Recent Finds

[klezmer electro-thug beats]

If we're doing "mailbox" finds...

A few recent 45s from We Jazz records in Finland and a mixtape from Funk Night in Detroit - they threw in a test pressing of some new shit I've never heard of, it's good! Not on discogs yet. I guess they noticed I've bought from them before a few times.

And the Whitefield Brothers is nice to have on 45 as it's a song my band actually did live when I was in one.

A lot of the boogie records I buy aren't available in Austin so I have no choice to mail order them if I want a copy.

No shame in it! My buying has been pretty remote-heavy these days out of an abundance of covid caution

did not do RSD but was on my local's website soon after and ended up picking up this Zombies 7" from 2017 for cheap - it has the cello version of A Rose for Emily. Also grabbed this 7" by Ty Segall/Chad & The Meatbodies - both sides are great: https://famousclass.bandcamp.com/album/lamc-7

Nice. I saw Ty Segall & The Freedom Band play at the nearby Zebulon two years ago. Check out his live-streamed solo set there from last year. Both are on YouTube.

I didn't do so well on a night fishing trip last Saturday, but I found these at a couple of quick stops on the way there.

Nice haul! How's that Les McCann?

Zeublon is such a small space - I got to see Meg Baird there a while back and it was, like, magical. Ty Segall must have been LOUD! I'll check the yootoobs.




(Not the same show)

It's cool that they're putting out sets like this

Oh, yeah, it was loud. Here is the show I was referring to:

"Talk To The People" is a much needed upgrade from a VG- copy I already have. It's a part of his "Invitation To Openness" and "Layers" period where he goes all out with the Rhodes and clavinet. However, while those two are all instrumental, this is his "What's Going On"-style soul record. It's best known for "North Carolina" (below) and the beautiful version of the Marvin tune. Both of which have live versions on his Montreux '72 double LP, by the way.

Here's some selections from the Unspoken Word:

Here's the Charles Bobo Shaw, which is actually a '81 Muse print of his much rarer "Çonceré Ntasiah".

There is an unwritten law that all fusion is good. Until the soloing starts.

that's deep, man



I was always aghast at most soloing, but then I changed my mindset and imagined it as chord surfing, and got an idea of them taking like, rad angles against the wave and such. So you have folks who are like, at one with the wave, and have their hand in the wall, then you have people with the back of the board through the wave, and then people who are really against the grain and then flip off the wave into a barelling endless flight dismount.
And everything in between.But yeah, there are some solos you just want the wave to wipeout deep into Neptune's briny realm and pin the musician into spiny corals, over and over, perhaps ripping their faces off or getting devoured by sharks.YMMV, like.

Picked this up last night. I did the cover and the music is great for only seven bucks.

You just sent me on a fun neal creque solo rabbit hole... I was vaguely aware he played on a lot of Pucho records but never paid him much mind. Not bad!

 

[Electrode]

I found that one earlier this year for ~$12 and coincidentally saw it at Amoeba L.A. on Wednesday for more than twice that, so $7 is a good deal.

I noticed that the typeface on Creque's previous LP was used for the cover of PUTS' "OST".

Wish I was able to find his Muse record for an affordable price. The only records I have which he appears on are the Leon Thomas ("Come Along" is a feel-good tune) and early 70s Mongo Santamaria ones and Eric Kloss' "Doors".

That actually makes me feel pretty good.

I wonder what the font was?

We used to (still do?) have graphic designers around here who mentioned trade standard names for these fonts which were used regularly on 60s and 70s LPs. Maybe they could help...

 

[dizzybull]

Thes confirmed, and added that the first single from that album took the homage even further ( his words were “straight ripped it off” hahahahah)

electrode you have an eagle eye, sir.

$3 finds from this past week with the exception of the Ornette Colemans which were $20 each.

Let there be Jazz looks cool

Love that Science Fiction album by OC

 

[Electrode]

Those two original Ambiances for $5 really caught me by surprise. Despite being from L.A., the only one of theirs I have found was a warped, almost unplayable copy of "Drift Up To Space" at a thrift store twenty years ago. They were found under their own placeholder tab (for the reissues, I assume). However, these are have paste on covers, radio station markings, usual cover wear but the vinyl is unplayed.

mixture of recent fines and pick ups from the shops. GAT is the Luv N' Haight.
