My fave is that little track at the end of side one... "Fura De Fira"...

I'm still hoping to pull it out of some thriftshop or bootsale crate where all records are less than £4 each...You might want to popsike it first tho Craig...

It could happen...
I waited 5+ years for Fantastic Party, and had already given up when it happened 3 times in one year. (Surplus copies not with me any longer - search Scotland).
So maybe I will soon give up and strike luck?
Zapatta Schmidt
Indeed it could... every nation has it's equivalent to "Moody"...
(ie a record that should be everywhere and frustratingly is not...)

Haha - I just wonder how many times I flicked past it 15 years ago when I had no idea what it was and maybe more into other types of music??Indeed it could... every nation has it's equivalent to "Moody"...

Had a lovely day visiting various god forsaken Tameside backwaters by foot and train yesterday and actually found a few worthwhile charity shop records while I was at it. OK, maybe they're not quite up to the standards of many VGplussers but we all can't be finding rare Polish prog LPs for pennies at Maltese carbooters all the time can we?
Oh yeah, warning: this post contains possibly the least cool LP ever to be posted on VG+.
First find of the day and something I'd wanted for a while.
No idea if this is any good, but couldn't pass up for 50p.
"Musique Concrete and Sound Patters composed and recorded by Desmond Leslie" Yep, the guy behind my very favourite Trunk Records LP.
Surprisingly listenable.
Probably not very good but bought as yet another addition to my cheesecake collection rather than the music anyway.
Back to VG+ territory here. Very pleased to find this. Had the original Stax Records and have always regretted selling it on.
What it says on the tin.
Very nice folky christian record (with a break).
Two more Sounds Orchestral LP for the pile. Both with the usual cheap, awful and irrelevant World Record Club artwork.
Some groovy moments here.
Paid £1 for this (most expensive purchase of the day). Contains the full 7 minute "Total Eclipse of the Heart". A great song.
Don't know what this is. Guessing it either jazz and/or funk. Probably mediocre.
90% rubbish private pressing saved by a nice upbeat pop number on the B side.
Best finds of the day BAR NONE. Two LP long Egyptian Islamic spiritual epics with amazing vocals. These records are brilliant, think I've got a new favourite vocalist, Om Kolsoum.
Not a bad comp I guess.
Classic single, nice to have a loud 45rpm cut of this song.
Contains a version of "Wave" so I figured worth a 45p gamble. Ain't played it yet.
Playing as I type and so far it sucks.
A christian LP of some sort...

oh, i think you're in for avery pleasant surprise there... check "Also Sprach Zarathustra"

I couldn't guess which one you meant so...
Nice finds - Om Kalsoum and stuff...

Those Om Kalsoum LPs, despite being in pretty poor condition, are one of my best finds in ages. Really good stuff.
I've wanted to post something in this section for ages, but never thought I've had a haul worth sharing, but as I got a few gems yesterday I figured "why not?" Worse that could happen is I'd totally humiliate myself (again)...

I found a copy of that 2nd Om Kolsoum in a French vide grenier last summer and still haven't gotten round to listening to it as I wasn't overly optimistic from it's cover I guess - suddenly looking forward to hearing it now.
Ages since I played the Henry Duke thing but seem to recall there being one quite decent track on this.
Boy George knew my father

Only two
Jody Grind - Far Canal - LP - (Transatlantic)
This is a blinder of an LP - had the old "Where's my loon pants" urge two songs in - "Jump Bed Jed" is a monster track... the rest is solid too...
Negative Space - Hard, Heavy, Mean & Evil - LP - (Castle)
Quite a bit more rocky than I expected, but in a primative stylee - still has a healthy lashing of fuzz in there... might need a few more listens...
"It's all just one big plastic hassle..." - Psych-Out
Chocolate Rain
John mate, do they do a version of 'Light my fire' on here?Negative Space - Hard, Heavy, Mean & Evil - LP - (Castle)
