Local record shop got some rap albums in! This kind of thing doesn't happen! So I got:
Roxanne Shante / Bitch Is Back. Passed on this when it came out and always wished I picked it up, I never see it around, until today.
Anotha Level / On Anotha Level. I remember this group but don't think I ever heard anything from them, well picked up this album today and its ok, nothing special in my opinion but defo ok.
Never seen the Bitch is Back either. Is it one of those horrendous Livin Large pressings that you can hardly hear? Gain knob to 11.
Good Large Pro tracks on there but you need the 12" of Big Mama for the Freestyle Mix (or the raer test press for the Extra P mix.)
Anotha Level were like a shitty Pharcyde but slightly more gangster if I remember rightly. My mate had that LP, can't remember any of the tracks.
The Shant pressing is a little better than I expected it to be, its obviously not great but I think it sounds better than the YZ I have on that label. And as an album its far better that I remember it being in 95.
My copy of Anotha Level is a bit rough, it looks ok visually but clicks and pops real bad, but it was only a coupe of quid and yeah they are like a discount Pharcyde, so I can live with this copy.

some good tracks on the Shante album, remember hearing Deadly Rhymes on the radio, love that track.
a-ha it does sound like Large Pro so I wonder if it was credited wrong because he is involved on the LP?Quote:

They repressed Eastern Flowers so grab it now before it become a future grail. Lovely Timmion press with Tip On sleeve.

This one sounds great...

This one sounds shit...?
A new shop opened nearby with 3 dealers selling. Got some good stuff this weekend including a nice afrobeat raer for cheap that's worth a few quid. The title track on the Supremes cheapo is a thing on beauty.

Also found a flea market within cycling distance so been finding loads of oddball records especially Disco. Couple of mailbox arrivals and bins from my local giving up the goods too.
