76. The RAPTURE: “House Of Jealous Lovers” (DFA Records – OPRDFA-001) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint). Original 2002 UK first pressing of ear-blistering Television-cum infested 3 track LP that rips the system apart like a pile of cheap hay. This is uglier than any group of mutants you see at a bad insane asylum. When playing this, the nerves on my neck burn like open soars on a rabies infected dog! It is that good, gets the adrenaline flowing like the rising edge of a speed trip. Killer!!!! Price: 30 Euro
77. RAZORCUTS: “I Heard You The First Time b/w First Day” (Flying Nin (UK) – fnuk-9) (Single Record: Near Mint/ Picture Sleeve: Excellent). Scare IK 1981 first pressing. 'First Day' begins with the gentlest 12-string strumming before the sharp, tambourine heavy drums crack in and we're swept up in a giddy whirl of optimism, "Oh can you feel the morning sun// Oh will it shine till evening comes" ....naive idealism?? Well...maybe, but the joy is so infectious you want to run naked through cornfields, jump off waterfalls, bristling with electric adolescent vigor!! Youth is wasted on the young? No, that's just something bitter old bastards say. Youth wasn't wasted on me and listening to this song again, I feel that fire..."That's when you say that you're going to change my mind// That's when you show me the world I never can find". Surprisingly, 'First Day' was only the B-side....Side A's 'I Heard You The First Time' is an equally splendid piece, with backing vocalist Yvonne's voice prominent on the main lines "Oh I heard you the first time// You act like you've got something worth saying// But I'm still waiting for that day". Either way, if you felt any love for the Byrds, then the Razorcuts will definitely catapult you to similar eargasmatic regions. Price: 35 Euro
78. RICH KIDS: “Twelve Inches High” (Nasty Records – Nasty-001) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint). Long gone issue that came out as a numbered limited edition of only 315 copies. What a blast of pure uncut juvenile trashy punk by Glen Matlock’s post Sex Pistols outfit but totally underrated. Trashy and wild live set from 1978 recorded at a bunch of different locations. Highest recommendation! Price: 30 Euro
79. STEIG, JEREMY: "Wayfaring Stranger" (Solid Records/ KINg Records - SR-3116) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint) WHITE label PROMO issue - Japan only issue that comes housed in unique sleeve art. Price: 25 Euro
80. TURRENTINE, TOMMY PLUS MAX ROACH QUINTET: "S/T" (Time/ Teichiku Records - ULS-1907) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Top shape Price: 25 Euro
81. The RICHARD TWARDZIK TRIO / The RUSS FREEMAN TRIO: “S/T” (Pacific Jazz Records/ Toshiba EMI – PJ-1212) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Long gone high quality Japanese pressing of stunning jazz slide. Japanese 12-track mono LP, featuring the one recorded session by the ill-fated pianist Richard Twardzik, in a trio with bassist Carson Smith and drummer Peter Littman, recorded at Rudy's Van Gelder's studio in December, 1954. The Russ Freeman side was recorded in LA in 1953 with Joe Mondragon on Bass and Shelly Manne on Drums. Picture sleeve with Japanese insert & obi. So good it makes my jaw drop to the floor each time I give this one a spin. All killer, Twardzik is the man!!!! Price: 30 Euro
82. ROACH, MAX: “Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite - We Insist!" (Candid/ Victor Records - SMJ-6169) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). All time classic - so essential it hurts. Price: 25 Euro
83. ROACH, MAX QUARTET: “Max Roach Quartet Live In Tokyo Vol. 1” (Denon/ Nippon Columbia – YZ-134-ND) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Japan only issue that saw the light of day in 1981, all complete issue. Beautiful sounds from the ultra-hip Max Roach Quartet of the mid 70s – a lineup that features Billy Harper on tenor, Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet, and Reggie Workman on bass! Tracks are long – very much in the Harper style of the time. Killer slide and dead cheap. Price: 35 Euro
84. ROLLINS, SONNY: “Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders” (Contemporary/ King Records – SR-3083) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near mint). Top shape Japan 1st original press issue all complete with rare King obi. Price: 30 Euro
85. ROLLINS, SONNY with the Modern Jazz Quartet – Art Blakey & Kenny Drew: “S/T” (Prestige/ Victor Records – SMJ-6583M) (Record: Near Mint ~ Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint) Top condition Japanese press issue with all included. Price: 30 Euro
86. ROLLINS, SONNY: “Saxophone Colossus” (Prestige/ Victor – SMJ-6501) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Top condition Japan high quality pressing from 1975. Comes with nice cold ink lettered signature by Tommy Flanagan. Price: 40 Euro
