Very cool that you got to add Crystal Gayle to your Mofi collection. I have to be honest with you Martin. I didn't even know that Mobile Fidelity released any of her music. I am wondering if the music good enough to do so? Once again. The variety of artists was smashing. I enjoyed the update very much as always. Enjoy the upcoming weekend to the fullest. I hope the weather is going to be better than the weather that we have lined up for the weekend. The weather here in Mass has been dismal during the weekends. It started about four endless summers ago. It is consistently beautiful from Monday through Friday. As soon as the weekends come the weather sours out. Cloudy and rainy. There is something very sinister going on up there. {smile} Catch up soon M~ Rob/Boston

Not a bad selection of jazz records. I do know the John Mayer / Joe Marriott. It is not a bad album at all. I enjoyed it. I only listened to it once and it has been a while since I did so. But I do remember it being enjoyable. I remember that Robert Palmer album selling really well at my record store called Strawberries. Garth Hudson and Rick Danko from The Band both played on the album. The Beach Boys drummer who filled in for Dennis on the Carl in the Passions and Holland albums Ricky Fataar played on the Palmer album too~ Comment 2 of 3

Hi Martin. Yes it was me and Hedley that talked about that Goo cover. It's Myra's sister and her boyfriend as I recall. That Kim book looks good.

Give Fairground Attraction a chance. I'm not keen on Perfect either but that album has some really nice things on it.

Nice jazz finds Martin. I got a stack of records that were a bit musty earlier in the year. Just leaving them to dry out and then giving them a wipe seems to have reduced the smell. Some very nice finds from the person's house you were just passing. Well scavenged...

Hi Martin - Cool items. I am reminded that I have no Sonic Youth on vinyl, so thanks for that $$$. Very nice jazz records! I paid for my copy of that Robert Palmer record, but it was $2, so that was fair enough.

Hi Martin. I'm on the look out for Kim Gordon's autobiography in the charity shops. The only band-related t-shirt I ever bought was one showing the 'Goo' cover ... 'Deodato 2' is an excellent album, in my opinion ... The brilliant Cherry Red label RPM re-released 10 Leo Sayer albums on CD. I picked up 'Silverbird' and 'Just A Boy' recently. Have a listen to the track 'Why Is Everybody Going Home'. Stunning string arrangement and vocals ... I'm surprised you're undecided about the Bonzo Dog Band's 'Gorilla' and Al Stewart's 'Year Of The Cat'. Both of those are amongst my favourites.

Sean Rowley. Interesting bloke. When I moved back to London in 99 he always used to be DJ ing in these tiny clubs we went in..that would disappear the week after. He used to play lots of charity shop exotica & easy listening, that was having a big revival at the time. He did a great programme on channel four called ‘All Back To Mine’ ., the accompanying compilation album for the TV series was great too.

They disappeared in 1959. When they finally came back it was the eighties? That is a great story. I wish that I could disappear and come back in the late sixties. I could then go and see some of the musicians that I miss like Hendrix, T Rex, Joplin and The Doors. {smile} The only Big Daddy that I was familiar was a band that covered Welcome to the Jungle. They perform it fifties style and throw in The Lion Sleeps Tonight in the middle of the song. It was not that bad. BTW. It is great to see you back again and doing a new finds update Martin~ Rob/Boston Comment 1 of ?

Buy a box of drying sheets to combat the mustiness.

I called it right, let Slovakia get one so they feel good then wait until 2 minutes of extra time to go and bang one in for a laugh and let Kane do his thing n park the bus in the extra 30mins!! Doesn't bode well does it? A mixed bag of picks there Martin, seen that Gorilla recently. I don't think I've ever had an OMR but good to have Year of the Cat. I'd be interested to see a video of you selling this stuff and how well you do if you feel like it, cheers 👍. PS I had a curry with Leo Sayer

Quite a big scavenger haul! The Goo cover is by Raymond Pettibon, who drew most of the album covers by Black Flag. Apparently Pettibon didn’t realise the image was Myra Hindley connected. He just found the photo in a magazine, liked it and drew his version of it. That Bonzo Dog Band Gorilla album is very nice and desirable too. A Mono copy and not the very common budget reissue version that I have.

I read that Kim Gordon book - I am not a Sonic Youth fan, so I am not sure why I read it. I found I didn't like her, or Thurston Moore. Leaving the covers in a container full of charcoal, maybe even kitty litter should do the trick. Lovely jazz in that whole bunch. The Iron Maiden 12" single cover is amazing - you MUST keep it just for that. Bonzo is a must keep as well - The Intro and Outro is outstanding. Why did Mofi do a Crystal Gayle record?

Nice jazz haul. Football continues today. I am cheering for Denmark. They really need little luck to win Germany. England need to play a lot of better if they want to continue.

I'm also not so keen on classic jazz music although Jimmy Smith is great. I think the Modern Jazz Quartet was once signed to Apple. Always like many of your bargains finds, Martin like the 60's soul (Motown comp.) or the UFO and others. I hope England would improve and win the game against Slovakia today...🙏

The Paul Barbarin jazz album that you flashed at the end of the video could be a good listen if the sound quality is halfway decent. Barbarin played with some of the top New Orleans jazz bands of the 1920s and stayed around long enough to enjoy the New Orleans jazz revival in the '50s and '60s. His "Bourbon Street Parade" is a standard. Barbarin died drumming in the Mardi Gras parade of 1969. --- If you don't like the record now, save it in your library for another day. It may grow on you. The Coleman Hawkins record might be a pleasing listen. The Verve label didn't push avant-garde jazz. Verve was the jazz senior care home for old guys who still enjoyed playing and recording. It's my favorite jazz label. I enjoy the Modern Jazz Quartet, but some of their experiments don't connect with me. I sampled Lola on KZfaq. The saxophone does make it sound a bit like a Brubeck record. The difference is that the sax playing is shrill rather than sweet and smooth. This one hurt my ears. The Discogs price on the album would make it easy to part with. You could sell it or trade it for a complete collection of Leo Sayer's entire discography. Here's what I do if I need to air out a funky record jacket: 1.) Take the record out of the jacket. 2.) Crumple up a fresh sheet of typing/copy paper and insert the paper ball into the jacket pocket, opening the pocket. 3.) Allow time for fresh air to circulate inside the open jacket pocket. Position the open pocket so that it faces a fan or air purifier. You could also let it air out in the sunshine. (This usually does the trick.) 4.) Store the record jacket in a new plastic sleeve. Store the record in a new inner sleeve in the backside of the outer sleeve. (If some funky odor remains inside the jacket pocket, it won't be strong enough to escape.) ---- Do whatever works best for you on the jacket scrubbing. I'm willing to risk using Clorox wipes when the cover needs to be disinfected. Don't forget to scrub the inside of the jacket. That's the stinky spot! I've never listened to an Iron Maiden album, but the Prisoner is my favorite single-season television program. (It's too long to be a miniseries.) Would I buy an Iron Maiden LP album if it was bargain? Probably. Would I ever listen to it? Not until I get headphones that will work with my amplifier. I did see Michael Schenker play a club show with UFO in 1995. It was a good time. They either ran out of songs that they had rehearsed, or they gave the fans what they wanted by playing "Rock Bottom" twice in the second or third encore. Happy 4th of July, Jacob

It is nice to see an Englishman call the sport soccer.

Hi Martin some nice jazz finds and a nice slice of Leo .. another 1/0 win tomorrow is predicted ⚽️💩

I think I’m done with Jazz. I’ll probably purge most of it. Now I want to know what one you don’t need to show.
