Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale 50th Annivesary, EP

Alice in Chains - What the Hell have I / Get Born Again, 7" double single

Plus a couple of nice freebies: A 2017 Rhino Records 2017 calander, a nice 2017 canvas RSD bag and a couple of sampler CDs.

One of my larger RSD hauls.

 I bought the CD 25 years ago and looked for the vinyl ever since. There was never a vinyl version until this RSD. May go back for Bowie and Pink Floyd.







Still spinnin'...

 Stopped at Ameoba which was insanely busy, not for RSD, but because I was near. Ran a few errands, and then I found myself right next to a GW, where the last couple years there were no records. I walk in and see 2 large bins. I pulled these for .99 each. (and 4 more) When I pulled the BN and Impulse titles, I thought I hit the motherlode, but that was it for jazz.

All in amazing condition.

 At the end of a trek through Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan in the drizzle:

RSD specials:
The Electric Flag Live in California
Son House live at Oberlin
Whiter Shade of Pale EP
Zappa Rollo 10"
Patti Smith, Hey Joe and Piss Factory 7"
Sneakers EP (Chris Stamey & co. pre-dbs--a 2014 RSD special)
Girls in the Garage vol. 10 (60's girl garage groups from France)

I'm stoked about all of these. Electric Flag and Son House did not produce a lot of vinyl. Plus I've only seen Whiter Shade of Pale from the poxy fake stereo LP.

Used:
Larry Young, Heaven on Earth
Morton Feldman, Rothko Chapel and For Frank O'Hara.

All in all quite an adventure. On to the WFMU Record Fair and emptying the rest of my account next weekend.

 It's the Prince record that i haven't have yet.

It's a dud.


They could have released something else never released before.
These are the ones that quickly comes to mind:

Joy in Repetition
Forever/Adore
Computor Blues/The Beautiful Ones
The Continental/And God Created Women
Willing And Able/Thunder

 I got SpaceJam and Robert Johnson. All of the others worth getting were already gone. Never been able to get the top stuff even though I get there an hour early.

I did score a Buena Vista Social Club Classic Records 45RPM Box set, which was worth the ride to the record store.

 I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the Art Pepper after you get a chance to play it. Both the performance and the sonics.

 

from where?, posted on April 23, 2017 at 20:57:09

 Just curious, as I was up in Point Reyes the other day, and Marin Sun Farms was closed (good place for a chop or burger) and I was forced to the market on main street. I went to the sandwich shop and the nice lady informed me of the burrito option. I let her know I was from SF etc, spoiled due to the ubiquity of killer burritos, etc, etc. She convinced me to get an Al Pastor instead of a Salami and cheese on a roll. Big mistake then, and then 2 hours later, and then again the next day.

Anyway, where's your spot?
I like Cancun on outer mission, El Farolito on 24th. Whole avaocado, no SC, no rice.

 (which is great) at San Jose Taqueria.

Been our favorite spot the past year after a two decade absence (for no particular reason).

LOVE Cancun's tacos, find their burritos OK.

Spent years going to El Casillito on Church (we know the family) but the trek got old.

We are in Burrito Heaven in SF.

Sorry to hear of your troubling Point Reyes experience.

 Wow - hope you got a good price. They aren't cheap!

 The mono pressing on a clear wax is very clean and impressive. I get a very engaging soundstage and vibrant sax and piano sound. Love the tracks Besame Mucho and Diane. All in all, very high quality and I am glad to have been able to pick this one up.

 After a recent fiasco with purchasing several new pressings and finding them dull sounding (and also some of them warped and with a lot of anomalies in the vinyl), I've stopped with new vinyl purchases. I'm on the hunt now for old pressings, hoping to be able to nail some good ones that are not beyond salvageable.

My sources are periodical record fair days, as well as a few dudes at the local flea market (also, craigslist).

Sorry about not being able to support local record stores. They are forced to jack up the prices while not being able to guarantee acceptable quality of many of the new pressings. Hopefully, things will improve in the near future.

 

I hope no one here got suckered into this one., posted on April 28, 2017 at 09:20:58

 Bought if off Ebay but from a gen-u-wine record store, according to the seller.

The cover looked like an LP, turned out to be a wafer-thin small-hole 45 with two versions of "In the wee small hours of the morning," by Nels Cline / Shirley Horn. No, not together, but a 1964 Shirley Hornn one side and a sleepy version by Cline with a string quartet (and tenor sax) on the other.

Supremely boring ... and only 3 and a half minutes long :-)
