The Mood Mosaic: The Hashish Party Vinyl LP

This album is truly awesome. It’s a collection of music appropriate for the sorts of parties referenced in the title–oh, yes.. Bob Crewe, Serge Gainsbourg, even Nelson Riddle gets a look in on this and it’s a long play trip-a-delic excursion perfect for fans of the funk, Easy Tempo sounds, and the types of groovy, happening tracks implied by that awesome cover.

Is that photo lifted from William Klein’s Who Are You, Polly Magoo? Or just inspired by it? Either way, just looking at this you get the idea. Check out the opening scene from the film below to see what I mean…that movie is HIGHLY recommended if you’re a fan of the music, fashion and general vibe of the era.

I do have, at the time of this writing, a sealed copy of this awesome record for sale. You can buy The Mood Mosiac: the Hashish Party at my Discogs shop, and don’t forget that every purchase goes directly to support the website.

Selling Vinyl on Turntabling

Turntabling does indeed sell vinyl records–rare vinyl, hard-to-find LPs, strange records, interesting and out-of-print albums, collector’s items and generally awesome records. A lot of extremely collectible records pass through my collection and wind up for sale at horror and sci-fi fan conventions, on the Turntabling Discogs.com shop, in my Etsy store (see the links in the righthand column) and elsewhere.

There are two reasons why people buy from Turntabling. One, I do pride myself on finding rare and obscure vinyl. I have interests that span a variety of genres including industrial music, electronic/experimental, dub, reggae, psych, spoken word, and new wave. I look for things I myself want to own, and often wind up with duplicates for one reason or another. One of those reasons is that I buy record collections (get in touch with me at jwallace242@gmail.com for more information).

But the most important thing you should know about Turntabling–the proceeds from all these record sales go to fund Vinyl Road Rage and the Turntabling site in general. When you buy from Turntabling, you’re supporting the site financially–that’s something that’s really important to me and I truly appreciate that support. Thank you to all those who buy vinyl and CDs from Turntabling on Etsy, Discogs, at the conventions and elsewhere. You are the reason why the site still exists!

Criminale: Rare Italian Soundtrack Music from the Flipper Vaults

This very limited edition CD/LP combo release features music from the Flipper library, and what a collection it is! Not a clunker in the bunch. This is Italian thriller/giallo/psycho funk music from some of Italy’s best film/television composers including Alessandro Alessandroni, Ugo Busoni, and the mighty Fabio Frizzi.

I strongly recommend this release on Penny Records. If you own even ONE Easy Tempo LP or are collecting Italian soundtracks, you owe it to yourself to check out both volumes of this series before they are gone for good.

This excerpt is only part of the journey you definitely should take if you’re into sound manipulation, experimental spoken word LPs and media theory. Truly amazing. The original version is quite rare, and the new edition features a gatefold sleeve, extra artwork and more. Recommended–get it while you can!!!
