Every second Friday.  I find some pretty interesting stuff there some days. 

Thanks, I'll take a stroll sometime

Herbie/Yardbirds - Blow Up OST (MGM, mono)

For those who don't know, the mono LP has edits of a few tracks that are significantly longer than their stereo counterparts. Mono is definitely the way to go with this one.

I love that version of The Train Kept a Rolling. 

Like a lot of British blues stuff, its secret weapon is that it is a bit inept.

Now spinning:

Bobby Watson's debut as a leader.

Purchased from the Zayre cutout bin for 99 cents, circa 1980.  It was the victim of a record purge 8 years later.

Wow big compliments to Craft records. This sounds amazing. 

I might give it a try. 

As much as I like 60´s avantgarde I fear that both names "Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons" where lesser known over here in Europe or in my countries. 
We heard late Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Cecil Taylor but I fear those were only the most popular artists. 
I think I have Prince Lasha or even Sonny Simmons on a very strange Dolphy LP from a totally obscure label  "Trip Records" which has an ultra strange tune "Music Matador" which sounds outright melodically for 60´s free jazz.....
And I think I read sometimes the name Sonny Simmons on ESP records, but imagine how hard it was to get that semi obscure label (at least in Europe then, where only a part of the American market was brought in). We all had "Town Hall Concert by Ornette Coleman", but very little else.....

I love the whiplash between the delicate post bop on side one and the track "Jug's Not Dead" that opens the Freemans' set. But its also immediately obvious which of the two is going to be the deeper.

Sorry, I realise that it is actually called "Jug Ain't Gone", not "Jug's Not Dead".

Great combo!
 

I love that Arthur Doyle record. It's pretty special.

Warming up for SME obviously

Herbie Hancock - Death Wish OST (Columbia)

Part of a holy triumvirate of fantastic Charles Bronson scores, the other two being Jerry Fielding's The Mechanic and Morricone's Citta Violenta.

Roscoe Holcomb - Close To Home

[adh1907]

Chic Chic Chico - Chico Hamilton (UK HMV Mono 1965). Interesting record, I bought this mainly for Albert Stinson whose playing on Bobby Hutcherson’s Oblique blew me away. Has some good Harold Land blowing space among some arranged pieces with flute and French Horn. Stinson impressive, esp on Carol’s walk. Not released on CD I understand.

I have the same pressing, always enjoy it

[adh1907]

Yes, I have just played it twice through, enjoyable and interesting. There’s a lot going on here. £15 from Out on the Floor in Camden.  More reggae than jazz but the odd interesting item.

So am I!  do you know his eponymously titled first album at all? I'm assuming it's much of the same

and with substantial bonus material .... :

Recorded in 1973 the song material is excellent (Sam Dees, Prince Phillip Mitchell, Jimmy Lewis, Ashford & Simpson to name a few) still a bit uneven (aka undecided) between Southern/Modern Soul .... don`t get me wrong, quality music indeed  but not reaching the heights of the following Cotillion album ....

Edit .... not to be missed :

John Edwards "There'll Never Be Another Woman" (Weis Records) 1970 .... written/produced by great Joshie Jo Armstead .... now try to get rid of the hookline 😈 ....
