St. Clair West

Went thrifting with Lizzy up to the Goodwill on St. Clair West about a month ago...
We spent quite a while digging through the vinyl and found a few gems. Found a copy of Donna Summer's 1976 LP A Love Trilogy. Wicked Giorgio Moroder production. Got a copy of a Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam record from 89 called Straight to the Sky. Not as good as the earlier stuff but still satisfying to find a vintage freestyle record for 50 cents that hipster DJs are currently spending a lot of money on at Play De and other places online.
One of the big finds was the 12" of Techtronic's Pump up the Jam. Rinsed that out at the Cat's Eye Halloween party, it was one of the biggest tunes of the night. The kids are going crazy for the early 90s dance stuff these days.
Also got a second copy of Zepellin's album In Through the Out Door. A not so great late career Zep release. But my reason for grabbing it was to juggle the track Fool in the Rain. Its been a really fun track to play around with in the last few weeks - rockin the doubles it sounds pretty wicked.

Its all about going to the out of the way thrift stores. Making the effort to go off the beaten path leads to rewarding finds. For example, back in the spring I was staying with my Grandparents for a few days and we went down to the Salvation Army in Richmond Hill. I got the Sesame Street Fever record. Which has some wicked disco songs on it, namely the C is for Cookie disco version with Robin Gibb. The "C is for cookie, thats good enough for me" chorus gets everybody up and they've never heard it like this before. One of those instantly recognizable things from our childhood. First time I played it was at Paul and Tyrone's Loft party back in May and it was a huge hit with the floor.
