I'll start with the one that started it all for me... Various Artists - Baaddasssss! (Vinyl Sampler) (BBE Records) ^This soundtrack exists only in sampler on vinyl otherwise the CD is the full length release. This is frankly more than good enough for me. It has the best songs from the movie and the ones it doesn't have are really just dialogs. So I saw the movie when it camby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

QuoteLionsMouth QuoteGordon Rekcikssa QuoteLionsMouth The Blue Nile - Hats A word of warning: the old, un-remastered version of this album on CD (either U.S. or U.K. pressing) was mastered with pre-emphasis. Many newer CD players and CD ripping programs won't decode it properly. You'll know something is wrong if the album sounds oddly thin and bright when you play it.

QuoteLionsMouth Quoterchecka Awesome stuff JB, particularly that Be William DeVaughn. You gotta also get the "Be thankful for what you got" 7" since it has part 2 of that song which is INCREDIBLY funky and soulful. I'm guessing part 2 is a track that never got radio airplay? Yes. It's kind of like a dub version in a way. Instrumental heavy on the beats in the begiby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
QuoteLionsMouth That sounds pretty good. A shame it's subscription only. It's not only subscription I have it too and bought it outright when it came out from DGA. Really good psych, well worth seeking for you, but like a lot of Numero joints not cheap.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

I've been wanting Atomic Forest for a long time. Seems to be sold out every time I spot it on DGA. While for the most part I've strayed from Stones Throw, it's sub labels like Now Again are undeniably dope. Run by Egon who I think frankly has a better ear for catalog selection than Peanut Butter Wolf. Another good sub label of Stones Throw is Leaving Records.

^Awesome write up, thanks for that. I am not a HUGE Grateful Dead fan however I really do appreciate their music and Jerry was an undoubtably amazing guitarist on multiple levels.

Find a hole saw, mount it to your drill, court out the label, spat with lacquer, glee cork to the bottom, and that's the coolest coaster ever. If is unplayable, why not?

Discogs rant, get ready for this crazy bullshit. Bought a Heavy Metal record from a guy on Discogs. Ordered it last Thursday, he invoiced me immediately and I paid immediately that day.

@ Jaybrown, you really gotta get that album, it's something special and I know you'd love it. "Real" music. You got me into a few modern jazz records, now it's my turn to return the favor.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Lately I've had this on repeat... Go Go Penguin - Mad Made Object 2LP (Blue Note Records) 2016 ^This trio is spinning heads right now. Not since Medeski Martin and Wood has such an interesting group of primary threes graced the newest roster of Blue Note Records. I feel like my reviewing of this album will not do it justice.

^You gotta love that cover. The (70s) modern chastity belt with keyless entry. Jack McDuff is KILLER funky jazz. I got some 45s from him but no albums, but needless to say it's my kind of funk jazz.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Recently... Soulive - Turn It Out Remixed (Velour Recordings) 2003 ^This is a great place to put this record because I wouldn't know how to file it under a genre topic. Personally I keep it in my vastly integrated loosely defined Jazz / Soul / Funk section. Soulive for those who don't know are basically a jazz / funk hippy jam band and this is a remix of their album Turn Itby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Recently... Ultravox - Ha!-Ha!-Ha! LP (Island Records) 1977 ^I looked this up on Discogs to get the date of release and they put it under new wave and post punk.
