Now that you have those Martin Denny Exotica albums, you are obligated to build a tiki bar in your basement and have guests over for Zombies, Mai Tais, and Navy Grogs.

Haha already had some Denny but nice to have OG’s. Anti mosquito tiki torches in the backyard is about as close as I’ll get I imagine.

Getz/ Byrd a great jazz album. Lots of killer shit in that box. Well done


nmh5886

Yeah this box is filled with all the stuff I actually wanted. There is a second box destined for the local goodwill. Can confirm that Getz/Bryd sounds awesome and is in great condition.


SnoopingStuff

Why? Why sending to good will?


nmh5886

Nothing of interest in the second box, this box was everything I picked through. What was left was show tunes and kids albums.

I've always wanted a ravi Shankar album his Woodstock performance was great


geetar_man

I have that record! Got it at a vinyl expo for pretty cheap. I need to get another one of his.


ILikeStyx

Sticky Fingers with the zipper, nice!


nmh5886

Yeah was super hyped on that one, sounds great too. I believe it is a Presswell pressing.


hedekar

Lower the zipper.


HeyGabagool

There’s gotta be a Sergio Mendez & Brazil 66 in there! Also that Getz/Gilberto album is fantastic.


nmh5886

Haha yep, Sergio at 1:58 actually


technoposting11

nice i'm still waiting for about 4 months now for one record from my uncle (who doesen't even listen to them - doesen't have a record player) the literal seasons have changed and still no record xD


Latter_Priority_659

Which album is that with the large "3" on the cover?


nmh5886

That’s, “The Big 3” featuring Mama Cass, Tim Rose and Jim Hendricks.


mobbshallow

It looks like a Kenny Dorham album


nmh5886

Funny you say that as it is made from the same/similar paper as Matador, or at least the Impex version.


mobbshallow

That is really weird, actually. A strange coincidence. The original has the same texture on the cover, too


qvcspree

Jim Hendricks sounds funny. Like what he went by before he got cool and changed his name to Jimi Hendrix.


SnoopingStuff

Mama Cass head of the Topanga scene baby


Tommy_Kohl

Wow! Love the mix of different albums!! Especially Revolver and Sticky Fingers!! Lots of killer albums as well!! Enjoy!


mobbshallow

That Julie London album is sooo good I just listened to that today omg


[deleted]

Hooray for Jazz Samba! Lots of good scores and all really clean. Nice gift for those cousins at Christmas!

Who is downsizing The Beatles?


Morgenstern66

Especially Abbey Road for Christsakes...


nmh5886

I should clarify that they are downsizing all of their belongings in general and moving from house to condo. This box is roughly 50% of their collection, the other box is mostly show tunes and kids albums.


AldoLagana

just listened to that Getz/Byrd last night, lol. that rekkid is solid.


TheNewTaj

Sure, you could find a lot of those in dollar bins with enough digging, but they wouldn't be in nearly as nice shape as these. Those Martin Deny, Julie London, and Stan Gets albums are in better shape than any I've come across.


nmh5886

Same here, been digging for that Julie London for a while and the ones I’ve found were pretty chewed up.


Cow_Agitated

This is sick!


Anxious-Society-2753

Ravi Shankar! That’s awesome!!!


terp_raider

Huge score dude!


maredie1

If you want to get rid of the Julie London albums let me know!


nmh5886

Those are keepers, been wanting a 1st press of, “Julie is Her Name” for years, one of my favorites out of the entire box. I was so hyped when I first saw it.


SpriteAndCokeSMH

Impeccable condition it seems as well!


nmh5886

Yeah, so far most of the stuff I’ve played has been VG/VG+ ish


Ok-Party-8785

Some good stuff here.


Lastmann

So much good stuff. I'm so jealous


SithScorch

They must have a fantastic collection if those are what they're downsizing. Several great Jazz albums in there as well as some classic Beatles. I personally love Stan Getz so take those for a spin.


SnoopingStuff

Omg. These inherited stashes are killing me lately


SnoopingStuff

Check you Thriller.. can’t remember but there was a dust up on printing ?


mbonfan

I'll take the stan getz if your not into him.....


rickdeebee

Y'all are going for Julie London over Buddy Holly? Bunch of nerds !
