    Vinyl re-up kicks off the fall: Public Enemy-Night Of The Living Baseheads [[12" single), Bobby Brown-My Prerogative [[12" single), Go For Your Guns-The Isley Brothers [[promo copy), and George Benson-Weekend In L.A.. Carried from Red Bank, N.J. to Long Branch, N.J. in a Funk & Standard potato sack-like shopping bag. Vinyl jeopardy is a science.

    Hell yeah, I'm on the 12" kick. If you grew up in the 1970's, you had to cop some 12" remixes or extended versions.

    I picked up Jimmy Smiths ,The Sermon @ Academy on 18th Street for $8.00. That's the lp that has "J.O.S. on it , aka Frankie Crockers other theme song.

    On line I found Prince's U.K 12" of Party Man B/W the Long Stroke version of "Feel You up" for $7 USD M-. I been looking for this for a good while ,only the short version was released here and the Long version at min has been going for $20 and up. I said might as well take a chance ,it's $11 with the shipping. This track is baaaddd!!! There's a Larry Graham style bass and some nasty horns in it. I got a confirm E that it shipped , so I give it a week.

    Is anyone else planning to go to the WFUV SHOW next month???

    You won't regret it Timmy, if you're looking for some rare [[and less rare) records.

    6 months ago I found the South African LP from CL Blast "Made In Africa", that I've been tracking down for years !



    And you can also sell your records/CD's on the site : Soul, funk, jazz, etc..

    Herbie Hancock-Headhunters--
    A Super Classic album and group. Chameleon is the crown jewel of this lp ,as awesome today as it was when it first came out in 1973. The funkyest nastyest perfect combination of electric and real analog instruments ,the new sound of Funk and older Modal Jazz elements and the 70's Dance/ Club Music [[pre-Disco) elements, plus the musicians ,all accomplished Jazz genre players, make this L.P. a prime example and aural snapshot of a turning point in what would be the evolution of the later 70's FUNK/R&B/DISCO era of late 74 -79. This is one of Hancock's finest works. His group in 73 is as comparable to Mile's group during the KIND OF BLUE period in terms of talent and creative novelty . It was considered "Electric Jazz" but also was played in Black and Gay dance clubs, and Frankie Crocker played an edited version on his radio show, in the early days of Urban F.M. I was a mobile D.J. at the time [[1973, 19yrs old) and the audience of say a serious dance crowd would dance to the straight track ,dancing apart for the first funky part and changing up for slower jazzy part ,only to go back into the FUNK part again. That was amazing to witness a couple of times. Other crowds would like just the FUNK part sort of looped. But with both ,once that intro ,"bom bom bom bom------bom bom----bom bom bom bom---bom bom--, came on , it was ...Awww--Shiiii---- LOL.................

    Bill Withers--Making Music--[[Columbia) lp --[[1975)
    And this V/A LP from 1988 , a CHARLY import , "The Message Rare Grooves Vol 2". It was one of those compilation LP's that have tracks you already have in one form or another ,except one. One you been looking for ,for a long time. That track for me was DAWSON SMITH's ,"I DONT KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT" from 1977 ,originally a ROADSHOW 45 ,produced by Dawson and George Kerr. This track is classic classic classic FUNK with a monster sax solo by Dawson. Well worth the $10 I paid for it.

    There are 2 sites having "sales" ,[[up to the 13th of NOV) Music Obsession and Earthwave records , that I've bought from and had no problems with.

    I got in the mail today........Brainstorms "Loving Is Really My Game" ,U.K. Red 12" Re-Mix. There's more horns under those great strings than the L.P. mix and the guitars are clearer as well as the percussion. It runs at 7:33 and has a nice breakdown edit.
    Also... Labelle's first transformation Warner Bros L.P. in M- vinyl [[no spindle marks on lable) and very nice clean cover.
    Brainstorm went for $36!! and Labelle $17...........................HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!-------------Since my mother raised ugly children , not stupid children , and these items have been on my list for years.... I bought them @ 60% off when you spent over $50 and free shipping , but the final bill turned out to be $21.56. Somebodys math is off by my calculations but it seems like my MOM did a excellent job!! Thanks goes out to MusicObsession.

    Now I guess I'll catch up on Morris Day L.P.'s I never picked up. The hunt continues.................