87. ROLLINS, SONNY: “Sonny Rollins Plays For Bird” (Prestige/ Victor Records – SMJ-6587) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Clean Japanese press issue all complete with obi. The tenor of Sonny Rollins pays tribute to the alto of Charlie Parker -- in a landmark set that's one of Sonny's real standouts 50s sessions for Prestige! Sonny's tone on the tenor is proud and bold throughout -- able to shift and turn in the spirit of Bird, but also very much in Rollins' own highly inventive mode as well. The group features Max Roach on drums -- who cut a contemporary Bird tribute of his own on Mercury -- plus Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Wade Legge on piano, and George Morrow on bass. Titles include a "Bird Medley" that takes up all of side one -- featuring "Old Folks", "Star Eyes", "Just Friends", and "My Little Suede Shoes", all given the Parker twist -- and side 2 features a great long cut called "Kids Know", plus a shorter take on "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face". Price: 30 Euro
88. ROLLINS, SONNY: “Sonny Rollins On Impulse” (Impulse – YS-8507-AI) (Record: Near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Excellent ~ near Mint/ 2 Inserts: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Top shape high quality Japanese pressing all complete with inserts and obi. Price: 30 Euro
89. ROLLINS, SONNY: “Alfie” (Impulse – YX-8554-AI) (Record: Near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Virginally clean Japanese pressing all complete with obi. “Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins loaned his flair for the dramatic to the score for the film Alfie, accompanying the story of what the liner notes describe as "the involuntary education of a hipster." Arranged by Oliver Nelson, the soundtrack follows the character's evolution from the carefree, rakish Lothario of "Alfie's Theme" to the contemplative, somewhat broken man reflected in "Alfie's Theme Differently." Rollins attempts to capture the textures of life through his incisive and energetic playing, his coherent improvisations, and variations on musical themes. While "Alfie's Theme" and its variants make the most lasting impression, "He's Younger Than You Are" is touching, laced with regret. And the sensual, relaxed "On Impulse" has a nice sense of immediacy.” (All Music Guide). Price: 30 Euro
90. SALVATION ARMY: “Befour Three O’Clock” (Frontier Records – PLP-1008) (Record: VG++ ~ Excellent/ Jacket: VG++) Damned cheap but highly essential Paisely Underground act…but not that easy to find in the wyld. A rough but engaging debut for this three-piece garage rock band with a '60s bent. Punk in spirit but filled in with near-psychedelic guitar swirls and pop vocals, the band forged the foundation of the Paisley Underground movement, a sound that incorporated the best of the '60s from the Beatles to the Byrds to the Velvet Underground. "She Turns to Flowers" and "While We Were in Your Room Talking to Your Wall," if only in their titles, send a clear message of where the band was coming from. Brilliant slide!!! Highest recommendation. Price: 40 Euro
91. SATO MASAHIKO: “Magnolia No Ki” (Denon Jazz/ Nippon Columbia – YX-7571-ND) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint) Amazing but sadly largely overlooked Sato Masahiko slide – top shape original 1st press with obi. This work was created in 1977 by Sato, who was inspired by the work of Kenji Miyazawa. The delicate, beautiful, and somewhat Japanese-style melody evokes memories of the original and mental landscapes of the Japanese people. Still, it is a good quality music that is full of fun as improvisation music. Price: 35 Euro
92. SHEPP, ARCHIE & CHICAGO BEAU: “Black Gipsy” (America/ Nippon Columbia – XM-140-AX) (Record: Near Mint ~ Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint) Top condition Japan 1st original press issue and pressed on high quality black wax!!!! Awesome! Price: 30 Euro
93. SHEPP, ARCHIE: “Coral Rock” (America – 6103) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Excellent) Original French 1st press issue. Price: 35 Euro
94. SHEPP, ARCHIE: “Pitchin Can” (America – 6106) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Excellent) Original French 1st press issue. Price: 35 Euro
95. SIMON & GARFUNKEL:“America b/w Old Friends” (CBS Sony – CBSA-82117) (7 Inch Record Single: Near Mint/ Gatefold Picture Sleeve: Near Mint/ Company Inner Sleeve: Near Mint). Rare WHITE label PROMO issue that comes housed in Japan only gatefold picture sleeve. Rarely seen promo for dirt cheap. Top condition! Price: 30 Euro
96. The STOOGES: “S/T” (Elektra – EKS-74051) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint). Top condition Canadian press issue from 1982. Price: 30 Euro
97. The STOOGES: “Fun House” (Elektra – EKS-74071) (Record: Near Mint/ gatefold Jacket: Near Mint). Top condition Canadian press from 1982. Price: 30 Euro
98. The CECIL TAYLOR QUARTET: “Looking Ahead!” (Contemporary/ King Records – LAX-3028) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Original Japanese pressing in outstanding condition. Cecil Taylor's definitely Looking Ahead here – pushing jazz piano very strongly into the 60s with his modernist tones – yet still working with a bit more restraint than in the next decade! The style here is quite unusual – and almost more fresh than the Taylor sound of later years, which has been copped heavily by other players. Cecil's somewhat free here, but also still a bit structured – playing both in angular tones and these rapid riffs that kind of burst out quickly in bold streams of colors. Other members of the group are equally striking – and include the lesser-known Earl Griffiths on vibes, working with great tones next to Taylor's piano – plus Buell Neidlinger on bass and Dennis Charles on drums. Top shape, impossible to upgrade upon. Price: 30 Euro
