Fresh Grabs

I had to refresh my stocks in order to survive quarantine. I also to support my local RS, and not the big companies. The store owner was kind enough to bring the records to my house, so I didn't have to go out to get them.

V.A. - We out here

Star Band de Dakar - S.T.
This one was suggested to me by the store owner. It is a 70s band from Senegal who mixed Cuban music with the psychedelia of those years. It kicks ass, give it a listen if you haven't already.
 
Hadn't been home for a couple of weeks so and I had a big stack of preorders and online purchases that I arrived to:

Spiritual Jazz - Esoteric, Modal And Deep Jazz From The Underground 1968-77 (Jazzman, 2019 Compilation)
Spiritual Jazz 10 - Prestige (Jazzman, 2019 Compilation)
George Otsuka Quintet - Physical Structure (Three Blind Mice / Le Tres Jazz Club, 2019 Pressing)
Hozan Yamamoto With Sharps & Flats - Beautiful Bamboo-Flute (Mr Bongo, 2019 Pressing)
Makoto Terashita - Great Harvest (Le Tres Jazz Club, 2019 Pressing)
Pete La Roca - Basra (Blue Note, 2020 BN80 Pressing)
Matthew Halsall - Colour Yes (Gondwana Records, 2019 Pressing)
This stack was part of the Music Magpie sale which @Mr Moore linked a while ago, so cheers for that buddy.

A mix of stuff here. I bought the Terumasa Hino and Bob Dylan from the same seller and he threw in Gil Evans and Ronald Shannon Jackson records which was nice. LOVING the Dylan, maybe my favourite album of his.

The Raconteurs ‎– Live In Tulsa (Third Man Records, 2020 Vault Package No. 43)
My final Vault package for a while. Its a great service but pretty pricy for internationals.

Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela - Rejoice
The Black Keys - Brothers
Art Blakey - Buhaina's Delight
Keith Jarrett - Munich 2016

My local in Oslo has closed down, physically at least, but was offering free home shipping for a day. When buying records feels like a humanitarian duty, you just have to 😊 Mostly some great jazz and one of the best Black Keys. Really looking forward to checking out the Tony Allen/Hugh Masekela. Got some polylined 7" sleeves to protect my African 7s better.

How is that Faces boot? I bought one a while ago and had to return due to how poorly cut it was and the mix was so quiet I could barely hear the music at max volume

Really good actually. I've been impressed with these Mac boots. These have a 2018 stamp on back but were on pre order for ages and kept getting delayed so I think freshly pressed
 
HMV & Amazon Japan deliveries. Thank you customs to remind me to limit my purchases from HMV, they really hit hard every time. Thankfully there was a coupon deal and I saved 20 to 25% on each item. The last two I ordered from Amazon.

Support your local record shop! Balades Sonores in Paris are offering a Mystey Bag deal during this Covid-19-lockdown situation. I bought one and they nailed it. They nailed it so much that I already had 2 of the 6 records the picked for me. I don't know who nor what is Thomas Mery but I had the last three under my radar. Canciones Del Perú is a compilation curated by Vincent Moon (the guy behind National's movie A Skin, A night movie). Sachiko Kanenobu's album is part of Light in the Attic Japan Archival Serie and Golden Hands was released by Belgian label SdBan (I've been collecting a lot of their records, mainly from their Belgian jazz sub label SdBan Ultra.) So yeah, they nailed it. They added a book, a DVD, a t-shirt and a ceramic piece. All this for 150€.

Various ‎– Chansons Du Pérou / Canciones Del Perú
The Real ShooBeeDoo ‎– Reminiscing
The Comet Is Coming ‎– Afterlife
Sachiko Kanenobu ‎– Misora
Golden Hands ‎– Golden Hands
Vincent Maston - Germain dans le Métro
