Yeah it’s his idea of what a comedy hip funk star looked like in the 80’s very funny. I can remember guys looking that bad out clubbing back then.

Here is Dabeull Live for the uninitiated not most of your cups of tea but like his compatriots Daft Punk he is as his album title describes a real Analogue devotee.

Nice to see Sade’s back catalogue rereleased and I was able to fill in the two missing LP’s in my collection for sensible money Soldier of Love for £21 and Lovers Rock which is £16 on Amazon at the moment.

Patrice Rushton - Remind Me, The Classic Elektra Recordings 1976-1984, K7 (2024)
3 Disc Compilation for a very acceptable £31 let’s hope the get the pressing right and The Carvery don’t mess with the sound too much as her earliest records where mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman and Chris Bellman.

As part of the bicentennial celebration of Bruckner’s birthday, DG Classics is releasing C.M. Giulini/VPO Bruckner Symphonies 7-9 for the first time on vinyl. These are remastered by the same team of Rainer Malliard and Sidney Meyer who are responsible for the most excellent The Original Source reissues series of 70s-era multitrack classical recordings.
Frank Merritt and The Carvery has been doing the recent Gil Scott-Heron re-releases on Ace (as well as work for BBE, Strut, Arc etc) Bob, and they’re fantastic. Along with Caspar at Gearbox, he’s probably the UK’s best cutting engineer. They’re based in East London and I’ve been round there, some real kosher gear. Check out their website and socials - and there are some photos of the setup here:
(For clarity: Not affiliated with The Carvery in any way, I just think Frank does great work)

Acoustic Sounds new Pablo Records series. I would say that the original Pablo releases are all available for very reasonable sums a lot less than these £50 reissues I can’t say if they are better as I’ve not compared these but the originals are excellent. I do have an original AP Ella Fitzgerald/Joe Pass and also the original Pablo and whilst the AP is better is it worth treble? No it isn’t.

Many of the original Pablos can still be picked up for around the £5 mark, with a few exceptions.
