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?
Was there not a review on here years ago that said it was the Live Guy?

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

beats like ice cream, rhymes are like sprinkles...
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.

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.
