That's sad news . That dude had a hand in so many great recordings . He did make it to 91 , so he atleast lived a full life . RIP ...by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

I can definitely see the similarities in the packaging on that Jorge Ben album . I managed to sneak in a few records today .. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On 10" single . There are actually three versions of What's Going On and the song God Is Love on here . There is the original 7" version . I like this mix as it is very drum heavy . Then there is a new mix with BJ The Chicby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
The Criminale comps are tracks taken from the Flipper catalog and were put out on Penny records . Everything I can find about penny says it's an Italian label . Three of the volume had a made in Spain sticker inside the shrink and the other one said made in Germany .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
My recent non hh scores . The first three are records that have manged to come and go in my collection , and I decided that they definitely still had a spot in my collection .I'm not gonna bother with a lengthy description as I believe almost anybody that looks at these records knows them .. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain lp. Fuzzed out funk , spoken word , guitar solos by Eddie Hazel that couby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Here's another rapper that hasn't got much love here , but I like every release he's put out .... Who else but Aesop Rock could get away with making a hip hop track about his cat ??? I gotta cop his new one The Impossible Kid . It's the only album I don't own in some sort of format ( with the exception of the Uncluded album which I need to cop too ) .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Recently ... Guru - Jazzmatazz lp . Copped this recent repress as I can't seem to come across an affordable OG pressing . This is the perfect meeting of hip hop and jazz . Guru with that mono tone voice as laid back as ever with top notch jazz players . Beautiful music to my ears .. RIP Guru !! My wife copped me the delux version of .. Atmosphere - Fishing Blues 3lp . I never reallyby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
They had to open up a plant 3 times the size of the original plant . It is right down the street from where I work . I know some of the people who work over there and I guess I should have expected a decline after seeing that they got a job there .by jaybrown - Turntable Help and Technical Questions
I just watched some more of this series . I was sad to see the bad review of United Record Pressing . Since they are local to me , I would have like to see them in a better light , but if they are dropping the ball , it's nice to know it ...by jaybrown - Turntable Help and Technical Questions
Honestly , I never knew how to tell where it was pressed , but I used to be a lot more picky about my vinyl . Lately , I have been getting what I can afford and hoping for the best . I've made out pretty good under that philosophy ( with 2 or 3 exceptions ) . Since we had my daughter I have been as cautious as I can make myself be with my spending. I still have to get my fix though ...by jaybrown - Turntable Help and Technical Questions
Watched . I'm gonna check out some more of these . I honestly never really gave the dead wax much attention except for the punk 7s I used to get that had some sort of F**k you message scratched in . But it's never too late to learn something new . Nice post !!by jaybrown - Turntable Help and Technical Questions
I just copped another Paris Smith joint online ... Anxious to see if it's as good as the one I just posted since it was recorded 17 years later . Will post my thoughts when it lands ...by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^^ it was great . Not like the solo efforts he put out after Both Sides Of The Brain ( the last descent solo joint he had imo ) . You should give it a listen .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Digging the last 2 albums posted!! @LionsMouth , I don't come across too many fans of crust punk anymore . I know they are out there , but I'm not running into them . Great album !! @ Deathhop , nice post also . I e found a new band to check out . Thanks!! I keep finding myself going back to this album on YouTube . I need to get another physical copy since my cd has been M.I.A. Forby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
@ LionsMouth , I was pleasantly surprised with all of those albums . Sorry you couldn't see the videos . I hope that problem clears itself up . And yes , the Julie London is a mono recording . @ Rchecka , that Paris Smith album is dope . I'm not sure how hard it would be to cop an OG copy , but that reissue was limited to 500.lf you want it , you may want to buy soon .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Recently ... Paris Smith - The Paris Smith Kenneth Hill Quartets lp. So the sticker on the front of this album says " Top drawer moody laden basement bebop " , and I honestly couldn't find better words to describe this . This album was remastered but it sounds as underground as it could get . Almost like an amateur recording , but it truly doesn't take away from it in my oby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I do a lot of this lately since we've had the baby . That being why I have been less active on here over the last year . I'm trying to get back into the swing of things . Luckily, my daughter loves music , so I've been able to put on some records recently and in turn contribute to the board . I'm even finding myself leaving the house without my phone lately , and I don'tby jaybrown - General Discussion
Bumped this funky jazz joint yesterday ... Donald Byrd - Street Lady lp. Been looking for a descent copy of this album for a while . Even though the cover is pretty beat up , the album itself was in VG+ or better condition . Picked it up for $3.00 ... SCORE !!!!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Welcome aboard Izack !! That Dark Skinned Assasin joint is dope !! Glad to see another hip hop head around here . Can't wait to see what else you have to offer . I've said this on here recently , but I feel like hip hop has been put on the back burner for me lately . It's not that I've quit listening to hip hop , I just don't dig for it near as much as I am finding myselfby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I would like to have a heavier pressing . May look at this 2lp pressing to see if it's 180g . I'm sure the fact that it's a 2lp pressing make it worth copping anyway . Not to mention the fact that I noticed my copy has a slight warp ( nothing to worry about and it doesn't affect play at all ) .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Managed to sneak this one in today .. The Detroit Jazz Composers Ltd. - Hastings St. Jazz Experience lp . Another on of my recent inexpensive repress scores . A great mix of spiritual , soulful , and a little funky jazz . This pressing cost me a whopping $10 , and I would have been happy dropping two or three times that . A definite great listen for me and my daughter today ..by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^ would love to have seen that show . Did they still have it ?? You never know what you're gonna get with reunion shows . Most of my experiences have been good though ... That ep is great . May have to cop it ....by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^^ that sounds great !!! Gonna have to keep an eye open for it .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
He's a funny old head .. Not too bad considering how he got most of his samples . It's atleast creative ..by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I'm not sure , but those look like Live Wire brand cables . Over the years , I have bought tons of expensive RCA cables , but I always have the best results out of my cheap I Live Wire cables . I usually cop them from Guitar Center for $10 or less . I'm now expert , so anybody else is free to chime in here ...by jaybrown - Turntable Help and Technical Questions
Daty X definitely sounds promising . You can't go wrong with Pete Rock behind you . As for Jonwayne , I really can't decide if I like him or completely dislike him . I always go back and forth . I may need to just cop one of his albums and sit with it for a while .. For me today .. One Be Lo - S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. Although I prefer him in Binary Star , this album is still dope .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
