[effi_deep]

(gives the lad a round of applause...)

Nowt much for me this weekend - time restricted due to flights, fog and family. But, did find 5 mins to walk past a market stall and walk away with this...



... so an evening of flutey French prog awaits me..!

this is very much loved here sie!

[Sie Vulture]

Thanks Sevi...

I've got a bit more work to do then I'm gonna step up to the decks and spin this...

[highland cow]

Good US funky rock 2 sider

I got a copy of this recently and really like it too.

Prefer The Chamber Bros. cover on the other side but both are good.

Turns out the vocalist ended up being an actor and is now something of a cult hero for fans of Battlestar Galactica!

[LDJB]

Great finds Lee mate, hope you enjoy that Baby Huey as it's great!

Cheers Craig - the Baby Huey is a reiss from a £ bin - it will be part of my daughters boyfriends Xmas pressie I've got a nice orig myself

[mr sayers]

I've got a nice orig myself

A UK one I hope!

[jakartajive]

Haven't posted any of the recent Interweb purchases here the last few weeks as that seems to be cheating really, but have just returned from a weekend at my old man's, where I took in a large booter on a lovely crisp Saturday morning.

Mostly it was the usual chuff, along with a few optimistic punts . . .



BBC Decimilisation training disc for the shopkeppers of the land
Vangelis - Spiral (spare)
Boz Scaggs and Band - 1972 LP
The Lighthouse - The Word of God (Xtian / gospel thing outta Detroit)


Judy Collins - Both Sides Now (late outing - 1981 - but has some interesting covers, so why not for 20p)
Jose Feliciano - Souled
Hammond Fever on Deacon
Today's Vogue (1970 comp of French hits including Jacques Dutronc, Les Charlots, Antoine, Martin Circus and . . . um . . . Petula Clark)

Very pleased to pick this up.



The two takes on Big Noise from Winnetka are dark noir crime jazz classics.

Bunch of random 45s, which I've not had time to sift through yet:



Nico Fidenco - Legata A Un Granello Di Sabbia / Ridi, Ridi
Russian thing in Cyrillic
Dave Clark Five - Everybody get Together / Darling I Love You
The Naturals - Didn' I ? / I should've Known Better
The Lemon Pipers - Rice is Nice / Blueberry Blue
Brenton Wood - Gimme Little Sign / I Think You've Got Your Fools MIxed Up
Tom Jones - Detroit City / If I had You
Tommy James & The Shondells - Mony. Mony / One Two Three and I Fell
Preston Epps - Bongos in Pastel / Doin' the Cha Cha Cha
Rolling Stones flexi to promote Exile on Main Street

Quite pleased to turn up a Darrow Fletcher 45.
Not his best, but nice nevertheless.







And slightly stunned and most elated to find this at the back of a pile of crap for 20p!!!

[BestDressedChicken]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HUGH

Well done mate! Find of the bloody year!

[MPFlapp]

picture of Ame Son "Catalyse"

... so an evening of flutey French prog awaits me..!

All the Utrecht copies were expensive or rubbed up - otherwise I'd have had that to go with my MEV "Leave the City"

bobak, jons, malone - motherlight ( very clean OG copy of this monster psych/prog lp. it was well worth the 30£ thanks to the unknown vg+ vulture who once recommended this to me!)

randy burns - an uncertain lady (finally upgraded my dodgy italian boot of this. magical record. my favorite by burns)

I'd have had the mothlight too - Randy Burns is a winner - I only have the ESP LP - "Lady" is on my list - top scores

The Swiss fares I've been to have been fairly good - proper quality records at good prices - I had to be dragged out of one at the far end of lake Geneva - found it by accident en-route to a "romantic" walk round the lake...

EDIT - just spotted the Icarus - did you haggle

[mr sayers]

There's a great track on that Boz Scaggs Hugh mate.

[highland cow]

Icarus 20p.


I'm weeping!

Not really - Well done Sir! It what keeps us all getting our fingers dirty.

