is just stooopid, sex, sex and more sex I suppose... The 12" on Delmar is from 1980, I love the way the label has been printed as "Wrap" rather than "Rap" - hehe! The track is all about getting your grades and graduating from high-school. Musically, it sounds a lot like Rappers Delight. Anyone know anything about this twelve ?? Â

Les Humphries Singers "Mexico" (Polydor)
Helena Vondrackova "Isle Of Helena" (Supraphon)

Hmm, jury's still out on this two... the title track on the Les Humph LP has some mad flange effect thing going on that got my already alcoholic-battered mind all frothy. The Czech LP from '71 is loaded with Bacharach covers and a Czech-language version of The Beatles "Honey Pie" that just confused me... (easily done)

... not a bad couple of hours in the sun !

Intriguing - be interesting to know if your copy has those annoying synths John, or whether they did the usual import job of adding strings for the UK market.

My haul wasn't the best I've ever had from Matt's booters but I have to buy records regardless so...

45's

Shocking Blue - Venus/Hot Sand (p/s)
Ides Of March - Vehicle
White Plains - er? (only bought 'cos it's a Deram promo)
Georgie Fame - Seventh Son
CBS promo with a Peddlers track
Avenue promo
Wayne Fontana And The Mindbenders - Game Of LOve

LP's

Titanic - er, again (pretty underwhelmed by the 'breaks' to be honest)
Various - You Can All Join In (Island comp)
Tubeway Army LP with 'Are Friends Electric?'
Gladys Knight And The Pips - Pipe Dreams
two Ike And Tina LPs
Leon Thomas LP (on Philips from Flying Dutchman, with Pretty Purdie on skins)
Disco Dynamite LP (with Dippin' Wet - spare)
Geoff Love - Big Terror (spare)
Bodacious D.F. (spare)

And my second National Youth Jazz Orchestra LP in a month (this one's Live At LWT from 1975). Both LPs have some really good moments and the LWT LP features compositions by Mike Vickers, John Cameron, etc. Anybody know any others I should be looking for???

Finally, a couple of bad punts. Three Billy Vaughn LPs without anything as good as Soulful Strut or Time Of The Season (for my teadance set at the local Derby And Joan...). And a Marcia Griffiths live double LP. Which I didn't realise was missing the first LP until I got it home - duh!

Cheers for the hospitality Matt and Cas!

[La-Soul-Fiend]

quote from John Stapleton: Hortense Ellis - I'm still in love with you (TUUUUNE&#33

Choon indeed kiddo, is this the UK press with Janet Kay's sublime version of Minnie's "Loving You"? Cant find mine right now as it's deep under a pile of roots 45's in the loft but it's on some reissue label. Still is a heck of a double whammy 45.

My weekend was pretty cool as it turned out. Started Thursday with a little set down in Notting Hill Gate way to a crowd of around 150 punters who certainly came to par-tay and just about dug all the funky nuggets thrown at them without mercy.
Friday was wicked as it was the evening I got my second viewing of City of God in the west end, cannot say enuf how much I loved this film the first time I saw it so I did it again!
Saturday started as a sobering experience as a few friends and I holed up in an overtly trendy Islington type bar in Essex road but turned out as one hell of a messy affair with the dj cutting up Queen and Ultravox classics over jiggy hip-hop, original rare groove and old House classics [used to be called Upfront] Top party type mash up with plenty smiling faces and a zillion hands in the air. Sunday saw me hook up with a few people down in the dirty ol' east end. I managed to catch a friend of mine perform some poetry at this open mike session in Spitz and afterwards enjoy dj Yyvan's choice of rootsy selections. Monday was reserved for me and me only, Âspending most of it on the sofa indulging my original obsession of watching movies: checked Tod Browning's Freaks, Leonard Kastle's Honeymoon Killers before finishing off with one from my top 5, Harry Kumel's Daughters of Darkness. Nuff said.
That's what I call a pretty good weekend. Â

[Benicio Del Toffo]

It was a decent weekend for me.

It involved watching United resume their rightful place of ascendancy and the concomitant pleasure of listening to cockney bleating.

And, inspired by the VV community, I made sure to take advantage of the Bank Holiday sunshine and hit my first proper car boots.

So, Saturday I visited a couple of sleepy Lincolnshire towns and hammered the 2nd hand vinyl shop and all the charities I could find (while taking a couple of hours our to watch United). Sunday I walked 3.5 miles to get a bus to a local car boot (repeated this magnificent effort to get home again too&#33 and Monday I did roughly the same to get to a Nottingham car boot.

