Utrecht "The Finds" November 2010

[Kratgraver]

It all looked very bad on Friday. Fire on the Utrecht train station. So I tough that would ruin my plans for the weekend. Got a call on Saturday from a friend at 5 o'clock telling me trains will ride and the track was partly taken over by buses. So I went to the train station at 7 o'clock and arrived at 9 o'clock in Utrecht. I can tell there where not much people at opening.



Just as last year, I was only after records that are on my want list. I hate to go trough all the euro bins on Utrecht to come home and find out you have bought a lot of rubbish records. Had a few good records which I sold at the fair to some Japanese sellers that made life a bit easier at the fair ...

Met some nice board members and left early not knowing how late I would be home again.

No recent reissues where harmed by only buying OG's





Stanley Turrentine Cherry ... To complete my CTI record collection
Cannonball Adderley The Black Messiah ... David Axelrod production, George Duke on keys, one of the heaviest records he made, a hard spiritual funk record
Pierre Henry Paradise Lost ... Only euro bin find, saw it somewhere else for 40€ in a crate, experimental electronic jazz album, French only from 1982
Button Down Brass Cops 'n' Robbers ... Introduction needed?? Mint copy for a nice price, Ebay + shipping would be more expensive

Pleased it was cheap mate, there was two rough copies in a collection in the back of a shop a few years ago. A dealer grabbed them, £80 for the pair.

This one was a trade, mint copy, 75€

Thats a good deal for a clean copy, it used to be £80 in the RCPG, not sure what it is now though.

[Bud Peyote]

Jens... come on, blow us away.

[Purepop1uk]

Not a bad trip...perhaps a bit more subdued than usual, but some nice bits:

Tinsley -My Brother Mary. Released on Pye in '71, imagine the Kinks singing about cross-dressing in 67 rather than 1970. Nice one
Tom Hartman -Sunshine Woman. Belting melodici fuzz rocker by the Aerovons singer in 1971. Really really good -review soon
Carl Simmons & Rockhouse -Everthing's Alright. He who recorded Madeline (as by Dick Turpin) in revamp of old Mojos tune.OK-ish
MC5 -Kick Out The Jams -French pic sleeve
Easybeats -Music Goes Round My Head. Back by Goo Times in nice Dutch sleeve
Quartet -Joseph -OK Psych Prog with John Kongos like number on flip
Patty Flabbies’ Coughed Engine-Billy’s Got A Goat –fun Bubblegum –Resnick and Levine...
Ransome Head -Sing –the intro fuzz is devastating, then the level drops somewhat...
Crackers –Judy Judy Judy –Invigorating BubbleGlam –Great
Slowload-Big Boobs Boogie –Future Fruit Eating Bear in full frontal stoopid boogie masterpiece
Stevie Wright –Evie parts 1, 2, 3- Nice Dutch sleeve
The Heartbreakers –No Scene At All –OK Kiwi Pub Rock/Pop on Vertigo
Elliott” they asked me to be the next Dylan, but I refused and they chose Springsteen instead”Murphy –Last of The Rock Stars. Still a great song in nice French pic sleeve
Buzz –The Rock Roller Coaster. Never knew that there was a UK release. Supposedly Geoff Appleby forbade it being released in the UK and it was thought that it was only released in Germany –NOT true!
Heart –Hang On. Their first single
Shakane –Down Down Down
Shakane –Love Machine
Mersey Kids –Keep on Rockin’ –Love this one. Melodic French pop rocker lost in time...
Matchmakers –Thank You Baby, Baby Make Me Happy -2 singles by the Mark Wirtz led Bubblegum merchants
Crabby Appleton –Go Back –Heavy powerpop with Michael Fennelly. To be shelved next to my French copy
Lee –Come on Back To Me –companion to their Back in the USA single by a UK/ Belgian combo who supported the NY Dolls back in ’73. The full story coming soon.
Crossbones –Shakin’ All Over
Jeronimo -He Ya –adequate cover of JJ Light tune
Shocking Blue –Good Times. One of the last (or the last?) single by this Dutch rock institution. Good cover of The Easybeats tune
Nightmare –Great Balls of Fire –German pic sleeve
Beano –Little Cinderella –nifty German sleeve
Dummy –Dummy Boy –Camp Nederglam.
The Bear Brothers –Red Shoe Trucken/ Bondiago –Great German pic cleeve. God these guys were proud of their look...
Big Wheel –Shake a Tail Feather –French pic sleeve
Casuals –Tara Tiger Girl –nifty German pic sleeve on this more Move than The Move ace track.
Les Sauterelles –Station on Third Avenue –Swiss band covering the unreleased (at the time) Easybeats classic
Sandwich –Kookie –nice purple vinyl on this bubblegum high point from the Silly Milly Krauts
Hush –Oh Me, Oh My –later German issue (1976) with different B side
BZN –Rolling Around The Band –very Creedence...
City Surfers –Powder Puff +Beach Ball -2 fine mint copies. Ace Surf/ Hot rod creations by Terry Melcher with Jim Mcguinn involvement
Bismarck –Shotgun Express –good N’ Heavy
Marz –Slow Train –fine Kraut Boogie
UFO –Prince Kajuku –I have a certain fondness for early UFO, haven’t owned this one since I was 12...
Big Secret – Ride Captain Ride –Enry and July on cute dance Glam number
The Equals –I can See But You Don’t Know –Cracking Freakbeat
De Cylinders –I Wanna Get Married –nice original on CNR of this Dutch Powerpop classic
Mammoth –Hanna Banana –the B side is more than a steal of Little bit of Soul
Matchbox –Don’t Shut Me Out/ Rod –Nice German pic sleeve, Crazy B side
Mick Jagger –Memo from Turner –again another fab German pic sleeve
Beagle –The Things That We Say –from 1992!!!! I still like their first album and why not have this track on a 45?
Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers –Motor Man EP. Been looking for this for 3 years. Finally...
Killing Floor –Call For The Politicians. Good heavy Boogie call to arms
The Times –Sexy Lady –like a more meaty Bay City Rollers...
Choc –I Want You To Be My Girl –never seen this Dutch pic sleeve before on Pink Elephant
Bonnie St. Claire –Knock On My Door/ Do You Feel Alright. What is an Utrecht fair without a bit of Bonnie? Lovely knitted outfits on this German pic sleeve. The B side should have been the A side in my humble opinion
Fandango –High Class Girl –Good pseudo Glam production by Tony Atkins (Galahad etc...)
Mandi Wilson –Ray of Sunshine –echoey Girl Pop. Nice motorbike sleeve
Teenager –Baby Hold On –Dutch Pop
Blue Swede –Silly Milly –BuggleGlam –same track as by Sandwich
The Biggles –Paula –Interesting moody number. Both tracks written by Corgan (as in The Booby Trap single) , which is in fact a pseudonym for Jaap Eggermont,
Joey Valentine –Going To The Movies –Bright Glam/Eurovision crossover
Lally Stott –Jakaranda –Good groove on A side, while the B side is a real popsyke opus
Napoleon Jones –Lazy Love –Spectorian Soul with 74 tendencies
Johnny Prowse –Days in September. On the Bumble label, the B side steals the show in fine Kinks fashion
Strange Bros Show –Right On – Feldman/ Gottehrer...not much more to report
Linda Kendrick –Sympathy for The Devil –Intruiging take on the Jagger/Richards Satanic majesty –see review elsewhere on the blog
Girlie –Hello Hello. The perfect mix of Luv meets The Runaways...

