How much?!

[texasvinyl]

$33, way more than I'd normally spend for a fancy single, but I will make an exception for these guys.

[texasvinyl]

Can I just say, I am freaking stoked for this Sonor reissue!!

[10T5]

Thanks for the heads up

[texasvinyl]

Dug out Park Avenue on Duse label, not my favorite. There is a Discogs review from a guy saying "every track is a masterpiece" (coincidentally same guy is listing it for 10x market value!), but I find the late 70s sound pretty cheesy in most parts. The color effect on the cover art reminds me a bit of Roma Bene (a much better record than Park Avenue!!)

[deafmetal]

@Texas - Agreed, I don't feel it's some of his best work. Also, what's up with that French shop putting those stickers on the LP sleeves? Have you seen that OG copy of Il Corpo with three of those stickers randomly stuck on the sleeve? What in the eff.

[texasvinyl]

@deaf, Editions Montparnasse 2000 was the French library record label that put out the Janko Nilovic records. There seems to be some level of crossover between French and Italian library stuff (for example the April Orchestra series), so my guess is the copies like this Park Avenue with the Montparnasse 2000 stickers were stock copies of the Italian releases kept by the French label. But who knows, the mystery is part of the fun :) I have a few Italian records with these stickers, most imported from France not Italy

[texasvinyl]

I had little idea what to expect, but there are some great tracks here as well as some silly/cheesy ones. I like Condor, Sharks (of course the shark one is the best!), Hawk, Whaling, and Albatross. These are much moodier and darker/more suspenseful than I imagined.

This is Volume 2 of Animals

[Vapormeyer]

Shark songs are always the best. Something else strange I find is that I always seem to like track 9 the best on the majority of my albums. It's completely ridiculous I know, but more often than not, if I'm really enjoying a song on an album, it's track nine.

As promised, tunes from the 80's US cheezefunk library:

[texasvinyl]

jazzy/funky/bossa/lounge goodness all around, and it has great jacket art too

[milliondollars]

@Texas: haha! it's so funny because I had the same record in my hands already. this record has made it arround the world a few times aready. i recognized the busted bottom right corner from your image. a while ago i negotiated a bargain price with the seller but he sent me a totally wrong item describtion and i was not happy with it so i returned it.

great stuff @deaf! really appreciate your uploads!!

[milliondollars]

another one i played this weekend. amazing and overlooked record from the Music Scene label. there exists another version on Fonovideo which has a cool cover design and the tracks are named after some famous spirits...

@million the seller ERNYALDISKO definitely overgrades, I am surprised you returned this copy though. There are a lot of marks on the disc so I was concerned with the condition, but it plays clean. I previously bought the Risonanze series from them, and those discs arrived very dirty but cleaned up nicely after a good cleaning.

[texasvinyl]

Vincenzo Tempera - Piano Piano on EMI. Mostly elevator music, a couple decent loungy jazz tracks, but this LP is all about the psych funk track called "Ansia"

There is a 7" with cooler cover art, but it's harder to find and costs a lot more than the LP

@texasvinyl: i was not satisfied with the condition plus and i have a copy already. like is said, we negotiated a crazy bargain price so i thought i give it a try and keep an extra copy for trades...

[milliondollars]

Basil Kirchin always gets me. there are several Kirchin related releases on De Wolfe but this and Don't Loose Your Cool i consider masterpieces. love those old De Wolfe 10inches...

@million -

Sonofabitc*h!

I'm really gonna have to stop looking at this damn thread...... ;)

[milliondollars]

^ haha! son of a dusty old librarian bitch would suit me better.

i found some mad libraries in Hong Kong so you better avoid this thread for a while...

[Dollarhyde]

Alright dudes, @texas and @milliondollars some killer hauls both of you have bagged.

Curious to see your other Hong Kong finds @milliondollars.

On a side note @scojo, many thanks for TMWFTE homemade OST, not spun it yet but the package is a beauty. I love the choice of cd case, the design also is very classy looking.

[milliondollars]

@Dollar: will post pictures of some of the stuff i found when i actually play it....

126 on Music Scene is profilic and one of the best electronic libraries. totally amazing record! on one hand i can't play it often enough but on the other it is driving me completely insane which is dangerous for my family, haha!. peep the discogs entry as there is a full album clip.

Cool, Look forward to it.

That Gianni Safred looks intriguing, never heard of him before will have to check it out.

[milliondollars]

Safred is a amazing. i found two of his albums in HK, that's why i am so excited about him. still looking for his last LP which is not listed on discogs yet. was so close to it but i missed it :(

check his stuff out, he's great!
