@slippydj.bsky.social reminded me it’s #12inchTuesday #vinylsky with a great Marc Almond selection. Took me back to my club days and inspired me to post. New Year’s resolution, post more records!

Don't forget I'm back at Soho Radio this afternoon where I'll be joined by Cymande's guitarist Patrick Patterson. Jump aboard for a sonic journey from the jungles of Guyana to the back streets of Balham, South London. 4-6pm GMT sohoradio.com

#12inchTuesday The Thes

How do you do fellow auteurs

Shown at Mix party all-nighters at The Scala during the 80s, the area outside the theatre was turned into a dancefloor with DJs like @markmooreofficial.bsky.social playing.

Owning at least one of these On-U Sound Disco Plates was on my bucket list, toward the end of the year a US-based seller popped up offering # 1 & 2 at unusually reasonable prices and in near perfect condition. Great sounding pressings. #WeekendSingles

Some festive reading for you: a conversation with the mighty Ron Trent about some of his musical inspirations, for the lovely people at Rush Hour in Amsterdam rushhourmusic.substack.com/p/ron-trent-...

#12inchTuesday the magic force of #Konk for a good holiday time (time time time)

A Firstman SQ-1, sold it on E-Bay a long time ago and it was purchased by a Mr. Martin Gore in California.

Joan Collins is at the top of Santa's naughty list as a murderous wife in, Tales from the Crypt (1972) "And All Through The House" Directed by Freddie Francis.

Experimental violinists for the holidays. RIP Walter Steding and Nash the Slash. Haven't run across many 7" singles with inner sleeves. #WeekendSingles

UK #SynthPop duo Wham! Sold more than 30 million albums from 1982-1986.Their 1984 Christmas hit "Last Christmas" has become a staple of the holiday season, with all proceeds from the single going to charity. Their 1986 B-Side “Blue” was a beloved Starck classic #SophistiPop youtu.be/a5RMvMckjVo

Elliott Erwitt, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. New York City, USA. 1988.

Mix in the video is slightly longer than the promo 12" (with even more rap), so there must be multiple takes.

#12inchTuesday #TalkingHeads Great sounding pressing that contains a slightly longer version of the facts rap vs the LP.

RIP #JimmyCliff #MusicSky
