Waiting to get my copy!

Spinning this one, good stuff probably late 70s? Like high quality disco easy listening but in a good way.

@million, maybe it belongs on your "lady's name library" list? The B side tracks are named Angelica, Beatrice, Catherine, Dorothy, Evelyn and Francesca.

I like this ^

[milliondollars]

great spot @Texas. thanks a lot! one that i have missed, but now is in there...

a little nasty from Jean Paul to place his ladies on the b-side of his record but there must have been a reason for that, haha!

[milliondollars]

Wow amazing stuff @million

But, are sure this is a good idea?

I mean, maybe someone had hidden these records as far away from each other as possible for a good reason!

Whatever you do don't listen to them during a full moon!

Yeah! And don't get them wet or feed them after midnight either!

haha! i like the idea! soon i will be sitting in my living room like...



and then like...

@million

I hope that's you having summoned the devil and not burning your library's in the second picture!! : O

[milliondollars]

@Dollar: haha! certainly i hope i will not burn my collection. i was rather hoping that my view is going to be like...well you know...

[Dollarhyde]

Heheh

I wasn't 100% sure what film the pics were from but now I am, that bit stuck in my mind :)

[Steve Powder]

@Texas That rock music sister record is also great, usignolo, don't remember the title now. Waiting on your impressions on THE Open Air record though. Isn't that reissue coming on now?

Also great spins everybody

[milliondollars]

spinning something that i consider a super classic. personally i would rate it as Gianni Mazza's best record. a repress is long overdue as this does not show up too often. some tracks appear on one of those old Black Cat comps but for me the whole record is great...

more classic material. love the fact that this really might have been used for scoring somehow someway because the tracks Motuproprio and Polyphony have a small marking on the sleeve. got this straight out of an old italian studio so these two markings must have a meaning. funnily this battened copy from ebay from 2016 has a marking on the Motuproprio track, too. must have been a italian favourite...

@million I have looked a long time for this one! I have La Città 1 and Thrilling but have never been able to find La Città 2 or my big want on Fly, Cross Way.

@steve open air is a dream, it is a bold and ambitious record fusing disparate styles you wouldn't think go together. And I do like the Usignolo, I need the companion which is Disco Music. Also I have been looking for one called Bands Harmony. They aren't like super hyped but also don't turn up much either.

[texasvinyl]

Popfolkmusic $800, ouch

[milliondollars]

could not believe my eyes! such an average record. maybe two or three interesting tunes on there...crazy auction!

[milliondollars]

some library nonsense:

the super rare, sought after and three digit price tag italian Divergenze apparently is the not sought after, unloved french dollar bin record Retro, Boulot, Rigolo

of course this needed to be figured out first...

Do those really contain the same music? Or is it an error in the Discogs Database to combine those two?

[milliondollars]

same record, you can see it from the same track durations also...really funny!

but the big question is: who is the real composer behind these, haha!

I've said it before, and I'll now say it again:

The world of library music is a mother-effin NIGHTMARE.

The closest I've ever come to the madness which you afficianados deal with is when I flirted with collecting private press LPs for about ten minutes and VERY quickly realised that I would lose my shirt, my girl and my ever-lovin sanity (in no particular order!)

This thread gives me the goddam cold sweats. Good luck brothers.

[milliondollars]

dam't ScoJo, your message feels so umpleasant...it feels like...



library collecting is tough but somebody's gotta do it!

***edit***

The world of library music is a mother-effin NIGHTMARE.

after seeing this Musax selling for 400 € i confirm...it is a mother-effin nightmare indeed :(

[Steve Powder]

@Million

Haha! I'm here seriosly laughing about that coincidence! Funny how it works like that.

I've also got a friend, Roope who is catching loads of boxes of library lps. Hes getting 20 de wolfes soon. I get so jealous and a bit sad honestly when he gets the best deals around. I sometimes get to buy his records that he doesnt need. I need to be as alert as him I quess, to catch the real deal. Unforgiving stuff I agree Scojo!

[milliondollars]

yeah, it's quite funny because the best deals on library you make in the wild. record shops want to sell their stuff actually. only the super rare stuff does not turn up and if it does, you have to pay big bucks. looking forward to see hat DeWolfe you can get!

[texasvinyl]

That depends, in the wild here all we see is US library and occasionally some UK. And the US (and I think the majority of UK stuff too) is spotty at best, or filler, or all 15 second news cues, or classical, or just plain God awful. One time I dropped the needle on 200+ records from a big library collection, all the same mystery label. So, so terrible. And then someone traded a Rene Costy Small Group Sounds, they sold it for $300. Some others they've had literally for years, priced $40-80, labels like Omnimusic and Impress.

So maybe in Europe, certainly not in the US. One day I hope to find an intact Capitol Media Music collection.

[milliondollars]

a compete Capitol set? count me in when you find two,...but i doubt this does exist. it seems like they have trouble within their own catalogue, haha!

[milliondollars]

have played this one again and it inspired me to do a little review on discogs. love that one!

Also @Scojo I would love to see your hard earned "nightmare" libraries more on here!
