SĀF: VINYL LUV

I've been posting some obvious covers lately. From next post I'm back to digging up obscurities...

Just saw HR a week ago so I gotta show some love.  I'll get the actual Bad Brains album on here eventually...

another obvious one, a classic for very good reason.

Have a listen... Those horns get me every time :-)

Listen: War/No More Trouble

Another one from my childhood... and another source of great samples.

Have a listen...

Not sure what year I got this record, but it was one of my first after moving to the US.  Rediscovered it after I started DJing.  Full of great old radio style samples.

Think I got this at Second Story Books in Dupont... That used to be my joint for finding random records from all over the world.  No mas unfortunately, they stopped stocking vinyl.

Tenth anniversary release from the famous Dirt Style scratch record series by the Invisible Skratch Piklz.  The Skratch Piklz aren't just some of the baddest turntablists ever, they are funny as hell and you can see it in their record covers.

I collect a lot of percussion and roots music from the Caribbean, but I have to admit: the music on this one could have been complete merde, I would have still bought it.  I mean really, how fly is that photo?

Edit: man, you can find anything on youtube... here, have a listen.

Have a listen...

Japanese bamboo flute music, some of the most haunting music you will hear.  A staple in my dub/abstract sets.

Kicking this off with the earliest record I remember owning: a story record of the Ramayana from my childhood in India.