[effi_deep]

Randy Burns is a winner - I only have the ESP LP - "Lady" is on my list - top scores

if you want my boot john, just pm me your adress

[diggerdumper]

I bought from him once. I'm in the USA. He didn't comply with my requested packing instructions to remove the record from the cover before packing in order to avoid seam splits, and naturally, the record arrived with badly split seams. When I informed him of it, he offered no apology, mea culpa, or partial refund. Instead, he claimed to have sacked the boy employee who had packed it! Seriously!
I've never dealt with the man again, and un-bookmarked his site.

Hmm, reckon it's a case of 'If in doubt, leave it out' here, thanks for that moe!

Now back to the finds...

[kenneth]

Icarus 20p.
omfg well done that man.

[The Divine One]

Great finds Lee mate, hope you enjoy that Baby Huey!

Bah, there was a 45 of Hard Times ar Utrecht but I was all spent out...

[Brainbomb]

With shops like these, who needs Utrecht?

After my success in one local shop during the Utrecht weekend I popped by another one this weekend - the owner just back from Utrecht, and having just placed out lots of new arrivals. Doubt any of them came from the fair, as he said the prices were high on most things. This is what I treated myself to:

East of Eden - Mercator Projected / SNAFU
Yeah I know - it's a later 2LP pressing compiling first 2 records, but it's also a relatively cheap way to get both records compared to picking up 2 separate OGs. Good prog on the first record (I can now replace my reissue) and surprised to hear them go out in more jazzy (especially free-jazzy) territory on the second one.

Gil Scott-Heron - From South Africa to South Carolina
My 2nd Gil record - and another wonderful soul/jazz/groove offering. It's well known here I suppose - I'm just late ticking off a lot of good artists off my mental list.

Animated Egg - S/T
Alshire cash-in psych alert. Replacing my uglier version of this album released under the name Black Diamonds - yes, I do believe it's exactly the same record with different bandname and sleeve but haven't played back to back yet.

Tomasz Stanko - Twet
Polish avantgarde jazz - at times droney and dark, other times freejazzy and sometimes groovy.

Bill Holt -Dreamies
I suppose an OG copy of this will be impossible to find so this reissue will have to do. It's a wonderful electronics meet folk kinda thing with sound collages, synthesizer sounds, acoustic guitars and all kinds of things melted together into a truly trippy mellow experience that probably most members of this board would find interesting. Recorded in 1973 an way ahead of its time - think a stoned Bruce Haack meets a mellow folksinger with a bit of John Cage thrown in. Listen to a soundclip here:

[Sie Vulture]

I found one of these at the booter on Sunday - just got around to listening to it - what a smashing little surprise..!



The opening track "I Think I'm In Love" written by one of the school pupils is a right proper synthy disco number..! Good stuff.

[Sie Vulture]

Sorry - the Microwave album is a private press album by the Thomas Wolsey School Band (Ipswich). Early 80's...

Nice find

Yeah nice find - worth a bit too. It should easily convert into a nice little pile of record tokens if you dangle it over at Waxidermy.

[Plainstone]

Just back from a week in Melbourne and here's a selection of what I picked up, plus one snap of some trades action from Waxi.

Any questions, just holler.

Big 'uns



I took a stack of RPs up to the listening station at one shop and the one with the drabbest cover had the winning track.
Lexical Music is treated voice samples in a Terry Riley/Steve Reich style.



Aussie upgrades



Raer and reissue





These from Waxi.


little 'uns









Flip of this last one is a stonker.
A-side is awful and on youtube if you dare.

[Sie Vulture]

I bet one or two of you wouldn't have minded, back in the day, limbering-up with Fenella, eh. Eh. Eh..?

[Sie Vulture]

Good work Iain, nice finds - glad you enjoyed Melbourne - a great city IMO.

[Expiry2011]

Aussie upgrades

Great finds - would love a copy of the Tasmin Connection

Did you know that the two Don Burrows Quartet recrords as the same?
The one with the salmon pink swirly cover is a later issue of the one with the photos of the band on it
