This week has been a miraculous week for record shopping. From the brilliant Blackjoy mix of Monnette Sudler’s Baby Erik to the beautiful Soul Jazz repress of Eighties Ladies ‘Ladies Of The Eighties’ and on to this, or rather the comp from whence it came: Lagos Disco Inferno on Voodoo Funk. The compilation covers that particularly interesting [...]
