Vinyl Community: Vinyl Finds #76

[@Paneeks1960]

Good morning Chris. What a great haul of jazz and some. The Arthur Conley was a nice find. One of my soul favorites. Such a huge talent. I pulled out my old singles recently. I must have spun 'Sweet Soul Music' about five times. That would make it into my top ten songs of all time list. If I ever do one. {smile} De La's 'Stakes Is High' and Herbie's Empyrean Isles' were huge finds. Those nineties hip hop pressings are getting rarer by the day. We would have cases of new release CD's come in the store and just two boxes of vinyl. The DJ's were buying up the vinyl pressings. That Billy Harper is a cool find. The copy of Monk's 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' that I picked up at RSD a few years back was released by Sam Records. A really nice pressing. I did pick up the Hooker reissue from AP. I dig how they did the Impulse labels. It sounds fantastic like you stated. Man. I feel like I was just on a vinyl record ride at Six Flags. {smile} You got to put on the lap-bar before watching one of your new update Chris. Outstanding stuff across the board. Thanks for sharing them all. I hope that all is better than ever on the west coast. Let the sun shine~ Rob/Boston

I have been trying to pick up some more 90’s hip hop pressings when they’re not too spendy. Sam is a top 3 current label at the moment. Everything they put out is quality. Hope you’re doing well Rob...take care!

Thanks for watching Mike! White Rabbit was new to me but I did enjoy it.

I love Empyrean Isles, I would love to find an OG of that. The first 3 Hancock albums are my favorite. I recently got that Hooker album also, I was surprised it was on Impulse. I need to buy more blues from Analog Productions. I had so much in in CD, now I have to pick and choose what I want. Soul Station is awesome, right in my wheelhouse. That was a lot of pickups and even a gatefold crack thrown in for good measure. Steve

Can’t beat a good old gatefold crack...lol. I agree on Herbie’s first 3 albums although Head Hunters is great. Anything from AP is great. Take care!

Loved hearing that gatefold crack on the John Lee Hooker... I got that Hank Crawford for a buck - definitely safe and standard but ok.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I think the Crawford would be a good deal for anything less than $5. Like you said very safe but okay.
