Nice. Is that an OG then? I’ve made do with the repress so far.
I’m going to say hopefully with 6 but that Tony Esposito and Arthur Russell records are calling my name.
Yeh, i had kinda given up on ever getting one but it popped up for a decent price. Still not cheap but less than normal and got few other bits from the same guy to trick myself into thinking it was a good deal.
Replacing a few early 90s bits I’ve completely trashed down the years
Soichi comp =
These had all been waiting to collect at Phonica & havent managed to get there for a while
Despite it must be over £50 just a paper bag ( I suppose the law) & didnt even say thankyou when handed over
Wished Id got E2E4 off BC but didnt know the 2nd set were going on it
None of these links are working for me. It’s like they’re just photos of records.
The paper bag thing I still find weird…
@Apiento - Is E2E4 withdrawn from DL purchases now?
Cant see on TP or BC
Id purposely avoided playing until I got my vinyl copy
I think its the plastic bag law bug they could get sturdier paper ones
I also couldnt buy one as no cash & £5 min spend on card
Just felt very rude allround
Hey. We can’t sell the downloads. Vinyl only. If you bought the download message me here!!
Not the last last record I bought, but I’m only sitting down listening to it now. Very good if you like some sort of weird dancehall, new age… Something.
Nice. Like this.
11 years quit and I still use that “No problem, I’ve got this extra pocket money now” argument/rationale… heh.
Recent/Decent:
Just arrived in the post.
The Prince Fatty mix is pure fire, the rest of the remixes are, as remix EP’s go, kinda forgettable. So it goes.
I loved Mano Negra back in the day, and later, there was a period where Manu Chao’s “Clandestino” album seemed to be everywhere. I was living and working on Commercial Drive, Vancouver’s hippie/granola/activist mecca at the time and it was the soundtrack: coming out of cafes, vegan eateries, book stores, hemp emporiums. How do you make a room full of college-age hippies happy? Put on “Clandestino”. Every time I hear anything from that album, I smell Nag Champa and weed. It got totally rinsed out, but down the line, reappraisal happened and the album became a perennial summertime favorite.
This single flew under my radar til I stumbled on it on WFMU, and the rest is history.
This arrived in the post too:
I may be dating myself here, but I bought the original 12” single when it came out. Being 14 or so, I thought Max Headroom was way cool. (C-C-C-Catch the Wave! Coke!) I already owned “Beat Box” and especially loved “Close to the Edit” - I still get giddy whenever I see the oddball video by esteemed experimental filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński. Chainsaws! Sledgehammers! Piano torture!
Years passed and I eventually saw this tune as a throwaway novelty track to cash in on a fad. Think: Fido Dido. Spuds Mackenzie. “Where’s the Beef?” etc
I heard the album version years later and realized that beneath the talk, it’s a really funky groove. Stumbled on this 12 inch, a redux minus Headroom’s annoying ch-ch-ch-chatter with some extra punchy kicks and percs underneath. It does the job, which is a lot more you could ask for most extended dance remixes of songs from the period.
Anyone buying from Juno, 10% off with the code VINYL09 until tomorrow night.
Allright, so i havent gotten it yet. But just ordered this from HHV:
Im terrible intrigued by his music. Its deep but not academic. If that makes sense.
Just listening to mine that turned up today, sounds so good.
