and in related Light Of The World news... Kenny Wellington now works as a teacher in the same school as Mrs Ford

I asked her to take in the LOTW albums for him to sign.

That isn't going to happen.

After being hit for six watching that Moe Koffman clip someone stuck up last week, simply had to track it down and found a right old corker of a compilation. Double vinyl bizness. Not too familar with the other tracks tho but can't wait to get it home and give some it welly

the sound of wonder—pakistani bollywood pop extravaganza
martyn – great lengths / big girth
some cheap folk compilation with bands like bellowhead on it, who i like

that’s it

Recently bought stuff:

- Hypnotic Brass Ensemble 10" (with Alyo that smashed the dancefloor on saturday)
- Tour Eiffel - Jazz A Gogo 7"
- El Michels Affair - Walk On By a Tribute to Black Moses
- The new Mukatsuku 12" with some Soil and Pimp on it
- Soundspecies 12"

All killer no filler!!

In the last two weeks I've picked up:

Doubles of a really rare Mizell production (with Harvey Mason etc) on 45. Margie Evans - yes, you probably missed that - she was a backing singer on 'Places & Spaces' and brought out one 45 that was produced by Fonce Mizell. I'm planning to offer the spare for sale on here.

Doubles of Hutson S/T LP - I'm planning to offer the spare for sale here too, plus a reissue.

Betty Davis S/T LP on Just Sunshine

Starfire - Dancing & Singing For You LP

An assortment of boogie 12"s direct from the musician J.D. Hall inc I Wanna Get Into You. I've also got the 45 of that song, so I'll offer one of the 7", 12" for sale on here once I've decided which mix I want to keep hold of. Popsike it - somebody paid over $600 for that 45!

Arif Mardin - Journeys LP

Andre Ceccarelli - Ceccarelli LP

Brenda Lee Eager - When I'm With You 45 (Another relatively unknown Mizell Bros gem)

Family Brown - Imaginary World LP

Roy Ayers - Silver Vibrations LP on Uno Melodic UK - this one's great, correct me if I'm wrong but this is the only place to pick up a 7min version of 'Chicago' right?

(I've also sold a few joints - otherwise buying this lot would be a bit outrageous).

Hi mate, yes it's great - don't know why it wasn't better known, but hey - most of the music I buy seems to be like that! If you're after one there's one on UK ebay right now...
