yes ranking glasses newer get tired of wes brooks "lay down your arms" goes nice back to back with the jah woosh DJ version from "lick him with a dustbin" which sensibly retains some of the vocal underneath woosh's chanting.......

Had a nice Thanksgiving weekend haul, picked up a large job lot of stuff, around 400 records total (mostly 7" & 12"), some of them are another portion of a former sound system collection I've been buying in chunks over some time (as described in previous pages in this thread). Mixed bag of stuff from the 70's to early 90's, plenty of late 80's dancehall type stuff which is not generally my favorite era but nice to pick up the rest. Way too many to list all, lots of tunes unfamiliar to me, some blanks and a few real obscurities & oddities but here are some highlights:

[Mark T]

Some nice choices in there jj, I didn't think they would turn up in one place, that takes a few dollars searching online - enjoy!

I took a look through Doug's haul on Saturday and I'm trying to persuade him to part with a few - I mean, who can take in 400 records at once!!

Mark T

[Ital Dokta]

I can give you a good deal on the dancehall stuff Mark

[Mick Sleeper]

Just picked up Roman Stewart's Running Away From Love LP which I have been after for a long time. A little steep at $80, but much less than what I usually see it going for.

@Ital Dokta: looks like you had a happy Thanksgiving indeed!

[Ital Dokta]

Indeed Mick: feeling well (musically) stuffed at the moment
