Those 2 are hard to beat. Any Blue Note album with Shorter on it is hard to beat.

My local Fnac has done some work in their vinyl corner and some great records were laying around, so I took advantage.

Ali Farka Toure - The Source
Afro Cuban All Star - A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (45rpm, BG remasters)
Fela Kuti & Africa 70 - Afrodisiac
CW Stoneking - Gon’ Boogaloo

Those are some amazing selections. Great finds! The Afro-Cuban All Stars reissue is fantastic.

Afrodisiac is my favorite Fela album too.

So what is the book and would you recommend it?
Click to expand...
It's a 5x5 hardcover book for Ivy's Overgrown.
OVERGROWN was a journey of self-realization and love. To commemorate the album, Ivy invited her friends to contribute photos, poems, artwork & essays to celebrate the idea of growth.

It started as an album zine and has that feel. It's kind of expensive at $35, but half the proceeds are going to charity so that helped me justify buying it. If you really like poetry, it's a cool book. I probably wouldn't recommend it but I'm happy I bought it.
 
I haven’t shared my recent purchases since the “Great Migration,” so here are some of my most recent grabs.

(I’m splitting this into a few posts as I’m still not great with photos here.)

I have all of these albums individually on mono and they’re all really nice pressings and yet I’m still jealous...

Joe, I'll tell ya what, when roll through Toronto one of these days you're welcome to come by ;)

The only early Dylan I had on vinyl was Highway 61 MoFi so luckily I didn't have too much overlap. This was perfect for me.

HATE to brag but at one stage I had all 15 studio LP's by Nick Cave. but I was so bummed at that "Push the sky away" Lp that I went mental and sold the lot. The bonus 7" had the only redeemable music for me. All that casiotone plip plop bollocks. Get out. Although do wish I'd held on to my copy of "No More Shall We Part." even though I sold it for $90

slight catch up on my buys so far this year:

AUSTERITY PROGRAM - BEYOND CALCULATION LP $14.25 munty tone is a must
BLIND SHAKE - SERIOUSNESS LP $8.50 fahhk I love this garage surf munt
HOT SNAKES - JERICHO SIRENS LP $16.25 was skeptical if they still had it. They still have it. The sonarific dogthrum bass that weaves in and out is deeply fucken soothing
ISIS: THE MOSQUITO CONTROL 12" $16.50 moronically sold the OG. just had to nab the repress
THEE OH SEES - MUTILATOR DEFEATED AT LAST LP $12.75 never heard before, just thought they were more of that hipster indie darling bollocks. Is this the Can/Amon Duul of their generation?
SUGAR - COPPER BLUE/BEASTER 2xLP 17.00. put JC Auto straight on expecting to get my mind blown, kind of bummed. It's just an undynamic hi-pitch squall. I am certain my old tape version of Beaster sounded way the fuck better than this
SUMAC - THE DEAL 2xLP $21.50 dunno if the creative jazzy drumming suits their ISIS thing. maybe I jsut have to get used to it
SUMAC - LOVE IN SHADOW 2xLP $17.00 rooting this new one way more
NEIL YOUNG - HITCHHIKER LP $15 ffs, recorded in 1975, how did this not see the light of day till now. all acoustic, so good
ELECTRIC WIZARD - LET US PREY 2xLP $26.25 not the corrosive subterranean murderplow tone of Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics but still the business here

4 days bin scabbing Tokyo Disk Unions, dragging my 2 tonne suitcase through the grey driving rain, up the stairs, down the stairs, back up them again. Tokyo might be a high tech hub of innovation but how hard would it be to build some damn escalators at the subway stations? Anyway, the shopping wasnt so great, DU are just too good these days, too organised, not many cheapies slip through their cracks. I wouldve been better off taking my 22,000 yen airfare and putting it towards postage to getting the same stuff and wayy more off discogs. The used bins just have the pretty much the same stuff in each branch, over and over. Now that I think about it, none of my fave bands were spotted over the 4 days and I went through about 12 branches with maniacal precision. The Fall, flying nun stuff, Country Teasers, doom metal, 80's amrep, none of that stuff.
