Original Concept - Straight From The Basement
Minted up on this one, my old copy had numerous skips on side-b, in recent weeks I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the best albums of that era , not sure this is a widely held opinion though.
One person who would probably agree is Doctor Dre , listened to a interview with him recently and hes a bit full of himself.
Marc And The Mambas – Sleaze (Take It, Shake It).
Heard this played in a club a decade ago and finally got a copy at a decent price (half the going rate, thanks eBay).

Santa Esmeralda / House Of the Rising Sun
Charity shop pick-up. Almost picked it up from a record shop some years back as it has an Missin' Linx sample at around the 5 mark, but I think it was too expensive or something so I passed on it. About 2 years ago I was in a club and I heard a DJ drop the entire 15 mins of this tune, it was epic, he's a DJ known for his rare/obscure stuff but this (usual) bargain bin cheapie was the biggest track of the night, its was magic.

Nipped into HMV before to cop me mum the obligatory new Daniel O'Donnell album I get her every Christmas and noticed The Chats' album on CD in there. Didn't even realise it was released to CD. Had to cop, natch.

Also got the 12" of Michigan & Smiley's Tom's Diner on the way to me via the 'Bay of Dreams. Cheers to whoever recommended it to me in the Best Cover Versions thread.
Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde – Gettin' Money
crazy track.
^^^ Their best. Pity they didn't have a couple of Pumpkin tracks for their album.
Anyhoo, my Michigan & Smiley 12" came, and I also copped the 2nd Pharcyde album on CD. Finally warmed to that album recently after being disappointed by it when it dropped.
Dont buy much vinyl due to Canadian dollar being in a funk and shipping cost. But snatched these that I wanted
C-town-Money and fame 12
Big U the Exquisite-Day break 12
The Wastelands-Find out 12
Natruel-naturel on top 12
Larry O-kkk 12
I had a very fruitful walk at lunchtime.
Local shop got a Hip Hop collection the other week and been waiting for him to clean the 12"s. I had all the decent LP's he got in but came a way with a nice haul of collection fillers and some doubles which I need picture covers for. Also had a few cheapo funk and soul LP's.
Dude was a DJ so they not all in best nick with bpm stickers etc but cant complain.
