KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week I'm back on Alexander Street, London W2, the original home of Stiff Records for Lew Lewis' "Boogie on The Street"... "Lew Lewis was in the original line-up of Eddie & The Hot Rods, but they kicked him out, probably for stealing the show - when I first saw them I thought he was "Eddie". How Canvey Island, aka "Oil City", produced not only Dr. Feelgood but also Little Walter reincarnate in Lew, is one of this world's wonderful mysteries. You'll want to crank the speakers for this one…" - KV

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Back to 1962 and a track from The Staple Singers' "Hammer and Nails" LP, titled "Hear My Call Here"... "No, I was not listening to Staple Singers LPs when I was five years old. Like many in Britain, I never heard of the Staples until they signed with Stax Records. But, for many years, I have often listened to a Sunday morning Gospel Music radio show called "Amazing Grace". I discovered this jewel there." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
"Down" (feat. Joi) by Run The Jewels from RTJ3... "As far as my two sons go, Run The Jewels are the current Heavyweight Champions. My eldest boy took me to hear Killer Mike speak a year or two back and I very much liked what I heard. Right now, "Down" is my favourite track from their third album, "RTJ3", but the whole thing is well worth an earball" - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Back to 1946 and some post WW2 exuberance from Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 in "Choo Choo Ch'boogie"... "FIrst owned this on a re-issue 45 with the "Saturday Night Fish Fry" on the other side, but when I lived briefly with Larry Wallis and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello's drummer) I played Pete's Louis Jordan LPs whenever I got the chance. If you ever sang a word of this incorrectly, Joe Strummer would be on your case with an immediate correction, regardless of the amount of Red Stripe consumed." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
"South African Man" by Hamilton Bohannon, from the LP "Keep On Dancin" on the Dakar label... "Hamilton Bohannon is probably now more famous for being named checked in Tom Tom Club's "Genius Of Love" than his own records, but in London for part of 1974 this was everywhere. For me it will always be part of the soundtrack to my early adventures in clubland and "going up West" (to the West End of London)." - KV
