Nice finds! I've been looking for a vinyl copy of that Whitefield Brothers Lp for a while now - I'm holding out to find "In the Raw" in the wild and not have to resort to the Bay or similar.





Here's some of my most recent bounty:

Magic - S/T (Rare Earth, 1971)


Silk - Smooth As Raw Silk (ABC, 1969)


George Duke - Guardian Of The Light (Epic, 1983)

Touch - S/T (Coliseum, 1968)


Chris Spedding - Backwood Progression (Harvest, 1970) <--- signed


Sparky Rucker - Cold And Lonesome On A Train (June Appal, 1977)

Budgie - Squawk (Kapp, 1972)

Of this grip I've been most impressed with the Budgie Lp's, the Sparky Rucker album, and the Touch S/T record. I had never heard either Fresh or Ethiopian Knights, and both are incredible to my ears. Sadly, I brought the George Duke home just a day or so before he passed (RIP).

This spool was a broken clothes rod nailed to a board. It was part of a collection I bought months ago but couldn't fit in my car. Nothing crazy found it it so far but it's a solid collection of soul and funk 45s.
 
finally some good records for good prices at an actual record shop!





the only e-digs are the Mel Brown and the Hi Fidelity Dub Sessions Chapter 1

cheap and clean essentials







You caught a deal on that Meters record. I paid 20.00 for my copy and 20.00 for an unplayed copy of The Pharoahs Awakening on Scarab a few years back.

:shh:




Oh man... haven't heard "Zia" in a while. Years ago, while temporarily living in Chandler, I used to find grips of modern soul and boogie there. They were always priced at $0.99 or $1.99.
 
I haven't posted any finds in a long time but I was inspired by some good pickups this morning. First photo are all dolla picks from this morning's flea and yesterday's thrift circuit except for Bill Withers.











Now I understand the hype over Sylvers II--great record! Jimmie & Vella I'd never heard of but it's a pretty cool, unusual soul album.





Next photos are some highlights from the past 2-3 months from various flea markets, tag sales, thrifts, trades, etc...











45 highlights








 
Thanks to Herm.


I went to a secret city and Herm took me to some secret spots.


Now Herm needs to post up the painting I suggested he buy.




















The 2 private press appear to be very bad xian folk. Street Fare has a cool cover, Lynn White is a late 80s Willie Mitchell production.





Digging tip, audiophiles will buy that Kenny G.





 
Thanks again to Herm for the above.





Got home and bought a couple hundred great 45s in vg or worse condition.




















House Of Entertainment is a jam session, Ural Thomas, Ron Buford, Mr Clean others. Staples Bros are Portland gospel and most of their sides are good. Dr Wu knows lots more about this stuff.
