car booty

[killer b]

i can cope. you're not going to get rich either. or clever, or handsome.

The Purple Fox sings and plays - tribute to Jimi Hendrix LP for £1
- clocked the cover & remembered it being featured in Record Collector once, sampled by Fatboy Slim etc apparently

I've got essentially the same track (The Acid Test), tacked onto a budget Gladys Knight & The Pips covers album that I picked up for a quid about twenty years ago, but it's re-titled and credited to Funky Junction. As on The Purple Fox album, Leo Muller gets the writing credit.

Interestingly, Funky Junction are reputed to have basically been Thin Lizzy (-plus a couple of others) doing some session work...

jealous of your budget gems knowledge as ever, sunspots.

do you also have an attic of awful mfp compilations, picked up on the offchance that there's a good tune or two on it, or are there reference books?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

imperial rockabillies vol 2 & 3
Ace Story vol two & three
King-Federal Rockabillys
Starday-Dixie Rockabilly

about six poond per piece and some banging banging tunes.

Not quite boot sale prices, but I bet they're great!

I don't have an attic...

...-but this was the last 50p MFP album I bought; I was tempted by their version of Hey Joe, but stumbled across a car boot elsewhere on it...

i know. tbh i think they were slightly marked up but for the total sum of 45's, they're priceless some proper groovy tunes.

 

[Sunspots]

I've not been looking much lately, but my two most recent charity shop purchases have been a Crusaders album, which is too smooth for my liking tbh, and a Polish-language childrens' album all about Peter Pan, which I bought purely for the charming front cover:

(-Unsurprisingly, the back cover features a picture of a large mushroom... )

You're not wrong; even if a compilation turns out to only be a one-tracker, it's still the only way you're probably ever going to get hold of some of that stuff!

good stuff. i found this a few months ago - a not-at-all-bad afro funk lp... (sounds superb appears to be a mfp sub-label...)

my favourite ever mfp release (which i only have on cassette) is magnet disco magic, which i picked up for it's rather odd cover, only to find a comp of quite serious german disco on the cassette. the two child's play tracks in particular (a cover of kool & the gang's 'open sesame' and an original song called 'dancin') are incredible...

 

[killer b]

open sesame ...

Yeah, I've got a couple of tracks by Assagai on this similar album.

It's probably becoming my catchphrase on this thread, but it's an album I found 'for 50p, about twenty years ago'...!

Never heard of this one before, but for MFP, the Open Sesame is actually alright isn't it.

-Magnet Disco Magic... -it doesn't quite make sense as a phrase, but I like it all the more as a result.

hey killer b and anyone interested in serendipitous and beautiful music, interspersed with wry northern charm expressed through geographically and temporally irrelevant weather and wildlife chat, should check this the fuck out:
http://makeshiftadio.podomatic.com/ you need this in your life!



i will return tomorrow to endorse this, in case you see the time and think it's the ravings of a lunatic drunk.

it's a comp of tracks from the magnet record label rather than being a specially recorded mfp release, which explains both the quality of the music and the strange title...

i'm downloading the latest episode orang, and will give it a listen on the way to work...

 

[Orang Utan]

i'll be off to ebay with this one -

the beatles - white album (with inserts & poster, lowish serial number - 0062748)

copies on ebay with a higher serial number (albeit in slightly better condition) seem to be up to over a hundred quid with days to go...

 

[killer b]

it's mono too, which seems to bump up the price...

 

[killer b]

Another mono pressing of the white album today - higher serial number and no inserts, but still worth a quid I reckon. Also

Nexus 21 - progressive logic ep
Shabba ranks | krs 1- the jam

Orbital - omen

 

[The_Reverend_M]

killer b - do people where you live know not the value of records???

 

[killer b]

[The_Reverend_M]

True. Say.

 

[killer b]

oh, i got a copy of stevie wonder's 1969 album 'my cherie amour' too, which is great. has a cracking version of 'light my fire' on it.
