Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+ (cover close to NM)

It's an old friend of mine. Taped it from the radio back in the days and it feels like it's been in my head forever, so I might be biased when praising this balearic anthem. Maybe give a try and see what your ears say... Vocal or Instrumental?

Label: Paisley Park

Year: 1991

Condition: NM/VG+  

If it were for Prince the record would be beatless (á la Whispering Dandelions). Since Warner wasn't with that the master dropped out of production. Now you would think that the outcome might be poor... haha it isn't. It's in fact a masterpiece in my books! And it has been a longtime dream of mine to listen to the record how Prince had imagined it. Some dreams stay dreams. This album is one! Try to find it on LP...

This overlooked and almost forgotten Machester Rave gem has so many hits that I want to shout. But I'll keep cool and save you the all caps business if you promise to listen attentively. The soundclip is over 10 minutes long due to the mass of quality cuts. Masterpiece!

When I first saw this record I bought it by chance. "Trilok Gurtu on percussion - it can't be that bad". It's actually VERY nice and still one of my favourite records. Not a rarity, but one of those records that should have a place in everybody's record collection.
