It's been nearly six months since my last Podcast - can't believe how quickly time flys! Anyway, Waxer's kind comments on this weeks Disco Scratch Radio show inspired me to pull my finger out and have a sift through the crates. The usual format - Soul, Funk, Break-to-the-Beat, Bootsale pickups, new(ish) and old Hip-Hop, etc... included amongst the selections is a short Female Rap segment as well as an appreciation for Fatback penned goodness. Goes without saying - all ORIGINAL vinyl pressings. Enjoy...
