Thanks, completely missed these. Great tracks and like you say that Claussell mix is incredible
Yeah it did seem to have a particularly low key release, in no way doing justice to the quality of the tracks 
Breached the banning order and paid for the ALFOS comp.

“Written by Americana maverick Oldham, the title track of His Hands will go down as one of the bravest, most chilling performances of Candi’s career. Asked by Lambchop producer Mark Nevers to write a song for the album, Oldham penned a distillation of Staton’s traumatic experiences as an abused and terrified wife.
“It’s kind of a gospel song and it’s kind of not,” says Staton. “It ends up pointing you to the Redeemer, but it starts out telling you about a normal, natural man and what he would do to you in an abusive situation. I enjoyed singing that because it’s so much like my life. I’ve lived through every line of that song.” When Nevers played the finished version to him over the phone, Candi’s performance reduced Oldham to tears.“

Not strictly something I’ve bought, as I already had a copy - but seeing on Instagram that the Studio album is getting re-released.
Big with DJH crew at the time, and the 12 with Todd Terje remix. Wasn’t really my bag but it grew on me.
Anyone getting the re-issue?

Never got in on vinyl but got it on cd for buttons a few years ago. Used to have the terje 12” which I can remember playing at low life a couple of times. I think I sold it to @lazlo72!

That Studio album is a beauty though

That’s it
depression plus nostalgia plus a lil’ extra cash in the paypal account often results in more cheap records to add to the pile. here’s the latest batch:
https://www.discogs.com/release/82453-A-Man-Called-Adam-Love-Come-Down
mid-period AMCA with help from the DiY folks and charles webster. classy stuff.
https://www.discogs.com/release/42587-400-Blows-Movin
i love it when former industrial scary guys embrace disco - my introduction to 400 blows was “beat the devil” off the elephant table album and yeah, i guess it was sort of electro then, but it felt like such a heel turn to cover a brass construction tune. anyway, it was cheap and i love it.
https://www.discogs.com/release/517916-Kirsty-MacColl-Walking-Down-Madison
parts of this song have aged beautifully, some parts of them could have been left out of the song. the message is still appropriate, especially here in the states. plus, it’s always a pleasure to hear kirsty sing.

been on a little bit of a rhythm king kick lately, a lot of these records sound so big.
https://www.discogs.com/release/245175-SExpress-Mantra-For-A-State-Of-Mind-The-Baby-Ford-Experience
baby ford does exactly what’s needed on this remix.
https://www.discogs.com/release/70370-Joey-Negro-Do-What-You-Feel
one of those records that was a fave of another dj that i worked with way back when, always liked this song but never owned a copy of my own. when they’re this cheap, why not?
https://www.discogs.com/release/294283-Ingrid-Chavez-Elephant-Box
the same guy that i used to dj with played this a bit as well and i always liked it - breathy “grown & sexy” type early-ish major label house. also cheap.
https://www.discogs.com/release/78986-Paul-Rutherford-Oh-World-Remix
some more of that major label house sound, this time thanks to morales. the lyric is a bit wooden but i like the sound.
https://www.discogs.com/release/58603-Audio-Clash-Live-And-Die
one of the stronger SR records, might as well scoop while it’s available.

a quick follow-up: so weird when you buy a record and it’s got a real heavy scent.
the audio clash record i bought smells hella 90’s gay in a perfumey way that’s nearly impossible to explain. but if you could smell it, you’d know exactly what i mean.

400 blows is solid. The Razormaid mix toughens things up a notch and is worth checking out.
Also recently been re-appraising those Rhythm King twelves. A great seam to dig in to

Finally bought a copy of this beauty. The record is different to the youtube version and an mp3 i had though. I had listened to them so many times i got a bit of a surprise, anyone know where this version comes from with the male vocal sample on it (in addition to the female Gal Costa sample)? Guessing it’s been ripped from a mix.
