Hola, 欢迎, добро пожаловать, Croeso, Welcome to To-Be-Announced!

Another chunk of time has passed on by, and I’ve done little to sell anything here. Or promote it in any manner at all. Vad tryst, eller hur!? But I am still buying like a mad man and my stock is, modestly said, insane. I have close to two-hundred items ripped, photo’ed and added to the shop’s database.

I really don’t know where to start, but I wanna start soon. I need to put the rubber to the road and get truckin’. It is a fool’s errand to wait for perfection and I am that fool. I am gonna try to set aside my foolishness as best I can and just start posting to instagram and work on my descriptive texts as I go. Excuse the placeholders, shorthand and other imperfections :)

What a slick bassist here. This is off an album called ‘Afrika’ and the group itself is called ‘Afrika’. Wouldn’t you know, they are actually South African, but I’d say this track is a good marker of some early 90s musicians dipping their toes into the fusion pool. The waters’er fine fellas, jump in :)

You're Fabulous 12"

Rick Dash & The Nue-Niles

S.D. Productions, U.S.A. 1988

VG+/VG+

Product #1206

€349.98

Rick Dash & The Nue-Niles released this, their only record, thirty-seven-years-ago in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The group split after feuding over gambling debts. Rick moved back to Philadelphia and the Nue-Niles to Miami and St. Augustine, Florida. Even if the group's time together totaled less than three months, they managed to write, record and master one crazy nice twelve-inch.

The person who buys this record (thank you!) gets two version of the "You're Fabulous" song; a regular and a 'Dance Mode' version. The later is a pathological production. It's got a good rap break, a sweet sax solo (actually good, I promise), one keyboard riff which verges on Tone Loc.

"Are you serious?" the girl asks? Mmm not joking. Another lyric; "Girl you look so good, all I wanna do is touch your womanhood". But this record is best know for the clarinet, keyboard, guitar song named "Loveseeker". Again this production is Unflinchingly Unorthodox and oozes a Unique Uneasy Florida charm.

Ain't it a shame someone bet the farm on the Pistons of Detroit over the Hollywood Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals? These guys should've stuck with it. There is another copy online, in similar condition, for a cool, breezy 500 United States Dollars, and looking at sales stats (sold 6x in over 7 years & maxing out at 300 €uros), that doesn't seem entirely outrageous.

Yesterday I was messing around with the shoppe and briefly had the 'Coming Soon' items revised to 'Available' and made 2.5 orders and sold 4 records. Thanks guys! It's a little sad to say 'goodbye' to these records, but definitely a good 'hello' to 2025 :)

September Rain CD

Free with any purchase:

Summer came and went. Wet as hell here in Western Sweden and so far the same is true for the fall. Above are some tracks I am especially into lately. There is plenty to love. I got two Finnish house tracks from Samuli Erdmann; one from a CD the other from a 12" that just arrived. There is a very addictive Robbie Ellington song off his untitled 12” too. Maybe my favorite is the “Unknown Song” I’ve added. All I’m willing to say atm is it is a promo 12” for a CD album still missing from Discogs, and only 100 copies were distributed. Enjoy!

Well, again; the above CD is free with any purchase. Click here to listen to some of the tracks on Soundcloud. Thanks!
