Anybody been Record Shopping today?

Absolutely stunning and noise free, well apart from the music

As the jazz-man used to say, 'Mmm, nice!'

Congratulations on being post number 2000, by the way.

I haven't visited this thread for ages. Quick list of recent purchases:

Finally managed to complete my set of fairly decent copies of the classic Curtis albums:
Curtis Mayfield – Curtis
Curtis Mayfield – Back to the World
Curtis Mayfield – Got To Find A Way
Curtis Mayfield – Sweet Exorcist
Lawrence English – The Peregrine (drones on the theme of a bird)
Fire! – She Sleeps, She Sleeps (mad jazz-noise trio)
Fire! Orchestra – Ritual (as above, but with a full orchestra)
Fire! – The Hands (a bit more post-rocky this time)
Gogo Penguin – A Humdrum Star (almost drum-and-bass-like jazz; fantastic)
Gwenno – Y Dydd Olaf (lovely electro-pop, sung entirely in Welsh)
Gwenno – Le Kov (sublime indie-pop, sung entirely in Cornish this time!)
Rae Morris – Someone Out There (pure pop, decent songs and some interesting production)
Anna Von Hausswolff – Dead Magic (organ-driven heavy prog; more mellow than her last but still very powerful)
Courtney Barnett – Nameless, Faceless (a freebie 7" in advance of her new album)

And then a couple from Record Shop Day:
Six By Seven – 04
Daughter – Music from Before the Storm

...the walls of the city begin to shake

The Deviants - Ptooff! Raw 60's psychedelia / prototype punk. Memory's not what it was, but I think when this was originally released you couldn't buy it in any record shops, it was mail order only and cost fifteen bob / a quid (?). Was there some connection with Oz and IT (International Times)?

Pink Floyd - Relics With the exception of a couple, I already have all these tracks on other albums / singles, but a lovely compilation.

Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

Ben Webster Quartet - Soulville

 

[Jim_W]

The connection between The Deviants, formerly The Social Deviants, and the British underground press was the lead singer Mick Farren who regularly contributed to International Times (IT) and other publications. I can't remember whether he contibuted to OZ but I would have thought that he probably did ie record reviews. 'Disposable', released on Stable Records, is another great Deviants outing and an anarchic hoot of an album.

 

[6and8]

Thanks, Jim_W, for the memory jog. I remember Mick Farren now and the band being called Social Deviants. Think they played at the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream.

put a bid on Faith no More’s latest album. Sol Invictus. I’ve already got it, but really wanted it on gold vinyl. I’d seen it go for silly money, so when i won the auction at £20 I was well impressed.
