Brenda Ray Update and Did I Find My Grail??

An update and some new acquisitions for my post-punk dub goddess.
And did I find my grail??? Kind of...
Here's the original artist appreciation I did for Brenda Ray 3 years ago. Much more background about her and her recordings.
• Episode 97: Artist App...

Brenda Ray sounds like something I would listen to in the 90’s.

[@seekingathread]

She's a beautiful weirdo.

[@StuntrockConfusion]

I just realized there's tons of nu disco from 2005-2010 you would love love love

[@seekingathread]

That is a good guess...I'll watch the streams...

[@diamond_marimba]

hopefully better than nu metal

Interesting story about the sellers. I love having a few of these tales to tell about collecting records. It’s half the fun for me. Lol. I feel so fortunate as I have been very lucky even when I took a bit of a gamble on a seller. Everything usually worked out to my advantage. Just remember, the hunt makes getting that “grail” in your hands worthwhile. Really interesting artist you mention too - completely new stuff to me. Great video. Cheers! Shawn

[@seekingathread]

Hello Shawn. Oh I've been hunting for sure. I only hope I can find it in person at a fair or shop or through some other exotic method. Finding it on Discogs almost seems not the way. But I will snag it if I see.

Very cool to see some Brenda Ray love in the VC! I just got turned on to her music recently. Downloaded the Naffi LP and Brenda & The Beach Balls 12" earlier this year, great great stuff. Been after those recs ever since but it's hard to find them for a reasonable price. A Naffi LP was just on ebay like last week. I was all set to win it with a hundred dollar bid but of course at the last minute some punk put in a winning bid of $112 😭 DAMN! So close....😔

[@seekingathread]

ah damn, sniped at the last second. I've been there for sure. I'm not sure why much hasn't been reissued either. Just the D'ya Hear Me comp which is definitely worth having as well

[@2WheelsGood]

the continued saga of Dom and Brenda Ray. she's out there buddy, keep sending signals.

[@seekingathread]

Haha, the signals are up as are the wantlist numbers! lol

[@JGYokohama1]

Her dub stuff is nice.

[@vinylstockholm]

She's totally new to me, but sounds interesting for sure. Love a good vinyl hunting story, I'm sure you'll find Walatta one day.

[@seekingathread]

I believe I will at some point but I may not be helping my cause. Now 970 people are looking lol

[@vinylstockholm]

@@seekingathread Oh no! 982 now, you're a big influencer! 🙂

[@DiscoDevil123]

I only knew about the Naffi LP and the Beach Balls 12". I didn't know about this Walatta album. Very excited to check it out. Thanks for the heads up Dom!

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

Never heard of Brenda, this stuff is rad.

[@seekingathread]

Fusion in her own right, and uniquely bizarre

[@markspooner1224]

I've still never found any in the wild (and I always look).

[@seekingathread]

Ah very good. Glad you are keeping a look out Mark

[@andrewwilson4733]

Are you aware of a compilation called 'Various - !!?!...A Taster' included a Naffi song, I missed an opportunity to grab it cheep-ish once!

[@seekingathread]

Hey Andrew, I have never seen that. Looks like that track only appears there too. Well that is something I will have to find as well but doesn't seem like I'll come across it anytime soon. Great recommendation!

[@andrewwilson4733]

@@seekingathread great! wasn't sure if its a unique song

[@Localbandography]

I was going to say you might have to go straight to the artist if possible.

[@seekingathread]

This is the way to go.

[@soundofminder]

Completely unfamiliar with her, will check her out

[@seekingathread]

I actually was going to mention it to you in Japan (since the label is Japanese) but figured it was a long shot anyway. The last few copies do seem to have been located there.

[@soundofminder]

@@seekingathread next time! there's gotta still be a few copies out there as well.
