WASP – Headless Children &nb sp; Certainly not bad for a quid! To begin with I was attracted by the album cover, which can be compared to The Beatles Sergeant Peppers. It shows some great illustrations of various evils and faces, such as the Ku Klux Klan and Adolf Hitler,...

Over the last few years I've picked up a few records by Hugh Masekela. The south african trumpeteer has been releasing them for way longer than I've been born and I guess I still have quite a few to collect. A couple of years ago I bought his record...

The new, and third, Wisely record is his first available on vinyl and is a treasure trove of wonderfully recorded laid back pop or blue eyed soul. It arrived here in perfect time for the summer and would be suitable for a long hazy summer evening on a recliner with...

Diarmaid is, according to the press release, a three turntable wizard with a flair for Intelligent Dance Music. Or that could just be a play on his name. This 12" has three versions of Just Go on it. Its difficult to work out the speed of the record so I'm playing...
