Today I do Third Street and visit Tape And Record Room and Bagatelle. At Tape And Record Room I find hiding in the cheapo bins…

Billy Mize This Time And Place (Imperial)
Dusty Springfield Stay Awhile (Mercury) (”Q: What do you like to eat?” A: I love steak.”)
E.L.O. Out Of The Blue (UA)
Graham Nash / David Crosby self-titled (Atlantic)
Humble Pie self-titled (A&M) (Aubrey Beardsley cover)
Johnny Paycheck Take This Job And Shove It (CBS)
Johnny Rodriguez All I Meant To Do Was Sing (Mercury)

Some good put-backs too for reveal when I go back and get them. Fatbeats and folk stuff and Impulse! jazz. Then at Bagatelle:

Crooklyn Dodgers Return Of The… (MCA)
Dennis Brown Satisfaction Feeling (Dynamic)
Doug Sahm and Band self-titled (Atlantic)
Fred Wesley and the JBs “Same Beat” 45 (People)
Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers self-titled (Alligator)
Jim Nesbitt “Working All My Life” 45 (Chart)
Medusa Trapeze (London)
Miles Davis Big Fun (Columbia)
Sky self-titled (RCA) (Guy from the Knack’s first band!?)

And then I tipped out the Baga hold bag I was hoarding:

Afrika and the Zulu Kings “Cars” 12″ (Posse)
Emanon “Susie” 12″ (W.O.W.)
MC Shan “It Don’t Mean A Thing” 12″ (Warner)
Ol’ Dirty Bastard Return To The 36 Chambers (Dirty) (Elektra)
Raheem The Vigilante (A&M)

And check out these records I got for Miles, who is working on some labor issues:

Pete Seeger American Industrial Ballads (Folkways)
Pete Seeger and chorus Talking Union (Folkways)

Those are two beautiful Folkways originals—printed paper glued over rough sleeves. Cool find sez me. Anyway: check out those records, huh?
