Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

bob, your recollections are just wonderful. it's really cool you could share that with us.

Yes, I am extremely chuffed to be in JP's personal collection - but I
wonder if he, or anyone else realises it's not a Jamaican thing - though it's listed on a few internet sales sites as that - in fact it was made in London, and mixed by Dennis Bovell's studio guy."

He thinks the label changed the name so as not to be confused with I Roy.

Lily White Mama / Jet Black Daddy

075 B - Paul Blake - Flat out

(note to myself : 126 A need MP3 version)

052 Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Isle of Capri (OR If I ever Cease To Love)

the documentary showed If I Cease To Love as the version in the box.

EXTRA:
The contributions from Bob Robinson & Chris Leeds are much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to personalise our humble little project. (Good work patita!)

The documentary will be seeding later today, all being well.

047 Jerry Byrd - Memories of Maria

can be found on a very cheap "country instrumental" compilation CD, which i'd be glad to pick up soon unless someone has the actual 45 (the b-side is not included in the CD)

072 Nilsson - Kojak Columbo

is on a pretty bad Nilsson record called "Duit on Mon Dei", again available pretty cheaply, I think.

081 Revelino - Step on high

I think I recall someone saying they had this..if not, the CD single is all over the place.

086 Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2

Very curious about this one--don't think it's ever been anthologized. Caro was a Cat Stevens protege.

090 Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies

my vote for hardest single to find on the list

I'm pretty sure someone has the Revelino, and that it is en route?

I'll second the vote for Sipho Bhengu being the hardest to find. If anyone has South African or New Zealand contacts (he was popular there, it seems), this is the time to call in a favor.

it cost me 79p (plus postage) but hasn't turned up yet...

PRESS STATEMENT BY INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY

MURDERED IFP MAYOR TO BE BURIED ON SATURDAY

Durban: February 17, 2005

The IFP's KwaZulu-Natal Spokesperson, Mr Velaphi B. Ndlovu today announced that the Mayor of Imbabazane Municipality, Mr Sipho Bhengu, who was shot dead last Saturday evening, will be buried on Saturday, 19th February 2005.

The funeral will take place at his family home, KwaDlamini, in Ntabamhlophe and will begin at 10h00. (Ntabamhlophe is approximately 20 km's outside Giants Castle in KwaZulu-Natal.)

A high ranking delegation of IFP leaders will be present at the funeral to pay their last respects to Sipho Bhengu who has always been a shining example of what true service to the community really means.

The delegation will include the IFP's National Chairperson Dr Ziba Jiyane, the Secretary-General Rev. Musa Zondi, the Deputy Secretary-General Prof. Themba Msimang, the IFP Women's Brigade National Secretary Ms. Zanele Magwaza and KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Spokesperson Mr Velaphi Ndlovu, among others.

"Sipho Bhengu (41) surely died the way he would have wished - in the middle of a concert and without any major trauma. He was appearing with the mbaqanga group Soul Brothers at a concert at King’s Park stadium to celebrate the first anniversary of Isolezwe, Independent Newspapers’ Zulu-language newspaper.

Soul Brothers was the last group on the programme and afterwards Sipho asked another member of the group to support him because he suddenly felt dizzy. He then collapsed and died before the emergency services arrived. "

I've got some other info about him if you scroll up, including a warning to googlers that there's another Sipho Bhengu.

i'll happily chip in if someone wants to buy that cajun cd. i can do paypal but am geographically challenged when it comes to buying american cds (postage and insurance costs on that one site effectively double the price of the cd)

that nillson cd varies wildly in price ($11.40 - $30.00):

but, again, i can chip in.

Can't explain why, but I love the Mighty Avengers track. The White Stripes are everywhere, but they are just so ******* good!!!

Thanks for the offer. Three from anything not posted in the last seven days would take me three nearer to the set. Possibly something like Golinsky Brothers, Galactic Symposium & Charlie Feathers would be excellent as I don't know any of them. Like your listed tastes in music by the way.

Out of all the tracks available on John's Dandelion label, he urged me to listen to "The Asmoto Running Band" by Principle Edwards Magic Theatre. It may not have been a 45 and hence not in the box. He thought the song was slightly insane but strangely wonderful. It's worth a listen!!!

Regards

Bob
