The drummer in my brothers band gave me a manky stack of 7″s a few years back. They had been liberated from a jukebox in a pub in Kilburn, London around 1978. These are some of the ones in a playable condition, there are still a few scratches though! This is less of a mix, more a selection of tunes that needed recording before they got into a worse condition, although I’m impressed that after several owners and thirty odd years they play at all…! So stick it on and get skankin’…!
