Express Your Soul - Mixed by Levanna McLean
I'm mixed on this. On one hand I find it refreshing........new stuff like Lack Of Afro, Nicole Willis etc might be seen as a alternative take on things, and some less than obvious cuts from way back when. I see that as a good thing really. But the media hype "from zero to hero" of the compiler in little more than a year or two is a bit bizarre. Not sure if her being seen as the new voice of the scene will go down too well but maybe we should lighten up and let it evolve with this new blood. As I say, I'm dead 50/50 on this.......... Cheers, Mark R

Paula Parfitt Love is Wonderful
I've got one of these from when I were a lad but back then I didn't appreciate the original vs pressing thing.......it was just a record containing a song I'd heard and liked. Consequently I have a box of records where in some cases I don't know whether what I have is original or not! Sorry to hijack your thread, as it won't help you as i probably wouldn't sell anyway, but how do you definitively tell an original from a boot, and how much do each fetch anyway? Cheers, Mark R

Mario Biondi - This is what you are
The fact that it's a 12" matters little to a good DJ.......there are ways to deal with such things! It's all about the 7" fetish I'm afraid, it clearly can't be down to a pieces "originality"!!! Besides that, Was-A-Bee is the original version of the song......... Cheers, Mark R

I wasn't around at the Casino, but we're all aware of the power of Dickie in those days, but when you see those listed together and credited to him, it really hits the point home, That's some list of tunes!! Cheers, Mark R
