Maffy Falay/Sevda-Jazz I Sverige ‘72- Caprice 1972. Sevda is a group that was formed in 1971 by Maffy Falay, Okay Temiz, Gunnar Bergsten, and Ove Gustavsson. The group plays a fusion of Turkish music and Swedish jazz. Sevda won a readers poll in Orkester Journalen (Sweden’s jazz magazine) in late 1971 and played live at Swedish Radio TV-2 without a plan to make a record, but this material was released as the album you see here. #sevda #maffyfalay #okaytemiz #jazzfusion #vinylskivor
Iggy Pop-Lust for Life-RCA Victor 1977. Maybe I posted the US version once before, but here’s a UK copy that I just got. Great record of course, and David Bowie’s on piano. #iggypop #lustforlife #thepassenger #mathoffmansprobmx2 #blvinylskivor

Wally Badarou-Words of a Mountain-Island 1989. Found this one at a bookstore in Malmö. You never know what you’re gonna find out there. I’ve only had “Echoes” from 1984, and this one’s much different. Of course we’ve all heard Wally Badarou; (Grace Jones, M’s”Pop Muzik,” etc.) @wally_badarou_official is on Instagram! #wallybadarou #wordsofamountain #ambientmusic #electronicmusıc #vinylskivor
EGBA-Live at Montmartre-Sonet 1977. Recorded live in Copenhagen at Jazzhus Montmartre. The internationally renowned venue opened in 1959, changed location in the 70s, and has been reopened in its original location since 2010. Montmartre makes me think of my favorite Cecil Taylor record from 1962. #egba #cafemontmartre #jazzhusmontmartre #sonetrecords #vinylskivor
Sir Lord Baltimore-Kingdom Come-Mercury 1971. Found this over the weekend for about $8 dollars. It’s been a month in Sweden now, 😎 and it’s a slow process to get integrated into the system here. Waiting for everything in the mail, tax system, health system, ID cards, etc. Language courses, job search, new city, new country, etc. I’m just grabbing cheap records for now while I figure it out. #sirlordbaltimore #kingdomcome #mercuryrecords #unipak #vinylskivor
Charlie Mariano with the Chris Hinze Combination- Freedom/Intercord 1973. This is a record I’ve wanted forever, and never bought because I didn’t want to pay to ship it from Europe. I figured I would see it in the flesh maybe once in the last ten years, but it never showed up. Now I have it here in Europe. My vestax loves to drain batteries. #charliemariano #chrishinzecombination #lullabyfordewi #spiegelei #vinylskivor
Can- Ege Bamyasi-United Artists 1972. This is one of the handful of records I brought with me in my suitcase. One of the greatest LPs of all time! #can #egebamyasi #vitaminc #krautrock #vinylskivor
Iron Office- Metronome- 1976. Further exploration into the jazz/funk/fusion of this area. Recorded in Copenhagen, a stones throw away from Malmö. #ironoffice #allanbotschinsky #metronomerecords #jazzfunk #vinylskivor
CCS-Collective Consciousness Society-EMI/Columbia 1970. Kinda prog, kinda blues rock, kinda jazz rock.. this record was released in the US as “Whole Lotta Love.” I couldn’t say no to a nice glossy gatefold copy for about 8 bucks. #CCS #collectiveconsciousnesssociety #wholelottalove #rakrecords #vinylskivor
