Weekend Finds September 30th-32nd
Late 70's + Roots Radics + Sylvan Morris Engineering + Harry J = 
Never really known who BUnny and Ricky were, but I'd wager it's BUnny Clark(e) and some dude witht he first name Ricky ("Davis" perhaps). Regardless, buttery Lee Perry reworking of JUnior Byles "Beat Down BAbylon" complete with Perry Dub.
Don't know if there's a bigger fan in the world. Sporty comes tough on the production/musical backing (which is likely a mish-mash of Jamaican and Maimi session musicians - quite possibly even the Oceanliners). A double, obviously.I wanna Go Outside 
Bomb of a track courtesy of Toronto dread.
Gorgeous soul cover (Four Tops?) with stellar Charmers production. A double.K in Canada.

awesome!
thats all i got in the last week
Caribbean Gay Torpedoes " tropical Fever" nice clean copy! mad funky!
Massive respect to Aschrock for sending me Ted Moses (yes, A****w, indeed a slam dunk!) and Yamb??. And thanks for the jazz mag as well. I haven't had time to read it yet, but that Strata-East article looks dope, and it's always interesting to check out old reviews. Also big ups to Woody for the Young-Holt and Niemen trades. Several doubles in the bundle again. GamleOle holla if you want that Alice Clark.
A lot of pleasant surprises from unsuspected angles this week, besides the Aschrock hookup. The cheesy looking 'La Bamba' by Super Funky Discotheque/S. Van Holmen was a kronerbin gamble, but turned out to be a bona fide facemelter. The 21 minute b-side funk jammy called 'Lord Funk' =
Salsoul Explosion was another cheapo cheeze surprise. This is one for the disco heads. 'Double Action' and 'Soul Machine' are dope, midtempo spanish disco with some incredible heavy-sounding mixing. The rhythm section sounds really chunky, with the bass nice and loud.
But right now it's all about Archie Shepp and that '69 live version of 'Yasmina'.
HOLY SHIT ---- I saw that wax for a quarter... totally slept on it.
The best of the rest:
Pixies -- surfer rosa (UK og)
Velvet Underground -- loaded
Pere Ubu -- dub housing
James Brown -- revolution of the mind
Mar Keys -- memphis experience
Legendary Rev. Gary Davis (on biograph)
Rev. Gary Davis -- 1935-1947 (on yazoo)
Mississippi Fred Mcdowell --delta blues
Emotions -- blind alley 45
and more you probably don't want to hear