The haul: (All LPs - I can't be mithered with 45s)

Reader's Digest - TV Music Spectacular (Boxed Set)
Alan Tew Orchestra - Don't Look At Me, Listen To The Music
Amphonic Library - Sounds =80=
Amphonic Library - It's All In The Beat
Discoland Chorus & Disco Company - S/T (Wicked Polish madness)
Perez Prado - Now
James Last - Beachparty 3 / Non-Stop 13
Klaus Wunderlich - The Hit World Of..
Alan Moorhouse - Bond St Brigade
Ocean/Biff Rose/Jaggerz - Put Your Hand In The Hand
Jackie Trent - Golden Hour...
Jose Feliciano - In A Latin Mood
Swingle Singers & MJQ - Place Vendome
Don Lusher & His Big Band - Lusher & Lusher & Lusher
Johnny Dankworth - Lifeline
New Dimension Orchestra - In Search of Far Horizons
Various - Hit Sounds In Stereo for Late Night Listening
Chaka Khan - Chaka
Curtis Mayfield - Short Eyes
Blue Note - Live At The Roxy
Pete Rubinelli & Sapphire Strings - Something Old, Something New
Duncan Lamont & His Orchestra - This Guy

A lot of this will be recycled, so to speak, cos it's not all to my taste, so watch out for the next 'freebie' session I do. Some of it's blinding though (especially the Polish LP) and I have to thank the VV crew for the encouragement to try this car boot caper.

Still, it's me that's got feet covered in blisters and not you lot, so don't be thinking that you'll be getting much more generosity!!

And as for Channel4's '100 Greatest Film Stars' - Tom Hanks 30 odd places above Walken? Fuck off!! Where was Buscemi? How can Harvey have been so low down - this man knocked one out on film fachrissakes! You gotta respect Pacino though, Lefty Two-Guns rides again.

No-one can touch you now, because I represent you.

[wayne]

I can claim four nice finds from the local charities, all the regulation 50 and 99p, and all very much floating my boat for the moment:

The Underground: Beat Party
Max Greger Orchestra: Sunshine Starshine
??: Moog Espana
Lightning Red: Super Guitar...with Brass & Strings

Also a fair bit of stuff that's been added to the trades list (over in the ongoing 'trying to keep that Spring Cleaning Momentum up' thread elsewhere on this site) if anyone's after another copy of Don Reeve's Mighty Hammond, or Geoff Love's Top TV Themes...or some Durham mining anecdotes recorded by Ewan McColl & Peggy Seeger back in the day.

And as for the 100 Greatest Movie Stars, I'm speechless. Ewan McGregor several places above Cary Grant? Tom Hanks in the hundred at all? No Alain Delon or Jeanne Moreau or Catherine Deneuve (or did I blink & miss them?). Eddie Murphy over Richard Pryor? Completely meaningless exercise, if you ask me...

It's on the Conflict label with a dub on the other side - I'm guessing this is the OG UK copy - it's dated 1977.

Just out of interest, what's on the Avenue promo? I'm interested in anything on Avenue at the moment.

NYJO LPs - 'NYJO In Camra' is probably my favourite, if you haven't got it already. John Cameron's 'Fuggles Fantastical Fugue' is the best track on that one.

Thought your ears might prick up Lord Thames. I don't remember what's on it but I'll check - I think a few more Alan Caddy tracks (actually I think I have another Avenue 7" in addition). And if I'm not keen I know where to send them?

[bboy parkz]

Got most of these from 'really good records' and a few from 'The Exchange' in Plymouth.
King Rat/OST
Booked at £50, but this ones got a bit of surface noise (just a few crackles) so I git it for £10. Nice for the Non-Phixion samples.

Rock & Drums/Eleanor Rigby (JVC)
Japanese easy listening LP, with the nice funky/easy track 'Rock Drum No1' and a little break on 'Hitchin a ride'

Belle Eqoque/Miss Broadway
Jazzy Jay released a 12'' in the mid 80's called 'Take a Walk', I always loved this track and love the little femail vocal sample on it. Anyway 15-16 years latter I find myself warming up for Jazzy Jay and ask him what the vocal sample was, but I could never remember the answer cos I was so drunk.Anyway put this (Belle Eqoque/Miss Broadway) on the listening deck today and BAMM there it is straight at the start of side A. So I had to pick it up.

