Libyan reggae? Yes, by Ibrahim Hesnawi in a new compilation! In many countries, reggae was a widespread fad before its popularity gradually subsided. In Libya, however, the genre remained popular since its initial introduction in the late 1970s. Reggae’s thematic throughlines like references to Pan-Africanism, liberation, and the end of oppression and exploitation resonated—and continue…

My dad used to do interior design work for nightclubs and strip-clubs and got to know most of the jukebox maintenance guys, who would save the discarded 45s from the jukebox for him to bring home to me. Which meant that my childhood record collection was heavy on "music to strip to".
One of them was this record, "Honey Machine" by Canadian rock band Three's a Crowd, who broke up after being tired of being pigeonholed as a novelty band.
JACKIE MITTOO
Let's Put It All Together
1978 Canada reissue
One more from the great Jackie Mittoo as I wait for the swelling in my eye to go down.
The five song run here from Ram Jam to The Rattler is amazing.
JM records aren’t all that common to stumble upon.
Even reissues like this one go for about 40 CAD. #vinyl#vinylrecords#reggae#jackiemittoo#70s#70smusic#1970s#ska#dub
ELVIS COSTELLO
My Aim Is True
1977 Canada pressing
It’s Friday.
Welcome To (the end of) The Working Week! 😂
Still such a wonderful album. I’ve met Elvis on several occasions, and a better dude you will never meet.
His wife, being from the island, has been to our store many times, and they’re just great people. I keep trying to work up the courage to ask her to get Elvis to sign this for my wall, but I think I’d rather not. #vinyl#vinylrecords#powerpop#elviscostello#70s#70smusic#1970s

So sad.
I grew up listening to his music in the #70s because me mum was a Brit, and she liked him.
I still do karaoke of "The Last Farewell" and "New World In the Morning".
Interesting fact: Although a British citizen, he was born in Nairobi, Kenya. #70sMusic #70sMusicTaughtMe #RogerWhittaker #RIP
It's been a very long time since I used my fancy 5 disc autochanger and today marks the day that I start using it again! #Vinyl might be the cooler medium, but CD's are actually my favourite. I collected an amount of rare CD's or albums that are otherwise not available for streaming so that I can rip them and play the music on my phone. This way I also actually own the music, and I won't see it disappearing out of my downloads. (Buggles second album was taken down.)
My absolute favourite album by Yes, Gates Of Delirium is a brilliant track that doesn't overstay its welcome despite its 23 minute length. I love the "battle sequence" in the middle: it's epic. Maybe I like it so much because the album is very dense and up-tempo, I tend to lose attention if there's a lot of slow segments but this album keeps you in for the ride all the way through.
I have a lot of albums by #GrahamParker and #TheRumour but it still has to get to me properly. So far this album is really enjoyable, nicely upbeat and some really clear production. I get really positive vibes from this album!
Not my CD but I am borrowing it from a friend. Interesting album, but nothing really stayed with me yet, now that I have listened to it twice. It's just a tad funky and the vocals are akin to that of #OMD's lead singer in my opinion. I certainly will (have to) listen to this again!
Apparently the audio quality is supposed to be horrible on this live album, but it seems to be much better on the CD version than the vinyl version I have. What is there to say about this album? Good band, great live, and the best material from their best period. Great listen!
