blue savannah is a nice lil’ pop song but i really bought this for the campy version of “no GDM”.

golden era pork stuff. i also picked up a leggo beast 12 that i already had, they were so cheap that it was easier to buy them on sight than to open up the shitty discogs mobile app and check if it was already in the collection.

a west coast rave classic. i played it off of a twitch remix service, never had the original 12 but that’s fixed now.

good murk mixes.
https://www.discogs.com/release/373676-Bebel-Gilberto-River-Song-Grant-Nelson-Remixes
sort of a generic latin house mix but it’s a good bebel performance.

i really did not care for this song at all, and i was a new order enthusiast. however, weatherall mixes!

another one i thought i might already own, but i didn’t.

80’s me is still a little more than shocked that current me likes pat methany.
https://www.discogs.com/release/25244-The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moog-From-Within-Vinyl-Compilation
from within was pretty great. dark side of the moog was also pretty nice, but there were so many of them that i don’t think i even listened to all of them, so no idea if i like the DSOTM tracks on this one.
https://www.discogs.com/release/209938-Various-An-Afflicted-Mans-Musica-Box
used to have this on cassette, way back when. this is much more 80’s me - i was lucky enough to grow up with a bunch of noise nerds, and young teen me loved scary sounds. this certainly has a few.

Just been streaming this, it’s lovely!Q Where did you find a physical copy? Looks like it’s pretty hard to track down… Or may be I’m just no good at internet sleuthing…
Bought it from the band directly.

Thank you!
It’s pretty spendy (esp with postage) from there, will keep hunting!
Love the Lio, big fan of that 12!
Also, Mercy Mercy - I heard about them through Sean P “Originals” compilation, but not that track.
I seem to remember hearing that back in the day no-one wanted it and Mercy Mercy were bargain bin, until they appeared on some comps.

On a Sean P related anecdote, he also told me this Feel The Real cover version was the same - couldn’t give it away as everyone still revered the David Bendeth version.
I see now it’s £100!

Wish I had found 10 of these in a bargain bin…

Idle hands (bristol) recently re-opened so popped in the other day. Great selection of dub and electronic stuff. Could’ve spent loads but treated myself to this. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

It’s always a pleasure going in there. They’re so friendly and always up for a wee chat too.

I love that Mercy Mercy record, hadn’t listened to it in years. So good. Immediately took me back to a time I was living in North London I was striking absolute gold in the bins in Haggle records over a couple of weekends. Stars and Bars, loads of Bruton stuff, random italo, loads of island records stuff. Anyway, this one was cheap as chips and as good as any obscurity I picked up.
Anyway, had a very emotional few days and it just hit me deep. Also made me think of this golden cheap one I must have picked up then as well, which in my opinion, is also just perfect. Balearic reggae? Dunno. Whatever.

Stars n Bars in Haggle! Those piles under the racks could produce gold … I remember finding lots of early Chicago House stuff there and a minty US 12” of “Billy Who”.

The absolute chaos of the place was very helpful. Billy who…score

This directly from Numero Group, ordered it on the 17th Jan but it doesn’t look like it’s gone into delivery yet. Messaged them a couple of days ago but no response yet, are they usually pretty good to deal with does anyone know?

It’s in stores here in the US. Looks and sounds great so they’ve definitely sent it out to stores and distributors.

Cheers, I might try and give them a call later on.
Super interesting record and incredibly done by 11 year old girls.

When I first saw it I thought it was one of those made up back stories, but it seems to be true.
It’s about a thousand times more interesting than anything else in the Juno Balearic section. Pretty incredible really.
