Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns - (Asylum) Fond memories of my childhood and my parents' record collection.

Happy Birthday!

A lot of people would echo that sentiment. One Step Beyond, for example...

Lloyd Schlummer, Jr. Clairvoyant or scam-artist?

"I licked Norah's blood"

I have that record and it doesn't look like him on the back cover... at least compared to the BNs I have. It's not a bad LP, though. Bob Reid wasn't a BAG cat, either. He was from Alabama and lived in Paris from the late '60s. Played bass with Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, Byard Lancaster et al.

Which is, unfortunately, probably why it sold out.

Clement Greenberg would still take his ass in a fight, I'll bet.

I think that one came originally with a 'swirl' but still - good find. Yeah, it did - and that would've been a better pressing also, but I'm not going to complain. It's hard enough to find Quicksilver Messenger Service records in a shop down here, so..

I'm sorry and call me insensitive, but if it were a company that would fire me over a facebook profile, it's not one I'd want to work for anyway.

I've always ended them on Saturdays for just that reason. I tried checking out some ending auctions, but had trouble sorting through the over-priced-unsold-buu-it-now items to get a sense of selling prices, except I saw one Billy Harper live CD end for $2.99, which scared me. That's funny. I find that as a buyer I miss auctions more often when they end on weekends because I'm out and about. eSnipe, dude.

Ian Carr's Nucleus - Labyrinth - (Vertigo, spaceship label) not a bad shop find for Texas, if you ask me...

Elton Dean's Ninesense - Happy Daze - (Ogun) Tippett, Miller, Moholo, Malfatti, Evans, Skidmore, Beckett, Charig... hard to go wrong with such a lineup.

Didn't Sumhep play in Salah Ragab's band?

I almost got that one once but passed, damn. Yep, it's a good one... real good!

Yeah, in the listing anyway. I think you can specify "Other" as well and allow people to pay with cash or checque.

But scrolling down you get one of the best FMP covers out there...

The market sorts outs what's valuable long-term and what isn't. I buy LPs on eBay and it seems like most of the "good stuff" remains collectible. If it's something privately-pressed and weird and it's on vinyl, more than likely it'll go through the roof. I'm not sure about CDs but if it is a high-demand artist, the format won't matter and you'll move the shit.

I thought EOTH and the first set (w/ Cecil) were on CD in Japan but haven't confirmed that.

Lytton/Parker/Burwell/Toop/etc. - Circadian Rhythm - (Incus)

Sperm - Shh! - (O Records/DeStijl) Reissue of a great and rare Finnish audio-collage/drone LP from the '70s.

Harry Taussig - Fate is Only Once - (Talisman)

STEREO MAVEN FOLDED DOWN BY CALIFORNIA COURT!!!

John Fahey - Fare Forward Voyagers - (Takoma original)

Yeah, saw that as well. My girlfriend is a Cornell grad. Was Cornell '77 ever released for commercial sale?
