How's your luck been in the used bins lately? (pt9)

That's the one. Not sure who the announcer is. Sounds like he's drunk. There's a live take of "Show Biz Kids?"

 

Some nice LPs found this morning, details to come. But what most excited me was the four WLP vinyl 78s I found of the Fontane Sisters. WooHoo!

 

Save the Children (double live soundtrack album with Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Jackson 5, Nancy Wilson, Sammy Davis Jr., and more)
Highland Bagpipes - Donald MacPherson (on the way cool Tradition label)

 

Nice finds today.

Dave Brubeck - Time Out. Mono WLP
Led Zeppelin III SD 7201 RI

St-A-702005-AAA-1 1(one) Mastercraft PR -So Mote Be It prc AT
ST-B-702006-1-1-111 A (2) two Mastercraft PR -So Mote Be It AT

 

No. Somewhere in the back corners of my mind, I want to say that it was also the b-side to the single of Show Biz Kids, if there ever was an actual single of Show Biz Kids.

 

Found Lou Gramm's 'Long Hard Look' at the local Goodwill today. Still in good shape, 1989 Atlantic. Used to have the cassette. $1.

 

Found an original of Zuma to complete my 70s Neil Young. Vinyl is super clean but the cover is in horrid shape. I don't understand how you can dirty up a cover so bad (no water damaged) and actually take care of the vinyl.

 

All CDs today:

Chris DeBurgh - Spanish Train & Other Stories
Chris Rea - The Blue Jukebox
Peter Gabriel - 1 (real world remaster)
Warren Zevon - Preludes: Rare & Unreleased Recordings
Doobie Brothers - Toulouse Street

Also found a "for broadcast only" various artists gold CD with a solid track list:
1. Club Nouveau - Lean On Me
2. Tina Turner - Typical Male
3. Ronnie Milsap - Any Day Now
4. Chicago - Feelin' Stronger Every Day
5. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
6. Anne Murray - Broken Hearted Me
7. Dan Fogelbert - Heart Hotels
8. John Cougar Mellancamp - Small Town
9. Carpenters - Yesterday Once More
10. Rod Stewart - Some Guys Have All the Luck

12. Madonna - Open Your Heart
13. Huey Lewis & The News - Heart and Soul
14. Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight
15. Barbra Streisand - Memory
16. Stevie Wonder - That Girl

Interested in hearing how this one sounds. It was apparently marketed as "no noise" for radio broadcast.

At the flea market this morning I went to one of the usual vendors and started flipping through LPs. This guy's records are always $3 each. I get to this one box and it's full of sleeved classic rock LPs that are marked between $25-$75. So I ask him about them and he says "no, $3 each". WTH? I start pulling out every other album, Tull on tri-color Reprise, Tommy and other Who LPs, various Airplane albums, etc. I get this nice pile going while he walked away for a minute and then he comes back on the phone arguing with someone. I hear "what are you doing here. I can't get prices like this here. Why'd you give me stuff like this.....". Then he says to me "bad news". You guessed it, no deal. I did grab a Klaus Doldinger album and something with the word "Gryphon" on it on Bell records that looks interesting. $8 each on those. From another seller I grabbed the Peter Sinfield LP and a Spooky Tooth LP from 1973.

Edit; this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_to_Gryphon_Three

 

There was indeed a single of "Show Biz Kids" - I just pulled it out of my collection. ABC-11382. B side is "Razor Boy." Reached #61 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The live version of "Bodhisattva" you are referring to was the B side of two different singles from the Gaucho album, "Hey Nineteen" and "Time Out of Mind." Also, the announcer, per the record label, was Jerome Aniton. Who, you might ask? I Googled it. He was a truck driver that the band hired in the early 70s. His hilarious and intoxicated introduction is spelled out, word for word, on the web site, Everything2.com.

 

Ugh, I had that Save the Children album until I let someone borrow it. Very cool and interesting album.

 

My finds went better than expected:

Kiss - Dynasty
Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits
Laura Nyro - New York Tenderberry
ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
Fleetwood Mac - Heroes Are Hard To Find
REO Speedwagon - A Decade of Rock n Roll
Dire Straits - Communique
Mark Knopler - Local Hero
Joe Walsh - But Seriously, Folks
ELO - Greatest Hits

 

I think I know this flea market and seller, lol. If its who I think it is, he is a very cool guy.

 

Thanks for setting this straight - this is the kind of stuff that makes me nuts until it gets figured out. I remember reading an article on the Dan in Rolling Stone - summer of 74 maybe? They were the cover story, but their picture was not on the cover. It was a drawing of a girl riding a "steely dan" into the great beyond. In the article, they talked about Jerome and the night that version of "Bodhisattva" was recorded. Not sure why I remember this 40 years after the fact. I can barley remember to pay the satellite TV bill.

 

In Japan, picked up the following lps I never see in the US-

Rory Gallagher- Perfect
Allison Krausse and Union Station- Two Highways
Allison Krausse- Too Late to Cry
Fairport Convention - self titled on A and M

Picked up a bunch of others, all were near mint, 7.00 each roughly.

 

I went to a Half Price Books last night that usually has a very poor selection of LPs but this time the bins were stuffed with good stuff, a lot of domestic and foreign 80s reissues of 60s stuff, many of them still sealed but it was mostly things I already had copies of. I only bought two minty copies of albums I was looking for:

Ten Years After - S/T (1967 Deram US stereo) - $6
Tommy James & The Shondells - Travellin' (1970 Roulette US) - $3

 

Picked up a Santana promo 12-inch for $3 that has sold on Discogs for as much as $255!

A couple of Y&T's

 

A few more ditties.

 

Luck has been good lately. The record store where I work has been inundated with used CD's and vinyl lately. It comes in several times faster than we can process it.

I picked up the latest Phish and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats / Blood Lust on CD and Herbie Hancock / Mwandishi and Black Sabbath / Born Again on vinyl.

 

In the last 2 weekends:
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (the Brown Cover "onefer" as mentioned here among others http://www.analogplanet.com/comment/507298#comment-507298), mine's a NM cutout - €10

Beatles - Revolver (Finally!) Mono - XEX 605-2; Side 2: XEX 606-3. Almost identical to the one described here as ""Variation B". .. Times New Roman font": http://thebeatles-collection.com/wordpress/2011/07/16/revolver-parlophone-pmc-7009-2/. Now I finally know what one of those "Tax codes" on the label looks like;-). Only difference with the one pictured there is that mine appears to be a "regular" EMI pressing, not a CBS Pressing, due to the lack of label "profile/indentation".
Got this copy at local record fair here in Dublin. Condition: EX+ to NM I'd say. Price? - A steal at €25!

The Pet Sounds really sounds a good as people have been saying here (especially compared to the terrible "From the Capitol Vaults" reissue).
I can hear what people have been saying about these early Revolver pressings - if I'm not mistaken this one is Tube cut - some tracks are a bit "veiled" (e.g Yellow Submarine), but some are absolutely wonderful sounding: Eleanor Rigby, For No One

Good thing our host re- posted that "Use Double - Y Cables" thread recently;-)
