Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson - The First Minute of a New Day
ZZ Top - Tejas (for my brother for Christmas)
Bob Welch - French Kiss (for my parents? maybe. I know they don't listen to lps much)

^Spent five bucks on that haul, rest was in trade (except the Budd, got that for ten bucks tho)

I've been looking for a decent copy of that Christine McVie record, that a cool find!

I love it and she's never been my favorite FM songwriter. It's different than her FM stuff.

I also got Sir Douglas Quintet "Rains Came" 45! Forgot about that.

A couple of '60s ska/mento tourist records in my late grandparents' collection. Anyone know anything about Carlos Malcolm's Ska-Mania?

Hey Jacob that "Adventures in Sound" record is the kind of thing we throw in the dollar bin without thinking, so if you're near Hoboken...

What record store do you work at near Hoboken? I'll be working in Pennsylvania all next year and on weekends I will go looking for records.

We're called Tunes. We're in Hoboken. Let me know when you'll be around!

usedta patronise tunes, you are a good store

yeah, "Adventures in Sound" looks awesome

Jacob you should check out some of the flea markets in NJ - Columbia and Englishtown are pretty good. Also depending on how far south you want to go, there's Berlin and Vineland - smaller, but would be a good stop on the way to the shore.

tunes new brunswick r.i.p.

schlump- thanks!

There are still multiple locations in south Jersey. The Hoboken one is the only northern location.

Got an early Christmas present in the mail today

ooooh want

Is there a way to remove a little mildew from a record cover? It's little black specks on the top left corner on the front and a little less on the back. Should I just trash it? I'm afraid it might spread to my other records if I keep it.

Doesn't bleach kill mildew? I'd wipe it with a bleach-soaked cloth then wipe with a dry cloth and let it air dry overnight.

ha, i have mildew and moisture stains in hundreds of records but i'm too lazy to clean them up.

vinegar, ethyl alcohol or distilled water will do the trick. wipe the shit out of the cover, then use a hair dryer at a prudent distance and voila!

Spent my christmas money between End of an Ear and Antones in Austin and was surprised at the records they had.
Eric Andersen - A Country Dream (Vanguard) perfect mint copy!
Rita Weill - Sings Folk Ballads and Folksongs (Takoma)
Grahame Bond - Love Is The Law (Pulsar)
Ron Nagle - Bad Rice (Warner)
Robbie Basho - The Voice Of An Eagle (Vanguard)
Robbie Basho - Venus Of Cancer (Blue Thumb) Really nice mint copy!
Wayne Talbert and The Melting Pot - Dues To Pay (Pulsar) can't wait to listen to this one!
Gene Parsons - Kindling (Warner)
Marj Snyder - Let the Sunshine (Discovery) nice xian folk record for 4 dollars!
Cayenne - S/T (Bucksnort) private rural record like Poco for 4 dollars!!
Jake Holmes - Above Ground Sound (Tower) Perfect copy to replace my beat up one!!
Jerry Williams - S/T (Spindizzy) very excited about this one, the guy from High Mountain Hoedown and Canyon!

emeralds - allegory of allergies
low - i could live in hope

btw would anyone like my less than perfect copy of Jake Holmes 'Above Ground Sound'? I'm having a give away on my blog. Leave a comment and I'll have a drawing.

I'll allow someone else the pleasure of owning an original copy of this astoundingly great album....

If your new one is in true stereo (not "duophonic"), you have a very rare record! I own one of the few known to exist. Tower lost the stereo master tapes after a brief proto run was pressed; so most were either mono (with no reverb) or Capitol's infamous Duophonic fake processed stereo (although it actually sounds decent on this particular recording). Some of the latter (catalog number with DT prefix) wound up in album sleeves mislabelled as stereo (with ST prefix).

Be careful - bleach does remove mildew, but it can also turn anything it touches white. If you use chlorine bleach to remove mildew, mix a spoonful in a cup of water, and use a slightly dampened towel or cloth and promptly dry the album cover. Don't use bleach full strength & undiluted.

aw man i never even heard of the Canyon record, and i really dig the high mountain hoedown LP. those are great basho records too, maybe my two faves. also like that Cayenne record.

i have not posted in this thread at all because i took me forever to ~accept the sandbox~ so i dunno what to talk about, particularly..

i'll have to get back to you.
but i'm listening to the incredible string band right now; such a good band.

Haha. At least I didn't recommend mixing bleach and ammonia.

I've only heard about the stereo copies, but both of mine are mono. Does it really sound different?

Not radically so, but it sounds a bit less insular, and has reverberation that isn't on the mono disc. (My cartridge or needle died so I can't listen to it now). Jake prefers the mono to the duophonic, and at least as of a decade ago didn't realize that any stereo copies survived. The mono master tapes have also since been lost, so all reissues (legit or otherwise) are needle drops.

totally random dancehall 12"s:
Buccaneer - Flip Yu Flop
Shelene - Just Give Me Love
Johnny Nice - Dolly Pot Mash Up
Tan Deh - Meditations
Charlie Chaplin - Mr. Mack
Jolly J Rockers & Belly Culture - Sexual Agreement

some raps:
Margo's Kool Out Crew - Death Rap
E-40 ft. Clipse - Quarterbackin'
Luke - Christmas at Luke's Sex Shop

and an actual album:
Quincy Jones - Big Band Bossa Nova

ok wow, so "Death Rap" is worth a couple of hundred bucks if it's original, which I'm almost certain it is. Not bad for 33 cents.

That's a cool record to find for 33 cents!

but i'm listening to the incredible string band right now; such a good band.

Woke up with Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, now playing 5000 Spirits. Total comfort music. It's fucking seventy degrees in the midwest on new year's day.

So I think The second Jerry Williams record I thought was by a band called Canyon is actually the second High Mountain Hoedown record but the group is just called High Mountain. The one I found is his third record. He also has a fourth record called 'Down Home Boy' by The Jerry Williams Group from 73 and 'Gone' from 79.

got some good stuff at Euclid Records in St. Louis over a trip to my parents' place for Xmas

JJ Cale - Troubador
Love Of Life Orchestra - Extended Niceties
