I've just returned from antiquing escapades with my lady friends and brought home several groovy treasures!
I picked up my first-ever Pharoah Sanders record - a mint first press of the legendary Karma LP featuring
"The Creator Has a Master Plan."
I also snagged original copies of Jimmy McGriff's deeply-funky Soul Sugar LP...
...and a newly traded in first press of The Jesus and Mary Chain's noise pop debut,
Psychocandy from 1985.

Before I left I also grabbed a clean copy of The Trouser Press Guide to 90s Rock - a mammoth oversize reference text of 2300 of the greatest punk, grunge, indie-pop, techno, noise, avant-garde, ska, hip-hop, new country, metal, roots, rock, folk, modern dance, and world music recordings from the decade of my high school years.
It's the first time I've considered buying a critical text on rock music (I usually prefer 20th century classical and jazz), but this seemed an excellent starting point.
AND as a nifty bonus, from the Devil's Library section of the antique mall I picked up a
(R)evolution: A Journal of 21st Century Thought zine from The Anarchists of Chicago in the early 1980s which features a piece by Aleister Crowley.
