Added some 50's R&B to my box. Big Walter Price, who I thought was from Louisiana but actually might be Texas. The flip sounds like swamp pop in the vein of Slim Harpo. But this one is good:
 

My dad died May 31st. Looking at all his "stuff" he's left for us to deal with made me realize I have to get rid of lots of shit. Though I'm 41 and hopefully nowhere near dying, I still don't want to leave the same situation for my son. But I like buying records. So at some point, I want to cash out. But not any time soon.

Took a flier on a couple Horace Silver LPs today for $30. 

"Searching for the 27th Man"

"Silver's Serenade"

 

The Serenade is a legit first pressing in VG+ condition - deep groove in side one. I won on that flier - I knew the condition was good and I couldn't even get a repress of either at those prices, so too a shot and scored. 

Searching for the 27th Man is good. I've had a copy before. Lame cover, great album.

Oh. That's easy and I had no idea. Thanks!

Traded a friend recently for a copy of this fun tune:

Keeping with Lexi's theme... I don't think I ever posted this. I found her LP in a big lot I got in 2019. The LP was OOP at one point and still pulls $300-400 regularly.  It's great soul but I'm definitely going to sell the LP eventually because it's not that great. However, this song is absolutely amazing. I'd like to find the 45 for cheap.

Fomo sux...

It does. I'm trying to decide on a move date to a different state and it's not making it easier to anticipate if I'll still be here or be moved by the time they actually ship.

I got Blood Moon and red. This is a significantly great album. I thought Virus was good. But I don't spin it often. I can see playing this on repeat for months straight.

Damn it. I bit the bullet and bought that damn thing. My mono Columbia 6-eye sounds great, so I don't really know why I got this. Pure FOMO. I'd hate to find out that this new pressing even blows the original out of the water. I've never experienced or heard of that happening with old jazz pressings, but who knows.

I am really thinking about getting one. 

Yeah, same. I want Extensions back.

I literally let out a few drops of urine from laughter whenever I read "5 years later," "2 years later," and "3 years later."

Goddamn.

The upcoming Mobley reissue is essential. Looking forward to it. 

 

I slept on the Grant Green "Nigeria" Tone Poet. I'd love to find a trade on that one. I came into a copy of "Solid" not long ago. Best $10 I've spent on a piece of vinyl in months. 

 

I really liked the Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" rsd collection and am looking forward to the Jack Johnson collection coming in July. 

 

I spent a lot of time with jazz during covid. Found my way into a few cool albums (Any of you ever listened to McCoy Tyner's "Asante" - a pal pulled it for me and it just shows the depth of what is out there in the genre). Bought part of a collection and regretted not taking more.  Anyway, Jazz gave me a lot of joy and got me a bit more engaged with collecting on all aspects of my collection. 

The aforementioned collection I referenced above that was purchased in the summer of 2019 had Asante (which I haven't sold yet - need to spin again).  But it also had his album Extensions. I sold it and wanted it back. It's great. Especially this track:

Haha. Awesome! And, no, you definitely informed me of something new. Totes NOLA stuff but never have. The label that's releasing it is out of Alabama so that be why I haven't seen much press. But never did.

I feel like you posted this for me specifically. And if you didn't, I don't care. I just want to believe.

It's funny you mentioned that because I got my second dose of Moderna yesterday. The symptoms personally were much worse than I expected. I was burning up in the night with a high fever. My body felt cold but I was actually very hot and I couldn't stop shaking for over an hour. Today I feel  like I've been wacked with a frying pan on my head and arm. I thought I'd be fine working from home but I called out. But it's probably better than getting COVID.

Yeah, because the first dose wasn't really anything, I sort of expected to be unfazed by the second one. Haha, I called out of work because I knew I could use a sick day with little consequence. But it hit. God. No joke. But yes better than COVID.

Because I never worked from home and was essential the whole time, I was offered the Moderna two shot vaccine back in January and February through work. First shot of Moderna was fine, no real symptoms except my arm hurt at point of contact. Second shot, though, I had symptoms 18-20 hours afterward. I called out of work. Had chills, was achy, feverish and fatigued. Only really lasted the day, but I was still a little lethargic the second day too. Overall, no complaints.

I had it in my cart and didn't pull the trigger because I just got this stimulus money. I'd buy BEAA if anyone is selling since I don't have it.

Never was a secret.

so, you need to put it in a safe IMMEDIATELY.  Minimum of 6 inch thick stainless steel 316L gauge, submarine steel if you can find one made in that material. Inside the safe itself, place the signed record inside an airtight, vacuum sealed container. MAKE SURE no physical part of the album is touching ANYTHING else. Construct a room in your house which will be the main holding area - you'll need to construct some ramparts in case anyone comes by sea, and some trenches or a moat in case they come for it by land.  The room should be at least 25x25 in dimensions - and be sure to spring for the most expensive HVAC system you possibly can - you have NO IDEA how much value your record will lose if even a DROP of humidity touches it. Once you've got the room built and kitted out with the latest and greatest in humidity and temperature control - dig a shaft a MINIMUM of 50 feet deep. You'll need to hire a contractor who can install steel reinforced sides on this shaft so you are not at an increased risk from someone trying to tunnel in and steal the record. Lower the safe, with the record inside, down the shaft slowly - resting on the bottom where it has been stabilized against tectonic movement, earthquakes, etc.  Once the safe is safely (haha) at the bottom, you're going to want to fill in the shaft with concrete. Don't worry, the record is perfectly safe if you've followed the rest of this guide -- but this is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP in making sure this record never sees the devilishly destructive UV rays of the sun or the horrific harm of humidity damage.

 

If you want to display it, make sure you take a picture (flash OFF!!!!!!!!!) before completing the above steps - then frame the picture. 

I pissed myself as soon as I got to "IMMEDIATELY."

I saw this. I own all the LP's so I don't need this, but I don't have BE & A (because obviously it was never pressed). I don't see how a 14 LP box set can be under $300. I guess I'm on the fence. I am sure these will sell out because half of these have been OOP for twenty years.

This popped up as a BIN a week ago Friday. Immediately bought it. Got it in my hands five days later from Japan ($24 FedEx shipping!). Anyway, it's so fun:

I bought a shirt and zip up hoodie from Holy Mountain like fifteen minutes early because it was up. Then I refreshed on Bandcamp and got both blood moon and red variants. 

I want to go, but who knows what September looks like. I've received both doses of the Moderna vaccine but my son hasn't nor his mom.

It's so gorgeous. I love it.
