The Isley Brothers version was pretty good

On a related side note, my old mate's brother made this without prior permission. Adeva's people came calling, but rather than a lawsuit, he wound up PAing it with her in Ibiza and beyond www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCui...

Vol 5 passed me by, though I had a few tunes off it

Impossible to find such a cherished album in NM

Just spotted someone sharing this AI image on Twitter to bait the "WE WANT ARE COUNTRY BACK" brigade, but the first thing which crossed my mind is I know a fair few guys who would part with an extraordinary amount of money for a VG+ copy of a Christmas dub album with this cover

He did a few videos around then which didn't chart very high so unless you had MTV they probably went under the radar. This was one of my favourites but barely snuck into the top 40 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY5z...

RSW was first. I remember buying that on a break at college around the beginning of '94. The MC Solaar track was at the other end of the year. I can't imagine RSW influenced a French act to sample Gainsbourg, but stranger things have happened

And circling back to the start, Renegade Soundwave released this the same year as Nouveau Western using the same Gainsbourg sample. I inevitably used to mix them both together in my early DJ sets www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-O3...

Also one of the first (along with Master Ace and Ruthless Rap Assassins) to sample South London's finest, Cymande www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYs...

Vividly remember watching this video on the telly in my hotel room in Paris in '91 and hitting the record shops in search of some MC Solaar vinyl. His debut album remains an all time favourite www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mfo...

I made the foolish decision to only buy one copy of this when it was on sale for a fiver at the Tate years ago. I think they had about 20 copies. I've seen it go for anything from £200 to a grand since

Don't forget Bosley

You can have mine for £1799

It's from the same guy who did the Greensleeves book with Tony's first 100 covers for the label which has just had a 2nd edition, so maybe In Fine Style will get one too onelovebooks.com/product/gree...

I haven't seen one in the wild for a few years so just googled it, and..!! www.amazon.co.uk/Fine-Style-D...

Was that in the in the old Denmark St spot before the floor collapsed?

Thanks for all the cassette recs, folks.

It just occurred to me that we filmed this in the same place Rebel MC shot the Tribal Bass video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh_q...

I spent a good while sifting through clashes and clips earlier this year (I had planned on a much longer in depth Stalag story), and I think I found what sounds like the seeds of the song over the cuss cuss, though it’s hard to say for sure. I’ll dig it out and share it when I get a mo

There’s way more than ten records in my all time top ten but it’s definitely one of them

I’m sure you know better than most how inconsistent reggae artists can be with past events and who played what/when, but Ansel’s melodica was at least recorded early enough to appear on that 7” in ‘75.

Yep, and the “remote control” hook is from Mean Machine. The “John Coltrane was white” bit though. Apparently Big Youth didn’t find out he was black until a while after he recorded it.

One strange thing is how warped the rhythm track sounds, yet it was one of the first times anyone had versioned it

I’ve got some stinkers but I won’t have a word said against Limonious.

Have you seen this by the way?
