Jan Hammer of Miami Vice theme fame on the Abercrombie album. Nice finds!

[@trentsrecords]

Had no idea! That’s awesome! Hahaha, thanks man. Cheers!

[@michiganrecordclub4484]

Love Black Cat Bones. Nice Cymande records. I still need a copy.

[@trentsrecords]

Both albums are super good. Really want a super clean US pressing of it, but in due time. Cheers!

[@hubtunes9607]

Hey Trent! Great stuff!! Interesting Japanese Psych. Joe & Brian are fantastic. Two of my favorite channels. 🎶☮️🎶

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Mike, Kikagaku is a great band! Really great musicians and great energy live. Agreed Joe & Brian though! Both great channels where I learn a lot of music and history I never knew or probably would’ve known otherwise. Cheers Mike take care!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Sorry it took so long to see you very nice shoutout. Thank you very much for thinking about me! Truly excellent suff in this video. I still don't have a copy of that Johnny Cash record.

[@trentsrecords]

Hahaha no worries Brian! You’re very welcome and I’m not doin it for the thank you’s, but just wanna shout out some channels and people I really enjoy watching! But San Quentin is a great album!

[@tuanma9026]

Great video as always

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you my dude!

[@griftopiasvinylloungewithd5520]

Nice finds Trent. Timeless is a great album love Dejohnette's drumming and cymbal work.

[@trentsrecords]

Hey man! Thank you! I agree with you there. Everyone’s playing on that album is just top notch. Super happy to finally have a copy, cheers man!

[@griftopiasvinylloungewithd5520]

@@trentsrecords Richard Beirach, Elm is a really good ECM title you don't see much. He is a pianist that was buddies with Evans, similar sound. George Mraz and Dejohnette complete the trio. Snow Leopard is a great tune on side two. I am kinda of Kicking myself i picked up Conference of the Birds today for my brother but now i want one! Ha!

[@trentsrecords]

@@griftopiasvinylloungewithd5520 Man, I don’t think I know any of these albums hahaha. I think I may have heard of Conference of the Birds, but I’m gonna have to check these out! Thanks man!

[@ilyapisman818]

Hey Trent, thanks for another killer video. So bummed to see your operation Barbed Wire Sandwich was a bust but hey! super-glue those 2 bad boys worse sides inward and you got yourself a nice 300g copy 😜 Whoa - that Bobby Hutcherson San Francisco album is truly great. I will definitely be seeking one for myslef. Thanks for showing it! Still cannot believe you found those 2 Black Jazz records - much less on the same day - much less a sealed original! Those are killer! I recently found Gene Russell's New Direction album and that one is also awesome - I love that record. I am hoping those 2 Black Jazzes made up for some of the Barbed Wire and ink disappointments. Thanks again for the video! Be well.

[@trentsrecords]

Hi Ilya! But I just may have to make the first ever 300 g album in existence! It’ll be amazing lol. That Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land album is super super good though! When I first heard it I was a little upset it had taken me that long to find out about it hahah. Definitely track a copy down if you can, but knowing you you’ll definitely be able to! Hahah I couldn’t believe it about the Black Jazz titles either! It was crazy and I was super stoked. I love the Black Jazz label so was very excited to add some titles into my collection, definitely made up for the whole Barbed Wire Sandwich fiasco lol. New Direction is really great! Might be adding it to the collection here soon.. Cheers Ilya! Thank you and I hope you take care as well, can’t wait to hear from ya next!

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Hey Trent, those are some great finds. I agree that Johnny Cash was better live. Black Cat Bones has been on my radar for a long time, such a phenominal album. My friend got Cymande for a dollar right in front of me and I was super jealous, definatly kicks ass for sure. I still dont have a copy, but ive listen to it 50 times on spotify. I've never taken the shrink off of an album, but I've got a few where it might be better to take it off, I just can't bring myself to do it lol. I'm planning on making a video soon, but I've also been in that real lazy mood. Gonna check out those Gene Russell albums later. Have a good week!

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Sorin! Good to hear from ya man and thank you! Cymande is super good man, very happy to get a pretty good copy of it. Even if it isn’t a first pressing lol. I’ll still take a rarer later pressing too. But once you get the shrink off of one album it’ll be easier to do the rest! Lol. You’ll get there eventually. Looking forward to the video though man! Cheers dude!

[@martinsvinyl1985]

The sacred mushroom!!!! Amazing album, I also has a reissue. Finding an original is very very rare, even harder here in the 🇬🇧. Albums that peaked my interest is Coryell, not heard of that one before, cant wait to listen to it. Great video.

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Martin, Sacred Mushroom is seriously good! I know you dig the blues rock stuff so I’m not surprised you’re into it hahah. But it is rare! Super hard to even find a copy here, but know some people that have a copy. But that Coryell album is super interesting. If you like shredding psych guitar then definitely recommend! Cheers Martin, hope ya have a good week!

[@martinsvinyl1985]

@@trentsrecords Dude!!! Just finished Coryell, not only was the guitar was on 🔥 the rest of the backing band were amazing. The only thing that let it down slightly for me was the vocals weren’t doing it for me, he only sings on a couple of tracks anyway and for not very long (I’m guessing it’s Larry Coryell singing?). I quickly went onto his next album ‘Spaces’ but that one is definitely more jazz oriented. I will definitely be on the hunt for psychedelic guitar one. Thanks for the recommendation is was killer!!!

