Recent pickups - what vinyl have you gotten recently?

[Bill]

I picked up all of these this week. The Flairs is an awesome doo-wop group featuring Richard Berry - the guy who later wrote Louie Louie.







The Ronettes album is an error pressing with the group name misprinted on the label. As I've gotten older I appreciate the Phil Spector stuff so much more.







Some punk and psych. Curious about Billy Synth and the Turn Ups. I know nothing about them but the fact they cover Love's "Seven and Seven Is" makes me think that I'm in for a great album. Earthen Vessel is a Christian psych band from the 1970's, the one in the pic is the reissue on the Akarma label. CH3 is a recent reissue. The one with all the weird writing is a Hungarian band called VHK (Galloping Coroners) - noisy weird stuff from alternative tentacles records, sounds similar to Tragic Mulatto. They played with Neurosis.

I got another Brother JT record that I've been wanting, they are always $25+ online; Double Decker got one in and my wife surprised me for Christmas by picking it up before I got over there.

It has hand-screened covers, and is a numbered edition of 500.

Nice finds Bill and Dave ! The Billy Synth is good. I know Billy,he's been in many different bands and is a part-time record dealer. He's from Harrisburg and has many records out. Good JT finds too.

Doomsday Rock is one of my favorite indy albums of the late 90s. I've been a fan of the Original Sins since Self Destruct and when I was in college a friend came into my room and was surprised to see it on the floor. He told me that he had a friend down in PA who worked in a Subway and the manager was the bassist, and so when I met this friend he gave me two of their 45s and I was in seventh heaven!

But as much as I love the Sins, Brother JT and Vibrolux was even better. I didn't even know that they did more than Doomsday and a 4 track live CD together.

Fuzzface is another Brother JT project, had to buy this one from an eBay seller in the UK. Ltd to 500 copies.








Big Soul is a great album by the Sins

The late Dave Smith on that Fuzzface record.

Sorry,it was Mark Smith,not Dave.

Who was Dave Smith, Jack? other bands he played in? I'm late to the Lehigh Valley (Jan 1989 onward)

It was Mark Smith who I was talking about,not Dave Smith. Mark died last year. He was in the Creatures Of The Golden Dawn, and some other bands. 

[davegee]

[Bill]

Awesome lovedaddy! How is The Argument? I never got around to the Fugazi stuff that came after In On The Kill Taker.

I just got an original Velvet Underground & Nico album. No scratches or skips, original Verve dust jacket included but missing the iconic banana sticker. Definitely one of the jewels of my collection.... but I would prefer it with the sticker. If I were to get a replacement banana sticker would it hurt the value?

[Bill]

Very cool score! Not sure how a replacement banana sticker would affect the value, but I would just leave it as is.
