This will only be a micropost, but the news is too amazing not to share.
A good friend tipped me off to a used record collection in town this morning so I took the chance and drove down to check it out. Mostly disco and jazz comps, nothing I needed, until I spotted one oddity among them.
This is the 1970 first US pressing of Parliament's debut album, Osmium on the Invictus label.
I have the Argentinian pic disc boot and got George Clinton to sign it for me, but never expected to find the original pressing, let alone in a garage.
I hadn't hit the ATM yet so I asked the owner how much cash I should take out.
He said, "just the one? Ahh, just take it. No charge."
First press PFunk debut for free. I can't believe it.
