Went into this little indoor market place that is really a tourist trap. There are records in there... at least 2 stalls ... but one is quite pricey and the other is all £3... but rarely find anything interesting in that one.
Anyway - went in and on the floor under a big heap of bric-a-brac was 4 bins of records. Had to get down on my knees >puff pant< to investigate.
Tourists kept pushing past me and a few even laughed as I pulled out fairly dirty looking albums.
There was a ton of rhythm n blues / soul in there. Compilations and whatnot. Some originals. I could've spent something like £80 taking chances on things.... but I wasn't in the mood.
Besides - I'd just been in another record shop and got some new things in there (not pictured).
The Kent comp 'Dance Floor Disaster' caught my eye as the 1st track is Beefheart's Hard Workin Man. Some other good blues based things on it like Bobby Bland/BB King/Jr Parker/. I like Kent comps and buy them whenever I see them. This was £4.50 so good value.
I have been reading a book called 'A Gathering Of Promises - The Battle for Texas's Psychedelic Music, from The 13th Floor Elevators to The Black Angels and Beyond' by Ben Graham. So it was great to find the Epitaph For a Legend comp. Not the original but an '80s reissue.
Don't know about J.T Brown. Doesn't look that great and I'm not a sax man really. Took a chance. On the Pearl label.
Frankie Lee Sims on Specialty. Cover is wack but the disc is ok.
I like his track She Likes To Boogie Real Low and I'm hoping there's some more jumping guitar blues on it in that style.
I might go back in the fullness of time and see if he's got anything else. Priced £4 - £6, that type of thing.
