KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
"Maria" by Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster from The LP "Blue Saxophones"... "A DJ named Andy Dunkley (aka The Livin' Jukebox) turned me on to this record when we were on tour with Ian Dury and the Blockheads. It's been repackaged numerous times and it was introduced to me as "Blue Saxophones", but it's also been released as "Encounters", "Tenor Giants" and as part of "The Complete Sessions". I had never heard of either of these two masters and they were in complete contrast to the jazz Ian had recommended (Ayler, Kirk, Dolphy, etc). It's hardly cutting edge, but still, top-shelf musicians doing what they do best." - KV

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
New York Dolls "Personality Crisis" from the New York Dolls LP... "Like many others in London, I first encountered The New York Dolls when they opened for The Faces in 1972. Both their sound and their presentation took most of us by surprise and they didn't go over that well. Still, in their defense, The Faces' audience weren't interested in opening acts, whoever they were. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the sound of things to come." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
"Drop" by Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions from their release "Bavarian Bread Fruit"... "I never really paid attention to Mazzy Starr (probably should have) but I loved this whole record from when it came out and still do. It's really beautiful, from start to finish - I must have played it at least a thousand times." - KV
 KOSMO's VINYL of the Week: "Hypocrite" by The Heptones... "The Heptones at Joe Gibbs on an LP that also introduced me to Peter Tosh's "Maga Dog". They were the supreme Jamaican vocal group and, in their way, not unlike The Everly Brothers or The Impressions. But if you are going to make only one Heptones album purchase, get the Studio One release "The Heptones On Top" - as fine a record as money can buy." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Marvin Gaye "Trouble Man" from the soundtrack... "For some reason, the "Trouble Man" soundtrack is often overlooked not only as part of Marvin Gaye's output, but also when it comes to soundtracks. Following in the steps of Issac Hayes' "Shaft" and Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly", Marvin drops another great one. As for the movie, I've only ever seen a poor quality VHS copy in a smoke filled room with rowdy company - I'm not even sure if we made it to the end?" - KV
