It was well worth the 15$ he was asking. Note the curious label variant (lower left) compared to my old copy

My crown jewel garage sale find this weekend is this 1975 Eddie Palmieri LP seemingly legit autographed by the artist. Got it from a downsizing drummer. A somewhat obscure album I've only seen once before (thus this is a significant upgrade). 1of2 #musicsky#jazzsky#eddiepalmieri#music#latinjazz

No. Thanks for the pointer!

It is produced by Elliot Mazer who later worked with Neil Young & Linda Rondstadt. This may be one of his earliest productions, if the wiki is accurate (RVG engineered).

Another fun bargain find today at Groove Merchant Records is this well loved but still enjoyable 1962 Dave Pike LP. Jimmy Raney pn guitar, Ray Baretto on Congas, Tommy Flannagan on piano, etc. Has a rollercoaster warp that doesn't impact play (may take it to be flattened). 1of2 #jazzsky#musicsky

Pretty sure this is my first 10-inch on Dizzy Gillespie's Dee Gee label. Shelly Manne Septet circa 1952. A fun score at Groove Merchant today. Perhaps one of the earliest proto psychedelic cover designs too! #jazzsky#musicsky#jazz#music#shellymanne#dizzgillespie

As always, his crossroads of science, humanity and humility is endearing. His approach to questioning organized religion and that crossroads with science is subtle and well done. A fine fun read. 3of3
