The Smiley Smile Message Board

went down to a friend's in Bloomington Indiana and decided to stop by Tracks vinyl and Landlock music stores....in Tracks, I found a copy of Holland with lyrics sheet and Mt. Vernon and Fairway!!!! Ep and sleeve included for 7$...Randomly found Carl's Youngblookd album, very unexpected for 10$.....and then bought an in the wrap copy of Hi, How are You? by Daniel Johnston for 13$...pretty pumped about this

Cool vinyl shopping is always fun.

especially when you find "rarities"...mostly late 60s to 70s BB stuff...I did find a copy of Surf's Up with lyric sheet, but i was short on cash & it was not in a favored condition, and I usually accept anything.

and I did see a Surfin' Safari album.......but it was a re-release

I fiinally found the late 70's Anaheim '76 boot. It's the 1976 special along with a couple of Shindig performances. It's really rare and I paid a lot for it. Still I am glad to have it, and it does play different without the visuals.

nice! good cover?

Well the cover isn't all that great. Most 70's boots had lousy paste on covers. By the 80's many of them looked really good.

I found a load of BB 45s this week and some awesome CDs. So I am pretty happy myself :)

picked up gerswhin's american in paris/rhapsody in blue in the dollar bin at easy street a couple weeks ago

also got the cap n tennille's love will keep us together...again in the dollar bin

ah, with Cuddle Up, Disney Girls, God Only Knows, and I Write The Songs on it.

you got it! perfect condition too...for a dollar!

Yeah, i've got that one too...that album's not mentioned much in the BB-related world...You'd think they'd cover more Denny's tunes with Darryl and Denny bein buds...but Cuddle Up is good enough i reckon

I picked a cassette tape of VDP's Song Cycle for a buck a while back.

Nice! I've never seen any products in my neck of the woods (Indiana) for Van Dyke Parks....I had to specially order Orange Crate Art.

Oh, and I did find a vinyl copy of the Popeye soundtrack besides that

I saw vinyl at a Barnes and Noble today. I was overjoyed! Back when I was a kid in the eighties all book stores and gorcery's and department stores had records. It was such a great thing I bought a Johnny Casl Hits LP.

This past weekend I picked up almost 40 records at a lawn sale for $20. ;D ;D Got some good stuff, first Doors album, Dark Side of the Moon, Band on the Run, a couple Stevie Wonder albums, 3-disc Supremes compilation, ELP's Brain Salad Surgery, a 4-disc Columbia Records 50s and 60s hits comp, Elton John's Caribou ,Chicago II, VI, and VII, Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic, a couple of early 70s Bee Gees hits comps, and a ton of other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head...   ...But sadly, no BB records. :( :(

I have the Supremes one, the Doors, and Band On The Run. All are very good.

The thread about Starlines piqued my interest as you can see. :lol

A cool 45 collection to be sure!

You know... I do have a few of these already, but if every 45 overthere would cost me $2-5 then I would easily sprend $300 too...

Now where's that store exactly?  ::)


Fun to see the Starline-virus starts to infect others as well...  ;D

€25,- ...

One note about that boot, Klaas...that's actually the first half of the November 1971 Princeton show. Good old 70s bootlegs with their misinformation. :)

I have that also.
I got a copy from
Wayne Roger's Records
Found in the back
of Rolling Stone.
My copy is on
The Wizardo
label.

I know... the tracks that are listed already hint towards a 71 show. Mostly Surf's Up tracks.

 Dennis is not on this recording.
 Mike Kowalski is.
 They do a rockin'
 SU.S.A. on this LP!!!!!

That's a good record.

Went to a small record fair today. The vintage:
- Sunflower (German pressing on Emidisc)
- Pet Sounds (a limited edition "From The Capitol Faults" 180 grams, sealed)
- Little Honda / Wendy (Starline tan label)
- Surfin' USA/Shut Down (original US pressing, with Chuck Berry credits)
- Surfin' USA/Shut Down (Starline, purple label)
- Surfin' USA/Shut Down (Starline rainbow label)
- Surfin' Safari/409 (Starline tan label)
- Good Vibrations/Let's Go Away... (Dutch pressing and to my surprise with fixed hole, not a centerpiece that can be pushed out)
- Little Deuce Coupe / Barbara Ann (Collectables series)
- BB Medley / Do You Wanna Dance? (Collectables series)


Ah, the Starline fever is hitting on me as well...

I just got the Beatles Rarities (1980 US version) for $10, the appeals for me were getting to have the Inner Light on vinyl, the full outro mix of Penny Lane issued to radio stations without the fooling around at the end like on Anthology 2 and that it's the cheapest way to get the infamous Yesterday and Today butcher photo.

I also got the vinyl pressing of Thin Lizzy Still Dangerous which I'd been looking for the last while.

Punkinhead:

I currently live in Indianapolis but in the '80s I lived in Bloomington, Indiana. Back then there was a great record shop called Ozarka. When I needed quick cash I sold them a lot of rare vinyl from my collection. Unfoirtunately I didn't get a chance to buy the stuff back because instead of putting my records in the store they probably sold them by mail!

Last year I had a job repairing "Moviecube"/"New Release" DVD rental machines at Kroger stores and I made several repair trips down to Bloomington. But our company lost the Kroger contract to our competitor, "Redbox". We offer more movies (400+ titles) but people prefer Redbox's "return anywhere" policy, which we don't have.

In the late '70s I found a UK pressing of "Mt. Vernon & Fairway" without the Holland LP!

nice

While snooping through my uncle's vinyl collection, that cleary hasn't been touched in many years, i came across a BW autographed Holland album. Let the negotiations begin!

o yes!

that my friend is a rarity and a fantastic find!

Here in Indiana, we have the annual Covered Bridge Festival, which is usually crafty stuff, but some like to sell their junk...so that means i scan for vinyl...didnt find a whole lot...but noteworthy in my book:
-Come Go with Me/Dont Go Near the Water 45
-R&R Music/TM Song 45
1$ each


no albums but a Spirit of America, which i already own two copies of and Endless Summer (the guy was charging 40$ for that one!)...needless to say i passed them up

You guys are nerds :p  ;D

I bought BB'85 the other day for a dollar!

I have the original hand written lyrics to a BB '85 song. Beat that.  ;D

Aegir- BB85 on vinyl is the greatest defender that the album doesnt totally suck...to me, the mix on vinyl has a bit more balls to it...wish Male Ego was on there!

Jay- anyone posting on this board is a nerd   ;D     btw, where'd you get the hand written lyrics? Did someone write them all or just Carl/Mike/Landy?

Funny story - at the same record store, there was a $3 Rick Astley album that I also bought. When we got back to my friends' house, I put on the Rick Astley album first. One of the guys, Sean, left for some reason, and during that time I took the Rick Astley album off and replaced it with BB'85. A little while later, Sean comes back and "Where I Belong" is playing. He says, "Why are you still listening to Rick Astley?! Put on that Beach Boys album!" We all cracked up.

BTW, i forgot to mention I found the Plastic Ono Band single of Give Peace a Chance, nothing breathtaking I know...but I noticed the writing credit was Lennon/McCartney, what was with that?  Was that single still in contract with that whole lennon/mccartney thing? Anyone spread the news for me? thanks

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (France Pressing, has a cover variation, unlike the no text on the front cover UK version or the North American version with Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother in rodeo rope font it just says Pink Floyd in large bold black rockwell font.)

Armageddon - S/T (Keith Relph's last project, a killer hard rock supergroup.)

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Live Rust

Black Sabbath - S/T (new 2 lp reissue with an album of bonus tracks. Includes Evil Woman and Wicked World.)
