Hello Y'all, please join us this evening for Sunday Matinee at Lo-Fi for Music To Nurse a Hangover. These three records have had quite a journey before ever making it to me. Two are on the the WIRL label which stands for West Indies Record Label. I am a sucker for island cover versions and The Outfit's cover Bill Wither's "Use Me," is amazing. I can't find much info about Zebidee who cover James Brown's, "Sex Machine," which I could not pass up despite the rough condition. If you are familiar with the Telstars (The Telstars of Guyana) LP, this is one of the great tracks from it, “S.O.S.” Thanks to @the_record_bench for the hook-up. Sunday Matinee, January 1 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 And remember, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely.

Hello Y'all! Recently @CollectorScum and I went off to Allentown, Pennsylvania for the 44th Semi-Annual 45/78 RPM Music Expo. This could be the most amazing and overwhelming thing for a 7-inch collector to do. Last year I only made it to about 5 or 6 tables. This time I attempted to walk around first and look at the tables before digging. Needless to say, I only made it to 5 or 6 tables. First up was the always amazing Parker's Records out of Ohio. It was also great to finally meet Don in person. He recently went through an incredible medical procedure and it was great to hear he is recovering quickly. I found some long time wants and some that were completely unknown to me. Leading the unknowns is Randolph Bros. Plus "What It Is," parts one and two. Super heavy with female Funk vocal and breaks. Garage / Soul party by The Weekenders "Signed, Sealed, And Delivered," and The Midnighters "Lulu." Long time wants including Ruby Andrews "Let's Get a Groove Going On," The Embracers "Latin Blood," and Earl Lett's "Green Power." Please join us for Sunday Matinee, April 2 from 6PM to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 See you there! @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #GarageRock #NewWave #NoWave #ProgRock #HardRock #Funk45s #LatinSoul #Boogaloo #AfroBeat #Jazz45s #Instrumentals @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth #ParkersRecordsandComics #RandolphBrosPlus #RubyAndrews #TheEmbracers #EarlLett https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZbSoUMKWT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all! The boxes are filled with some of my favorite records of all time; notoriously a very long list. Why? Let's celebrate my birthday. Every collection tells the story of the collector and could be used as a biography. The bulk of most collections center around the impressionable years as explorations of genres, sounds, and performances were most concentrated. New discoveries will always come, shaping the collection is a lifelong project, and it is a constant source of joy. As I always say, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. For this month that could not be more true. When people ask what I collect it is always easier to say what I don't; classical and showtunes. But even then there are exceptions. Please join us for Sunday Patinee, February 26 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 See you there! @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #GarageRock #NewWave #NoWave #ProgRock #HardRock #Funk45s #LatinSoul #Boogaloo #Dub #AfroBeat #Jazz45s #Instrumentals @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCA-zmuW6k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all. While digging through the unsorted treasure chests at Revilla Grooves I pulled a copy of this 1968 Little Eva Harris - "Get Ready - Uptight" b/w "Mr. Everything" (Spring Records cat. SK704). And yes, this is the same Little Eva of "The Loco-Motion" fame. This amazing two-sider has a pounding, funky mash-up of "Get Ready" and "Uptight" on the A-side. Although Ms Harris' vocals are perfect the drumming on this track is incredible. On the B-side is powerful Soul song filled with emotional vocals, a spirited chorus, and the band sounds like it is on the edge of exploding. Sticking with Spring, I picked up two more two-siders. Richard Barbary - "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" b/w "Get Right" keeps the same late 60's Soul meets Funk groove going. One of my most hated beats in a song is a marching beat and they are smart enough to avoid it opting for a heavy 4/4 into a funk groove. The flip continues the head nodding feel with shared vocals with deeper compliment that launches into a celebratory chorus. Leroy Randolph - "(I Have Fallen Into) The Tender Trap" b/w "Good to the Last Drop" The A-side is a tender ballad with an almost Christmas feel from the piano and backing that sounds like the bass is singing HO HO HO. On the flip is where the power is. Opening with a very cool off beat break the song pounds into a Soul vocal over a moving groove that pauses at the choruses but eventually brings back the break. Mr Randolph's vocals rides above it all with a positive