    Default December finds

    It seems fitting that I should kick off this months finds with what is going to be my last find for a while
    After a sandwich with BestDressedChicken I couldn't help myself and I checked out some charity shops
    In the Christmas section of one I found this:

    http://www.popsike.com/ROGER-ROGERNI...677670214.html

    I thought it looked interesting for a quid

    Its completely mad and insane and bonkers and has nothing to do with Christmas in any way at all as far as I can tell
    Daft electronic noises that may or may not sound like Dinosaurs, horses, the pussy, ducks etc.


    And like that....he's gone

    Great find, I love this album! Thanks for reminding me, I just put it on my turntable after reading your post, anticipating (animal) Christmas.

    Well, for at least 12 months we're told...

    Nice find to finish on BTW.

    It seems fitting that I should kick off this month's finds with what I'm hoping will be a continuing run of nice singles for a quid over the next year...

    Some finds from yesterday, a few not pictured - will add on if I get time later or tomorrow.....


    Rare UK folk, nice condition overall, some twee-ness, but two tracks that grab my ear-lugs. Really pleased with this, will have tp listen proper to decide fully.

    Not bought much jazz for a while so was happy with these few....










    For your records, this private 45 is terrible!!

    No - it came from the Oxfam in Marlyebone High Street - I had another meeting there after I left you - if anyone is interested there were some other libraries - fairly late for me but maybe up someone else's street

    So there may still be some goodies in the Angel charities

    Yeah, cheers Lord. Coming in at the end of the year I think the Dolphy is my fave find of the year - an incredible LP.
    Only had a quick needle drop of the Bolivian LP, but side c is an excellent listen thus far. Superbly packaged - do you rec any other titles in the series??

    was on a work trip down the line to Wellington yesterday and managed to squeeze in a quick, erm, three hour detour to a wonderfully ramshackle 2nd hand emporium - all tettering towers of dusty vinyl interwoven with equally tettering towers of books, hairdryers, shoes and crockery.

    scored myself 35 7's (at two bucks a go) after deciding to forgo the umpteen stacks of albums for another time. besides, most of them were buried under avalanches of cassettes.

    anyway, among the gems I found:
    John Shakespeare Orchestra (Decca) Number One Theme/ Fade Out - bloody amazing
    The Gladiators (Direction and with Ilford Palais stamp) As Long As I Live (I Live for You)
    Mongo Santamaria (Direction and stamped as above) Cloud Nine
    Bugaloos (Capitol) Theme from the Bugaloos - for very, very old times sake
    Tony Camillo's Bazuka (A&M) Dynomite Pts 1&2 - niceness
    Mel and Tim (Concord) Backfield in Motion - mo' niceness
    The Animals (Decca) Inside-Looking Out/ Outsider - rockin'
    Cupid's inspiration (NEMS) My World ...is now complete
    Earl Grant (Brunswick) Hunky Dunky Doo/ The End - looking for his stuff after a recent posting here
    Tommy James and the Shondells (Roulette) Crystal Blue Persuasion/ I'm Alive - still after Don Fardon's version of the b-side but this'll do in the meanwhilst
    The Pete Jolly Trio (Choreo) Little Bird
    Los Bravos (Decca pre-release sample) Bring a Little Lovin'/ Black is Black
    The Trade Winds (Red Bird) New York's a Lonely Town
    Redbone (Epic) Witch Queen of New Orleans - really liking the b-side Chant: 13th Hour
    The Move (Deram) Night of Fear

    a grand time was had by all. OK, just by me then...

    All of them. They don't pop up often in the UK though, and in Germany they seem to know that they're pricey. The Eastern Europe title - Orient Okzident is incredible, Musik der Pontos Griechen - a Greek title is amazing, but this is one of the few labels where I think it's worthwhile to have the whole run. I'm working on it.

    Is the Out There Esquire pressing considered the original UK pressing, or was there a New Jazz UK pressing as well. I'm not really up on this era of UK Jazz pressings.

    I need to get back to posting finds.

    Excellent, will certainly keep an eye out for more of them now.

    The Out There is the UK original issue, I am fairly certain (have never seen) that nothing came out on New Jazz in the UK. Esquire have nice clear pressings, certainly on this one any way. Cover needs a bit of TLC, but the music is awsome - that's me back into buying jazz!!

    Crikey, that price has dropped... I can remember back in 2002-3 being offered 250 quid for mine by a dealer who said he could turn a profit on that!

    I'm a fan of it too, I nearly used some of the spoken word for my latest Xmas swap mix.

    Mines signed by the branch manager (I think they all are though!).

    There is this strange thrift store in my neighbourhood that seems to be specialised in very ugly furniture, but has some vinyl. Never bought any there before until last wednesday:



    Markus Kunkler: Swiss private/loner pressing. The solo piano pieces are a bit hobbyist Keith Jarrett, but he uses overdubs of fender rhodes, guitar and percussion on some tracks. one of them is really good. Interesting and sweet in a talented enthusiastic music teacher kind of way (probably xtian, but in an tolerable way). He also manages to use the pan flute in an okay way on one track, believe it or not (I never thought that's possible).

    Florence Foster Jenkins: Probably needs no explanation.

    Staïffi et ses Mustafa's: Odd "cha cha cha oriental" exotica novetly record sung in french arab and (strangely) italian from a time when the orient according to the west was not a threating dark place but a colorful fairy tale world full of funny lil' men with funny turbans and exotic belly dancing beauties.

    Black blood: A.I.E. Belgian afro disco from 1976. This track has an interesting story that leads from Yamasuki over Bananarama to the theme of the world cup in south africa. This is the not so interesting middle part.

    Ladies of the Burlesque: Cheapo compilation of snippets from Hollywood musicals. I like the odd combination of the front and rear cover (see below for rear cover), logo, name, and especially the little box with the explanations 1., 2. and 3. on the rear cover.
