KOSMO's VINYL of the Week

Chaka Demus & Pliers, "Murder She Wrote"

10/27/2017

Chaka Demus and Pliers
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
It's back over to Kingston, Jamaica and Chaka Demus & Pliers' 1993 "Murder She Wrote"...

"This was one of a clutch of hits that Chaka Demus & Pliers had on Sly & Robbie's Taxi Label in the early 1990s. A re-working of The Maytals' "Bam Bam" rhythm, first laid down in 1966. I don't know about anyone else, but I can clearly hear the late great Fats Domino's influence on the vocal, I can almost imagine Fats singing it!" - KV

The Shangri-Las, "Out in the Streets"

The Shangri-Las
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're off to the Cambria Heights neighbourhood of Queens, New York City for The Shangri-Las' 1965 "Out In The Streets"...

"Although I knew The Shangri-Las, I didn't know this track until it was introduced to me in the late 70s by Pearl Harbour, when she covered it live with The Explosions. Another George "Shadow" Morton produced, teenage melodrama masterpiece." - KV

Tyrannosaurus Rex, "Deborah"

Tyrannosaurus Rex
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're going back to the London of 1968 for Tyrannosaurus Rex's "Debora"...

"By 1968, Marc Bolan had somehow managed to transition from Berwick Street Market Mod to a Parisien Wizard's Waif. I never heard this until it was re-issued in 1972, when Bolan's Glam Boogie Bonanza was at full tilt. I must confess at first I couldn't stand it, but over time it won me over - what they used to call in the record business 'a grower'." - KV

"Washington DC" by Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron, Moving Target
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're going to exactly where I am, in a shameless display of self-promotion - it's "Washington DC" by Gil Scott Heron from his 1982 "Moving Target" LP...

"I'm in Washington DC for the opening of my one-man 'Cisco Kid vs. Donald Trump' art exhibition on Saturday, Oct 7th. I will be in DC's Columbia Heights neighbourhood for every weekend of October and at the same time I will have 4 postcards showing at Different Trains Gallery in Decatur, Georgia." - KV

    KOSMO's VINYL
    ​of the Week

    "The Record Shop is where I learned about the world beyond the one I had lived in. People like Curtis Mayfield, Lou Reed, Burning Spear and Fela Kuti showed me their worlds, its joys and struggles.
    I had never even heard the word "ecology" before Marvin Gaye introduced me to it!"

    - Kosmo Vinyl, New York City, 2014
