January 2013 Finds

[llmod1]

Just back from New Year in Amsterdam. Had a great time in one of my favourite cities. Shame it poured with rain all New Years Eve.

Anyway went to all the usual haunts in Amsterdam and a day trip to Rotterdam.

Came back with the following:

The first picture were Xmas presents from kind relatives



Mladen Gutesha - Und - Been after an original press of this LP ever since Grope played it to me about ten years ago. As he siad at the time, try searching the internet for a record called "and!" Until then I'll have to make do with this reissue.

Joy Unlimited - Instrumental Impressions - Reissue of a super rare German library.

Cults Percussion Ensemble - Great reissue from Trunk Records whivh is probably well known to everyone here.

Roy Head - Treat me Right - No idea whether this is the same Roy Head that put out the Mr Funky LP. Some rock n roll stuff and some great instrumentals. Does anyone know anything about this one?

Secos & Molhados - ST - Great Brazillian LP recommended to me by our very own Modal Man.

De Paula Urso Vieira - Great Italian Bossa Jazz. Been after the track Viva Bem for ages. Probably would have helped if I had known the track was on this LP!

John Sangster - The Trip - Rare OZ jazz.

Fela Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Open and Close - Nigerian original. One of three Fela's picked up on this trip, probably my favourite. In fact, on closer inspection, I've bought the same LP twice, one of these being a French pressing!

You heard it at my place and didn't like it... haha. I think it's great. I'm glad I found a cheap copy two years ago.





GREAT FINDS!!!

 

[llmod1]

You're right, I do remember seeing this at your place. Can't believe I didn't like it! You don't own any bad records!!

 

[fejmelba]

never seen the Mr.Albert in the fields.


nice finds Mark

"Baba Yaga - Best Lesbian funk if heard. Discuss!"





Sorry I can't share your enthusiasm for this Portland band.


I'd have to go with any thing Linda Tillery related, also Isis ahead of BY.





I crossed paths with some of the members back in the days.


When this was at the height of it's value I was finding and selling it on the regular.





I called one of the members to see if she had any back stock.


Right off she started yelling at me that I owed her money, if I sold any copies I had to pay her, if DJs in Japan were spinning it they had to pay her.


Talked to another members mom who made it clear that her name was not to spoken and she hadn't seen or heard from her in years.


I'd say 99% of artist I have contacted have been thrilled that someone found one of their old records and liked it.


Not BY.

[upskiboo]

flea this morn, common as a single LP but the 2LP gatefold issue is harder to find..

 

[Electrode]

The softcore '73 movie loosely based on the folk tale has an excellent theme.

Could be a Bosworth title in disguise.

 

[LoopDreams]

Nice haul Illmod! Wish I could hear that Naura on MPS or that Ian Carr. Both I'm curious about.





Went into my local dig last week just as a guy was trading some Krautrock and stuff for a copy of the Haunted. I grabbed some of it.

The Elis and Tom is really great.

Hey Loopdreams,





Nice haul! That Lightmen lp, i got the two reissued lp's. Is that a full third lp or just other artwork? What year is it from?


Their OG lp's seem impossible to get...

Leon,


the Lightmen is not what I expected, it's much better. I always thought it was a later LP from 76 or something, but no it's their 2nd from 71' ( Judnell 1002). It's recorded 1 yr after the first and has all the raw psyck/free grit of the first and starts leaning towards the sounds of the later. Brought a smile to my eyes...

I've spent the last 3 months living in Chennai, India.





I managed to get around a bit in India and dig but the majority of these records were found at a great little record store in a flea market near the central station in Chennai (if anyone wants some advice on digging in Tamil Nadu get in touch with me). I was able to tick off a few wants for cheap, all of these were 200 rupee each (about $4nz), except the gumnaam which was about 1000. The guys know what sells and is popular overseas (ananda shankar, jazz raga style etc) and so ones like that are more expensive - it's still a great opportunity to find cool stuff though.

And some Tamil stuff:

Some things from the past few weeks

Ginger Baker - Stratavarious


Really cool record with some straight afrobeat cuts from his Fela era.

Galt MacDermot - Woman is Sweeter OST with the Woo Hah break. Kinda neat


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb-smm9mH-s





+ Gil Scott Heron, Themes library 'Freedom Road' featuring Alan Parker, Brian Bennett and Alan Hawkshaw, some various anime ost's and a Japanese cop show ost

 

[Electrode]

That Chuck Taylor white label LP has some kickin breaks

 

[Humanacat]

Devoglam, I love that Unspoken Word Lp, nice

HAHA Yeah! Too bad they're reissues tho!

 

[Humanacat]

The tums remain a major want because unfortunately the bottle is empty...

Mixture of flea market and cheap store finds around PA. It was a very random January.





Blaze Foley's live recordings are pretty cool but as many of you probably know the 80s production on his LP is pretty terrible.





Anyone have any info on Jim Bartow? I found THIS blog post about him being a college professor and having a second record as well. This is a really cool album!
