March Finds

[spirit_of_66]

These are mostly Jan/Feb highlights but I felt inspired after getting the "Oh How It Hurts" LP in the mail yesterday. The dead of winter is slow for record hunting around here as I don't have the flea market until mid-March. In desperation I go hunting on eBay, which is often disappointing w/r/t condition, but I really got a winner w/ that Barbara Mason...$25 BIN, I had myself convinced it was gonna be the reissue, but it's the real deal and in beautiful condition.

On the topic of Archie Bell & the Drells--my bro got me the Tighten Up re-ish for Xmas and I was really blown away by side 2. Incredible that "A Thousand Wonders" was only issued on 45 in Spain and "When You Left Heartache Began" never appeared on a 45 at all--I think they're the two best Archie Bell tunes I've heard.

Checked some long time 45 wants off the list, but the one that's probably impressed me the most is Latimore's "Girl I Got News For You" which I got in a trade. Anyone know what year that came out? IMO it has a really "ahead of its time" sound.

Damn, I didn't know there was a 12" of this. I've dropped the LP version a few times.

Went to Spitafields yesterday and the to Flashback.





Was a couple of guys selling parts of their collections to fund impending babies. Manages to pick up a few long time wants:











Rabbit Rumba - Super rare Spanish rumba funk LP reissued a few years back by Wah Wah. Condition here is a bit of an issue but none the less a great LP!

Dia Prometido - ST - This is an odd one. An Iranian duo who recorded a coiple of LP's in Spain. Most tracks are covers played with a mix of Western and Iranian instruments.

These three ??1 each in the sale at Barnet Oxfam yesterday (wonder what the very pleased-with-himself lookin' Jon Handy's playing's like?).


Got a lot of good things from this place over the last year, inc some nice Messiaen and Poulenc from the dumped Middlesexx Uni library and enjoyable items of Monk, Miles and Woody Shaw. Gonna miss Barnet (now in Stockwell).

John Handy is a superb player, really enjoy his 60's records. that one, i think, has Michael White playing violin or viola and it's pretty unique/interesting. the group is excellent too.

What's the deal with the Lam II and the Rita & Sakura? Any stand-out tracks?

He sure is! And I love the instrumentation. Michael White is cookin' on violin.


Really enjoyed listening to this last night.


It's a real pleasure hearing something new which you previously had no idea about. Will be checking for John Handy in the future.

i can thoroughly recommend his 'Live at Monterey' set. there is a third lp on Columbia which is very similar to this one and 'Projections'. i also have a couple of his lp's on Roulette, very nice, especially one called 'No Coast Jazz', but probably my favourite by him is an lp called 'New View' from about '67 with Bobby Hutcherson and Pat Martino.
