Soul Invaders Inc. - Careless Loving



Soul Invaders Inc. This is the one that DIDN'T get away!!!!

Here is another one that i wrote about long before i could even post music here at the devil's music. See i had a run in with a certian record seller at one of the flea markets near my house with this record and it got away from me at that time: You can read about it Here: if you so desire, where after telling my tale of woe of not getting the 45 at that time i was lucky enough to have the sax player from the band, one Mr. Carl Williams leave some comments and tell a tale of playing out live and right in the middle of a sax break his sax actually broke!

Well it seems now Mr. Williams is a pretty big wig in the military! Pretty cool stuff. I mean i'm just a little old record collecting geek who posts some long lost 45's and I've had comments left by a bunch of guys that recorded some of these cool tunes. If you read any of the comments along the way you can see which band members left some.

ah, the wonder's of google searches!

Any way after NOT getting this 45 originally i searched and searched and searched, and it has taken me almost a year to track this little lost funk nugget down but i did! and now i give it to you!

Cheers!

So the JJB had a little B-day party for a few friends that had b-days close together at her place in beautiful Upper Darby PA and Saturday after the party we planned on doing some Philadelphia record digging and dig we did!!! I was trying to get DJ Pres and jack the Ripper out to PA for the digging session but DJ Pres had a gig Saturday and it never happened but you guys have to get to Philly! Philly is a VINYL KINDA TOWN!!!!

The giant face looks on while the devil digs!


Checkin out the digs!

Saturday night we went out for a fantastic vegan dinner at this place called "Horizons" and had some great wine with another friend of Jenn's, Kate who had also just had a b-day. Sorry no pics of Dinner but on the way there we drove past the same cat who was selling records on the street corner that I bought a bunch of records off of months ago. We couldn't stop because we were running late for our dinner reservations which is a shame because it looked like he had a lot more stuff than the last time we stopped but I did manage a few drive by photo's to prove his existence!!!




Sunday morning we got up and headed back to Jersey and decided to hit "The Spot" on our way. We got there late but the old man was there and was holding some vinyl for me. We hit a few tables up and got a few things here and there and ran into Psych Dave who was trying to sell some classical shit to Stinky Steve who was set up but I didn't even bother looking at his stuff because I really can't deal with the kook.... It started to get Hot as balls so we split soon after arrival: but as usual records were plentiful @ "the spot"


JJB gasing up to get back to NJ


The old man diggin' in his bag and giving me the used car salesman lines: "Whoa! There is some rare psych in this batch! Your gonna love this stuff! Fuzz guitars! Wow! Rare too!!!" I'll give yoou a good price too!


this is what i get...?!?


JJB & The Old Man;


Yours truly w/ "Thee Psych Box"

A good weekend, some scores & stress...



Had a great weekend with my kids and a certain lady friend, and i was the undisputed boxing champ on the wii! beating all comers!!! (including a 6 & 8 year old!)

:)

We got a late start on Saturday but managed to get out to a market in Pennsy, out in the sticks, but there were plenty of records and on the cheap too! My kids were in their glory rooting through bins of star wars & spawn action figures and they managed to score a few early x-mas gifts.

I got a nice mix, of soul, 50's rock n roll, rock-a-billy, and some odd ball stuff that hopefully I can get to later and post. so until then a pic of the scores will have to do. I think i got about 100 records total and i would have bought more but I am trying to be thrifty because of the trip to London this weekend.

A few new ones...



I spent the weekend removing ALL my records from storage. Now they are all stacked ceiling high in my folks garage and the emore i look at them all the more i realize what a daunting task it's going to be sorting and cataloging and getting this is some sort of order, but it was cool doing a little digging in your own records and finding stuff i had forgotten i had!

Anyway, with X-mas looming and the prospect of Santa bringing the devil here a mp3 turntable, it should be soon that i will be able to download some tunes for the few that actually tune in over here.

In the meantime, here's a hot little cover and another cha cha for for eyes!

The cha cha cover isn't a true winner as the chicky babe is a so-so, but the red & white striped stocking make up for it! and the other one is a WINNER in my book!
Some bare feet, a little belly meat and a little camel toe action! Funny, but that picture was taken over 40 years ago and she has to be in her 20's so chances are that hot number is an old ass granny now or even possible dead....

Cold as a witches tit this morning scores & red hot funk later tonight!!!





Man o' man it was cold this morning. After dropping my kids off this morning i got out to "the spot" albeit a little late. Jack the Ripper, Prime, Prestige & JJB were all already out there along with usual suspects, aka, the meatball, eggbeard & the old man, so i didn't hold much hope of finding anything after the bones were already picked clean by the vultures that were about but i dug deep and found a few things.

The old man was holding a record for me which I was thankful to score. A nice clean 1958 original stereo pressing of the Rock-A-Teens album woo-hoo. It's more rare than the mono and i guess it books pretty high, or at least the old man told me so. So needless to say this wasn't a dollar score buy WAY under what it books since he only "traded" for it. I'm psyched to have it because it's a great early little rock and roll record with some killer instrumental cuts. It has a little writing on the cover but whatever, you don't play the cover!

I also score some cool pic sleeves on the cheap @ 50 cent a pop and some cool 60's RnR/Psych 45's and a few cool LP's.

Anyway, looking forward to tonight's 45 session as i pulled some serious shit to spin and hope some folks will be digging the fuzzier side of some of my choices! I had a little mini heart attack this afternoon when i couldn't find one of my 45 boxes with hsome of my money in it! but alas it was found and I am fucking ready!

A few scores and thanks!


I was going to post this on Sunday but waited until after the Flea Market Funk meets The Devil's Music mix was posted so it didn't get in the way.



Also want to give a public shout once again to DJ Pestige for the most exceelent job he did on the mix. I'm glad some folks dug it. I must have listened to both mixes 30 times already!


Thanks Pres you are truly the man!


So here goes last Sunday's post today!


I got up early today and believe it or not my little man wanted to get up and go to the flea market. Not to look for records but to look for star wars figures. So of course i was all up for it and got a little digging in. It was cold but the coffee was hot. And there was a lot of action out there even with the tables covered in frost. I found some cool records on the cheap but no star wars guy for the little man. I had to explain to him that some days you score & some days you don't but its all in the trying.

Here is a list of some of the scores: I got a nice mix of Rock & Soul stuff with some cool & odd LP's. Some of this stuff I already own but these were pretty nice clean copies.

If anyone has any information on the Ill Bred Mind 45 please let me know! I had to buy a whole box of common stuff to score it and I wasn't going to let another Soul Invaders Inc scenario happen so I bought the whole box just to get this one 45. It is an organ heavy psych number with a cover of "walk on by" on the flip and no information on the record at all, not even song credits. I looked online and seached popsike and couldn't turn up anything on it so if anyone has and info please contact me and let me know as it seems pretty "rare"...
