plus heart's dog & butterfly & a new age comp on klaus schulze's innovative communication label

and katy lied

I GOTTA SAY IT WAS A GOOD DAY

oh yeah and finally a completely awesome Dionne dbl-LP that was a Columbia House edition whose image I can't find on the net anywhere

i've almost bought that jesse johnson record like a zillion times (unsurprisingly, prince associated hangers on non-selling albums are super duper common in mpls/st.paul record stores)...how is it?

next step: mazerati?

that Jesse Johnson LP is krazay!...should be owned...did you get the Dog & Butterfly picture disc?...and what did this haul set you back?...(my guess: $5.50)...

the jesse johnson was the first one I listened to! it was a fucking sweet record to have playing while I searched out .jpgs of these album sleeves, and half of side one seemed like keeper material. generally speaking it sounds like a somewhat darker, slower version of the Time.

Sly Stone sings on the 2nd track. I think this is kind of when he's at his most lost - he doesn't sound like himself when you can hear him at all. And then you hear that little spark that's him (in the last verse) and you think, God damn it, Sly, if you'd have been able to get your act together you could have just owned the eighties.

henry these albums are all in near-mint, it was a bit more than that.

I want to be out record shopping instead of sitting at work today!

Nice haul.

the andre cymone and jesse johnson albums i have are all killer

the mazarati is fucking amazing

i got a Michael Rother "Katzenmusik" 12" single for £3 today. theres something about the idea of Rother having a 12" single that amuses me - "HEY GUYZ THIS ROTHER DOOD COULD HAVE A HIT SINGLE, QUICK - TO THE PRESSING PLANT!"

More recent supercheap and supercool vinyl hauls here, btw, John; I'm very very very proud of the pile I dug up at the Thing in Greenpoint a week ago):

Rolling "I'd Buy That for a Dollar!" Thread 2008

word Chuck! I was trying a find in page w/ "vinyl," my bad

I am nervous to listen to "Dog and Butterfly," I saw Heart on that tour (I was 12) when they were my favorite band in the universe and it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen and I had so much love for that record, I hope it's still good. Still though, last year I got "Little Queen" and it had held up 100% so I'm hopeful.

(I'm always amused when I think about how you & I have gone at it on some threads but unless I misremember we are both big Heart fans)

Sly Stone sings on the 2nd track. I think this is kind of when he's at his most lost - he doesn't sound like himself when you can hear him at all

Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly isolated the Sly vocal from this track on his Triptych mix last year...it's pretty sad really, a bit like that (alleged) isolated microphone mix of Linda McCartney's backing vocals on a Wings version of "Hey Jude"...

unless I misremember we are both big Heart fans

You are correct, sir. And Dog & Butterfly is indeed a good'un -- "Straight On" kills. Little Queen is probably my favorite, though, and I'm a late convert to Bebe Le Strange. (Jupiters Darling from a couple years ago was a surprisingly songful return to hard rock, too, if you ever see the CD around for cheap.)

another vote for Andre Cymone here - as far as Prince hangers-on go that shit is super-solid and worth tracking down

damn that's tiny

^^^OK, I'll bite:

that's what she said!

Can John D. or someone else recommend me a song by 70's Heart that I can play that isn't normally played on the radio that I can try? I already know "Straight On". What else is good? Okaythxbye.

I never got into Queen til I saw their Road Home special with an orchestra. Dunno how the album sounds, but on TV it was Ann calling across a mystic moody gray-green vale (prob full of doughnuts, but Twin Peaks doughnuts. I even sent Chuck and Frank illegible postcards about it, instead of illegible emails, since this was before I could do that. Never made it through both sides of one of Jackson Browne's, even if I liked it at first--that voice gets so boring (but Bonnie Raitt made some of his stuff sound amazingly good on her early albums).But I don't think I ever heard the one you bought. Katy Lied is good, I bet & hope.

givin u the best is an excellent album.

rapture is better tho

(did I leave an "i" out of "illegible" twice? Damn this is a small screen). Yeah Katy Lied and The Royal Scam are the last ones I haven't heard that I still have hopes for; Aja was the pisser, despite some good tracks (incl the daringly elliptical and/or Wayne Shorter-dependent title track) but boohoo "Deacon Blues" and that other maudlin smooth jazz was not the thing to hear in 1977 especially.

Typed this into the wrong thread on ILE:

John, I got a Capitol Record Club pressing of the late-Bacharach/David Very Dionne for a buck a couple of weeks ago. Except for "Check Out Time" (about wondering what to do when you leave home and are about to run out of cash) and "The Green Grass," which I already knew, it was disappointing. I expected lots more from her versions of "Yesterday" and "We've Only Just Begun."

Hope the Columbia club thing is a best-of or something like it.

picked up the nobunny lp at a show friday night, sunday i got an archies lp, gentleman jesse/black lips/baby shakes 7", soul messages from dimona numero group 2xLP, x-ray spex lp, and the eat skull lp. nobunny will be staying on the turntable for a while.

Now that I finally have my own turntable, starting to accumulate some stuff.

recently:

used, 5-8 bucks:
Marianne Faithfull - Broken English
Martha and the Muffins - This is the Ice Age and Danseparc (love how easy their stuff is to find around Ontario)
Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
The Nits - In the Dutch Mountains
Split Enz - Waiata
a Best of Nilsson comp with all but 1 or 2 of my faves
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark
Pete Shelley - XL-1
Frank Sinatra - Watertown and Only the Lonely

new, on sale:
Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain (not the fancy reissue)
Stand of Oaks - Heal
Mark Eitzel - Don't Be a Stranger

That's a deal for the 18 Musicians LP.

One of those Dionne compilations is the bomb. I don't have it with me but it's got some feathery rarities on it.

You should come to I Love Vinyl, Simon.
