alankin Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Planning to stop by Princeton Record Exchange today. Quote
brownie Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 This week saw the start of the sales season here. Had skipped the event for the past couple of years but tried my luck this time. Usually this would start with the sales at the Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Elysees but the store closed last month, so I visited the FNAC Montparnasse store instead. It was worth the visit! For a grand total of €44 I got the following CDs: - Sonny Red 2CD (FreshSound) - Tete Montoliu 'Piano for Nuria' (Saba Japan) - Randy Weston 'Zulu' (Mar) - Kenyon Hopkins '4 Classic Albums' (Real Gone Jazz) - Anita O'Day 'Trav'lin' Light' (FreshSound) - Anita O'Day 'Meets the Rhythm Section' (FreshSound) - Elmore James 3CD 'Classic Early Recordings' (Ace) Quote
erwbol Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 £13.50 for a new CD. Not bad considering it's out of print. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Got a stack of albums in Paris! First, at Paris Jazz Corner (the e-shop, to find out where the main shop is ) 1 CD Rhoda Scott = Frame for the blues - Barclay ( Then in the main shop, I stuck to African stuff and R&B, first on LP Assagai - Zimbabwe - Philips Toure Kunda - E'mma Africa - Celluloid Xalam - Apartheid - Encore Kante Manfila & Sorry Bamba - Clash Mandingue - Djima (Oriki Music) Xalam - Goree - Celluloid Laba Sosseh - Salsa Africana vol 2 - Sacodis Back to CDs now African Jazz Pioneers - Live at Montreux - Gallo Then, tucked away into a corner downstairs, a small shelf full of Blues & Rhythm Chronological Classics, all at a decent price. Bill Doggett - 1952-53 Bill Doggett - 1954 Surprised at how few of these I've actually got on LP. Continued for about 5 more posts MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson - 1945-47 Junior Parker - 1952-55 Hal 'Cornbread' Singer - 1948-51 Billy Ward & his Dominoes - 1950-53 Big Jim Wynn - 1945-46 Big Jim Wynn - 1947-59 Next day, into the Goutte d'Or and first to Lampe Fall's Hadja Oumou Dioubate - Labaika - Ben B D International (can't find an image of the CD, so here's a pic of the K7) Hadja Oumou Dioubate - Dignite - Ben B D International Various - Discotheque 72 - Syliphone (Syllart) My copy actually looks like this MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Kasse Mady - Kela - Syllart a reissue of 'Koulandjan Kela' and 'Fode' on 1 CD. My copy of 'Koulandjan Kela' was fucked, so I was glad to see this. Oumou Sangare - En tournee Europeenne - Ben BD There's a LOT more power in this than in her early recordings. I've been missing something, as she's matured. Mamou Sidibe - Kanakoroto - SMD Sega Another Wassoulou singer who's improved with age. Youssou ndour - Bercy 2005 - Jololi Youssou ndour - Bercy 2008 - Jololi Coumba Gawlo - Le album live 23 ans de succes - Sabar Not live. It's a 2 CD set, but CD2 sounds and appears to be the same as CD 1 ... Ganda Fadiga - 2008 vol 3 - CK7 Tata Bambo Kouyate - Aou bouna - FCA - no image on web now on to K7s; the boss of Lampe Fall was good enough to give me this lot of oldies for nothing! Coumba Gawlo & Souleymane Faye - Gawlo & Diego - Sabar - I've been after this since it came out in 2003 and I've never seen it. Mr Fall must have had it all that time, though. I must have just missed it because it was filed with the cover facing the wall. Thione Seck - Orientissimo vols 1 & 2 - Syllart - vol 2 isn't on the web, but looks like the CD. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Toure Kunda - Le Joola - Sabar Fatou Laobe - Keysi bousso - Tabala - no image on web Number 1 de Dakar - Vol 3 - James Gadiaga - Compilation of Touba Auto K7 tracks most of which I haven't got... I think. No image on web. Mapenda Seck - Takussanu Ndakarou Live au Kily night vol 1 - KSF Couldn't see vol 2 of this; the boss said he'd keep one for me if he came accross it. Next shop, a few doors down the road, ATA Audio Visual specialising in Guinean material First, a few CDs Alphadio Dara - Nouvel album - Tandjigoura Alphadio Dara - Bankitou minata - Gris Gris - no image on web Amadou Sodia - Touma sera - Syllart Amadou Sodia - Ca va se savoir - Syllart Wonderful contrast in that photo! Amadou Sodia is a singer and bolon player I've gone to sleep on. Glad I've caught up at last. I'll get some more next year, or maybe sooner... Now some K7s; these ones weren't free, but they are all very cheap Pathe Moloko - Sanakuyagal - Syllart (ATA Audio Visual) Binta Laly Sow - Walyabhe Fouta - ATA Audio Visual - no image on web Berevete - Notolan 2000 - D D United - Replacement of old buggered