Fuck C***s I need a cover for that Brothers record. It shreds.

the cover is unfortunately the only thing about this 12' that shredz, thought i'd post it, seems to be somewhat stockcover related...

i need to hear that brothers record.

 

[DJ_Enki]

For hip-hop stuff:

Eric B & Rakim--"Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em" LP version 12-inch

What's the deal? Promo or...? I knopw the official 12" only has the 2 lesser remixes...
Promo-only, I think. And

Rendered somewhat obsolete by Microwave, but still a great song.

Because of numerous good finds this year, I limited to "less than 3 euros" finds!

Here's the TOP9 of the category:

Nice stuff! I found that Ronald Mesquita at a thrift as well for 1 euro. Also picked up that Perez Prado double set at a Paris fleamarket for 2 euros. Great record as it includes his rare Love Child album.
How much was that Platano record?
1.5 euros, same source as the Perez Prado, Roland Louis & Exile One, a former journalist. Incredible lot (TNTH, Melody Nelson, Streaking..), all LP were this price. 45 (inc. Ben & Platano or Supsonic..) were 1 euro, picked up something like 350 records!

I'm not really a guy for wantlists and rares that much but here's a few 45s and LPs that I was really happy to get hold of and really enjoyed:

45s

Almeta Latimer "Tobacco Road" - really good take on this song, great voice, she has a rarer record "These Memories" that I would love to get hold of but goes for $$$$

Otis Gayle "I'll Be Around" - beautiful soulful reggae tune on the Studio 1 Soul comps I think, over the same instrumental as Johnny Osbourne "We Need Love"

Bobby Powell "Peace Begins Within" - don't know much about this, funk tune I heard on Gilles Peterson a while back

Charles Whitehead "Between The Lines" - off RJD2s mix "Your Face or Your Kneecaps"

Bill Quick "Maravillosa Gente" - folk song in English, from 1972 on Spanish label Explosion dedicated to the people of Madrid apparently

Two reggae singles I picked up but don't know anything about but really like:
Joe White "Give And Take (On Both Sides)"
J Frankie/The Agrovators "Ghetto Feelings"

LPs

Frank Foster "The Loud Minority"
Archie Shepp "Four For Trane"
Charles Mingus "Black Saint And The Sinner Lady"
Elvin Jones And Richard Davis "Heavy Sounds"
Billy Gault "When Destiny Calls"
Richard Davis "Philosophy of The Spiritual"
Fela Kuti and The Africa 70 "Shakara"
Johnny Osbourne "Truths And Rights"
Bunny Wailer "Blackheart Man"
The Congos "Heart of the Congos"
Erasmo Carlos "Sonhos E Memorias 1941 - 1972"
Jorge Ben "Tabua De Esmeraldas"
Mary Lou Williams "Zoning", "Free Spirits" and "Mary Lou's Mass" (still no "Black Christ of The Andes" though)

A lot of these aren't rare or anything probably quite standard but I enjoyed them all the same.
