The Small Faces - The Singles Album
The Meters - Trick Bag (Charity find!&#33
Play Away - S/T - Superstition is a cool track
The Shadows - Out of the Shadows

3 Hur El - Hurel Arsivi - This seems to be a Turkish group. This has got tons of drum breaks and cool passages, I'm not a big fan of the vocals, however, they don't entirely spoil the LP.

This is their rarest 45 - 'Numbers' is a heavy fuzz-rocker - seen it go on ebay for £40+ but can get it for a fiver if you search around

Know Soul/Purple Daze 12" - been after this for donkeys - found one on the net in Italy
Equipe 84 - Buffa 7" - nice beats/buzzflute
Hosanna - Hipit 7" - funk trade
Vanity Fare - Megowd 7" - hammond screamer trade
Lloyd Alexander Real Estate - Gonna Live Again 7" - best ever President 45!

The Elephant Band is one of the rarer Mojo singles (I assume you have the UK Mojo - I have never heard of or seen a US release of this) and used to go for £100 on some of the more pricier dealers lists. I think it's cooled a bit since then so is probably more a £40 touch now.

None of the Moments stuff on Stang is worth much. They were All Platinums best selling band and sold lots of singles on the label and it's subsidiaries.

The Midnight Movers & Jack Ashford were both released in the UK on Contempo & Prophesy respectively (not so sure about the latter - this is all off the top of my head), which is how I know them. The UK issues are easy to pick up (£3-£5), the US issues I don't know about, but I assume they are just as abundant.

i didn't find any records today but did eat a lovely ripe piece of camembert. yum.

[sermad]

haha nice. I made shelves and ate home made currry with my dads secret recipie. stokes

[green man]

Not today, but earler in the week i found a few nice soundtrack LPs in the local Oxfam (not Oxfam music):

The Man With the Golden Gun
Planet of the Apes
The Omen
Obsession (got a few nice string samples)
From Russia with Love

They were £2/3 each and all almost mint (I actually thought they might be reissues because they looked unplayed). The From Russia... lp was actually a different pressing on Golden Film Music, Andy thought it might be rarer pressing for some club or something, can anyone (Ed?) shed any light on this?

I got quite excited as there was a Barberella LP in the same pile, thought it was the OG for a second but it turned out to be a "Music of Barberella and Other Films"
It did have a funky version of Into the Mountains with the main riff played on a clav though.

In the post:

The Status Cymbal: ‘In The Morning’ (RCA)
The Calliope: ‘Steamed’ (Buddah)
Seven: ‘Song Is Song, Album Is Album’ (Thunderbird)
Smith: ‘Minus Plus’ (Dunhill)
Karen Beth: ‘The Joys Of Life’ (Decca)
Dick Hyman: ‘Moog – Eclectic Electrics’ (Command)
Bert Jansch: ‘Rosemary Lane’ (Reprise)

At the markets:

Electronic Concept Orchestra: ‘Moog Groove’ (Limelight)
Lee Hazlewood: ‘Requiem For An Almost Lady’ (Reprise)
Peter Wyngarde: ‘S/T’ (RCA)
Parliament: ‘Live – P.Funk Earth Tour’ (Casablanca 2xLP)

On a very tight budget, so had to leave a fair bit, including a huge box of early 80s reggae 7” & 12”s, which I hadn’t the first idea about, as none of the labels or names rang any bells. If any Jamaica types have wants lists of this stuff, lemme know & I’ll check again for trades if the box is there again next week…not my bag, but a lot of it looked like it might have been smaller labels, less obvious artists etc, all from the '79 - '86 kind of era.

moog groove is tight

[Dean R]

You go about 10 years without finding any records in a charity shop, and then you find two lots on a weekend.
Anyway I got the following

Stills - Steven Stills (UK Atlantic orig)
Ramblin Boy - Tom Paxton (Elektra 70s press)
John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan (UK CBS orig)
Early Songs - Gordon Lightfoot (UK Liberty)
The Going's Great - The Tomorrow's Children (London)
We Shall Overcome, The March On Washington (NAACP)
Merry Christmas - David Frost and Billy Taylor (Philips)

The Taylor and Frost has an amazing cut called Bright Star In The East , is this a common album, I've only ever seen the other album (I think)
The We Shall Overcome is Martin Luther Kings 'I Have A Dream Speach', and the live performances from the day, including Bob Dylan. I can't find it listed on Dylan biogs so am guessing (hoping&#33 its super rare.
