Recent Finds

My local charity shop had a glut of Christian records this weekend - kinda feeling this:

Oh, my copy of this just came in too - missed it when it first dropped

 

[ppadilha]

that Bayeté is pretty heavy, I like it

 

[Electrode]

Found that Bayeté! Library records were the $2-$4 table scraps from Amoeba's bulk sell off. I'm sure sought after volumes were put aside or sold before they hit the floor. However, it was fun to sift through and taking cheap gambles. John Cacavas has "March Popkof" and some other cool tracks. Janko Nilovic has "Blue Stone" which also has been sampled a few times.

i have that omnimusic and i'm pretty sure there's some spacey heat on there.

Pictured here are "Ride The Sky" (#108) and "Patterns Of Success" (#120) and were part of the library selection.

There are X amount of them all with the same cover so you need a memory like a steel trap to remember if it's one you already have.

Returned last night to see what was left or added. I also was able to talk a floor manager into allowing me to use my portable. I was disappointed that there seemed to be every early 70s Boosey & Hawkes "Music For Film, Radio & Television", except ones like "Drama"/3052. "Big Band", "Happy Music" and "Young Days" sound what they look like, but good for a couple of bucks each and have their groovy moments of organ or electric piano. "Optimist" (Sonoton) is what I would expect from '81. "Musical Exploration" is from the same year but synths put to better use. UBM has an "Action" side of 30 second segments for commercials. The one by Claudio Szenkar called "Driving" mimics "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More" and was put on Dusty Fingers 15 (the same one which included "Tournament" from the aforementioned B&H volume). Not pictured is another Omnisound: "Sparkle".

Color me ignorant but I had no idea Amoeba had any library LPs at all! Not a bad haul for the price.

 

[Electrode]

They don't usually. This was a one-off thing. I heard that the owners of a building which housed a production company down the street on Sunset back in the day were renovating, found the collection and brought it over on a couple of pallets. One of the inventory people apparently did not have the time or patience and priced them to move.

 

[klezmer electro-thug beats]

Damn, there might be some real lucky fuckers who dug that! I just figured they were trying to clear long-held inventory before they move to slightly smaller premises (I believe)

Was looking through things for a new mix and came across the one I have - it's World of Tomorrow ("Industrial sounds of the future"!). There are a few weirdo nugs I used to bookend a section of jazz and gangsta rap in an old mix - start with the dewey redman around 40mins in and coast along for 15 minutes or so until you hit the Elanor Rigby cover (stay for the Nona Hendryx): https://soundcloud.com/ketan-shankardass/straight-talk-jasmine

I found a shop yesterday that has hundreds of Jamaican Reggae singles. These are the kinds of things I have on CD comps and never see in the wild; not around here, anyway. Bought some yesterday and went back today. They are likely to see a lot of me at that shop...

My situation is the opposite, London is chock with reggae and has (/had? at least pre-Covid) at least a couple specialist shops, but the prices are never such that I've really hauled in a lot.

Value Village was good to me today.

Disco One is a cover band of early 70s rock that is very listenable. Starmaker is a Sactown HS record with a solid Al Jarreau cover. The Sammi Smith has a some nice stoner country on it. And that Carmen McRae/Dave Brubeck is hot lava and

After months of down time the addiction kicked in again. Been going hard (AYO) here's some of the heaters I've come across lately.

Nice finds. So much heat in Miami.

I honestly don’t know most of those records, other than Opus, Manzel and Colon. Curious about how they sound!
