Damn that one is not cheap! Was that a find find or a market price find?
I cherry picked it out of a collection of turds (Montovani, Ferrante & Teicher, Ray Price etc.) in a Craigslist list ad. It's in rough shape but I bought it anyway because it's a tough one to find.

Dennis Coffey Trio - Hair & Thangs LP = End to End Burner.
I skipped the local swap meet this month to make the drive up to San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay to do some fishing, sightseeing and hit some record shops for cheap finds. Stanley Cowell is a later repress of his '69 debut. Hugo Strasser has competent Santana covers ("Jingo" and "Black Magic Woman") and a monotonous alto sax take on "Paranoid" which is fun as a novelty. I did not have any Seeds or Fats Waller before, so a couple bucks well spent. Sealed cutout of Oliver Lake's debut as a leader, which was appropriate since I was listing to Pheeroan Aklaff and his other projects during the three hour drive to hold me over. "Adios Amigo" is the soundtrack to Fred Williamson's answer to "Blazing Saddles" and "Trinity" and the one of the many 70s Westerns he did after the trend died down.
BB: great job with with the Coke. The model on the left of that Chic is Valentine Monnier.
Years ago I saw Sky Saxon from The Seeds at the Austin Record Convention. I didn't know who he was when I first saw him but his style oozed rock star status. Then a dealer next to me explained who he was walking around and it made sense. He passed away the following year. RIP.
haven't picked up too many things lately, but did come up on two of my randomest finds for used record shops in southern Brazil:
OG French pressing of a Fela for less than $20
turns out the Fela had come in a batch from an old dude who had lived in Cuba for some time, so it was in the middle of some tepid Cuban folk and highlife comps
then last week I came up on this sealed latin funk raer for $5 in a clearance bin:
I didn't know what it was when I picked it up, but later I saw I used to have one of those generic international funk comps with Harina de Maiz on it. And then I also realized they're the ones who did this Antonio Carlos & Jocafi cover that's become known among DJs and collectros down here:
The Ed Thigpen (US issue on GNP, not the original Swedish one), Ed Robinson (previously thought that "Hey Blackman" one-off 45 was his only output) and the Wildflowers volume four were found at DJ Muggs' record collection sell off. Had to sift through hundreds of sealed promo singles of "Rock Superstar" and scratch battle records to find those. The Italian soundtracks are new releases and birthday gifts from my brother who went to Florence recently. Hal Singer is another US pressing of an American jazz musician who moved to Europe. Rinked to hell but thankfully the one original, worthwhile track, "Malcolm X", plays well. FDR is a posthumous ('76) comp. Nice to have "Dernier Domicile Connu" and "Les Caids" on one record. Nothing to get excited about on the Eagle Rock HSJB '74 but it's a cut above most high school bands and the cover is a local landmark I still drive by on a weekly basis. Peter Berkow & Friends (PB&F) is a fun mix of progressive rock, folk and Blood, Sweat & Tears influence out of Chico, CA by way of Chicago. I've said before that the Inner City label is a crap shoot but this seems to be one of the good ones; funky fusion with steel drums. Gunther Fischer was a nice surprise. The title track is another one canonized by Dusty Fingers.
