Those speakers look wild Guzzo, how do they sound?





Some brazillian records this week:











The Trajeto is great jazz and the Ternura is the best soul I've heard in a minute or two

They aren't as amazing as I'd hope, but through the help of other struttuers I may get them improved/ updated. They are part of a late 60's Zenith sound system and known as "circle of sound", they were marketed as early household surround sound speakers.

Questionable art direction. Music delivers, though.
 
There's always so much heat in these threads... a true motivating tool to stay persistent! Keep 'em coming!





Between traveling a bit, hitting the regular spots, my non-RSD Record Store Day haul, and what I pulled at a record show, I've cleaned up fairly well recently. I definitely paid more than I should have for some of these titles, but so far it's been totally worth the education and chance to absorb all these new to me sounds.

About 13 yrs ago a DJ bud of mine was trying to offload his Brazillian heavies as the craze was ebbing. I bought a bunch but he wanted too much for Gal so I passed and have kicked myself ever since. So happy to have this LP finally, Gal's on some :next_level: shit with this one.





 
Highlights of the keepers from the last couple of weeks:

















Anyone know anything about the Hokoyo ^^^^ LP? Sounds great to my ears but there's nothing on popsyke or ceefrenzy. Is it just super common?
 
Some of the better recent grabs. Mostly thrift/junk shops and estates sales, with a few from a shop as well.

13074493.jpg






Two Hank Levy/Towson State Jazz Ensembles, the MMO one is the complete version, no instruments minus-ed





Dialogue - S/T on cold studio, private folk (light)psych outta PA I believe, definitely has its moments





Bob Israel Would Like You To Hear His Music, actually not a new grab but it was in the recent listening stack. Got this about a year ago at a goodwill, very cool library-esque private release. I am sure people here know about it, but I couldn't find any info on it and was curious what some of you might have to say about it.





Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face, very clean in an original west end sleeve. While I dabble into some disco, this isn't really my thing so I could be into trading it if anybody is interested.





13074514.jpg






Both Gang Starr's are originals from a shop, 6 and 10 dollars respectively. Syked on that! Now if they would just put out Daily Operation...





Strong City sleeve is the Jazzy Jay Live Sampler EP, cheap junk shop score. Great condition, especially loving the Raheem/Diamond track. Is the full length album worth sniffing out?

I stopped at a antique/junk building on my way home from work yesterday, and although there were only a few chud pieces available for wax, the woman told me about a reel to reel she had at her house up the road. Went up to check it and grabbed it for 20 bucks. Still in the original Teac box with postmark from japan, her guess was that somebody was in the military at the time and shipped this back home to the family. Looks like it hasn't been used, although there is no power cord. I'm gonna take it up to the stereo shop I know and see what he says about it.





EDIT cause I forgot to add my one recent eBay purchase.

Solid BIN for a supposedly mint copy, but now that it's here it's clearly not mint, strong VG at best (light scuffs cause some substantial background noise right of the bat, and even worse the grooves are pretty worn, so you get all that blown out high end BS). Dude included a note about how this business is his main source of income and how he wants you to give him a perfect rating, so if there is an issue to message him and he'll do his best to rectify the situation. Over-grading things with a great price so it moves fast, then refunding some cash to those that complain. Kinda weak but we'll see what he refunds, really wanted a copy of this.

The belts TEAC used in those things turn to mush over time. used or not. before plugging it in, i'd open it up to see if they are still together. they literally turn to goo, and it can get all over the inside if you're not careful.
 
thanks for the heads up!!! i'm plannin on taking it to a spot tomorrow, hopefully I can get it working


couple more finds from the last few days

Rotary Connection is the UK chess pressing





Second down on the right is a Kit Andree on Hoctor. Wasn't that impressed with the first listen, gotta give it another spin though.
