Vinyl Love 31-40

More vinyl love

I've a lot of Jhelisa records Dorado used make a good effort on the design side of things too



A great album and a cover very much of it's time some nice tunes on this!



One of the best albums of 2010 and another visually striking piece she rocks!



Like many great artists in music history, Ike Turner was a complex character who did a lot of wrong as we all know. It's a shame that this has diluted the legacy of his music amongst many; because their were not many more important people in rock n'roll. Jurassic 5 plundered this amazing album.



What an artist-one of the very best!



The pic says it all



Definition of the word "FLY"!



De la Soul ain't dead!



No copies left in One Stop Records in 94 so my man Curty Cut gave me his own personal one-soundtrack to a great summer in the States


Rest in Peace Curty Cut, who died at only 32 in 2002




One of the most iconic soul covers; my favourite singer of all time

Some for the late night crew! The Beatles covered!



My main man Choice (DJ Scope of http://www.choicecutsonline.com/ ) posted "Times Up" today and got me thinking of this-i only have it on some vinyl compilation but a great Beatles cover and a terrific break!
