Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector.

I Love your site & it is brilliant of you to share this rare rare music.
One problem for me though is Z share.
All your posts are now through them as opposed to Rapidshare & I can't download any tracks.
Why did you stop using rapidshare?

Hi Chris,
rapidshare was giving me alot of trouble about a year ago and taking an age to upload stuff on. The a friend recommended Zshare so they could listen to the track before downloading it, which made sense, and it all seemed to work really smoothly to start with. Recently I have found that with Z Share you end up going round in circles and never able to actually download anything. I will start to use mediashare and see if that is any better.
Your views and comments though are most welcome.
Thanks

Hi KG
Thanks for your advices -good news
me thinks.
I confirm with Z share you do go round in circles & get no downloads.
After e-mailing you I tried again & at first all seemed OK -it downloaded -then when I played back it had only downloaded a small "sound bite"-which was frustrating given the quality of the great music you are kind enough to want to share!!!
I'll be logging in all the time or should I say I haven't been away since discovering you ,My Jazz World & Never Enough Rhodes since before Chritmas.
All the best.

I dont know if you're interested but I remember when I first got this album I had a record shop in London and found it in a distributors i was using. Played it in the club I was dj'ing and whammo! it seemed a hundred people came up and asked "Whats this?!!!!!!!". I followed up the address on the back of the album, it was a very grand old guy in an even grander old house in a very grand street in Hampstaed.. Hundreds of them, "Denga" too.
I bought the lot..sold 'em too!

A message to Paul M,
Got your comment and i will publish it shortly. Firstly though, just wanted to say thanks to you, as you are one if not THE major factor behind me owning nearly all the LP's on this Blog. If it hadn't been for the record shack, I probably woudln't have gone on to build this collection. The Robin Jones LP's were bought and paid for there along with the likes of Eddie Harris, Seawind, Cal Tjader, Jayme Marques etc etc etc. If I remember rightly the old Blues & Soul Mags used to carry the record shack best sellers list, and then from Spats on a Saturday with Giles P, it was down to your shop to buy the tunes just played...aaahhh those were the days.
Respect
KG
