records..same OG collection, found different spots

[ako]

how often does this happen to you? youll get a record at one place, and then get another somewhere completely different, but both were clearly in the same collection at one point in time? ive heard about almost legendary former collections, where people constantly find heat with the same name written on it around town (seems like there was something like that in california or something)


anyway, case in point:

i got the record on the left today at a record show, found the one on the right at a flea market out of town...but these labels lead me to believe these records were together somewhere along the line...:



(by the way, im wondering why they have albums that certainly werent designed for it labeled as production music...haha)

P.S. guess the record on the right correctly and you might win a PRIZE

I've picked up Will Finney's records at a few different spots around the Cleveland area. He drew a little "WF" emblem in marker on most of the covers of his records.

I also have picked up random 12s at various locations that have been liberated from WOBC's (Oberlin College) collection.

Collegiate peeps? I think those are the only folks out there.

 

[Cosmo]

Yeah they work at the college.

 

[Grafwritah]

Yeah they work at the college.

How is it? I've actually never been there. Supposedly it's some sort of uber-collegiate wonderland... ?

Oberlin is dope. Small college town very liberal. Good times though when I went through there.

Yeah, so I hear, but yet I have this nagging feeling it's a bunch of neo-hippies in a cornfield.

Major stop in the Underground Railroad. Lot of history there.

Ask anyone in michigan about "Sweeney." I think everyone has a peice of Sweeney's collection. Black marker across the front of the album...

r. manpower in florida, anyone? orlando/melbourne area?
every time ive been down there ive caught some of that manpower heat

rap79? you seen these?


then there was some institutionalized dude around philly who wrote his name in cursive all over the cover, in the inside jacket (the cardboard part and on the inner sleeve. very thorough and some nice records that were floating around for a while.

He told me that what he and I shared was special...

Yeah, Ray Simmons really knew how to fuck up a record jacket. My copy of "Them Changes" has his name all over the label as well.

But yeah, records were always clean.

I have Ray's copy of Soul Searchers "We The People." I have no idea how he wrote his name like that on the inside.

Ditto! All my mom's family still lives out in Elyria and Lorraine. Good thrift stores the last time I was up in those parts.

i've picked up a handful of soul 45s in the bay area with the initials "M.A." on them (in the same handwriting). some in san francisco, some down close to san jose. any other bay area people find any of these and know the story of "M.A."?

i think marco (no funk) posted a story about johnnie cool, whose 12"s must be distributed all over north carolina by now.

 

[threetwosix]

Yeah they work at the college.

...my uncle does as well.

I've got a grip of Johnnie Cools from stores round here... Mark actually went to his house but it looked like more of the same titles for the most part... but damn dude really took care of his shit! Its unusual to find an active deejay's collection and for everything to be so minty...

DEE BAILEY is the classic NC collection though, his LPs were circulating for a LONG time... he would write his name and various notes all over the sleeve...

ray simmons! thats it. i met some dealers at valley forge who had a good bit of his collection and they said he had been in and out of mental hospitals and loved his records. doesnt sound too far off from some of you folks.

local philly staple Tony B tags all his labels. ive bought things off him with the tag but also found some in random places. Fusion used to stamp his labels. any of yall label at all? remember those little label makers? there was a simpsons episode where bart goes crazy with one and then falls down a well
imagine going to pittsburgh and finding

on all the thriftshop stock

theres soe serious record collections on soulstrut. how long is it going to be before some of us are committed and collections get dispersed?
who are the likeliest candidates? guzzo? hcrink? L13? ap and philmost have shown their moments of madness too...
