    Timmy that long version of Lovin is Really My Game is probably if not the best [[opinions differ) one of the best long versions of any dance song I have ever heard. Donna Summer, and other disco people translate well to CD but there is something about Brainstorm that wouldnt its hard to explain but I think you know what I mean you have to feel it which you do or you wouldnt even have understood what I said. Im glad we think alike.

    Tim is lucky enough to be presently living where there is an active vinyl outlet, Papa Jazz, in Columbia, SC, my former
    stomping grounds. There are others, like Jai, aka arr & bee who live where vinyl is bein sold on the regular. Here in NYC
    which USED to be the vinyl capital I guess folks could make the trip to JNR which started re-selling vinyl a couple of years
    ago or poke around the village and see who's still in business. I haven't had the time in the last few years but this thread
    reminds me it make be worth the effort. Dang, I remember when I was a youngin all I had to do what put on my shoes, go
    downstairs and cross the dang street for anything I'd heard on the radio I wanted....

    No. These are albums that I copped recently in a bid to replenish the vinyl that I had to sell to keep money in my pocket when I first moved to SC.

    Acutally, I'm back in NJ, Splank. I went to a record store in Red Bank that didn't really deal with prime original vinyl until now. They've been surprising me of late. Really nice looking vinyl at really cheap prices.

    Do these kids really know the importance of vinyl, or are they getting caught up in some sort of phase? Wait and see I guess.

    very good question timmy,i wrote a short time ago that i've noticed some of the youngins digging our great music but vinyl is a different thing unless they have relatives who have told them about vinyl then i think they won't dig it anywhere near as much as we do and it would be just another passing thing to them.

    They have way more alternatives than we had. When we were buying vinyl, the only other alternatives were 8-tracks and cassettes. Reel to reels weren't available. These kids have far more alternatives than we had.

    She was a little under the weather when I saw them at the Keswick Theatre a couple of weeks ago. Kendra Foster had to do her songs. I was able to get her to autograph both Brainstorm albums. She really got a kick out of seeing those albums, as did Steve Boyd when he signed two of my Five Special albums.

    .
    If it's Westbound #1001 ,then it's a first pressing. There's also 20th Century/Westbound W-208 ,the pressing after 20th Century aquired distribution of Westbound ,in the same year of 74. The W-208 that I have has "Promotional Copy" printed on the label above the record number. Not that one is any better than the other ,it's just an observation that I had and I just thought it was interesting.
    74 was the year 20th Century Records started to make some noise in the R&B market, with the success of Barry White ,the R&B division expanded and they aquired the distribution rights for Westbound. Westbound at the time had The Ohio Players and Funkadelic , two bands that were gaining popularity as the cutting edge in the evolving Funk genre ,one Jazz based [[O.P.) ,and one Rock based [[Funkadelic). Both groups had developed a following ,that Westbound needed the advantages of 20th C.'s distribution ,to meet demand. It seemed like a deal for both companies ,but the major labels were also scoping out the R&B market and scooped up The O.P. [[to MERCURY) and Funkadelic [[to WARNER). Interesting when you look back at past events surrounding the time periods of , and the vinyl recordings that we enjoy collecting. That's also a part of the thrill of collecting and listening to music. Admit it ,or "If you don't know now you know" ,[[Biggie).

    "The mission ain't over. It ain't never over."
    Sho you right , or as my motto is ,"It's the thrill of the hunt!"

    My most recent adventure got me 12" by The Jacksons ,"Body" remix ,and Smoke City ,"Dreams" , both with Inst "B" sides ,for $3 each and ZULEMA"S second RCA album for $8.

    Now you know me better than that, DA. Straight up orignal Westbound copy. Aside from a reissue vinyl of Cosmic Slop, I don't have any P-Funk reissues in my collection.

    The vinyl re-up just took a strange and unexpected turn. Went to Funk & Standard [[yes, that the name of the store) and picked up the first two Brothers Johnson albums [[original mint copies) and asked them to put Imagination-Just An Illusion and Spandau Ballet's "True" album on hold. They threw airthang together and told me to pay when I can. Then went to Jack Music in Red Bank and copped Santana's Greatest Hits, Bobby Womack's "Safety Zone", and Stevie Nicks' "Bella Donna". They threw in "London Town" by Wings for free. Still wrapping my head around this. Long live vinyl!!!!! Vinyl rules!!!!!!

