Obviously Apollonia 6 is in a different class though. Blue Limousine is one of my favourite Prince songs by anyone, including Prince…a definitive Minneapolis funk groove.

 

 
Incredible.

 

Well apart from the vocals it is Prince!

 

I like some of the stuff on the Vanity album - I do have the Apollonia one but rarely play it

 

He's having some fun with this one

 

 

I think this one is ahead of its time.

I hardly ever tire of Lou Donaldson. The relentless groove of that organ, the super tight percussion of Leo Morris is understated and perfectly pitched and bouncy. The Kid is pure unstoppable music.

A very tasty little compilation (three discs!) turned up today:

I was looking at this to go with this cracker. 
How is the pressing?

[ZOK]

It’s nice…but bear in mind I’ve got scratch needles on, so I’ve no idea how it sounds from an audiophile perspective!

Love this album

Talking to a dealer last week who said old Floyd vinyl has dried up - at one point he'd get loads in (I mean, how many copies of DSOTM were sold?) but now it's hard to find, especially The Wall.

According to Discogs, the one above is worth an average of £67. The DSOM I have is £425! If I've listed it correctly.

Well, I bought A Nice Pair off him - I don't think I have both of the early albums on vinyl.

 I think that’s happening with a lot of popular older titles now. I can’t seem to find any Barry White out in the wild in records shops, and his albums used to be everywhere.

I’m stunned how good this is. It sounds like it was released in 1992 but it came out two weeks ago.

You’ve prob got the same as mine or similar with all this stuff in it. I really need to get the wall.

It looks like your turntable is part of that whole table.

Yeah I think it has. All mine are inherited from my dad.

We’ll look after that matey

On the other hand, an amazing movie record that you should still find in charity shops for £2 (and if you can’t what’s the world coming to):

This is a great jazz comp on Universal Sound:

 

 

From 1997…a look on the price sticker tells me that’s when you could still buy a double vinyl album for £9.95 rrp! I bought it in Imperial on Park Street too, put out of business by Fopp appearing I think.

I do love that album (and it's cover).

Agreed - well worth picking up. Cracking sleeve too.

Ah fuck, I didn't know until I saw your post. 

 

No words can do him justice.

[Art Vandelay]

Oh man that’s so upsetting. One of the best that ever did it.

I picked up a lovely EP from Juno on a bit of a whim, some Chicago ‘Nu-Disco’ (I think) label called Star Creature.

 

 

By Giovanni Damico - it’s great, and was a real surprise to find it arrive on white vinyl with such a lovely sleeve!

[Mike1812]

This is pretty

Up there in contention for album of the year. Very much looking forward to seeing him live next month.

Quick spin of one of skipper’s juiciest pairings of extended mixes…and B side wins again:
