Just got back this morning from a week in New Orleans at a mate wedding and digging for records.
Had a great time and New Orleans is a cool perty town. I was however, considering its musical heritage, a little disappointed with the record stores. having said this I still managed to come home with a bag of records.
Gotta say a big thank you to Ari who is a local and a Soulstrutter who really went out of his way to show me around. I really appreciate it!!
If anyone has any info on any of these particularly the 45's then let me know (value, history, etc)
LP's
Managed to trade around 20 Vulture classics (inc Big Jim H's!!) for the the following three LP's, the rest were bought around town.
Manu Dibango - Kusini - Great rare private press soundtrack - double
The Meters - Struttin
The Meters - Look-Ka Py Py
Curtis Amy - Mustang - Really solid funky jazz LP from start to finish - double
Billy Taylor - OK Billy - One cool funk track on here - double
Al Hirt - Soul in the Horn - De la Soul Sample plus othe bits - double
Luis Gasca - Collage - Funky latin Jazz
Bobby Hutcherson - Montara - Another great funky latin LP
101 Strings - Sounds of Today - Psych sitar tracks ala Animated Egg - double
Soundtrack - The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob - Found 2 sealed copies - double
Manolo Gas - A Todo Gas - Spanish funker, his best LP, sealed - double
Guerra 78 - Soul Makossa - Funky latin LP
Found 4 sealed copies of a Guatemalan psych latin funk LP that is going to be huge. Just got to do some research first.
45's (Help Needed) - Most of these were found deep in the hood in the attic of an old record store. This place has probably had tons of guys looking through it but still has loads of goodies. I looked at around a 20th of the stock. Most are unplayed stock copies. $6 each.
