I'm pleased enough with my first attempts at ethno-funk that I'm going to continue to do it. So today I went out and picked up some ingredients I'd seen at the St Vinnie's near my house. They've got a big record section, and though a LOT of it is crap, I still find interesting stuff and I keep my eyes peeled for new arrivals. It really is a bit rare to find great records there but I like scoping out what there is an abundance of and try to think of ways to make use of it.
Today's finds were a smattering of possibly useful stuff that if it indeed proves useful I will pick up more of. What we have here is some Irish, Scottish, (presumably) Paraguayan, Argentinian, Italian and some general South American stuff. As far as the covers go, the "Starr" album is awesome. I love the accordion shot and the wicked grin on the guy's face. I especially like that record for its printing and manufacture qualities; it's made in Scotland and on some nice thick vinyl. I hope it's as good as it looks. If not I'll certainly try to enjoy it on it's own merits.
