Salutations™!!
The BCPF and I were able to get to Underdog Records fairly early, thanks to getting up and walking our butts off ahead of our regular schedule. We saw only one of our regular crowd, but I chalk that up to the earlier time and the fact that Fiesta 2017 was right up the street. The haul was modest but we got some great stuff!
- Kiss – Lick It Up (next in the KISS discography, this was the first time that I had ever listened to this album on vinyl and I almost cried, I could hear things that I never noticed before, new)
- Mogwai – Every Country’s Sun (2xLP in 180g and on cool clear vinyl, new)
- Luna – A Sentimental Education (cover album on clear green vinyl, new)
- Circa Survive – The Amulet (indie record store exclusive clear/blue splatter vinyl, new)
- Wayne Shorter – Speak No Evil (my first ever Blue Note album and man, it was fantastic! new)
- Camper Van Beethoven – Camper Van Beethoven (not-quite-rare NM copy, The BCPF was nearly jumping up and down)
- Three Dog Night – Joy To The World – Their Greatest Hits
- Miles Davis – My Old Flame
- Michel Legrand – The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (Les Parapluies De Cherbourg)
- The Boswell Sisters – The Boswell Sisters 1932-34
- Frank Marino – Juggernaut
- Elly Stone, Mort Shuman, Joe Masiell With Jacques Brel – Eric Blau’s Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris
- Yes – Tales From Topographic Oceans
- Alice Cooper – Easy Action
- Henry Mancini And His Orchestra – Uniquely Mancini
- Dick Powell – In Hollywood (1933•1935)
- The New Christy Minstrels – The Quiet Sides Of The New Christy Minstrels
- Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald – The Magic Of Christmas
- Stars On – Stars On Long Play II
- Robbie Nevil – Robbie Nevil
- America – Hideaway
- America – Hearts
- Fred Hall’s Jazz Band, The Ambassadors, Bert Stock And His Orchestra, Ipana Troubadours, Milt Shaw And His Detroiters, Julie Wintz And His Orchestra – Blue Notes And Hot Rhythm (I spent an hour and a half to put this in Discogs, it was one I discussed last week)
There’s also an album that we got yesterday that wasn’t in Discogs. It’s all in German so it may take me a bit to put that in. If you’re looking for something and don’t see it in Underdog Records, Jonathan can special order it for you. You can also make purchases online via their website, including preorders. Listen to The Less Desirables to hear the weekly Underdog/TLD special. Obviously, I use Discogs to document, archive and keep track of my collection. You should, too.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“Well, I keep on thinking about you, Sister Golden Hair surprise. And I just can’t live without you; can’t you see it in my eyes? I’ve been one poor correspondent, and I’ve been too, too hard to find. But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind. Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air? Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care? Well, I tried to fake it, I don’t mind sayin’, I just can’t make it.” – “Sister Golden Hair” (Beckley)
