i see you about to get into some tappan zee sh!t sactown.
H*ll yeah.
That whole crew is insane: Bob James, Deodato, Airto Moreira, Hubert Laws, Herbie Mann, Gabor Szabo, and all the people they managed to get as guests: Herbie, Chick, Ron Carter, etc. I can remember listening to some of the Deodato and Herbie Mann stuff when I was kid, and along with some JBs LPs and my brother's Parliament compilation CD, it nourished my inner Funky Sactown.

it's hard to find any real quality old wax around my parts (unless you're looking for country- and not the good kind),
so imagine my surprise to find this gem at the local shop:
one of my all time faves, right there.

Haven't been digging much but happened to find a new spot in my town so stopped in and found this Gem...
I had no idea what it was, put it down and then my spidey-sense kicked in and made me pick it back up! Record Karma rules...
Nujabes what!?

Got these last weekend from a few different spots (a garage sale, an estate sale or two). Really cool stuff. The Blues Project album has the sample from "Flute Loop" by the Beasties. The Percussion Exotique record is some 1960 exotica LP, a great record for loops etc I could tell from the first listen....The Music Machine LP has some cool garage rock / psych rock on it. All in all, a good weekend for digging........haven't been getting to dig as much lately, been trying to finish this album I've been working on for over a year....probably finishing it in the next week or two. I'll be sure to post links to download it for free if anybody is interested......cheers- greg

a ways back when the 'new' Blu & Exile came out, i sprung for the deluxe version which came with a cassette of the instros...
it really made me realize how great cassettes are in a way... especially in the car. f***ing indestructible- much unlike CDs, which i have grown to loathe. (i wonder how much money i have spent over the years on CDs that no longer play even though they have little to no visible damage?)
super glad i hung on to my double tape deck.
now if i could just get my hands on one of those under-dash 45 players!

I'm about to go to bed, so I'm gonna hold off the pics, but tonight, I nabbed:
Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller (got it home before I even realized it's the album with "Cucumber Slumber" on it... look it up, PUTS-heads)
Gabor Szabo - Mizrab (another one for the CTI collection... with Bob James, Ron Carter & Billy Cobham)
George Duke - Faces in Reflection (listened to a bit of it tonight and it's fonky)
A rare "Four Tracks from Steely Dan" UK release with some unreleased stuff on it (for you Yacht rockers in the house)
...and finally, Leo Kottke - 6 and 12 String Guitar (a d*mn good finger-picking guitarist... dude's amazing)

Under dash 45 player?!?! 
lmao at this whole thread.. On mixing things up in the other one, I always took the title as meaning records new to you. That "NEW" is in quotes doesn't help the confusion much haha. Doesn't matter to me if they're all in the same thread but maybe if people want to separate them we could specify a "New Releases" Wax thread along with a more general one?
But back to more important matters.. Been lookin for Mysterious Traveller and Mizrab both since I first started diggin bout 3 years ago, got damn some good sh!t!

..(hadn't even heard of Tappan Zee..
Woooow so I'm walkin down the street like twenty minutes after I posted this and into my head pops "put em in the back with the other Tappan Zee sh!t" so I pull out my iPod and whaddya know! There all along, right under my nose, and I just had no clue what he was saying. Crazy how my subconscious was able to make that connection out of nowhere, within an hour of learning the term.
Now I'm feeling like I'm really diverging from the thread if I don't get some pics up in here, so here's some eye candy for y'all:
Don't think any of these are rare or anything, but I wouldn't know. Alls I knows dey be dope!
Love these David Lewiston field recordings for the Nonesuch explorer series. Type of music and instruments I'd rarely hear otherwise, and always some sick samples

haven't posted in this thread in a minute, but you know the digging never stopped.
as it turns out, there's a half decent record shop in the city about an hour away that has about 15,000 45s by my estimate... that nobody even thinks to look at.
here's the catch: they charge *25 cents* apiece!!!
i've taken 5 trip down there so far, and sit and dig for about 3 or 4 hours each time...
usually come away with about 100 45s each time, but still have yet to actually go thru the whole lot of them.
imagine, 100 45s for $25!
best part is, the records are mostly all from a now defunct radio station, and most are *minty-fresh* condition Canadian pressings and come in those cool old school green cardstock sleeves. i have found a couple that had been taped into the sleeves with packing tape... unfortunate, but once the tape is cut, the wax inside is just like the day it was made. f***ing unreal.
so, my funk/soul 45 collection is getting solid, and i have disco on lock. even found OG copies of 'Rapper's Delight' and 'Brass Monkey'. i'm headed back there saturday to dig thru it some more, and instead of just taking music i want, i'm going to look for any old thing that is in NM condition... there's lots of old rock n roll and country records in there that i haven't really bothered with.
now that is what i call a *SOUND INVESTMENT*

OceanMan, feck me, are you writting about a dream you had or is this for real?!?!?!?!?!?!? Don't normally do envy but wow!!
Reminds me of a dj who back in the mid 90's in Torquay, Devon UK, had just loads of mint hip hop & funk records. Asked him one day how he got 'em. He told me he went to the local Radio station who's tag line at the time was 'blagh blagh blagh & NO RAP' (I kid you not), asked them what they did with there 'rap' records they get sent. All untouched, never played. Sold them to him in bulk!!!!!!! Damn, still wish I would have thought of that!
