KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
"Hong Kong Blues" by Hoagy Carmichael... "The first time I visited Ian Dury and Denise Roudette at their cold-water flat, "Catshit Mansions", they played me this record. To be honest, I didn't realize it was from the Bogart & Bacall movie "To Have & Have Not" - the version in the flick is the cleaned-up version without the "Sweet Opium" reference, which really explains the rest of the lyric. I also didn't know until much later how many great songs Hoagy Carmichael had written, and my favourite versions are mostly the ones sung by him. You can't go wrong with a 'Best Of' from this cat !

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Willie Bobo's "Fried Neckbones and Home Fries"... "One of the great things about being a record hound in New York City is the amount of used Latin Records. In the 1960s, Latino musicians started playing Latin-influenced soul music, which is sometimes referred to as "boogaloo' or "bugalu". Willie Bobo was master and a huge influence on the first Santana LP, supposedly Santana played a version of "Fried Neckbones" at Woodstock in 1969." - KV
KOSMO VINYL of the Week:
Slim Harpo "I'm A King Bee" on Excello... "When Dr. Feelgood were on the rise in London (circa 1973/4) I started buying early 1960s Beat Boom records. I first heard "King Bee" on the first Stones LP, as a cover, and they probably first heard it from Guy Stevens' record collection. Ted Carroll's record stall on Golborne Road was probably where I first heard Slim Harpo's "untouchable" original version on Excello." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Brian Eno's "Baby's On Fire" from his "Here Come The Warm Jets" LP... "The first two Roxy Music LPs and singles were a hybrid unlike anything that had come before them and much of the credit for that must go to Brian Eno. On his first solo LP, he was still in the Glam mode and it's well worth an earball." - KV
