Splashed out on this ep tonight - wasn’t cheap and to be honest, I’d never heard it before but I was totally enraptured by it. I’m guessing those who are familiar will already know how special it is - John Beltran at his finest
Unless you’re out when the postman calls and you return to the wife asking when is the addiction going to stop!
Having left my copy of Depth Charge - Bounty Killers around some birds house in the early 90’s I’ve gone and bought it again, nice to have it back. I also left Space (KLF) around her house, not so easy to get that one back
This could also go straight into the records you lost thread. Was in Bristol with work with a half hour to kill before my train home so popped into Wanted Records. Wasn’t particularly after it, but spotted the David Byrne Beleza Tropical comp (80s pressing not the recent reissue) for a good price so grabbed it. Get off the train 2 hours later, and before i had left the station realised i had left in on board, ran back to have a look but it was a goner. Hung around at lost property for a little while and then with the help of a nice member of staff had a rake in a big bin but no luck. As i’m typing this i realise it’s a pretty dull story, but i’m in too deep now not to post it…
I’m pretty sure I got a copy of that in a second hand record shop in Santa Cruz many moons ago. I’ll need to have a rummage…
My postie was busy this week, as was I, intercepting him before my wife saw each parcel appearing on the doorstep! I’d have put this in the “Hauls Found” but they all arrived in bits and bobs, so I’m putting them here.

Bought that surface reissue recently too … great record
It’s so good.
It might still turn up. Don’t lose hope.
It remimds me of when I went to Dekmental in 2014 and bought a copy of ‘fatima yamaha - What’s a Girl to Do’ at the festival. Obviously I got wrecked and left it in the taxi on our way back to Amsterdam (I didnt remember anything). I was pretty gutted.
Next day we get a taxi back to the festival, and we’re at some red lights. Our driver is talking across to the taxi driver in the car next to him, and my mate recognises him as our driver the night before, and quickly shouts across if we left a record in his car. He looks down in the footwell and appears with the record and passes it to our driver before we drive off. We’re all screaming with laughter and our driver is crying too. I made sure to put it in a locker when i got to the festival. Cover was covered in greasey kebab stains
lol misread as “left it round a birds house in the nineties, gone and got it back”
Now that would have earnt my respect lol

was in portland for the thanksgiving holiday and ended up going to a lil’ record store my wife had been telling me about. well, a number of factors were in play here - i wasn’t really in a digging mood, i didn’t see too much that was of interest to me, and this shop was literally in a dude’s front room - i bought the above as a sort of pity-buy. it wasn’t expensive.
Propaganda had some fantastic design aesthetics - I just looked up who was responsible for the work and it was Bev Whitehead and Phil Tracy, also known as The London Design Partnership, also the icon that is Neville Brody, Paul Morley for ZTT as well as photographers Juergen Teller and Anton Corbijn.
The good old days when record labels had proper art budgets!!!
Strong team!
I’m in love with this record.
Another Dubwise delivery.
Two copies required, dub first, then the tune, back to the dub.
File also under Balearic Reggae and Great Cover Versions.
Irresistible.
Heard Theo Parrish play Hang On Now at a do in Brixton a zillion years ago. Oooh To Be Aaah is their most Balearic jam though
