Another Big Dig Rochester 2023 w/  

Love that Josef K. Still need to dig into that Garage zine book

creaky floors and ceilings that is digging

The basement was overwhelming, where the heck do you go? You buy all those albums that I would bypass. Thanks for doing a shorter video than Dave lol. I hope he put some stuff in your hands.

Nice dig indeed with plenty of new interesting finds. That John Surman is one I have been looking for for a while. Good score. Terry Plumeri is great indeed. It's practically an ECM release. Josef K and Lo Yo Yo Stuff are both up my alley big time. I have the complete Josef K on CD but that record is the one to get. Between and Bismallah Khan are also big faves. Nice stack of records. And Mr Chris Cole is a saint and a true brother. I hope he is ok.

That Josef K is a classic. I have a UK original I got at the time in my teens, My copy has been played to death though

Dom, some nice pickups there, and that basement, wow! You really need time to go thru all that, but for sure a fun time. The ECM albums are pretty common around here, but I can't say that I have seen that one out in the wild. Cool VCLT there and a nice book. Cheers

Most strata east go down pretty easy. Mboom and the brother ah maybe the most difficult if I think about it quickly. I believe Clifford Jordan in this world is also part of dolphy series.

I just ran into, and picked up that Sylvian 12" as well. The only Gunter Hampel stuff I have is 2 records with Marion Brown, need to get into him some more.

Dom, your guided tour was nice, Brandon and Joe, down to business, talking about Peter Brotzmann, while Dave does his slapstick comedy routine. Gunter Hampel was married to Jeanne Lee. The albums on Birth were available on Mail Order, I never saw them in shops, not even the basement. The New Albion label was an essential label for me, I would grab anything from them, Carl Stone, Lou Harrison, Alvin Curran, Terry Riley... The Wergo label was another endless source of ''new'' modern classical music, plus other off- beat recordings! The ''Kekeland'' album by Brigitte Fontaine from 2001 features a song with Sonic Youth and a song with Archie Shepp, I bought the cd for 99 cents.

The Wizard running the Cogs at Archive is the man.

One day I will try to convince you guys to go just a wee bit further north and come digging in Toronto, the exchange rate alone would make it worth while as long as you don’t mind Cdn pressings

I have about sixteen Gunter Hampel albums & Jeanne Lee is on most them, no doubt due to them being married back then. Oasis on the Horo label is a good one as it is two records of just the two of them.

That David Sylvian 12" can be good, if played at wrong speed.

The basement footage lol lol lol lol

Areski, early to mid 70's Henderson, Simon Simon .....we have common ground and time with the colossus of sociolinguistic savvy, VC Amba Dave, the diggers dream is manifested! Sylvian, polarising musician, he has his fans, I've adopted many decades of ambiguity towards his opus.

Josef K informed the direction of my future musical preferences in the 1980s through to the early 90s, without them I would've understood Big Flame or Eton Crop...and they're completely entangled with my love for the June Brides...and. without them I probably would've begun listening to other musical forms which had a brass section.

Crikey, that basement must be under some strain.

I've been waiting for someone to grab that Josef K record! It's a favorite of mine and I get a little sad every time I dig through those boxes and see it's still there. Such a brilliant record!

Looks like some great finds; nothing better than having a full day to dedicate to the hunt. And having some friends along to share the experience with makes it even better. Years ago there was a little known shop in Detroit (Dearborn) with a basement stacked with records in no particular order. Just thousands of random records. A fun but sometimes frustrating way to hunt. There were gems to be found but they weren’t given up easily. Lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 🍻

Cecil Payne killer album his tone is so addictive those Strat East albums are a must they offer so many different levels of jazz . That meet up look joyous I would have lost my mind in that basement . Nice David Sylvian 12” love his work I was so glad I caught him live on Everything and Nothing tour one day I’ll get around to showing his records I have. Dom I always love your episode have a great weekend.
