TOP 5 RECORDS FROM STINKY JIM 'THE OTHER CRATE FAIR' STALL

Here’s Stinky Jim’s pick from his crates for The Other Crate Record Fair on Saturday 1st August.

You can catch Stinky Jim on 95bFM’s Stinky Grooves every Tuesday 7 till 10pm or check out his shows on Mixcloud here.

Larry Marshall - Mean Girl 7”

(STUDIO ONE)

Always some Studio 1 bargains to be found and Mean Girl is a long time, bonafide classic that was done over superbly by Xterminator in the 90s. A tenner I tells you.

Run DMC - Together Forever Greatest Hits 1983-1991

All killer on solid original Profile double vinyl. Tracksuit optional, lino squares not included.

Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight  

(SUGAR HILL RECORDS)

Hip hop history with Wonder Mike, Master Gee and Big Bank Hank. Have got some first time out, top shelf hip hop biz lined up but this is the only one with the mighty Tackhead trio of Keith LeBlanc, Skip McDonald & Doug Wimbish bringing the rhythms.

BBC Radiohonic Workshop - Out Of This World

(BBC RECORDS & TAPES)

There are a LOT of BBC Radiophonic Workshop albums and this is one of the best. Spacey, suspenseful elemental and magical these wonks, blonks, boinks & plump passages come c/o legends like Delia Derbyshire, Paddy Kingsland & John Baker (no not that John Baker!)

Augustus Pablo - Rockers Meet King Tubby In A Fire House LP

(SHANACHIE)

Meditational dubwise sounds with enough pungent potency to relax and inspire even in these fraught times. King Tubby and Prince Jammy are on mix control as Pablo blows up a quiet storm.
