Podcast # 4- Seven Wonders……Starting off with the very rare & often unknown Prince Buster track from 1968. The Eastern style organ intro sets the mood for the mix in that it is a reggae track infused with soul. Listening back to the mix, it seems that most of the tracks have a big intro & could all be pulled up with the shout ‘Call for the rewind’. Enjoy the trip.

Podcast # 3 - Pieces Of Me……..Just trying to introduce my tastes in music to the podcast community….where do I start? Well it’s my 3rd post & It’s about time I played a track by the great Gil Scott Heron. I’m a sucker for ‘Lady Day & John Coltrane’, but I felt ‘Pieces Of A Man’ was more apt in the current climate’ Some 37 years old, but still very relevant "Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy Cause they've laid off nine others today" The mix kicks off with some modern crossover reggae tracks before heading in a more soulful direction with a few leftfield diversions along the way, enjoy your trip! Tracklisting;- Boozoo Bajou- Night Over Manaus Melasse- Soul Map Afterlife- Breather Gil Scott Heron- Pieces Of A Man Underwolves- Bird Song Mary J- Marvin Interlude Marvin Gaye- Heavy Love Affair David Ruffin- You Can Come Back’ UFO’- Mistress Of The Dance Eliza Carthy- Mr Magnifico Nitin Sawney feat Tina Grace- October Daze Alice Russell- Let Us Be Loving Glen Brown- No More Slavery

Strictly Roots Vinyl Selection…….Back in the day I ran a record shop in Southend called Bassment Records. My Dad (safe Sid) was a drum & bass head & I sold reggae & soul. When it all started I was unaware of roots music, but became a very quick learner! Here’s a few tunes that I cherished & at some stage sold!! Dedicated to anyone I sold a record too. Either through the shop, or website (UK Reggae) , mailorder (Reggae Direct) or at Brighton record fair. Cedric Brooks- Lambs Bread Carlton Coffie- Chant Away Heptones- Crying Over You Stranger Cole- Time Is Now Wayne Jarret- Come Lets Go Desi Roots- Warning J.Clarke- Oh Jah Paul Blackman- Earth Wind A Fire Devon Russel- Darker Than Blue

just a trial mix, getting to grips with audacity. A few classics from the back of the box; Rollerball, Cynamade, Modulations, Isleys, Merry Clayton, Nina, Gal Costa, Prince Allah.
