Dust Bin / Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Nifty, Thrifty Big Dig Scores

Posted by Dave Segal on Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 7:23 PM

Yesterday was a good day. For $36, I obtained the following nine LPs at the Big Dig Saturday at Lo-Fi Performance Gallery:

Lucifer (aka Mort Garson)- Black Mass (Amazingly, this was the record I was most hoping to find.)
Tonto’s Expanding Head Band- Zero Time (Amazingly, this was the second-most-coveted record I was hoping to find.)
James Brown- Slaughter’s Big Rip-Off
Tony Williams Lifetime- Believe It
Quincy Jones- Walking in Space
Fleetwood Mac- Kiln House
Fleetwood Mac- Tusk (2LP for $1)
Bob James- BJ4 (for $1)
Alice Cooper- Killer (for $1)

Here are the LPs that I dearly wanted, but that were out of my price range or about which I didn’t know enough to risk the gamble, but looked very intriguing:

David Axelrod- Seriously Deep
Cannonball Adderley- Soul Zodiac
Goblin- Tenebre (title track sampled by Justice on "Phantom")
Julian Priester- Polarization
James Blood Ulmer- Tales of Captain Black
Gil Mellé- Tome VI
Alice Coltrane- Universal Consciousness
Alice Coltrane- World Galaxy

You find anything noteworthy?

You totally should have picked up the Cannonball and the Goblin.

I know. Major regrets.

Wow, I've never actually seen a copy of Black Mass' 'Lucifer' (or Lucifer's 'Black Mass' - it's unclear what the title and the artist name is from the cover). I *cough* got a copy a few months ago and I plan to sample the shit out of it. The chunky synth sounds throughout are astoundingly cool, barring some cheesy bits here and there.

I don't believe 'Soul Zodiac' is in print on CD, which is kind of shocking considering the interest in it. In my opinion, that one isn't nearly as good as other Adderley / Axelrod albums from the period ('Soul Bible'), but is decent for what it is - a mid 70s zodiac album, of which there are probably hundreds that are more or less identical in content.

All of those Axelrod records (at least that I've heard) are pretty golden.

Actually, Black Mass is the LP title; my bad. It was released on MCA, so it's somewhat plentiful and turns up more often than you'd think in online sites like dustygroove.com and used bins.

I have the Seriously Deep CD reissue, but with an album that great, one needs it on all formats.

Goblin. That is the the most Italo of all Goblin Soundtracks, (though technically it's NOT Goblin because one of the original members was missing during recording so it is actually Simonetti, Morante and Pignatelli), with the TWO ace cuts "Flashing" and "Tenebrae".

Always pick up Alice.... Those are "investment" records.

Walking In Space is one of my all time favorites. No lie.

Mark my words this will be a Seattle institution before you know it!
