I have no problem with getting to know the right folks for the right deals, but when you gotta go through all this Wild Kingdom cunning-hunter-on-the-prowl shit, I'm like: HELLO, REISSUE. i aint jumping through hoops to get a cracker!I went to this antique shop i go to sometimes and the old man who owns the shop
a. has occasional crates of hott records
and
b. is a big flirt
he is harmless and adorable and walks with a limp and feeds the birds that come to his doorway.
anyway he had that tom scott honeysuckle breeze shit MONO and he's no dummy and he knew it was worth dough and i asked him how much it was and he was like going on and on about how this record was gonna cost me hundreds blah blah. he would not tell me how much he wanted for this record, he was trying to be all mysterious, it was kind of annoying yet charming,
so i just sat there and talked with him for a long time, about life and how everything is everything for what seemed like 2 hours and finally i said you're not gonna sell me that record are you? you're not gonna even tell me how much you want for it are you? and he said "you know what?"... "i want to just give it to you."
what?
yep. and i would have paid up for that album too, because though i wanted it for a long time i never sweated finding it before, i was unwilling to go to the 'bay etc, i was waiting for it to come to me because i find surprises far more intriguing than easy buys.
twas a gift, and all i had to do was just hang out and shoot the breeze.
and don't talk shit because you all know you have harmlessly flirted your way into getting a free record, or at least a discount.
..... the hunt brings out the cunning within the lioness or in most of your cases the lion.
I got my El Malo for under $3, as well.El malo

I once found a Soul, Inc. single on Laurie ("I Belong To Nobody"/"Love Me When I'm Down"), for a whopping dollar...I don't know if it's the same band as the one mentioned...despite their name, it's not soul at all, just a really good garage-rocker.Soul Incorporated - My Proposal - 10 cents
union pacific were regulars around the hawaii club circuit in the seventies. they were originally from the mainland u.s., somewhere in the northwest if i remember correctly. that single was recorded in hawaii. there was another release of that single with a blank label and band info on the sleeve.nice modern tune, seems to pretty unknown, saw it on an old sales list while searching the internet, it was listed as a minneapolis record, i just happened to check ebay right after and there was a buy it now copy for $3 so i snatched it up, the record is not from minneapolis as i originally suspected, my copy came from hawaii, other than that i know nothing about it, i think both sides are pretty good though
union pacific - when it was done
union pacific - need your love
...even though this is a "three dollars or less" thread?I found a minty Cult "The Mail Must Go Through" Sunday for $10