[@trentsrecords]

@@martinsvinyl1985 I think the guitar is definitely the main attraction of the album and the backing band too! From what I gather it was more of an experimental album for Coryell. He really is a jazz guitarist through and through, and I’m not a huge fan of the vocals either but I also don’t think they’re horrible. Overall a killer instrumental album! Happy you enjoyed it man!

[@franksmusic2880]

All three Cymande albums have been reissued if your still looking for them and they sound fabulous. ✌️

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you for the heads up! Appreciate the info!

[@thibs2442]

Dude paranoid cocoon is such a great album. I listen to that one often man. I actually saw them live once back in the day too.

[@trentsrecords]

Dude it’s sooooo good! I’m happy someone else knows it lol. I honestly think it’s a perfect record from start to finish but side B is definitely where it’s at for me. Cheers man!

[@StonersStashbox]

Nice finds. Bummer about Barbed Wire Sandwich. Thats one album on my most wanted list. Later Trent

[@trentsrecords]

Stoner, my man, thank you! Barbed Wire Sandwich is so good. If I ever find a better copy of it I’d be happy to send you this one, but not lying when I say it’s pretty beat up haha. Cheers man!

[@johncrabb4053]

Great finds. I’ve been seeing Earl Bostic for quite some time now. All at thrift stores and all for a buck. I didn’t realize he was Jazz. Thanks for the insite on him I’ll be getting some for sure. Today I found a great copy of Thin Lizzy the Black Rose awesome find. I also filled in a spot in my Joan Jett collection. I also picked up two Chris Connor albums for a buck apiece. My record room got put off till son goes back to college. It’s an excuse I know. I just need to do the damn video , and start my channel. Chat latter Trent.

[@trentsrecords]

Thanks John! But yeah Earl Bostic is super interesting. You’ll have to let me know what you think of his playing, because I find it super intriguing for being the 50’s. But awesome! Love me some Thin Lizzy. I actually got to meet Scott Gorham a few years back, super nice guy. But like I said I’ll be there when you finally make it, cheers man!

[@Vinylly_Found]

Hey Trent. Recently subbed and digging your videos. Sampled that Bobby Hutcherson and am liking it. Had a little of a Mwandishi vibe. Not sure I would pay whats going for though. Missed the boat I guess. Love that Cymande, it was my first online purchase 6 or 7 years ago. Need their 2 after. Black jazz is killer, I havent seen in the wild in quite some time. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

[@trentsrecords]

Thanks man! But you should keep an eye on it…sometimes a nicely priced copy will pop up so worth checking here and there! Cymande is really great through. Their first 3 albums are really fantastic and have been wanting their 2nd and 3rd quite a bit. Cheers man, thanks for the comment!

[@thehypnagogicstate4607]

Black Cat Bones! Nice score (sort of 🙃). It sucks when your gamble on a record doesn’t work out. Hopefully you didn’t pay too much for it. Your third copy will be the one. Sacred Mushroom is cool. For sure the cover is more psychedelic than the music itself. Haven’t listened to it in a while. Fantastic cover though. Live Cash is definitely the best Cash for sure. Cheap clean copy in the shrink, all day. Still looking for that Coryell! It’s fantastic and haven’t seen it in the wild yet!

[@trentsrecords]

Hey man! Yeah I was pretty disappointed when the other one wasn’t even slightly nicer…but all in all I didn’t spend thattt much, but just enough to where it was mildly irritating lol. Sacred Mushroom is a pretty great bluesy album, really want an original because I’m originally from Ohio and they’re from Cincinnati! But agreed on Cash, so so good on all his live albums. I don’t see that Coryell too often though! But it does pop up here and there, so I hope you’re able to snag a copy soon! Cheers man!

[@alexm.8674]

Question - do you have your turntable plugged in behind your record shelves?

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Alex, I do actually have it plugged in back there

[@alexm.8674]

@@trentsrecords appreciate the response. I’m moving my setup around and was nervous about having my albums close to the outlet.

[@trentsrecords]

@@alexm.8674 I totally get that. I guess I never really gave it much thought hahaha, might be a mistake on my part, but no issues up to this point

[@thierrydefrance7220]

hi Trent: it's Ascenseur pour l'échafaud. elevator to the gallows. thierry

[@trentsrecords]

Yes! That’s the one! I just don’t know how to pronounce it lol, but did not know that’s the translation for it either so thank you! Cheers!

[@scottspinner1]

Hi Trent. The twins lp is cool. Out to lunch a classic lp. Larry you don’t cool organ music. Nice Bobby hutcherson lp don’t know it.

[@trentsrecords]

Hey George, that Twins album is pretty interesting. Had never heard of it until I saw it and it was cheap so why not grab it? The Hutcherson album is very groovy but also filled with post bop. A great listen. Cheers!

[@deancronin6934]

Ironically I went to a record show today and saw a 1st press of the Sacred Mushroom first press for $400, had to pass tho

[@trentsrecords]

Oh no way…yeah definitely hard to find em, have been looking for a long time, but at $400 I’d pass too….think $200 might be my limit on it. Find anything else at the show? Cheers Dean!

[@deancronin6934]

@@trentsrecords found The Undisputed Truth, Motown’s version of Funkadelic, some Papa John Creach, some soul records, biggest find was a hip hop album, OGC (Original Gun Clappaz) Da Storm, amazing 90’s album very rare. I was in heaven though, there were 10K $5 albums to dig through
