The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Cool cover art. Sleeve notes aren't printed in very helpful (to the elderly) font and colour, but it looks like the painting is by Choco Diseno (with a tilde over the n). Although I bought this from an Amazon UK seller, this one came from Argentina and was manufactured by Warner Argentina. Struth! MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Who's Concha Buika? A vocalist? Yes - her parents were political exiles from Equatorial Guinea and she was born in Spain. She's absorbed Jazz, House, Flamenco and Pop music as well as the music her mum taught her from home and has put it together into a mainly flamenco-related music which is enormously powerful. She sings very emotionally; straight from the gut and real experience. Her records are some of the most exciting I've heard in years. MG PS Seeline can give you a good bit more on her - from a much deeper knowledge of the various Latin musics than I have. I only know how she makes me feel. Quote
kh1958 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks, I'll have to track down a couple of her CDs. Quote

papsrus Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) This kinda feels like stepping into a confession booth for me. ... Course, I've never actually been in a confession booth -- at least not when someone's been on the other side of the screen. In any case, over the past week or so: Miff Mole -- "Slippin' Around, Vol. 1" (and "Slippin' Around Again Vol. 2," for which I can't find an image) Clarence Williams -- "Shake 'Em Up" Clarence Williams Jug & Washboard Bands -- "Whoop It Up! Volume 1: 1927-1929" Muggsy Spanier -- "Great Original Performances (1931-1939)" Johnny Dodds -- "Blue Clarinet Stomp" "John Jenkins With Kenny Burrell" and from sellers here at organissimo: Anthony Braxton -- "In the Tradition, Vol. 1" Anthony Braxton -- "In the Tradition, Vol. 2" Herculaneum -- "Orange Blossom" Edited December 10, 2009 by papsrus Quote
Stefan Wood Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) The Kinks' "Picture Book" box set, available only from the UK Amazon site. 7 1/2 hours of great music! Edited December 10, 2009 by Stefan Wood Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 A long day's shopping in Cardiff today (I ran out of CDs!!! Must get an ipod!) started by taking a long look through the second hand shop in the market. And I snagged this one, in perfick nick, for eight quid. Buddy Tate - The Texas twister Flung it straight onto the turntable as soon as I got home. Woo, what a nice album! The local dealer must do a fair bit of research - found a CD of it (didn't know it had come out on CD) on Amazon.uk for one penny less than I paid - but I didn't have to pay postage. And when I got home, I found the postman had very kindly left me two CDs. This one Kandia Kouyate - Ngara Thanks to I forget whom for buying it himself and posting it here This is a compilation of her second LP plus some other live stuff done for radio, I think. There's another recently issued, which has her first LP (which I've already got) plus some more radio things. Will have to do a bit more research. Anyway, this is wonderful - much better than the albums she's been making with strings and stuff in the past decade. MG Oh, the other CD was something I hadn't ordered MG Quote

Brad Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Hans may laugh but I was at FYE today and saw a used copy of the Buffalo Springfield box set put out by Rhino, at a third off normal price. Couldn't pass on it. Quote
mikelz777 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 I revisited the Oldies.com Fantasy warehouse sale and got the following in the mail today: Herbie Harper - Jazz in Hollywood Steve White Quartet - Jazz In Hollywood Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk Relaxes Three more titles were ordered but not shipped. For those of you who have experience with the warehouse sale, is it likely that these will eventually ship? None of the three are out of stock according to the web site but two of them are "limited". Past experience with their customer (dis)service doesn't exactly have me rushing to them for an answer. Quote

Past experience with their customer (dis)service doesn't exactly have me rushing to them for an answer. I ordered 16 a couple of months ago and got 8. When I followed a link in their e-mail, I found that the balance of orders doesn't get filled if it's not filled within 30 days of the first dispatch date. So I can wish for those 8, if I want to use up my three wishes fruitlessly. MG Quote
