Well the Tony Allen mention has got me interested to check this out, cheers.
The first track The Barbarian is outstanding.
Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain 2015 remaster (Warner/NPG LP)
Fine album and one of Mrs Dreads faves so who am I to argue! No point trying either dont like the sight of blood, especially my own!
Durand Jones & The Indications - Durand Jones & The Indications (Deluxe Edition)
Bluddy brilliant modern day Soul. The rough recording and mastering just adds to the real and raw feel of this belter.
Interesting, I was just eying that on my latest mailing from Juno
Paquito D’Rivera & Arturo Sandoval ‘Reunion’.
Bought when it was released in ‘91 and lived it ever since. Just a great happy vibe throughout.
Emerson String Quartet - Bartók String Quartets
…while completing my tax return, which is something I never look forward to, especially not when the result is a large payment due
Raiders Of The Lost Dub - (Island LP)
Original press of this inspired Dub album from back whenever it was, each track titled after scenes from the film. If my recall serves correctly Spielberg wasnt too happy.
Dub mixes of the Paragons, Ijahman, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Wailing Souls, Viceroys, Junior Delgado
Foy Vance - Hope In The Highlands: Recorded Live From Dunvarlich
Couple of tracks in and Foy is giving a classy performance, as expected.
Otis Grand & The Dance Kings - Always Hot (Special Delivery LP)
Prompted by an earlier post I just spotted by @ewemon
“Swinging the Blues” as Paul Jones says on the sleeve note
