August Finds

[LaserWolf]

Major Records Library find.

 

[fishmongerfunk]

wow...deets pls

 

[LaserWolf]

Bought them last winter back East in an old Western wheat town. Just got them unpacked and was pleased to find all the best titles there.





But the ones I have been listening to this morning are all mid 80s synth. Lots of Walter Murphy. Straight rip offs of Miami Vice theme and Beverly Hills Cops. (Can I call that stuff modern soul?)





Also finding lots of disco and boogie cuts.


Also found a bluegrass one by Arthur Smith, an important bluegrasser, but of no interest to anyone, not even me. Too generic.

I got a bunch of those Valentino library lp's from Academy dollarbins a few years ago...I kinda cherry picked the funky ones. Not sure why they were a dollar but I wasn't complaining! I'm sure we probably have a lot of the same ones...if I recall correctly some of them are produced by Walter Murphy of "California Strut" and "Fifth Of Beethoven" fame. Oh Wait, you already mentioned that.

Thanks to crabmongerfunk for the recommendation (last month's Finds) on the Sam Rivers.

I love that Hedzoleh Soundz!!!! Does Masekela have anything else that comes close? I've heard some other stuff by him and thought it was kind of cheesy, but it was from a much later period than that LP.

He has his moments but, yeah, there is a lot of in-crowd/now-sound cheese among them. This one is the best. Other than that I own "Grrrr..." (which he signed a few years ago after a show at the Catalina in L.A.), the black self-titled one from '69 and "Emancipation". Fela's involvement with this record seems to be the magic touch. 'Grazin In The Grass' is classic but I can't say I ride for much outside that and the political activism.

You can fund a major digging trip when you flip that Ricardo Marrero. I gotta' get out in the field a lot more like I used to. Great score!

feels pretty good to be back in the game.
