Records that have eluded you

[parallax]

skel said:Always expected to wild-find a Tubby Hayes 'Down in the Village', it being a local record an' all.


Despite years of scouring, even stooping low on the old widow tip ("my dear departed hubby listened to jazz, I still have them all in the loft, come and take a look"); never found one.


Don't hoard any more, so that ship hath sailed.




Yes.





The re-ish is out there, but I can't bring myself to buy it (for a $100+? pffft) because I feel like this is a record that will show up at a thrift or something.





"Down In The Village" is one of my all-time favourite tracks--so good.

Honestly... still looking for Al Hirt - Soul in the Horn. It's never in the easy listening section. Same goes for the Shelly Manne - Mannekind.

 

[fishmongerfunk]

those heavy uk jazz records never, ever turn up.





the shelly manne lp def. turns up for around 10 bucks or so, i am sure someone here can help you, it's not bad for what it is (an old-timer trying to cash in on the jazz-funk thing).





soul in the horn, on the other hand, you don't really need at all. i have a copy i will trade to you if you want... pm me

If record shows count then I had a chance at that Milton Wright record Spaced at the ARC last year. Forget what the dude had it priced at but the cover was kinda mangled and for me that cover is just so ill that I couldn't commit. Within minutes of me giving it back to go up again on his wall some Japanese collector snagged it. I'm also under the illusion that I'll see that Mighty Ryeders record on a wall at Amoeba or something but that hasn't happened yet either. Also looking for that Ron Henderson record with the disco ball on the cover. If anyone's holding and their gag reflexes kick in because of it then I'm your boy.

Just once I dream of finding this in the heaps of shit x-ian records I come across all the time.

Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening





I don't feel like this is $60 worth of raer (maybe it is?), but obviously sampled to death so all the spotters have it on their lists. Never see it though. I just want it because it's sublime all the way through.

^zoo kid 7". i'd pay good money for this if anyone's selling. one of the few records that my wife and i agree on being awesome.

^ i wonder how many of these were pressed?

^ stone crazy.

For those who are skateboarders and grew up on the bones brigade: That lp above^^ (A Sea For Yourself) ^^ was also used for Powell & Peralta's: The Bones Brigade Video Show, soundtrack.





There is two different jackets. I might have a spare. I'll hit you back later.





Hi strut family, it's been a minute!

 

[francois parker]

there are a handful of UK charity shop classics that have never came my way (out in the field):





The Hanged Man


Gentle Rain


hymns a singing (or what ever its called)


+ loads more.





I've looked though 10,000 of charity shop records in my years and I never see them.


(my city is kind sown up by some clued up dealers sorting for them though, but even out of my city, no joy)

rokk - patience

[Duderonomy]

I think my collectron days are over, but the first record to spring to mind was The Truper (Photek) untitled 10" on Street Beats. Been after it since Cold Cut used it on their JDJ mix.





There's a bunch of '90s WOF joints I never found, but thank fuck some of the raerer things I couldn't get ended up on comps etc.

 

[LoopDreams]

Buddy Terry: Awareness





wtf does this not turn up for me?? That said I did land a couple of H Land lp's on mainstream a few month which had been on the list for a minute and a half. But Buddy....

Nice! I'm not a jacket fiend, so happy to take the lesser copy. Gonna check out that set sale you posted now, too...

 

[badder_than_evil]

Commodores - Machine Gun. Easy to find, but not for me. Determined to find it in the field, one day.

 

[PrimeCutsLtd]

One of the common records I've yet to find on the cheap is Looking out my window - Tom Jones. Maybe I glazed over and missed it flipping through too many Humperdinks.

 

[sugarman]

The Alice Clark record. Never seen it other than online.

 

[Hollafame]

Bohannon - Stop & Go
