Fresh stock

I have retrieved the small batch of singles from the hole in the ground at the bottom of the garden. Good job too as it's raining now. The unseasonably high winds we have been having lately certainly should have seen off any lingering virus particles that may have been lingering on them :)

I can now reveal the small batch of singles with the Week27 price sticker on them (see last post). These are not the usual charity shop fodder, in my experience at least. Three are on the Tru Thoughts label and one is on Red Earth, and they all date back to around 2008. The recent past you could say, although that is already twelve years ago!

A nice little batch, all are well worth the 99p each I paid.

Kinny – aka Caitlin Simpson – was the buzz of the DJ world back in the late 00s. This was her first single. Two albums followed, in 2009 and 2011. Earlier in the decade she had been recording with producer Espen Horne as Kinny & Horn, and Kinky & Horne. Since her second album almost nothing, at least in the recorded form, has been heard of her. This single has two good sides, which would I guess fall into the Neo Soul genre (I am no expert in recent trends!).

Nostalgia77 – aka Benedic Lamdin – was another darling of the Tru Thoughts label and also very active during the 00s, but again his recorded output has tailed off significantly in the last few years. On this single he collaborated with the jazz couple Keith & Julie Tippett (nee Driscoll) to create a gorgeously moody piece. Keith passed away just a few weeks ago. RIP Keith Tippett.
