hi there
i am love love loveing your current crop of Jam & Lewis ‘artistes’
@ this time i would try! to get a US import of many the 12” ers i was after and your blogs got many i tried to track down
you seem to be putting up a ‘dream box of records’ – in a way
and anyone ‘into’ Prince n all had plenty of vinyl !
ps
were u ever ‘into’ Teena Marie?
Never was in to Teena very much. Only 12″ by her that I have is Lovergirl. I definitely have LOTS of Prince related vinyl, there’s still plenty more to come here on the blog.
You O’Neal posts have been fab so far, but Alex-Baby-Wait-For-Me truly was on a roll starting with this single…hot jams released one after another from the parent album.
Criticize is my ultimate favourite, with this and What Can I Say To Make You Love Me as close seconds.
I was beginning to think you had lost interest! LOL Glad you are enjoying the Alex stuff.
no worries
your choices so far are waaaay fabulous xx
