So apparently Jon Saxe, the man, packed a bunch of synths into his backpack, sporting a lumberjack shirt and kaki shorts - and was seen walking on water later that afternoon. Check out "Golden Man" from his(very) endangered private album. This didn't show up in years until recently, when some freaky explorers were finally able to secure another specimen.

"Golden Man" by  Jon Saxe on RPS Recording USA, 1986 (VG+/VG) - Offer

"Night Owl" 7” Creepy Exotica by Boppy on MZA USA, 1970s probably

I will say smooth, I will say jazzy, hmmm what else comes to mind? Crisp and tropical... those kind of things.

Also really dig the electronic percussions and the phased scat vocals. Ah, there is furthermore some kind of italo-ish banger hiding here. Obviously I have replaced the cover to avoid too much hi-jacking - but what if I told you the actual sleeve artwork was even tastier?

Riviera Dreamer - shhh... shhh... - France, 1983

This is just bonkers. The ultimate version - some kind of tiki-tinged ketamin tropico cover-version of Donna Summer's epic classic. This record is invisible and probably one of the most in demand records you could possibly showcase. It’s not a bootleg or anything like that, it’s actually from the early 1980s and it’s from Asia. Cover is also nuts with golden foil embossing. This is for sure one of the craziest if not the best of all Donna Summer covers I’ve ever heard. 

EDIT: Not invisible after all 😂 I busted an extra spare 5 years after my original post : here it is for you worth one among you

Shh "Love To Love You Baby" - Japan Micropressing LP - Insanity EX-/VG+ - 340€

"Vagabondo Non Sono" By Aria - Private DIY Disco From Belgium  👋

Comes with the BLUE Caravanning Music sleeve. VG++ conditioned with a few light marks, but playing very nicely! A-side has a more energetic boogie/disco version of this. Both tunes really so, so good and this is as good as a one-of as it really never comes up. This is the copy from when I found this the first time.

"Whatever You Do" 12" By The C.V.Q. Band On Caravanning Music, Italy 1983 - 275€

Hard to believe this was recorded thirty years ago! Perfect club tune and possibly the best new-beat record out there? No idea how they came up with the title. This one delivers on all channels. Wicked, wobbling bass-lines, tribal chants, sick samples and a production as slick as YELLO! Careful some weird Hitler samples used on the flip if you're offended easily. One copy left (VG++!), no sleeve.

"My Brother Death" 12" by Big Bong On Dum Dum Austria, 1989 👋 SOLD

Stunning track that runs a solid 6 minutes in all glory. EX playback

God, it's a beautiful record. And you know it. And you don't have it. But you want it. And now you can have it. The only copy on the grid

"Hôtel Des Savannes" 7" by Voyage De Charme - Belgium 1980s - 115€

I mean... How lovely is this bizarre little paradise bird that flew into my ear a little while ago... You will be the only other person hearing it sing, since this record has gone completely extinct.

EDIT: 4years later, found one again :)

Congo - "Ma-Ma-Ma-Ohe" 7" - French Private Exotica 7" with Drum-Machine - VG+/VG(+) - 180€

Put your ears to the sand and listen to call of the asian mermaids. They sing rarely and only to those who speak the universal language of love. Sample was taken from the LP for sale. Could use a wood clean. Punch hole in the cover as with all his copied. Did someone say "all copies". This is the only one on the web...

"The Mermaid" LP By Yon Seokwon - Ambient Grail On Oasis South Korea, 1991  - VG+ Punchole - 270€

That mermaid just surfaced from nowhere. Totally unknown record.

Embrace three amazing versions on this 12" incl. a female extended mix that runs for all of the A-side and an edit and dub on the flip. This is just the way we love them. 2 folks have it, and I am the only one who has it in his wants on discogs 😂Wow!

Shhh “Sirene Coast House” 12" Micro-pressed in Brazil, 1990 👋 SOLD

Le Parfum Des Îles sticks out of an ocean of records from that time, with something that is so particularly sleazy, catchy and brilliantly assembled from her particular voice, tight drums to the wicked synths - this is the scent you've been waiting for.

"Le Parfum Des Îles" 7" By Marie Leonore On Challenge France, 1978 - 👋

The evening entertainment is about to start with what sounds like the Camping '82 Talent Show. What a lovely and snappy AOR vibe and this self-printed sleeve with a nice hand drawing crafted by one of the band member's girlfriends.

"In Another Time" Clip 7" By Free Feeling Band - Priv Finland, 1982 - 👋 SOLD

fantastic weirdo that juggles new wave vibes and reggae. Label is unknown with not even a handful of releases and most items with 0 owners - so you're sure to take your chakra to where nobody has landed before you.

Shhh “Disco Yo-ga" 7" Killer Fake Reggae on Private Label Italy, 197X 👋🏽 SOLD

You wish the mighty oracle could whisper the ID of this one into you ear, but they have surrendered to the purple fog of doom here. Oh well, been looking for a spare for years now, here it finally is. Less than 10 people on discogs claim ownership and let me tell you: Original sleeve artwork is a little marvel as well - think of some kind of hand drawn space ship leaving an island. Bit of noise in the quiet zones and some wear to the sleeve, but what choice do we have? Exactly.

The flipside ain't bad, for the new wave heads among you, leaning a little bit into Talking Head's material.

Shhh "Return To Milos" 7" Microlabel From New Jersey USA, ca 1984 VG(+) - 265€
