November 10, dollar bin haul

Inspiral Carpets - This is how it feels. Remix [Mute UK 12"]. I quickly realized I love the single, but don't care to have the vocals removed, and lose the catchy chorus. Back to the bin with this one.

INXS - Shabooh Shoobah [Atco 1982, sealed]

The Kinks - The State of Confusion EP [Arista UK 1984]

Michael Legrand - After the Rain [Pablo 1983]

Slade - You Boyz Make Big Noize [RCA Germany 1987]

Graham Parker - Human Soul [BMG 1989 sealed]

Graham Parker - The Mona Lisa Sister [BMG 1988 sealed]

Marian McPartland Trio - S/T [Capitol hand-written, turqoise label]. This sounds tubey. The vinyl is surprisingly shiny and healthy for this era, and 1956 mono, intimate trio material.

Malvina Reynolds - Sings the Truth [Columbia 2eye stereo 1a/1a. $15] The theme song for the Showtime TV series Weeds uses her wonderful "Little Boxes".