Bette Midler/Thats Entertainment
BBoy style break and nice tune on 'Daytime hustler' Can you belive its taken me years to find a copy of this!

Parry Music Library/On the bright side
At first I thought this was wack, but I was compleatly over looking a nice funky/jazz/lounge style number.Lots of nice bits to sample.

peace
parkz

[agenda]

hey parkz out of interest what Non Phixion samples are on that OST?

cheers
A

[bboy parkz]

King Rat soundtrack: (Mainstream 1965)
* “Touch and Go”
ÂÂÂÂÂNon PhixionÂ’s “5 Boros”

Its got all the samples from '5 Boros' apart from the drums.
Its quite a nice LP (King Rat ) for the year,and the tracks have more of a MAD ILL DRAMA STABS feel to them than you would expect as I belive this is a war film..
Its got all the samples fro
Peace

Yeah - this is the one with a close up picture of his face on the sleeve.

I have another album by him too - this one's OK - the other one 'White hot soul' (I think) has a nice cover of 'Hard to handle' on it.

Dude looks like a Red Indian version of Glen Campbell, other than that, I don't know much more myself.

Dick Jensen was from Hawaii, was the only solo white artist on PIR and that LP was one of the first LP's on the label. Pretty crap though you have to admit !?

Well, I'm never disappointed when I pay 25p for something, but obviously it could have been a lot better. The BB King - also wit hthe same line-up - is miles better, but then I already had the 45 from the album, 'Philadelphia'.

Oh no, course not ladyboyg. It used to be quite sought after among Philly collectors mainly because not many knew about it for a while.

You'll also find some of the best tracks from the Legenday RD box on a pair of LP's on the DJM subsiduary Weekend Records-there's a few details in 70's Kids' T is for Themes pages (Proffesionals section), but no sleeve pic. I have one of 'em, but cant remember if there is anything great on it besides the RD tracks...

seem to be coming across more and more LP's that have strayed from RD boxes with one or two tempters on 'em...any other boxes folk would reccomend?

[QUOTE]Dick Jensen – s/t (produced and written by Gamble/Huff/Bell, featured band is MFSB, but the guy looks like a cowboy Engelbert.

It's funny you should make the connection between Englebert and Philly because Eng did in fact record a Philly album himself. I can't recall the title off the top of my hungover head (....something about miracles?) It's a Silver-Blue production and features an absolute killer of a track, "You are There". (In a similar vein to other Silver-Blue stuff like Lew Kirton "Heaven in the Afternoon&quot. ...I have a mate who won't leave my house until I've played this.

On the subject of that Readers Digest Box Set, check also the rhodes laden version of "M*A*S*H".

[Devil McDOOM]

Might aswell join the thread since I picked up some nice stuff last week, here up north in the center of Sweden. Â

the LPs:

Jean Pierre Massiera - Phantasmes - with the fantastic Mama Ecoute!
Henry Franklin - The Skipper - half decent midtempo break on blackjazz
Animated Egg - S/T - this one is rather evil
Silver Convention - S/T - while this is cute
Curtis Mayfield - Got to Find a Way - and this smooth
Snafu - All Funked Up - and this would be the annoying one

and some 45s:

Sir Mack Rice - Dark Skin Woman - catchy funk with digeridoo on flanger? cool stuff! anyone knows similiar stuff? need more..
The New Way - I'm Sorry 'Bout That/Lookin Like a Nut Nut - solid funk
Boys in The Band - Sumpin Heavy - raw slow funk
Great Expectations - Welcome to The World - male funk
Willard Burton & The Pacifiers - Warm The Pot (Til it Gets Good & Hot) - greeeaat downtempo vocal funk! anyone know if these guys released anything else besides this? probably the best find this week.
Willy Wiley - Push & Shove - another slow funk burner
Benny Sharp & The Sharpies - Music I Like - break

Thats it!

i f**kin love that track too. there are (at least) two versions of it, one on Roxbury and one on Money, one credited to Willard Burton & Pacifiers and the other to Slim & Funky 4, but with slightly different backing tracks although it's the same song by the same credited guy. one is weird and a little psychy (think that's the Money issue) then the other is a chunky, choppy little funker (Roxbury). if you like your version, you'll love the other one... it's a little faster and dirtier.

he also did the downtempo organ funk classic 'Funky In Here', which is brilliant.
