July 2013 Finds

[Mang]

I left behind a Galliard and the Hokus Poke album for 1.50 each at a second-hand shop in E17 once.
Did pick up The Dog That Bit People and Group 1850 "Agemo's Trip..." for the same price though.

[LDJB]

Killing it there Nige!

Well Jealous of the Gailliard - as I told you I managed to miss out on a copy somehow even though it had been 'put aside' for me. What I've heard of it is excellent!

Cheers for the Sadista!

Looks like July is panning out to be a great month for everyone.

Last UK finds of the summer before I head off to dig in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Manila.

First up is quite possibly my best Discogs buy to date. $6 bought me this funky spiritual jazz classic. Was convinced it would be the reissue or destroyed. Thankfully it's neither!

[Brainbomb]

Nice finds! I bought that Boosey & Hawkes just days ago myself - I quite like more or less the whole thing.

[Rich Hero]

Nice selection, as usual, Mark.

Carolyn Hester - That's My Song - Early folk LP.

...Is that the second this thread? What's it like? I saw a cheap copy yesterday and the cover looked familiar, from here, but the sleeve notes didn't inspire me and there were other things to spend my money on so I left it. Was that a mistake?

I've had it Rich - bored me but my folk tolerance is low - just seemed a bit average to me - stick with the Coalition I say

[LDJB]

I've not had too much in recently - partially through choice and partially through there apparently being no good records in Scotland. Anyway I've been watching myself since Effi told me off

Here's some LPs



The OST was a Sayers tip off - thank you sir!
The String Beat - hurrah for Waxi set sales - it was about 50% of the price I've seen them for at Utrecht and in great nick! A well known LP round these parts but ones that's always escaped my grasp until now.
Lee Mason library - not the 'Shady Blues' one (I've already got that one...where's the smug smilie?) but pretty damned good! Am I right in saying that Lee Mason is a pen name for Pete Moore? Here's a sip - not the best track but the only one I could find

Electrifying / Explosive Hits - now I normally wouldn't touch stuff like this with a barge pole but these being exotic (to me) Australian comps I had to give them a go at 50p each for the stuff I didn't recognise or looked interesting:

Sir John is a minty spare - shout if needed - yours for P&P

Kenny Durham is a US orig pulled out of a charity - not my cuppa at all (despite the lovely sleeve) - as above free to an interested party for P&P.

45s



The Third Booth - ace shouty garage punker - many thanks to Paul Treeboy for this.
The Peeps - Rainbows - UK band US release - nice psychy effort with great organ
Ray Sharp - Earthquake - well know around here.
The Rogers - a Sayers spin - ta mate.
The Federals - the Climb - UK RnB band do a Coasters cover.
The Three Good Reasons - Nowhere Man - I can't resist a Beatles cover...and I didn't.
and at the extreme right a brace of reissues both of which are excellent!!

Sick score on the Bubbha Thomas. I have the 1978 Best of, which is semi-rare in itself. But would love an OG CFC.
btw, you mean someone had it on discogs.com for $6?? wow.

[mr sayers]

Nice finds as usual there Lee mat, That Chappell sounds great, what's the rest like?

Lee Mason is allegedly Pete Moore BTW.

No solid but lots to like on it mate - you'd dig it.

Whoops, sorry I got that kind of wrong. I just checked to be sure and it was actually $8.25

Apologies!!

Sick score on the Bubbha Thomas.

What Matt (any just about everybody else) is saying - that is a great find for f'all money. Well fished out of a big pond. I've never seen one in the wild, have got one of the 45's bought cheap in the US but that's about as close as I've got.

What's the deal with the Dilla thing..? Is there an auction or something..?
