  • What Have I Got Now, What Good Am I Without You, My Young Misery, The Pain Gets A Little Deeper (recorded at 14...), Gotta Draw The Line... i may be hyperbolic sometimes but some of his recordings were really this guy needs a proper compilation.…
  • All I can say is TOP WORK guys ! Looking forward to this immensely.... have you guys ever hooked up with the UK's don of reggae documentation - Steve Barrow?
  • There was a vinyl pressing in mid 90s - not gatefold - but the sound quality is fine. $300 is way over the odds for an OG. Should be around half that - tops. Think the 7"s are hard to find as there's not been so much a market for them as there ha…
  • But otherwise, I wasn't feeling the lets-play-a-bit-of-every-genre approach, ) not seen the show yet - might try to catch one of the UK shows coming up but, surely this "every genre"approach is the whole point of hiphop - i.e to take bits of music …
  • I'm always a sucka for Aretha's version of Eleanor Rigby.... edit - and don't forget Charles Kynard's take on Something with Pretty Purdie in full flight !
  • Basically anything on PRESTIGE - 1964-72. Even MORE soul-jazz than BlueNote which covered more bases of "jazz" - Prestige took the formula develeped in lat 50s / early 60s Blue Note of the down-home sound and funky blues - and ran with it for years…
  • whatabout CCS cream of the Brit jazz musicians playing ROCK
  • [quote As far as 'old timers' go - Prince Buster put on an exciting and tight show this past fall, one of the best live shows, no matter the performer's age. Agreed on that - Buster killed it in Edinburgh the other week. His banking band were very…
  • If you like that then you also need to lookout for the "Helio" LP from 74/5 Again - Azimuth are the backing band for this singer - and it has that same sound as their S/T debut. loads of fat basslines and great samba funk grooves. Don't think thi…
  • http://www.vinylcarvers.com/ Has anybody tried this? Seems like a fun way to do something really random. I know it doesn't make as much sense with Microwave these days, but fun for releasing one copy of something. I just wonder what they sound lik…
  • If you just need a copy to play out - Deans Rudland's just put out a nice 12" on Fania. It's got the OG version of Hippy Skippy plus some re-edits and beats by the likes of DJ Format. Nice and loud pressing ! BTW The vocal version on Speed is I'll…
  • Also, the Batman tv show didn't start until 1966, so the Bobby Valentin had to be 1966 at least. Thanks for clarifying the fact - that's what i thought. I couldn't really see a two year gap between "Young Man..." and "Bad Breath". BB was 67.
  • My guess is that the actual name came about by way of a description of the music. In the same way that the term "reggae" or "ska" was originally used to describe the relevant guitar sound in that type of music - I reckon "boogaloo" describes the re…
  • I don't think there's one single rule on how to put together a "mix". It very much depends on what music you are playing as to the technical aspect of the mix. Beatmatching is good way - but careful , it can be boring if it's all the same tempo …
  • Pow Wow on the LP is a slightly longer version (-just got more intro) - than the 45 There is another decent boogaloo cut on the LP - almost up to the standard of PW/C&B - the rest is OK latin but no killer. If you have the 45 already then don'…
  • They were playing poker for what seemed like an hour. As we've already pointed out, texas hold 'em may not be as Bondian as chemin de fer, but considering that the book was entirely centered around a card game, this shouldn't come as any big sh…
  • This guy must be " avin a laff" or he's never heard much "library" music. There's bloody tonnes of the stuff that you can play out the whole tracks in a club - it stands up to any other stuff if you are playing stuff from that late 60s - early 70s…
  • you're a bunch of negative Normans. it was amazing. maybe this would only appeal to those who went to the show? and it sounded pretty fucking good from where i was sitting. any heads on here who were there? peace b This was an amazing gig - w…
  • Tax on $33k a year is 20%, not 33%. Income Tax is 22% but dont forget NI at, 9% or whatever = 31% or so total "tax".
