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

some cheap folk compilation with bands like bellowhead on it, who i like

that’s it

- 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).

that is a belter of a tune, was listening to this the other day (off of a comp) and had to listen again twice

mulatu/ heliocentrics album
edan beauty and the beat + 3 12"s
ronnie scott's quintet solid gold (recorded round the corner from me in 1974.. for send in the clowns, i love that tune i know its a cheeser)
dangerdoom album
imagine IAM and spandex 12"s on hand on the plow
finders keepers comps: b-music drive in freak out etc, massiera comp and another one..?
twinkranes neither fizz nor feedback 7"

so, nothing much new new.

Dabrye & Mike Slott -Producer 2 e.p
Mulatu & Heliocentrics
Al Hudson&The Soul Partners -especially for you lp
Harold Melvin & the blue notes -black&blue lp
Lenny White - Attitude lp
Roy Ayers/wayne Henderson -heat of the beat

that is a belter of a tune, was listening to this the other day (off of a comp) and had to listen again twice

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...

[pause]







[/pause]

Sorry, just taking a moment to enjoy a thread on brownswood that's actually about music

Craig Smith & the Revenge - the Soul Part II - Delusions of Grandeur
Capracara - King of the Witches (Rub n Tug remix) - DFA
V/A - Nigeria 70 - the Definitive Story of 1970s Funky Lagos - Strut

Is that the ultra rare mono NY address Blue Note pressing - y'know, the one where they spelt his name 'Herbie HANDcock'?!

Nice stuff indeed, deffo need to pick up that Brenda Lee Eager 7'', corker.........that African spirits lp is a must as well.........

New Nathan Davies Lp on Jazzman (wicked)
Mulatu + Helio's (of course)

And this absolute belter



Bobby Hutcherson - San Francisco

Also a tasty little boogie 7" on Lotus - Wynd Chimes - Baby your da one

Gems no doubt

From the past month:

Space "Magic Fly" - Some of this sounds like the type of music you'd hear in a disco scene from "A Clockworlk Orange", more classical than disco. But the right at the end you have "Carry On, Turn Me On", a well-known but quality tune.

Seawind "Light The Light" - Slick and soulful late seventies vibes. You probably all know the big tune "Free" but "Hold On To Love" is also great.

Black Ivory "Hangin' Heavy" - Waited far to long before picking this up. "Mainline" should need no introduction. Quality Leroy Burgess and Patrick Adams vibes.

Debbie Jacobs "High On Your Love" - Amazing disco from 1980.

East Flatbush Project "Tried By 12" - Nice to find a copy of this after missing on it when it first came out. Classic hip hop from 1996 with one of my favourite uses of that Al Green beat.

Various "The LP Crashes Hard Drives" - One of those Record Store Day releases, comes with a nice, thick card sleeve, some great artwork, a nice fanzine and a Light In The Attic sampler CD. And more importantly tracks from quality lables such as Timmion, Jazzman, Daptone, Finders Keepers etc. It has that nice "Marcus Garvey" track from the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

There were a couple of others that I can't remember...

funny that, i got light of the world too, the LP though, after hearing 'dreams' on johns aries mix

erm... apart from that Hyperdub 12 by LD 'Traumatic Times' which just arrived i've just ordered these two:

Paul McCartney - the 'Waterfalls' 7 with 'Check My Machine' on the flip.

and

Just ordered a Fela Kuti 7 with Shakara on the flip, French pressing - purchase promped by Wrighty's playlist.

Is that the one with Hot Water on it? Seem to remember that as a stand out tune.

Went into a 2nd hand record store for the first time in ages (mostly online purchases nowadays) and picked up the following:

Al Jarreau: Jarreau: WEA 1983 - has Mornin' on it;
Junior: Mama Used to Say (American Remix): Mercury 1981 - more Brit soul than funk, but Guy Barker plays trumpet on it. Haven't heard the remix yet so I hope that they don't ruin the original;
Joe Jackson: Night and Day: A&M 1982 - for Steppin' Out basically;
Streetsounds Vol 5 - Freeez "I.O.U", Terri Wells "You Make It Heaven", Oliver Cheatham "Get Down Saturday Night" and the big one for me, Kenny Lynch "Half the Day's Gone".

Oh, and picked up Stanley Cowell's "Musa" LP on Strata East for his moving solo piano version of Equipoise.

Not got too much recently on the vinyl front due to a lack of funds, but did pick up the new Boxcutter lp, the new Onra and the new Bob Dylan

Also been getting into a group called the BEF (british electronic foundation) that a friend introduced me too, really interesting stuff from the 80's that was definitely ahead of it's time [from a former Human League member]

i spent megabucks with juno last week but all that springs to mind right now is i bought the re-edit of that's the kind of love i've got for you and the newest rahaan ones (including the version of hit n run he played at the start of his southport set. flashback swoon!), oh, and a cover version of movin' by ray camacho.

i have also spent megabucks with dj friendly on:
johnnie taylor - what about my love (7")
mastermind - happy music (for the instrumental)
and something on casablanca but i can't remember the name.

beans on toast until pay day.

Have you checked "Just Ain't Good Enough" off the same LP? Nice strings, chorus, big sound just like "what about my love".

I knew you weren't all bad nikey..

good price to, for now, but I'm so skint I'm selling not buying. Anyone war any Ron Carter albums?

There was a bit of diplomatic tension between me and Anything Goes but thankfully it didn't escalate into war.

i think i have and dismissed it
will revisit

best thing about having a copy of what about my love at long last is realising how ace that 'baby won't you change your mind' bit is at the end and giving this a proper listen to

LOLLY

that is one apalling typo, obviously I meant anyone want any Ron Carter albums

A ravers classic - love it to the bone. Good find, Benny!
