Nimbus was a Jazz record label out of Santa Barbara in the 70s and 80s, famous (to me at least) for releasing some of Horace Tapscott's music. The cover was enough to pique my interest, but the label is what sealed the deal. The first was Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin's Je'Taime, and the second was this gem. I mainly struck out, but the two LP's I did find made it worth spending my lunch break getting my fingers dirty. I had actually been to Stockton for work a couple times before Andrew moved there, and took those opportunities to hit a couple of the Goodwill's that were in the same strip mall's where I was counting lightbulbs (and such). Until now! Andrew graciously agreed to take care of a couple thousand LP's for me while I roamed the rest of the country, and I'm sure he'd play a few for any of you if you found yourself anywhere near there (but not this one, I took it with me). It's not a terrible place, it's just not a destination, per se.
