Music Shit / Lost/stolen records: NYC
« on: November 26, 2008, 01:14:39 PM »
Jonathan Toubin is a great dude and a helluva a DJ. Keep yr eyes peeled.
hey everybody,
here's the deal - new york night train's mr. jonathan toubin left nearly 600 of his finest and most frequently used 45s in the trunk of a cab early saturday morning after his home sweet home gig. though the typical protocol is for the cab driver to give lost items to the cab company or police precinct, nothing has appeared as of tonight making the situation look fairly grim.
please forward the following to your friends who work at record stores on the east coast or get in touch with new york night train if you come across anything that matches the following description in classified sections, on ebay, etc.
one large grey carpeted flight case with three rows of 45s - inside is a unique mix of roughly 600 records about 1/3 of which are 60s soul (joe tex, ted taylor, rufus thomas, and lots of leser-knowns), another 1/3 is 60s rock (lots of domestic garage and frat originals, british invasion hits, norton pretty things, sonics, etc, freakbeat repros, etc.), the other 30% is primarily 1950s/1960s r&b (particularly my entire new orleans collection - ernie k-doe, jessie hill, earl king, etc - doo wop-py stuff, etc.), 1950s rockabilly and instrumental rock (link wray, etc.), and early r'n'r (little richard, bo diddley, et al), 1960s girl groups (marvelettes, velvelettes, crystals, etc.), 1970s glam (t-rex, slade, sweet, suzi quatro, etc.), early 1970s funk (tony alvon, highlighters, etc.), a bunch of james brown hits and obscurities (shhhhhh! for a while), 70s/early 1980s punk (black randy, damned, vibrators, plastic bertrand, etc.), and some newer stuff by the likes of jacuzzi boys, cheap time, king khan and the bbq, etc. there's even a smattering of boogaloos, 1960s ska jams, novelty numbers, etc. the only thing we have going for us at this point is that its extremely unlikely anyone would come across another assortment that even distantly resembles this - therefore it would be immediately identifiable - particularly if still in the homemade grey flight case.
mr. toubin is probably screwed but ya never know - please keep your eyes and ears opened and forward this on to anybody working at record stores, etc.
thanks for yr help,
ny night train
