2012 February list #1
OST/TV:
Keith Mansfield – Loot (Grail time! VG+/VG CBS 70023 OG UK issue. Ringwear on sleeve. The breaks and beats on offer here are truly unbelievable along with the wicked hammond-led EZ-funk.) £60
Bobby Womack & J.J. Johnson – Across 110th Street (NM unofficial reissue) £18
Melvin Van Peebles – Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (An Opera) (NM reissue) £15
Carmine Coppola & Francis Coppola – Apocalypse Now (vinyl VG – sleeve VG+ original inner sleeves. 2xLP Elektra – ELK 62 025. An unusual approach for a OST; this basically takes chunks of the film – dialogue, effects, music, everything and puts it on 4 sides of vinyl.) £10
Barry White – Together Brothers (G+ crackly Pye Records – NSPL 28203 LP. 21 tracks, not many vocals, lots of great ideas) £8

Jack Parnell And His Orchestra – Great Film Scores Of The 70’s (NM Lp with an “Enter the Dragon” that’s better than Lalo’s version – none of the stupid KungFu FX. Check the clip) £3

OTHER LPs:
Ellison – Ellison (VG bluesy-prog LP Supreme – SR 2900. Canadian release. Cover is VG and if I hadn’t listened to it I’d have said the vinyl grades visually close to NM. Crackles in very quiet parts an between tracks. This has a black and white label rather than the black and yellow one the original has. Guess it’s some sort of reissue, but it’s not the one that’s on a different label.)
Prelude – How Long Is Forever (VG+ LP Dawn Records – DNLS 3052 with “Paris dawn”) £12
Leo Sayer – s/t (VG+ 2xLP on Ellem Records. Hold on – where are you going? As if to prove my argument that everyone has at least one good record in them along comes “Easy to love”. A shame this isn’t on YouTube as it’s a great little boogie/yaughtrock crossover) £3
Harry Nilsson – Knnillssonn (RCA Victor – PL 12276. VG+ LP) £3
OC Smith – Help Me Make It Through The Night (VG+ CBS – C 30664 with a VG sleeve. “Tall oak tree”) £3
Andy Harlow – Pura Salsa! (MINT Discos Completo Lp. Curiousity got the better of me and I broke the seal on this to hear what it was like. It’s pure salsa) £2
steel pan hit songs – little sparrow (VG+ steel drum Lp with the moogy-lounge of “oh sam”) £2
Memories Of Steam (VG+ Hallmark Records – HMA 239. Field recordings of different engines.) £2
Beatfanatic – Adventures In The World Of No-Fi Beats (Sample-based VG 2xLP lots of marks on the vinyl creating clicks all the way through) £2
J.V.C. F.O.R.C.E. – Doin’ Damage (VG+ B-Boy Records – BB 2010 LP reissue. Sleeve is NM – still in shrink. If ‘Strong island’ isn’t the best rap record ever then it must be in the top 3) £3
Freddie Hubbard – Windjammer (VG+ Columbia US LP with a VG sleeve) £2
Raulzinho – Impacto 8 – International Hot (NM 2002 reissue Whatmusic.com – WMLP-0039 LP. Funky latin business including a stomping track that the Wu sampled) £8
Gerardo Frisina – The Latin Kick (NM 2xLP with VG+ sleeve) £8
