Any love for Big World Small World here? I haven't listened in a while. My copy somehow didn't make it with me a few moves ago. But I have fond memories, particularly of "Move You Run" and "No Justice."

Um... the Carlton album is kinda brilliant. For years I've thought "It's a real shame that Smith & Mighty never made an album circa 1990, yet here it is, and Carlton's performances are all awesome as well.
Re Big World Small World, I only know the stuff that was included on Retrospective (including the above two songs) but I love those and keep meaning to check out the rest of the album.

not one for the drugz metaphors usually but seem to have developed a mild opioid addiction to this carlton record.

I'm sure it's perfect.
By far my most listened-to record this past month. I was gonna say "esp I Know and Indication To You" but then I look at the tracklist again and really, every song is amazing.
I think I'd always half-imagined a record like this existing, but sort of resigned myself to never finding the real fleshy thing.

It perplexes me that more people aren't retrospectively flipping out over this album. How can we promote the existence of this thread and its associated treasures.

Finally tracked down and am listening to the Carlton record after seeing Tim's recommendation floating around some random thread at some point. This is breathtaking stuff.

How good is it!?!?

It's so damn good. The only thing frustrating is that Google informed me about this: http://soul-vendor.blogspot.ca/2008/07/carlton-do-you-dream-1990.html
Which featured a 'Do You Dream Part 2: Can't Pay Won't Pay" - a dance marathon with lots of breakdowns, but the link is down b/c Meg4upl04d.

that 2 carlton tracks you posted are amazing. tried to download the album, but that link is dead...
also, because of that great 'essential mixes' thread, i've been listening to the smith & mighty one = absolute classic

I will upload the album again soon, this is one release I feel very passionate about proselytising.

heh i felt the same, upload is in process

perhaps a treat in the meantime
neither smith nor mighty, nor even english by the looks of it, but... god just listen to that

Ordered myself a copy of the Carlton a few weeks ago based on your proselytising, Tim. I say order it, to all curious. The highlights are posted here, but the whole thing is a beauty, really. And you can find it for cheap. Just glanced at Discogs and you can score one for a fiver or less. The CD goes for $40, curiously.

xp : that la rue (?) track is amazing. since i've obsessively listening to the s&m essential mix for the past few days, this whole thread makes absolute sense atm.