    "Yes-Fragile. So clean it sparkles. $1.99."
    timmyfunk , You went there?? Thats a bad ass recording. As Martin would say , we are
    here >----< [[eye to eye) on that.

    A lot of the on-line outlets have been having sales lately , like "Earthwave.com" and "Music Obsession.com

    I have been collecting some 12" mixes and LP's I have been looking at but waiting for the price to drop. On -line prices can be high on some items , and you have to know what you're looking for. This is what I found this week ,@ 50% off and free shipping. I been waiting on some of these prices to drop on some items and was surprised to find some other items I didn't know existed. I'm as happy as "skeet skeet" :d:d with this order ,cause I love extendeds from TABU , Jam & Lewis and S.O.S. , accapellas and Instr versions in general of any good tracks by any artist.

    Even though I had no intentions on buying any vinyl today, I happened to be near one of my favorite record shops and said "what the heck !" [[why did I say that ?) lol


    Here's what I end up purchasing :

    Main Ingredient - Afrodisiac
    Eddie Harris - Plug Me In

    [[and a few 45s)
    Eddie Kendricks - Son of Sagittarius
    Joe Hinton - Funny
    James Brown - Let A Man Come In And Do the Popcorn
    I Thank You Baby - June Conquest & Donnie Hathaway
    Freddie Hughes - OO Wee Baby I Love You

    all for under a dub. [[that's $20.00)

    Lately, I've been rocking the hell out of All Night Thing by the Invisible Man's Band. I really had to re-evaluate that turn of the decade 12" singles.

Im glad we think alike.
    Stephanie, it [["Lovin Is Really My Game") was one of the best when it came out in my opinion! I have it, as well as most of my music on vinyl! CD's never caught on with me the same way.

    Timmy, it is so interesting you mention that song and the turn of the decade. I always thought of it and the Whispers, "The Beat Goes On" whenever I remember that time. The Invisible Man's Band were on it!!!!

    Paladin, you talking to the choir! I bought that 12" around late November/ early Dec. 1979. I put it on the old stereo back then and wore it out! I use to have the acapella part down! I played it daily back then man. When we talk about truly great and innovative music you have to talk about them......off shoot of the Five Stairsteps or not, they were funky!

    Marv went to that conversation that Timmyfunk and Stephanie had about that vinyl of Brainstorms , in another thread a while back. The album version of LIRMG is great in regards to sonics and playback , but the 12' version ,slaps the shii out of you.The thing that I love about this track is the strings. Symphonic Funk is all I can call it. From the jump ,the real strings and horns slap you in the face and then proceed to wrap themselves around you [[in 5.1 even in vinyl) ,or up in your face in stereo. The first album of this group has never been released on CD ,for what ever reason ,but if and when it is ,whom ever masters it better have his game on. It's excellent for that time periods pressing and mastering/recording ,[[still analog). This album falls into the same catagory as some other iconic albums such as ,South Shore Commission , Second Resurrection , Executive Suite ,etc. They are important projects that were part of the expansion period of R+B/SOUL music, but never released or remastered for CD relase. The fact that they only exist in original vinyl form makes them more valuable. I have 2 copies of B.S. first LP. One to play and one to play on special groove nights. My 2nd Resurrection ,is only played on special
    times .
    But what I didn't know that there was a 12' of ANT. I only have the LP. DAYUM paladin!!!!

    That has to be one of the most joyous 12" singles ever released. Give me a minute and I'll think of some others from around that time.

    If you want to get on the Whispers tip, "Let's Go All The Way" is my personal favorite. An absolute masterpiece.

    Personally, "Hot For You" inches out LIRMG by about a hair. But I still dig it heavily.

    Daddy, you ain't said a thang! Brainstorms' " Lovin Is Really My Game" was almost daily required listening at my house back in 1977. If we weren't playing it, WJLB and WGPR Detroit were ! It was just testament that long after Motown had left town, Detroit still had "it" musically speaking. Michael Henderson, the Dramatics and all of them were at the heights of their popularity, their powers!

    Ok quick, who made this song "Give It Up, [[You Can Dance Forever If you Want to)"? I want to say it was by Mtume, but I can't be sure. I have 12" packed away and can't get at it. It was popular in late 1980.
