Classic LPs for vinyl returnees No.48

Treacherous: A History Of The Neville Brothers

This double LP is evidence of the impact of New Orleans & the Neville Brothers (also know as the Meters) on popular music. It spans three decades & is full of classic soul, blues & funk. If you think you've never heard them, you likely have but just not realised. The music here emphasis how the New Orleans sound both developed yet retained its earthiness over decades.

Classic LPs for vinyl returnees No.43

Red Snapper. Reeled & Skinned

This double LP brings together Red Snapper's first three EPs & is a great example of the sound of Bristol in the early 1990s. The Snapper's sound is a form of mutant jazz, drawing from the local trip-hop scene & offering something that sounds unlike anything else you'll hear. Often using a modal form this is music of mood & effect rather than song, but thirty years on its still fresh & compelling.

Classic LPs for vinyl returnees No.42

Poet & The Roots. Dread Beat & Blood

To some extent British reggae has always been political in one way or another, but its epitome is this album showcasing (for the first time) Linton Kwesi Johnson's poetry against a dub-inflected backing. Its not comfortable listening but as a document of how politics can make music compelling there are few better examples. Its a reminder that music has meaning! Vital stuff!