and exciting smile in his vocal. Please join us for Sunday Matinee, December 18 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 And remember, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #Funk45s #Jazz45s #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth #RevillaGrooves @RevillaGrooves #LittleEvaHarris #LittleEva #SpringRecords #RichardBarbary #LeroyRandolph https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUc7mdORUt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all. This Sunday Matinee at Lo-Fi the box is filled with a ton of new finds. When Revilla Grooves did the dollar sale, Darren said to me, “You don’t dig dollar bins right?” He said that when they were pulling out boxes for the dollar sale, they found about twenty unsorted, and never looked though boxes from various collections. More than half of what I chose I had never heard of. There were some long time wants, and some pretty obscure ones in there. Hot Coke "Make Love Last," opens with a few screams over a beat that drops into a great break with echoey handclaps. Despite being from 1975 it retains the rawness of songs from 72/73 with a great head nodding groove layered with horns, some incredible effected guitar playing, and harmonized vocals. Jo Ann Garrett - Its' No Secret is trippy, bizarre, and groovy as hell. It is also insanely creepy. G-Force - "Feel The Force" on Will Crittendon's SMI label. The track pulses, bangs, and gets spacey. This is the 3:47 7-inch version which I can not seem to find documented. The Ghostman Band - "Disco Shock" 1 and 2 on Akiba Records. A bizarre, but incredible Disco record. "Disco Shock 2," is uptempo and played by a live band. The drums and bass drive the song but the effected guitar, synths, SHOCK effect and chorus vocals make it a party. The Spoilers - "Turbo Rock" b/w "Sad Man's Land" (Turbo cat. TU 005) The US Turbo version is not the break heavy track released on UK London. Still a great record. Please join us for Sunday Matinee, December 18 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 And remember, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #Funk45s #Jazz45s #AllVinylAllTheTime #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth #G-Force #WillCrittendon #TheGhostmanBand #AkibaRecords #JoAnnGarrett #AndreWilliams #TheSpoilers #SadMansLand #TurboRock #RevillaGrooves @RevillaGrooves https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQGAlTszgt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For some reason I had never gone to Big Jim's. Unfortunately Jim passed away a few years back. Once inside I met @adambombx79 who is now running things. Adam's enthusiasm is worth a million dollars to the family that still own the shop. You can tell he and Jim had a great relationship and that no one else should be in charge. Very high up in the in the holy grail category for me are Stooges 7-inches. I only have the reissues. Easily my favorite song is "I Wanna Be Your Dog" so I happily grabbed this copy with the equally as great "1969" on the flip. There were a few Captain Beefheart's on the wall but two jumped out at me immediately; a UKK promo of one of the greatest Soul songs by a progressive artist, "Too Much Time" and a Captain Beefheart - Ry Cooder tour promo voiced by Frank Zappa. Yup, that is exactly what I said. I recently discussed my over 300 James Brown 7-inches but one has remained far more elusive than most, "Chonnie On Chon." This early James R&B blast was worth the wait in this condition. I ignored the 7-inches of one of my earliest obsessions KISS so getting copies now is more difficult than I imagined. "Flaming Youth" b/w "God of Thunder" with the incredible pic sleeve has been at the top. I am a sucker for Rolling Stones picture sleeves and this mono French one with its very proper portrait did the trick. A UK Johnny Kidd and the Pirates has been on my list forever. This slightly better than VG copy will do fine. Come hear these and a whole bunch more at Sunday Matinee, November 20, from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ. And remember, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #Funk45s #Jazz45s #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth #IggyPopandtheStooges #TheStooges #CaptainBeefheartandtheMagicBand #CaptainBeefheart #RyCooder #FrankZappa #JamesBrown #KISS #TheRollingStones #johnnykiddandthepirates https://www.instagram.com/p/ClMLplVO5Z8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all. Want lists and holy grails are what keep us digging. The possibility of finding an unknown is what drives us. It is insane to look at a collection that contains all of those. This is the third trip to Princeton for a Punk collection since the incredible one they got in over the summer. John and Rob are amazing so I love going there. This collection was focused on DC and the fact that most of these were unplayed is incredible. The Teen Idles is a “second” since it is the paper cover not the heavier one. The SOA