K7. No image on web Kerfala Kante - L'oiseau de Sankara - Super Selection - this is the pic of the CD. A replacement for my buggered K7. Didn't realise I could get a CD of it. But not vol 2, it appears; good job my K7 of vol 2 is OK Fode Baro - Foufafou - AMC (apparently there are pirate CDs of this floating about in Mali and this is the pic) Camara Aboubacar - Couma - ATA Audio Visual - no image on web Nakan Doumbouya - La dame de fer - Sonia Store (ATA Audio Visual) - no image on web Djeli Fode Kouyate - Baraka Den - AMC - this is the DVD pic, not the K7 Mory Djely Deen Kouyate - Titanic LK - AMC - no image on web Then, on to Kalle Camara's, a Malian specialist, the home of the CK7 label, and first a bunch of K7s Djeneba Diakite - Makossa - CK7 Camara Aboubacar - Komi touma - CK7 - no image on web. Never seen it before, but one of M Camara's earliest; CK7 008 must be from 1989. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Abdoulaye Diabate - Samory - Samassa (CK7) this is the CD pic, which I didn't know about Sekouba Bambino - Warasso - Super Selection (CK7) - Most of this K7 is included in the CD 'Ambiance ballon', but not all. One for fans. I love his football records! Mamadou Doumbia alias Percey - An 2000 - Mali K7 (CK7) (This is the Mamadou Doumbia who used to sing with Super Biton.) No image on web. Taye Sacko - Malisadio - CK7 Kasse Mady Diabate & Layede Bagaga - Samassa (CK7) - no image on web Then a few CDs Sali Sidibe - Union Africaine - CK7 Ganda Fadiga vols 1 & 2 - CK7. Replacements for two very well played K7s. All this shopping is exhausting! Called it quits for the day and returned the following day to Kalitex, another Malian specialist, for a couple more CDs Maniam Damba - Maramba - BKS Kande Sy - Foule - CK7 Phew! Now, when am I going to find time to listen to all these? MG Quote
BillF Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Did they put an extra coach on the Eurostar? Quote
paul secor Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Looks like you'll have to borrow another lifetime to listen to them all. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I love it when MG does these binges. Makes me feel my record buying habit is relatively modest. I can go and download a couple more today without any feeling of guilt. Edited June 30, 2013 by A Lark Ascending Quote
sidewinder Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Did they put an extra coach on the Eurostar? No doubt the UK balance of payments with the EU dived again.. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Did they put an extra coach on the Eurostar? No doubt the UK balance of payments with the EU dived again.. Rather modest spending - 60 CDs, K7s and LPs for £346.33. Probably wouldn't even get me a DG mono Hank Mobley (assuming I wanted one - sorry Chewy) MG Quote
tomatamot Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 I`ve just paid for this album: Chris Woods Plus G. Arvanitas Trio* - Chris Meets Paris Meets Chris Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 I've been meaning to get some Chris Woods since the 70s, but never have... MG Quote

paul secor Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 John Coltrane: Sun Ship - The Complete Session (Impulse) Kip Hanrahan: At Home in Anger (American Clave/Enja) Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Not music, but a book with a really shiny, smart, black cover Hi-de-ho; the live of Cab Calloway - Alyn Shipton It was in a list of books someone here linked to a few weeks ago. Haven't started it yet, but I love the cover so far Came a week or so ago, but I forgot to post it MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Joseph Bodin de Boismortier - Serenades Francaises etc - Naxos Nice bit in the sleeve notes - Boismortier was regarded as a bit too popular for the hoity-toity In his Essay on Ancient and Modern Music of 1780 the celebrated theoretician Jean-Benjamin de La Borde gave a realistic portrait of the composer: "Boismortier appeared at a time when only simple and easy music was in fashion. This competent musician took only too much advantage of this tendency and devised, for the many, airs and duets in great numbers which were performed on the flute, the violins, oboes, bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies… He so abused the ingenuousness of his numerous buyers that, in the end, the following was said of him: “Happy is hes Boismortier, whose fertile quill Each month, without pain, conceives a new air at will.” Boismortier, for lack of a better answer to his critics, would always answer: 'I am earning money'". Now THAT'S a musician I can admire! The Sonny Stitt of his age. MG Quote