This one's a real grower IMHO. Give it a few more spins and it'll hopefully rise above OK.

You've been going to Utrecht for a few years now. Do you reckon the dealers have become wise to the 70's stuff you feature on your blog or is it still pretty cheap?

Junkshop glam at junkshop prices or Jokeshop prices?

[Purepop1uk]

Oh...there are always some dealers who have really high prices on 70s singles...mainly the Prog German dealers, still you can find quite a lot around the 3 Euro mark...

or the ones that put the word funky in the description
nice meeting you as always Robin, I apologise if my friend Stefan came off a bit rude.

[wickerman]

....i will return with my finds

[Purepop1uk]

Oh Jens
I think that Tom Hartman I got of you is probably the top of the bunch. Real Killer single

[mr sayers]

....i will return with my finds

[Campag Record]

Soundtrack The Adventurers ... Found a sealed copy of this amazing album 2 minutes after the VG+ meeting, long, long time want , and the price was so good on this

Soundtrack Das Unsichtbare Visier ... One word fantastic !!!

Great finds all round Cees....would have particularly loved to have copped these. I looked round for you as we walked back from the cafe and felt bad that I hadn't even said goodbye but you were obviously already back in the crates and scoring for a great record so I don't feel quite as guilty

[wickerman]

yeah its a great one! Thanks for the Heart single.I think your Paul Ryan single is in my piles!

Don't feel guilty, when we walked back from the cafe my eye caught a crate called Quincy Jones soundtracks, every soundtrack was way to expensive, Italian Job 45€ etc, only the adventurers still sealed was 25€. Totally forgot about you guys for a few seconds and you where gone

[The Divine One]

....i will return with my finds

Be ready for a quick trip to the vomitorium...

I'll try and post up my comparatively measly finds later!!!

Great to finally put some faces to names, shame there wasn't more time to hang out and properly talk shite about records. Still, probably more than made up for it with Lee and Nige (sorry, guys!)...

[mp3000]

Pierre Henry Paradise Lost ... Only euro bin find, saw it somewhere else for 40€ in a crate, experimental electronic jazz album, French only from 1982

Score!

[DOKO*ENO]

sorry i didn't get chance to hook-up with anyone properly. My head was truly wrecked by the scale of the place and it turned into a 4 hour heads-down mish. good to see andrew and serms who i hadnt seen for 2 (or more ) years- and briefly meet jens... all seems like a dream now.

We'll let you off this time mate. I also wouldn't have wanted to break from the digging if my time was limited to just a few hours.

[LDJB]

OK - here's what I struggled home with in hand baggage! Will add comments later
