Have wanted that Grasso comp for a while, great Disco and Funk stuff. The Chaos in the CBD record is my album of the year, what a ride from Ambient and Street Soul to intricate House. The Sebema 12’’ is top notch 80’s Soukous/Disco business.

I bought this recently, it’s really good, very particular but not too disjointed.
great write up too; Luc Ferrari – Atelier de Libération de la Musique (Lp) – Soundohm
Had a wee flick through the few boxes of records in a charity shop up here in Orkney and found a load of original On-U Sound LP’s. Picked up these two African Head Charge LP’s that are in mint condition, although the sleeves are slightly worn. They were wanting £20 for each but got them to do £30 for both. A few Dub Syndicate LP’s too, but already have them. And then in another box, some '90’s chill and trance like Dreamfish, a couple of Rising High Comps - Chill Out or Die and Secret Life of Trance. Would have bought them too but they were all in the £45-£50 range.

It is. Both are two of my favourite AHC albums and they were both sounding immense out loud giving the sub woofer a good workout.
Both the records are in mint condition, so I’m well chuffed with that surprise of a find. It’s usually just the normal charity shop crap. I did pick up a mint 12” of Why by Carly Simon a few months back too for a few quid.
The only other time I’ve had a similar gold strike was when someone had dumped a stack of mint condition Stereolab, Nurse with Wind, etc.

Fun fact about that Murl release is that the b side has Peter Noone aka Herman from The Hermits on backing vocals. I love me some Murl (Merrel Fakhauser).
He also wrote the classic surf instrumental “Wipe Out” with an early band he lead named The Impacts.
I first heard him on a bootleg cd of his band Mu on the release “The Band From The Lost Continent (The Complete Maui Sessions)” - top shelf hippy-folk-esoteric mysticism-blues that took it’s cues from James Churchward’s The Lost Continent of Mu, a book about the mythical “Hawaiian Atlantis.”
He also lead 2 other great bands - Fapardokly, and HMS Bounty, an overtly psyche pop band. He had crossovers with members of Beefheart’s Magic Band and other influential rock luminaries. Referred to in circles as “the ultimate cult rocker” - his story deserves a doco!!

Nurse with Wind is actually a more disturbing band name than Nurse with Wound.

great finds, but it’s mad/sad that a charity shop is selling records for so much, £45-50 is just wild.
