Lately I've been (re)discovering the appeal of 7" and 12" pieces of grooved, circular plastic - probably it is at least a little tinged with nostalgia. This (pictured) promo that I received recently, (Blueprint, Print Is Goin' Off/No Half Smokin', Rhymesayers BLPT-001), with its blue vinyl, brought back some memories of a handful of Dickies singles that I had as a kid, all of which were released on coloured vinyl, (as were several other A&M releases of the time). What a good feeling it seemed to give me watching it spinning on the turntable - kids can be so easily amused!

I sold my turntable a looooooooong time ago, but I'm considering getting another one soon - there are several good things coming out on vinyl-only releases, particularly instrumental versions of hiphop albums. Vinyl is Not Dead!

Currently listening to: Orchestre Régional de Kayes, "Sanjina" World Psychedelic Classics 3 (on CD!)
