  • oh thank god (saw this a few years ago - re blue waffle). innocence restored. until... 2 cups
  • Staxwax, no love for Resurrection? I can do without everything else Common ever did, but that LP is top ten list. No I.D's production is just impeccable. b/w Why is this surprising? Is there anyone here who likes (I mean REALLY likes) …
  • Devilled. But fuck that for a game of [strong]soldiers[/strong], they're too fiddly for breakfast. Scrambled when I can be arsed, boiled when I can't. i see what you did there. eggs are glorious in all forms (minus da…
  • I have a cover for The Pat Britt Quintet 'Live From San Francisco' on Crestview if anyone needs it. VG+, nice shape but some discolouration along the open edge. Record is beat and warped, killing the first 2 tracks on each side.
  • Hey guys, yes, we actually are coming back to the UK for a handful of shows in between a busy festival routing here stateside.I will post up the run shortly, but it looks like it's only going to be EU. [strong]Sctoland was on the list for a second b…
  • they're playing Liverpool and Leeds too, hope they make it up to Scotland again.
  • Yep, I've had it too, 7-8 weeks worth, but recovered now. There has been some really nasty bug going round this winter. Lost my whole xmas and new year holiday to the sucker, went back to work for a couple of weeks in Jan, but it was futile. Could b…
  • listening to Harold Land - Xocia's Dance (Muse 1982) right now and reminded of this thread. great LP, Harold had an amazing tone. so much good jazz in the 80's and I don't own nearly enough
  • milliondollars said:stratasphere said:Treehouse said: Pretty sure its an og. I looked up the old "Spot the Reissue" thread but still not 100%. Yellowed cardboard, 1101 on vinyl 1102 on cover, yellowed innersleeve, paste on back cover,…

  • Took a punt on a sealed Sphere 'Inside Ourselves' last year (thanks to Soulstrut for the 'cheap b.i.n' thread!). Seller had half a dozen copies and said they might be slightly warped, but the thing was perfectly fine. Definitely worthy of a FTW. Alt…
  • RIP Don. I spent a long time looking for 'If there's a will...' after Large Professor sampled it for Akinyele.
  • This is a depressing subject. Ok my immediate surroundings are nice and quiet, right in the middle of the city, fairly good local food and drink options and I'm lucky to be able to afford it. However, the loss of inner city green space, parks and pl…
  • I need some chukkas, but damn if the quality of the big names hasn't gone down the swanee. Current pair have lasted less than a year, heels worn through and I don't even scuff when I walk. Might have to buy actual work boots with steely toes …
  • oh no, oh dear, no. Gravediggaz, yes agreed it's top heavy, but this is an album, a proper album that needs listening all the way through. take away the concept and the creativity and the whole thing goes to pot
  • always felt CNN - War Report would be a great candidate for this treatment. that intro beat and then 5-6 great tunes. the rest is frustrating...
  • what Parallax said. 'I've Known Rivers' is one of my favourite songs of all time. I need to give Singerella a proper listen...
  • Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening I don't feel like this is $60 worth of raer (maybe it is?), but obviously sampled to death so all the spotters have it on their lists. Never see it though. I just want it because it's sublime all the way through.

  • Duderonomy said:Rishan said: Where'd you get pomelo juice? I'm living the dream, ahem, teaching English in Barcelona. Pomelo (w/ rum) is my new religion. Ah ok, thought you were going to say 'juice my own' :pasue: which would ha…

  • In a particularly dark mood one winter's day a few years ago, and not really knowing The Smith's catalogue, I walked into a record shop and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now came on. You know those raer times when a song just fucking hits you, and not …
  • the square root of fuck all. Eggs need to go in the fridge? Or only in warm climes? chilli sauce (various) ketchup brown sauce (the kind you have on fish and chips - don't know what its constituents are) orange marmalade so…
  • Kinda agree with Yanow, but the record is still amazing. Tauhid Karma Elevation Journey Heart is a Melody As one of the greatest living musicians, why has this man's discography not been given the proper, coherent reissue t…
  • vinegar said:my couch is confortable. But thank you to worry about my ass. Amir comes here to ask for money. I just explain him why i won't give him any, which is also a way to make him understand why a potential customer don't by his rele…
  • vinegar said:Amir, i don't doubt that you put a lot of passion into this project but if you need to find funds after only 3 releases it's mabe time to question yourself a little bit... And if so many collectors around the world like dou…
  • parallax said:Classy response, Amir. You're obviously in it for the music and I wish you success. just bought my copy of Maulawi on the horrible blue vinyl and looking forward to being pissed off when it arrivesÔǪ..
  • damn, sad news. power of soul is an incredible record
  • I don't normally pre-order, but I would consider it for a bloke like Amir and the fact that I think this project is great. I am confused though, as previously the Maulawi was sold out, but now it's not? and Battyboy, if you find this m…
  • Inner Space. Tones for Joan's Bones is just the definition of my sound will need to remind myself what the other tracks on Inner Space are like, but assuming I can only take one lp (albeit a double), I will take appropriate advantage
  • hey Amir, What's the latest on this? Hope you're not dealing with too much drama... thanks!
