Is the Marvin good? Wondering how it differs from the album cuts. The samples online arenât really helpful.
Here you go dude. I want to be where you are is strung out to 6 mins and really lets the groove build nicely. I want you is instrumental, different to the main instrumental as it doesnât have the solo horns int he intro and brings the backing vocal in for the last minute or so. The pressing sounds great to my ears though my set up is pretty basic.

Please forgive a copy-and-paste from the âotherâ forum.
I confess to a bit of CD indulgence.
Letâs see, 4 Rough Guides, Madagascar, Kenya, Kenya & Tanzania, and the second edition of Mali. Not like I donât have much of this material already, but I do appreciate a good compilation. And Rough Guides are slowly disappearing from the sensibly priced marketplace. Thatâs my excuse anyway.
Then thereâs a little streak of compilation titles from the Sheer labelâs âTales Ofâ series, African Guitar Kings, Zimbabwe, and Tsotsi Beat. I have a small obsession with that series.
Listening to one of Joe Strummerâs London Calling radio shows convinced me I needed some Monkey Mafia, specifically the Adrian Sherwood versions of âLong As I Can See The Light.â And then âcos the extra postage from the seller wasnât much I topped up with CDs of two things I already have on vinyl, The Woodshedâs âDevilâs Jukeboxâ (how can one resist that title?) and Galliano : 4 (a long way from their best, but whatâs a completist to do?) and then âcos it was there, a collection of The Woodshedâs 12â, âHighbury Fields Forever - Collected Tales.â
And I found a cheapo copy of Monkey Mafiaâs CD âShoot The Boss,â so I was in for that also.
True obsession struck when I saw a sealed copy of âJungle Dubâ from Bob Marley on eBay and the seller cut the price! Yeah, I have every track already but itâs well sequenced.
I didnât expect this order to go through, but Amazon kicked up a Japanese CD of another Bob Marley collection, âWelcome To Dubrock.â Newly split into two vinyl releases at pretty astronomical prices, but the CD was, well, moderate. Still on its way.
Also on the way from Dusty Groove are the new rererererelease from Doctor Bird of âDubbing With The Observer,â vintage King Tubby dubs, Niney productions, extra tracks, etc. but I think I have three vinyl copies of the original album plus a CD set, so I thought Iâd better get some genuine music of today from Bokani Dyer with âRadio Sechabaâ and Sunbornâs new self-titled release after their string of releases as The KutiMangoes.
The last two are just to prove (to myself if no one else) that Iâm not a complete dinosaur!
End of the month sees new releases from African Head Charge, âYebo!,â a South African collection from John Armstrong (a favourite compiler of mine) on BBE, the Finis Africae collection, a new title from Bokante, âHistory,â and the Franklin Boukaka compilation on Fremeaux is already out and very appealing, but one must exercise restraint. Sometimes!
Just remember, âMusic will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no music.â

Been listening to this a lot online lately, and then realised I must have sold my original copy. Itâs now proudly back in the collection. Production values are off the charts.
Miserable looking turnips though arenât they, considering how upbeat the music is!?

Brian Auger - one of the greats!
We put him on in 1971 at what was then Ipswich Civic College, where I was on the entertainment committee. I might have gone to a few classes as well but my academic career was in a serious nosedive by then. Music was the thing for me!
Later, when I lived in SanFrancisco, he was resident in Marin County, just to the north, and regularly played in a lot of the more hippy clubs up there. But I was well punked out by then and never left the city to go see him. My loss.
I was listening to him with Julie Driscoll and The Trinity just on Sunday morning. Fabulous!
