I got it as a Christmas present (basically to myself with my wife claiming credit although I paid for it, ordered it, and it wasn't wrapped up!

 the same  happens to me every year 😂, the album looks kinda familiar, I’ll have a listen 👍

Nice one ☝️ I’ll check that out, don’t think I’ve come across nts live

NTS are great. Coming from a dance culture background but there's such a diversity of shows covering jazz reggae soul funk rock and experimental alongside the more usual underground dancefloor stuff.

 

Their archives are comprehensive but I always get overwhelmed with the choice though!

Despite having a copy tucked away somewhere, I hadn't ever twigged that It Hurt's So Good was a Millie Jackson hit. Here's a nice little evolution of the song from the original:

Heard this yesterday - bass tone is so good. Warm and fat with just a tiny bit of percussive attack.

Great one myke👍, I recognise the Answer riddim/Bassline , used on many tracks over the years , I’d like to find the original , I know cornel Campbell had this one out around 77
