Yes! My scanner is working! Just to celebrate the fact that I have this amazing machine, I'm uploading images of a few of my 7-inch vinyls. Up top, this one's a slow 'n smooth, sexy jam released by Truth & Soul Records. Without doubt one of the best deep-funk labels around today. "These Moments" by The Expressions.
"The Monster" by Beverley's All Stars.
"The Monster" by Beverley's All Stars.This one's a bit of a gem, hidden as it's on the B side of an Ansel Collins instrumental track "Night of Love", which in my personal opinion, is a rather mediocre tune. This B side on the other hand, is a killer! Pure '69 skinhead reggae sound with a brilliant deejay (not quite sure who) laying out the right atmosphere, and not over-doing it like how some Lee Perry intros sound, for example. (Actually, try King Horror's "Loch Ness Monster" if you want to hear a great example of a completely over done deejay intro. Kinda scary!)
One of my favorite skinhead reggae tracks! A cover of The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" done so beautifully by Marcia Griffiths backed by the tight Harry J All-Stars. The B side is also a great gem, an instrumental version featuring (most likely) Winston Wright on the Hammond Organ! It's a treasure.