99. TAYLOR, CECIL: “Nefertiti” (Freedom/ Trio Records – PA-9708) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Top condition Japanese press issue of all time classic. Complete with OBI and Insert, pristine and virginal all the way. Price: 30 Euro
100. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: “S/T” (Edsel Records – ED233) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Clean UK reissue from 1987. Price: 30 Euro
101. WALDRON, MAL: “Mal 1” (Prestige/ Victor Records – SMJ-6509) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Top shape 1975 Japan high quality pressing of killer Mal slide. This shit is even cheaper than your average crappy reissues these days so a no-brainer in my world. Price: 25 Euro
102. WALDRON, MAL: “Mal 3/ Sounds” (Prestige/ Victor Records – SMJ-6511) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Excellent ~ Near Mint – little browning stain on right hand side/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Japan 1976 pressing of fantastic Mal Waldron slide. A really wonderful album from Mal Waldron that is quite different than most of his other records from the 50s, and done with a righteous undercurrent that almost points the way towards the Strata East generation of the 70s! The set's one of Mal's few 50s albums as a leader to feature horns strongly, used in a very focused way, and quite different than Waldron's appearances on blowing sessions at the time. Art Farmer sparkles wonderfully in the lead, alongside Eric Dixon on flute, both players exhibiting a really rich sense of imagination, tone, and colour. The small group also features some unique cello from Calo Scott and Elaine Waldron also sings a bit, giving the record a deeply soulful undercurrent. The whole thing's wonderful! A must and dead cheap. Price: 30 Euro
103. WALDRON, MAL: “Left Alone” (Philips – FS-6503) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint) Top condition 1977 Japan high quality pressing all complete with obi. Another stellar Japan only Waldron slide, set in a minimalist setting where he gets flanked by Japanese jazz core players Mine Kohsuke, Isao Suzuki and Nakamura Yoshimura at times. Essential as usual!!! Price: 30 Euro
104. WALDRON, MAL: “Les Nuits De La Negritude” (Freedom/ King Records – K18P-9391) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Excellent ~ Near Mint with faintest trace of mild foxing only. Total killer slide, so good it HURTS!!! Again, bargain bin dirt sniffing cheap and an uncut fix straight through your veins into your pathetic little brains that will shoot you up towards eternal bliss. What more can a mere moral possibly ask for more? Price: 30 Euro
105. WALDRON, MAL: “A Little Bit Of Miles” (Freedom/ King Records – K18P-9392) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Pristine Japanese pressing of another no-brainer record. Dirst cheap, virginally clean, awesome music, the quickest fix towards Valhalla. Price: 25 Euro
106. WALDRON, MAL: “News – Run About Mal” (Progressive Records/ Teichiku Records – ULS-6078-G) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint) Almost all Mal’s recordings are essential, and this one is no different. Price: 25 Euro
107. The GEORGE WALLINGTON QUINTET: “Jazz At Hotchkiss” (CBS Sony – SOPL-58-SY) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint – still housed in shrink/ Obi: Mint – still housed in shrink/ Insert: Near Mint). Top condition Japan original all complete. This set features pianist George Wallington and his 1957 quintet (which consists of trumpeter Donald Byrd, altoist Phil Woods, bassist Knobby Totah and drummer Nick Stabulas) stretching out on five numbers. The repertoire is highlighted by Bud Powell’s "Dance of the Infidels" and Dizzy Gillespie’s "Ow." Both Woods and Byrd are in excellent form, making this an essential outing for bop fans.Perfect condition original! Price: 30 Euro

X-RAY SPEX: The Day The World Turned Day-Glo b/w I am A Poseur” (Art-I-Ficial – INT-553) (7 Inch Single Record: Near Mint – with Center Piece still attached/ Flip Back Picture Sleeve: Excellent ~ Near Mint). Original 1978 UK 1st original press issue of totally essential punk slyde. I hope your collecting habit is all about creating a line-up of great music and not just rare shitty records. If the latter is the case, these pages are not for you….ever! People just cashing collectible slides to impress their virtual friends on Instagram just give me acute gonorrhea! No ears, no style, just next level snobbery by middle class white trash who never sniffed glue or dropped acid but collect music that floats on the fumes of these great substances. So yeah, you are a poseur but if not and amazing music is your trip regardless value or scarcity, you better tune in and strap on! This one is obligatory mind food. Price: 25 Euro
110. YAMASHITA YOSUKE TRIO: “Koko Ha Shizuka Na Saizensen; Yokoyama Rie b/w Tenshi No Koukotsu M-3” (Solid Records – SD-515) (EP Record: Mint/ Picture Sleeve: Mint/ Picture Card Insert: Near Mint).
