I was just putting together a list of records that I need to buy, and this is one which I am now kicking myself for passing on when it first came out. Truly heavyweight press!
Does anybody know if this is available anywhere? I have tried most of the major online UK record stores but none have...
For years now one of my secret weapons in the record box has been a fantastically strange old dancehall tune by General Degree called "Pot Cover" which is on the 400% Dynamite compilation on Soul Jazz. It's got a double-time beat and infectious bass with strange sounds on top that sound...
