Record Show Haul
I love this record show, it happens twice a year and it's just down the street from my house... What could be better!
Pretty happy with this load of stuff.
Finally scored the second Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps LP on Capitol. Way better than his first LP, where it seemed every second song was a fake ballad to tone down the energy of the rockabilly tracks. Everything here is way uptempo, with lots of shouting by the band and there's some weird stuff too, like "Cat Man" where Gene is very threatening and strange in a sort of bizarre werewolf mode, like a take off on "Cat People".
Rockateens LP- Woo Hoo! I've wanted to get this for years…
Johnny Cash San Quentin - just needed a condition update on my copy...
Cramps Psychedelic Jungle outtakes bootleg- I've never seen this before but it's the Cramps first take on Psychedelic Jungle, with a more 80's sound. I prefer the released LP, but this is pretty interesting. Yellow vinyl.
Enoch Light, Dick Hyman, picked up some loose ends. Provacative Piano Vol. 2.
1959 Electronica compilation, really looking forward to hearing this. Walter/Wendy Carlos way before he got famous.
YMO X 2
Kursaal Flyers X 3 Managed to find three LPs by the Flyers. I didn't really hear about this band until recently. They have more of a pub rock sound, and were popular on the club scene in London just before punk broke.
Kate and Anna 1st
sealed Julie London. You don't see a sealed Julie London album very often. But every time I buy a sealed album these days, I usually get home, break the seal, and find the record inside is broken. So these days I just get the dealer to open it at the show to make sure everything is okay.
3rd Roches.
Susan Jacks 1st
Cardboard Brains 1st EP! It was so crazy to find this. I haven't seen this EP since it was released around 1979, classic Toronto art punk. Who knew?
MC5 Kick out the Jams motherf**kers version!
King Kurt & Lene Lovich pic disks. Who would've thought that King Kurt would have released a picture disc?
Panic the son of Shock, which I've never even seen on vinyl!!! This was the sequel to the Shock album, by the Creed Taylor Orchestra. I have this on CD, and now I've got the vinyl.
Siouxsie singles and more Stranglers Ep's
Jerry Lee Lewis Live, 60's Garage Punk & Tom Jones TV show first season on DVD.
I'm in music geek heaven. :-)
