Weekly update 26/7 - Barbara Mason, Bodega Band, Lord Finesse, Boris Gardiner, Freddie Redd, Tommy Potter and more...

This week has brought a lot of good records to our stock (just as we aim for every week), and might be of extra interest for collectors of Jazz EP's and Lord Finesse material. The Soul/Funk/Disco, Jazz, Rock and Hip-Hop sections are all filled up with great stuff. 

Do have a look at some of our recommended records like the previously unissued Young Souls 7" and Superfly Records great reissues of Full Moon Ensemble and Fabiano Orchestra.

And while you're at it, why not catch up with us on Facebook? We post even more pictures of records, and occasionally report on what's going on in the store which could be fun for all of you who don't live nearby!

See all records added this week with our New in stock-feature:

Or in our newsletter, if you don't already subscribe to it. If you miss out on something you really wanted, remember to add it to your automated want-list. That way you'll get a heads-up the next time we have it in stock.
 
And take a look at a couple of the more exclusive records below:


Barbara's second album, highly recommended sweet soul classic.


One of his more seldom seen albums, with a cover that I hope doesn't violate any blogger-regulations.

Weekly update 5/7 - Afro / Kenya special


Hi! We welcome Rickard Masip back from his long and exciting trip in Kenya. We are excited to be able to offer about 40 Kenyan originals, many have never been offered for sale anywhere. Rickard has worked hard to be able to find these records and among being robbed and travelling 12 hours back and forth to a collection of "African records" that turned out to be American R&B 12's from the 90's he also managed to find these 45's. We will put out a new batch of 45's from Kenya in a month or so. Please take your time and listen to these unique records.



Apart from the African stuff we have some strong Disco 12's this week at Record Mania, like Dunn Pearson Jr's "Groove on down", Curtis Hairstone "Summertime", Sarr Band and several more. We are also continueing to put out some nice Hip Hop from the two collections we bought recently. Killer classics from Pete Rock, Company Flow (Mr Len was in our store two weeks ago and bought the Iceberg Slim LP from us) plus in demand Swedish Hip Hop from Looptroop, Sherlock, Organism 12. Also, please note the few but rare electro/early rap 12's that we put out today. We haven't had enough time to add as much Soul, Funk and Jazz as we liked, but some very nice stuff has been put out for sale, like the fantastic LP by Prince Lasha "The Cry", Billy Parker original on Strata-East, Cymande, Ananda Shankar. Early soul lovers should definitely check out the Japanese reissue of New Sounds. I love that album and the original on Turbo is super rare. We also have high quality reissues from the Superfly camp with two great Jazz, Fusion, p
Prog monsters in Full Moon ensemble and Fabiano Orchestra. Those come highly recommended for fans of more twisted jazz/fusion. As always check the new arrival section for all new records we have added today.

Percussive dancefloor cavacha sounds from Francis Danger.
