Dammit, I’m broke! When I came home from Morocco last week, my mailbox bulged with bills and yesterday, my car suddenly broke down! However, before the end of the year, I hope to purchase the following albums (fortunately, my wife doesn’t read this blog):

Searching for Odell Harris – ODELL HARRIS (Broke & Hungry CD)

The Mystic World of AUGUSTUS PABLO: The Rockers Story (Shanachie 4CD + DVD)

ACHILI FUNK: GYPSY SOUL 1969-1979 (Love Monk CD)

ESOTERIC MODAL AND DEEP JAZZ FROM THE UNDERGROUND 1968-1977 (Jazzman Records CD)

Guitar Boy Superstar 1970-76 – SIR VICTOR UWAIFO (Soundway 2LP)

Sounds From A Bygone Era Vol.5 – GABY LUNCA (Asphalt Tango CD)

GIVE ME LOVE: SONGS OF THE BROKENHEARTED-BAGHDAD 1925-29 (Honest Jon’s CD)

Act Naturally: The BUCK OWENS Recordings 1953-1964 (Bear Family 5CD)

Double Negative – BLACK TIME (In The Red LP)

The Sistrum – FACTUMS (Sacred Bones LP)

HIGHLIFE TIME: NIGERIAN & GHANAIAN SOUNDS FROM THE 60’S AND EARLY 70’S (Vampisoul 2
LP)

PAPRIKAZZ FEL! HUNGARIAN ROCKSCENE 1965-1971 (Grey Past 2LP)

Halloween Recorded Live 1979-81 – ROKY ERICKSON & THE EXPLOSIVES (Norton Records 2LP)

Double Sunrise Over Neptune – WILLIAM PARKER (Aum Fidelity CD)

REMBETIKA 3: VASSILIS TSITSANIS (JSP 5CD)

Classic Early Sides 1952-1957 – IKE TURNER (JSP 2D)

Morocco was great, especially the medina (old city) of Fes, the camel ride + sleep under the stars in the Sahara, the day hikes in the Dades Valley and Ourika valley. Casablanca & Essaouira were 2 anticlimaxes. The first because there was absolutely nothing to see and the second because this once beautiful coastal town has become a characterless tourist trap. But the biggest letdown was how the Moroccans ruin their country by dumping their garbage everywhere. Even in remote mountain villages, they throw all garbage on the ground while the desert like countryside is littered with black plastic bags. Shocking! I will post a travel account on my site in the near future.

I received that William Parker CD last week. It's massive, totally overwhelming. Also ordered Ware's "Corridors & Parallels", which you recommended, and i've almost played it too bits. Great, great album, so thanks for the tip. I gotta order more from AUM soon.
Good luck with the car (and welcome back)!
