KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in the Austin,Texas of 2019 for the Black Pumas' "Colors", first released as a single on the ATO label... "The Black Pumas are Adrian Quesada and Eric Burton, who met and became musical partners in Austin in 2017. Burton was spotted busking by a pal of Quesada's and after some time in the studio, a duo was formed. I'm not sure if the other musicians and singers they play with are permanent or not. I only heard "Colors" after their self titled debut LP was released and have since learned that it was a song Burton wrote prior to his meeting Quesada. Since first hearing this track, it has only grown on me, more and more." KV

 KOSMO's VINYL of the Week: This week we are back on Orange Street, Kingston, Jamaica, this time in 1967 for Prince Buster's All Stars' "Seven Wonders Of The World" first released as a single on Buster's Soulsville Center label... " I think this is the third Prince Buster to appear on my Vinyl of the Week and it will be the second one some of you recognise. This record is what The Specials (Special AKA) based their "Ghost Town" on and I have no problem with that. I have come to the conclusion that much of the music I love has come about by "call and response". Someone has an idea and records it, then someone else hears that idea and makes it their own and records it again. Along the way a whole new thing is made. This is not to be confused with a lame cover version, so if you can't make it your own, keep well away !" KV Silkscreen Credit - Jeremy Collingwood
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are back in Sun Recording Studios, 706 Union Ave, Memphis for Jerry Lee Lewis and his pumping piano's version of "Crazy Arms", produced by Jack Clement and first released as a 10" 78RPM record in December 1956... ""Crazy Arms" is a song with a murky background as to who wrote what and when, but regardless it was a huge hit for Ray Price in the summer of 1956. It was also the first song that Jerry Lee ever recorded for Sun and he can be heard on it in all his young glory - swaggering and defiant (something that can be heard on all his best recordings). Guy Stevens rated Jerry Lee above all the other rockers and after "London Calling" was released, his dream was to make a record with The Killer backed by The Clash. Alas, he never pulled it off." KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in Electric Lady Studios, 8th St, NYC, during the Transit Strike of 1980 for The Clash's "Magnificent Seven", first released on the 3 LP set "Sandinista"... "For Record Store Day II on July 17th, The Clash are releasing the one-time radio promo 'interview' LP, "If Music Could Talk", with a new cover by yours truly. I actually only did the front cover, shown here, but also contributed some liner notes for the back and can be heard on the record. In a shameless piece of self promotion, I have chosen "The Magnificent 7", one of the musical tracks on this release, which also features me as one of "The Magnificent Seven Rappo Clappers" (Joe's original title)."

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio, 639 Madison Ave, Memphis, in 1964, for Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs' "Wooly Bully", first released on the local XL label in December 1964... Led by Dallas-born Domingo 'Sam' Samudio, Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs were a 5 piece, formerly known as The Nightriders, who had become the house band at The Diplomat in Memphis. Written and sung by Sam, "Wooly Bully" (local hipster phrase meaning "good for you") appears to be a reworking of "Hully Gully Now" by Big Bo & The Arrows, although it was Sam who added it's Tex-Mex flavour ! In the early days of what was to become punk rock, this was one of the early 60s tunes that became very popular on that scene and the first copy I owned was a cover version by Eddie & The Hot Rods."