    You never know where and what you might find.
    One of my favorite sayings from the "Dazzle" album on Delite , "We are the choosen few that have been blessed, somehow different than the rest"
    And my second favorite saying from Clarence Avant's "Tabu" label , "The earth has music for those who will listen"

    Daddyacey's main quote to many newbies and others, "Said the spider to the fly ,oh yeah, well listen to this shit , as i pull the vintage black vinyl disc from its cover and place it on the turntable and watch them curl up into aural fetal position.

    Yesterday, I located a clean copy of Ace Spectrum "Low Rent Rendezvous", my first.
    Now I can't stop playing the extended instrumental ending of "Keep Holding On"....nearly 9 minutes of layered groove [[is it MSFB?). With it's Blowfly-worthy cover, somehow I wrongly passed over this record for decades. Now strings are swirling, horns are pumping, eyes are shut...in the moment. Moments like these keep me diggin', the lessons never end.

    Just got a vinyl 12" EP from France, courtesy of one Gary Mudbone Cooper of Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, and Sly Fox. The formerly unreleased Gary and Garry album from 1982. A serious pick-me-up for someone getting through a sick day from work.

    I have a friend who has been making live recordings of various local bands at different clubs around town and committing those recordings to limited edition vinyl. It is called the Motor City Special and he is up to vol 5 or 6 now. He has a show on Udetroit.com every Thursday evening. Always an entertaining show. Here is the URL: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/udetroit-live

    Show starts at 10PM Eastern time.

    Also, If you are in the Detroit area and have a turntable that is giving you trouble. I happen to repair them. Been working on them about 30 years. After a few years of not seeing any coming in for service, I have been getting a lot of them. It's good to see.

    In what might be the last Vinyl Re-Up of 2012, the plot thickens:

    BT Express-Do It 'Til You're Satisfied
    Wings-Venus And Mars [[with poster)
    Spandau Ballet-The Singles Collection
    McCartney-Self titled debut
    The Beatles Second Album [[Apple records pressing)

    The following all came out of the $1.00 section of Funk And Standard Variety Store:

    Jermaine Jackson-My Name Is Jermaine
    Gladys Knight and the Pips-Anthology
    John Cougar-American Fool
    Richard Pryor-Live On The Sunset Strip
    Buddy Miles-More Miles Per Gallon
    Rotary Connection-Self titled
    Mongo Santamaria-Red Hot

    For $1.00 a pop, I will free my mind.

    Do you think that value of original 1970's R&B, Soul, and Funk is somehow decreasing? My re-up has been surprisingly easy and generally cheap. This just wasn't the case, even 10 years ago.

    Aww Shucks... That's a good question. I think that the stock of vintage vinyl that has been sitting in storage for years has been made more available at the wholesale level ,since the advent and popularity of the CD format. I have noticed that a lot of the vinyl is new cut-out ,unsold stock as well as a lot of vintage used rare stock that you could not find over the past 5 years or so. I'm shocked at the good to excellent condition of some rare titles I run across. I have found vintage titles that are not on CD for far less and in greater numbers than were available in the past 5 years. For me to have found Maxayn and Ectasy Passion and Pain LP's in excellent condition means that those who had those titles have liquidated them at low prices for lack of storage or lack of the understanding that there are people out there that want those titles. There is also the fact that collectors outside of the U.S. are buying a lot of these titles and also that there is a retro thing going on for true R&B that were ignored during the DISCO period. I have almost 400 retro albums ,for example original pressings of Westbound Ohio Players, Funkadelic ,Solar Whispers,Dynasty, Soul Train Gang ,Stax, Motown and other true classic LP's that are doubles and in good to excellent condition that I will be listing for trade or sale in the new year. [[SDF friends get first dibs of course) It's a strange market. Those that have the most product from that period have no choice but to get rid of them at low prices ,[[that being stores ) but on line outlets offer the same at higher prices because they attract those not in a position to shop in stores in certain areas where the customers are in rural areas. I find or run across titles that go for $10-$20 on line or at shows for $1-$5 in stores here in N.Y.C.

    I know that the record stores that I frequent have dramatically lowered the price of it's vinyl simply to generate more interest in everything else they're carrying. This re-up project has been surprisingly rapid and generally affordable.

    Say DA, you wouldn't happen to have EWF's Faces LP with the poster?
