yes, I know today's the 5th
but I went on yesterday afternoon

pretty day for a road trip huhn?

I went to the Music Treasure Chest
in Baton Rouge, LA



got this on the strength of that Growing Pains DVD
Mary J. Blige interview, THIRD COAST rapper Fat Pat (R.I.P.)
& Harlepolis (remember you mentioned this song "over there")


I try to pick up all things Kalimba!!!
saw a copy of Faces, but it was missing a record


got this on the strength of
that Butterflies thread thanx Cinnie


classic Sade


classic Sade


never heard this one before
and I got (or once had)
most of the GCS stuff on vinyl


I got this for my friend
he loves Donny/Stevie/Frank McComb
I used to have this CD


it's funny how this was one of
the first ones I spotted out
when I got to the place...
"I Call Your Name" is the reason why
but I had been looking for this
album to get into the rest of it


classic Nanny Ree... "I Get High"/"Jump" is the reason why


classic DeBarge... bought it for "Be My Lady"
but then noticed "Stay With Me", "A Dream", "Love Me In A Special Way"
are all here too... this must have been THE BIG ALBUM from this group


saw "Outstanding" was there... but listening to it
it's not the version I wanted... maybe I need to
find the 12" single... my cousin Cheryl had it


aformentioned in the DeBarge thread...
I took an interest to the post-J5 stuff
after you guys mentioned so much about
the Destiny & Triumph albums...
shout out to Timmy for the "That's What You Get" clip
my fave from here is "Push Me Away" though


I played this record last night
can somebody tell me who sampled
that beginning part of "Heartbreak Hotel"?
I KNOW I've heard it somewheres...I KNOW IT!!!


once again... I was looking for ALL that post-J5 stuff
I didn't see Victory, or the first one...


"Vanishing" is the reason why
among the obvious "Vision Of Love", "Someday"
shout out to muse87


self explanatory... but if you need
an explanation... "Just Like A Baby"
"(You Caught Me) Smilin'"
& "Poet" are reasons why


I sold my old copy back a while ago
because the cover was in terrible condition
besides the cool glasses were missing
and guess what???

what are the fucking chances!!!
I always see copies of this sans the
pop-out glasses, on digs
but never WITH the glasses... I'm so happy
I almost wanna pop them out
and take a pic with them on ROTFL
(maybe one day)


12" for "Funk U Up" by The Sequence
I have become somewhat of a STAN
of Angie B, Cheryl The Pearl & BLAHN-DEE HAAAAY!


I usually will pick it up
if I see the Stone City Band emblem
or Rick James... never heard this one
is it any good?


ditto


my "Baby Fingers" vinyl catalog is
almost complete, I now need those
first 2 Prestige albums, and the Now album
and I'm good


picked this up on the strength of that
"Galaxy" thread... shoutout funkpill


it was SoulAlive who suggested
these 2 albums too me... I kept them in mind

I'm so happy right now
I honestly don't know
which one to listen to next

Minus the pariah scary damn goods haul

Oooh

Ani't No 'Bout-A-Doubt It!

That has The Jam and It's Allright (both were played by Prince live alot)

But Water has got to be my fave, I suppose.

That's a nice dig.

DirtyChris said:

Yes, but the previous one has "I Like It" and "All This Love," their first two big hits.


You can find that version easily on their 12" Collection CD (but I bet you want the vinyl). BTW, that album is fire! "Lonely Like Me," "Early in the Morning," "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Season's No Reason to Change," "I Can't Get Over You"...


Heavy D sampled "Heartbreak Hotel" on "Peaceful Journey." Is that where you heard it?

AlexdeParis said:

just youtubed it...
nah that won't it

it was a more recent song
some male R&B group I think
damnit! I hate when this happens!
it's on the tip of my tongue

wanna say it was one of those
"sex you up" kinda slow jams...

DirtyChris said:

Oh, if it's recent, I doubt I'll be able to help.

IAintTheOne said:

Are you kidding, her debut was her best album!! Everything after that has been pure SHIT in my opinion.

shorttrini said:

you thought Emotions was pure shit

it wasnt that different (in style) from the debut

I actually think it's superior IMO

muse87 said:

She's a singles artist AFAIC. There isn't one Mariah Carey album I'd want to listen to from start to finish.

AlexdeParis said:

im dense

what's AFAIC ?

As Far As I Can See ???

muse87 said:

as far as I'm concerned

If you were panning for gold, you'd be a wealthy man.

I thought it was cool to find her debut on record. I don't see it in that format too often.

Great haul! We like the exact same schitt Glad you found that Isaac Hayes.

AlexdeParis said:

GOT IT!!!

I knew I won't crazy

DirtyChris said:

Well, you're only crazy if you like that "song" (and I use the term loosely). That crap makes me say "Whatever" and wish Ideal would "Get Gone."

muse87 said:

No, I don't think that Emotions was pure shit. I just think that her first CD was her best cause it showed her at her "in the raw". The material was pretty good and so was her voice. She really was not influenced by other styles of music yet. I enjoyed it allot.

HamsterHuey said:

I will check those out
I heard their cover of
"I Can't Stand The Rain"
and I'm like
but anything would pale in
comparison to the Ann Peebles original

he also did an Al Green remake
on one of those GCS albums
which didn't impress me either...

DirtyChris said:

I LOOOOOVE "Do what you wanna"

DirtyChris said:

THAT and Riot ruled the deal

Speaking of which, Yarbrough & Peoples have a radio show in Houston TX if I'm not mistaken (they're still married I believe).

Harlepolis said:

oh that's cool as hell
I will have to ask my potna

I got most of those records,too

You were asking if the Rick James "Throwin' Down" album was any good. It's my favorite Rick James album and it's great from start to finish. That Stone City Band "In N Out" album is a rare find. The main thing I listen to on the album is "Little Runaway". If you ever see any more Stone City Band albums, pick them up because they are almost impossible to find in stores. Be on the lookout for "Behind The Shadow" with features their most popular song "Ladies Choice".

I just re-bought two of those Jacksons albums on CD this past weekend myself, "Destiny" and "Triumph". I got them for the 12 Inch bonus tracks which were great.

The Gap Band "IV" album is also one of their best. Although I like the 12 Inch versions of the songs more.

The Sequence "Funk You Up" is a good one too. That's back when rap was actually good and worthy of being called music.

I love that Isaac Hayes album too for the long version of "Don't Let Go" alone.

As IAin'tTheOne said, minus the Mariah Scary album, you got some great ass jams.

I found this album on a recent vinyl dig Contains "Settle For My Love" and the major hit "Haven't You Heard" (full-length version) One of her best albums!

I found this album on a vinyl dig a few years ago.It's a promo copy with a white sticker on front.

---@SoulAlive - yeah Pizzazz I've had
the mp3s for a few years now...
my fav from there is
"Keepin' Faith In Love"

listened to Sunbeam...
it was heavenly
not familiar with names, but I fell
in love instantly with one
of the songs on SIDE A

@vainandy - I listened to Throwin' Down
also, and I must say that will be
the FIRST record I play when I get
in from work today... tight grooves!!!
I've never EVER heard of this album

about "Don't Let Go" I found myself
humming along with the song like I've
heard it somewheres before... is it
featured on one of his GH compliations or suhn ihn?
I've heard it SOMEWHERES

@SunnySkies - I have yet to
put the needle to iGoin' Places
I will listen to the one you mentioned
[Edited 10/6/08 11:12am]

The song "Don't Let Go" was a huge disco hit in late 1979.It was considered a comeback for Isaac,who hadn't had a big hit in awhile.Perhaps you remember your parents playing this song when you were a child?
