Or if the jacket is already roached like that onyeabor I picked up last year

I'm listening to it on Amazon Music.

@Giles if you like it, have a look at this documentary:

J-IV

@GraemeE dude your Goodwill is a treasure trove. I guess that's subjective, though. If you are a huge Herb Alpert fan my Goodwill's would be a goldmine.

Inorganic

@GraemeE timeless record

GraemeE

@J-IV this one was actually a record store buy from a spot that had a shocking amount of freshly picked OG African stuff

To be fair on goodwill you can't leave out fans of Andy Williams and Mitch Miller

J-IV

@GraemeE my bad, how could I forgot. lol

From my experience, the OG African stuff I find that I can afford are usually torched. As long as it doesn't skip, I'm usually all for it. Hope that things plays great!

Speaking of - anyone eyeing anything for RSD 2025?

GraemeE

@J-IV haven't done a deep dive on the list but im typically down for at least a novelty su ra re-issue each time rsd rolls around

I def will - thx

This thread is on fire!

I definitely use them @endo. They served me well over the decades. But antistatic inlays after a cleaning was a game changer for me @GraemeE.

At the bottom is my RSD pic of last year @J-IV. One of the ugliest covers you can find, but a beautiful record. Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (Totally Remixed)

Will check out ZTT’s 40 years old

Propaganda - p:Machinery this year.

@Aetas I don’t know how many times I’ve heard, danced, partied to Tainted Love and all of the various remixes over the years…it was a standard for many years.

@GraemeE there's a surprisingly good list of jazz titles getting released for RDS this year but I have my eye on the Lianna La Havas LP if I do make my way to the shop.
Speaking of Sun Ra - I tried to nab one of the Sam's Records' drop of the site crashed. It wasn't meant to be...

@Aetas never heard of Propaganda until you shared it. Synth galore, and can easily be mistaken for something that was made today.

Loved it thank you.

"Arrested for drinking a beer on the pavement whilst black" - Unfuckingbelievable......

endo

obviously a hostile environment can bear great art

Giles

As the commentator said towards the end, "Ironically Joe was gone, but he had unwittingly given birth to a rich and vibrant subculture" (or words to that effect)....

GraemeE

@J-IV this one was rsd last year or the year before

I like it more than I had initially expected to

Relief when Dark Horse (Early Take) comes up

@J-IV
Not the biggest fan of Sun Ra, but I’ve got the Donald Byrd release that they did a few years back in that Artisan series. Sam records in general do really well chosen, good quality reissues.

GraemeE

@Aetas love that version of the song

Could have been a great fit on all things must pass
