Just back from a day-trip for work to just east of Ipswich and as most of the Essex stretch of the M25 was screwed due to an oil spill I decided to take a detour to one of my favourite record shops, Crazy Beat in Upminster. Picked up:
UK press - been on my Discogs wishlist for a while now. One of only a couple of Jorge Ben LPs to get a UK pressing, and fits nicely between my copies of Forca Bruta and A Tabua De Esmerelda
First UK Island press with 'bullseye' logo. First heard of WKF when Harpsichord Shuffle was sampled by Bentley Rhythm Ace back in the late 90s. Saw this at a record fair going for £50 - this copy's got a few hairline marks and was covered in dust but I've just given it a scrub and shine and it's come up a treat with only a few sizzles here and there. Time for some boogaloo... _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG
87/100 - original Creation press. Saw this in Sister Ray on the BEA meet-up for £35, thought that was far too expensive so chose to bide my time and ended up saving a fair few bob on one in top nick.
As I've sold a fair bit of unwanted vinyl on Discogs in the last couple of weeks (Tallest Man On Earth's Wild Hunt, Tim Hecker's Ravedeath, an early Gentle Waves EP, second copy of Seamonsters, Take That & Party! - don't ask) I've been hastily reinvesting and whilst listening to an album I only discovered the other day via Plug (thanks to Nicholas from Belgium) I felt compelled to visit the Leaf Records website to order a repress of:
UK Mono 1st press for £3.00...I'll have to see how this one cleans up as lots of dust and surface marks but nothing feelable, it will probably suffer from a bit of crackle though. I already have a great condition Stereo version but have always wanted the Mono pressing so fingers crossed on this one.
