Whats the last record you bought?

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.

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@Apiento - Is E2E4 withdrawn from DL purchases now?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

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.

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.
