Some of my best finds of the summer were today actually, hitting the cheap bins at Amoeba.















This side is sunny, otherworldly jazzy bliss, the other side is a nice group soul cut.








Flea market find from a couple weeks ago. Didn't know the album at all and wasn't expecting much, but when Caveman Boogie came on that jam melted my face off.







Some others, all $5 or less:

THIS IS SUPER FOLLISH! What the fuck. Of course, the one day I'm in the Bay and I say, "I'm sick of records. I've spent so much money and time. I'ma go fuck with some broads" and this pops up in the Amoeba dollar bin! lol.

Those are dope man.
 
Almeta Latimer- "Tobacco Road" $1
*Hugely* under-rated 45 on the De-Vel label - same as Madeline & the Monticellos. A superb mid-tempo funk cover that needs more playin'. Top scoop, fellow!
