1990 digi killer by Leicester’s finest, originally out on the Japanese Tachyon label run by Bullwackies cohort Sonny Ochiai. Classic.
Billie Jean UK-dubwise. A police-shoot-out scenario, with gunshots, sirens and a daft vocal interjection — Book im, Danno — plus burning horns. Original copies.
Expert, ecstatic, technicolour disco from the Orlando Riva Sound.
Utterly genius mid-seventies Upsetters. The great Horse Mouth aka Mad Roy playing melodica (like on his classic Far Beyond for Studio One, where he started out printing labels) and drums (like on War Ina Babylon), and spliffically hymning his local dealer.
With Delroy Butler/Denton from The Silvertones, on the flip.
Improvisations between Greenberger reading texts from his massive archive of old people’s testimony, Jones playing banjo and guitar, Corsano on drums.
‘Despite the dark and sad feeling of some of the texts (dealing with aging, memory loss etc), there is also humor, joy and grit. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, a glittering patchwork of sonic atmospheres and an oral encyclopedia on dozens of subjects, like coffee, cigarettes, planets, art ... life ... and death.’
