Today’s selection. Take a listen

Jokers Y-ilde        Very Special Love  

GOLD SPILL VG            £100      

Vinyl has some marks. Plays strong with the occasional pop and background crackle. Nothing major - no sustained ticks or anything nasty.      

This a semi - known monster stepper - I found two copies in the 90’s. 

Check out the video. I can’t believe there is a recording of the band (miming but still!!!).

Crosswind   12" Fire (Getting Hot Baby) Harbor City Records 12”   M-   £45        

Comes in original plain red card sleeve it was issued in. 

Amazed this hasn’t really taken off. A great modern soul tune that I’ve always loved.