is a third (w/ Black Flag bars and no band name on label). The Bad Brains is an upgrade to a stamped sleeve. I already have a second, but with no stamp which is now in the sales box. I had never heard of The Shirkers. They are a DC band on Limp. I would have listened to it because of the titles but I was with @CollectorScum and he basically handed it to me and said, you need that. It is really fucking good. Another long time want, by one of the most influential bands on me as a listener and musician, "The Modern Dance" by Pere Ubu. There were a few Pagans 7-inches but I am only looking for two...now I am only looking for one. Come hear these and a whole bunch more at Sunday Matinee, November 20, from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ. And remember, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #Funk45s #Jazz45s #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth @princeton_record_exchange #TeenIdles #SOA #DischordRecords #LimpRecords #PereUbu #BadBrains #Pagans #TheShirkers #ChrisStameyAndThedBs #TheModulators https://www.instagram.com/p/ClH7fBvOZxQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all, initially I was just going to pepper the set with Soundtrack recordings for this Sunday Matinee at Lo-Fi, but once I started digging deeper, by and deeper I ended up filling the entire box. Amazingly this is only about two-thirds of the soundtrack 7-inches I have. I realized that many of the Shaft and Superfly records are not really straight covers plus all the related recordings so I am bringing those with me too. This is going to be fun. INSTRUMENTALS • JAZZ • FUNK • SOUL • R&B • BLUES • MODERN SOUL • HIP HOP • PUNK • NEW WAVE • HARDCORE • AFRICAN • LATIN • BRAZILIAN • JAMAICAN • INDIAN • SURF • CAR TUNES • HARD ROCK • PROG ROCK • POWER POP • INDY ROCK • NOVELTY • AND MORE....

Hello Y'all, For this Sunday Matinee at Lo-Fi I dug deep into the boxes of soundtracks on 45. I have always been intrigued by the relationship of audio and visuals. There are so many memorable scenes in movies and in most cases they can not be separated from the soundtrack. Lalo Schifrin's scores for Mission Impossible, Bullitt, Enter the Dragon, and the Dirty Harry series just to name just a few. Whether it is a brilliant composer or a performer at the right place at the right time soundtracks are as essential as the visuals. Rose Royce's divine moment with their essential Car Wash soundtrack is a great example. I love when there are records from the most unlikely sources and Les Baxter's (break) heavy songs for the Biker film Hell's Belles" do not disappoint. The 7-inch is perfect but if only Hogin' Machine was on my favorite format. Recently there have been a few well needed releases of, "Why wasn't that on 45." Easily one of the best soundtracks ever is Roy Ayers' Coffy but for some reason there was never a 7-inch issued. Dynamite Cuts changes all of that with a two record gatefold 45. Artists form every genre of music have either composed an entire soundtrack or had a song featured in a movie or on the soundtrack. Sometimes two of your favorite bands end up on the opposite sides of the single release from a movie - Mudhoney back with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic for the PCU single release. Please join us for Sunday Matinee, September 18 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 And remeber, if you don't like what you hear, wait a few minutes and we will be somewhere else entirely. @primitivesoundsystem #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #VinylRules #Punk45s #Funk45s #Jazz45s #AllVinylAllTheTime #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #PinballDJBooth #OST #SoundtracksOn45 #Soundtrack #SoundtrackMusic #MovieSoundtrack https://www.instagram.com/p/CimGktWsShC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Y'all - For this Sunday Matinee it's Star Time! I found myself listening through the over three hundred James Brown and related 7-inches I own. I pulled some of my favorites, some new acquisitions, and some of the oddball related records including James Brown productions and cover versions. My obsession with James Brown's music started very early on in my music education, listening, and collecting. How many artists are responsible for creating a genre? Not only did he help create the genre but became the artist that inspired others to play and the high bar that they tried to achieve. "Introducing, ladies and gentlemen, the young man that's had over 35 soul classics. Among these classics are tunes that will never die, tunes like, "Try Me," "Out of Sight," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "I Feel Good," like a "Sex Machine," because you're "Super Bad," "Get Up, Get Into It, and Get Involved!" Because you've got "Soul Power!" Introducing the world's greatest entertainer, Mr. Dynamite, the amazing Mr. Please, Please himself, the hardest working man in show business... Ladies and gentlemen, the star of our show, James Brown!"
