Very likely the most ridiculous 2 days of deliveries I’ve ever had.
Big thanks to @texasvinyl for the deals on the spaghetti western and the library discs.
Some of these exotica records are ones I already have, but most of the Lyman discs are all virtually mint (jackets and discs) and unplayed. And they weren’t even expensive.

Looking very sharp @havershaw!
I need that Kill Them All and Come Back Alone!

[inksb]

That looks like an exciting haul.

[Bezulsqy]

Look what I just now payed a lot of custom duties for

[inksb]

wow Bez, that's some heavy hitters right there. I don't know what that 7" that says KILL on it is but I want it, love the design of the artwork.

It is the 7" belonging to this full release: https://www.discogs.com/Berto-Pisano-Ju ... ter/549613
I have the Roundtable re-issue and it is brilliant: https://www.discogs.com/Berto-Pisano-Ja ... se/6423322
The Japanese OG is out of my reach.

Hopefully this pressing is better than the first...

I'm very curious to hear what others think about the repress. Also that In The Mood For Love release is wonderful.

[havershaw]

Wowww, @Bez! Three of those Morricone records I was totally unfamiliar with. They seem really cool.

[inksb]

Well my wife absolutely spoiled me for my bday this year. Very very excited to add all of these to the collection.



And then I spoiled myself with a few records as well. Here are two of the 4 I bought myself.
Got a decent deal on Aliens, just under $40 in really great condition. And Uncontrolled Substance I got a great deal on, that's been selling for over $100 for the last year or so, in various conditions. This one has a few minor issues but I was ok with that as the seller let me pick it up for $35.

[Bezulsqy]

that is some gift @Inks! And happy birthday!

[ScoJo]

Salutations, @inky! Have a great one :)

[Dollarhyde]

Happy birthday @inks!you got some great presents, that Totoro ost! I still need to get that. Have good one!

[inksb]

Thanks gentlemen. This was a delayed bday gift as LITA can't deliver shit with 6 weeks of lead time lol. My actual bday was on Tuesday. Seems like there's a lot spring children around here.

[CrossedPete]

Happy Belated @Inks nice pickups. That Inspectah Deck album is pretty solid. I’ve been slowly tracking down Wu-Tang members solo albums especially ones Rza produced and on that front I think I’m only missing two. U-Gods Golden arms Redemption and Capadonna’s The Pillage. Anyways I hope you had a great b-day

Yeah I love Uncontrolled Substance, I actually hold it in very high regard among the Wu solo output. It's a slight step down from the first run of Wu solo stuff. OB4CL and Liquid Swords are two of the best hip hop albums ever imo. Supreme Clientele is right up there too, stepping down from there I put Ironman, Fishscale, OB4CL2, Tical, Return to 36 Chambers & Uncontrolled Substance in the next tier. Followed by Made In Brooklyn, The Pillage and Bobby Digital. The rest all kind of fall in the mid category or lower for me. A lot of those early Wu records are getting pricey, even the reissues. Supreme Clientele is around 150-200 now, it's a record I saw in shops for years and years and just kept putting off bc my CD copy was fine. Now I want one but don't want to spend the money.

It's a shame that Inspectah Deck's intended debut was lost in RZA's infamous studio flood. I would be willing to bet that one was something special that we lost forever.

HBD Inks! Excellent arrivals!

[havershaw]

Wow, some great stuff there! and happy belated birthday!

I’m with you when it comes to OB4CL and Liquid Swords, 2 of my favourite albums of any genre for sure.

I had no idea Supreme Clientele is so expensive these days damn I should of grabbed it a long time ago when I used to see it everywhere. I also slept on a copy of Fishscale for $8. I don’t know what I was thinking, Still kick myself for that one. Although it’s not my biggest regret when it comes to the mighty Wu. I got to see them live a few years back. After the show they promoted an after party at a local bar. I went hung out til about 3:30 am then bailed as I had to wake up early to help my bro move the next day. My buddy stayed told me they came on like 10 min after I left and played for 2 hours. He’s not the biggest Wu Tang fan so he wasn’t able to tell me the songs that were preformed but I can only imagine.

I never knew about Rza’s studio flooding but your probably right that we missed out on some gold.

Great haul dude! Happy belated!

[Bezulsqy]

and I finally was able to get a copy of this book

[ScoJo]

Nice Bez, you got the 7" version too :)

Just fyi for anyone who hasn't snagged it yet, there's an expanded deluxe edition coming in Sept:

[Dollarhyde]

The first parts of the tigerlab sub finally arrived for me. These are both really solid entries to their catalogue imo, well worth checking out.
The other records are more cheap Joe hisaishi pickups, finally got the arion ost after getting every other arion related record out there, there are numerous. The other two are bgm records for an early 80s anime "Futari daka", so early 80s synth hisaishi, both a bit of a mixed bag bit definitely some great tracks on them. I've not seen or know anything about the anime.

You’re telling me now.... :-)
Does the new one contain BOR/RR releases? Otherwise I don’t think I need it.

[Bezulsqy]

3 new Morricone and one on Varèse
