A record fair seems like a good chance to come back to Auckland and catch up with my music mates. I've left the 45s at home this time (sorry Dubhead!) so it's overflow 12s and LPs covering soul, afro, sample fodder and balearic beats.
Here’s 5 records (plus a turntable) that will be available from Scott’s stall at The Other Crate Record Fair.
Low Profile - The Cutting Edge 12”
(JAYREM)
Rare NZ new-wave jazz funk. Is that a genre?
Wonder City Orchestra - Information 12”
(JAPAN RECORD)
Amazing ambient, synth dub, pop tart from Japan. A recent reissue that somehow I ended up with 2 copies.
Anita Baker - Songstress LP
(ELEKTRA)
Her first record has a couple of great slow jams (think Rising To The Top). Cheap!
Piliso - Thumela LP
(PEACH RIVER RECORDS)
NM copy of this afro gem. Recorded in Nigeria feat Orlando Julius.
Carly Simon - Why 12"
(WEA)
Essential dub disco-not-disco with Nile Rogers on production duties. OG with extended mix and intro.
Thorens TD 165
A classic turntable begging for some love and attention. A few upgrades and this will be amazing - I just got too many other projects on the go.
