As for the "what's on your turntable now ?" topic...

This morning harvest is :
[cover=258,284] [cover=4970,1476] [cover=668,786] [cover=1914,2265]
(french pressing Amo Records on an ugly cover for the Hortense Ellis & Derrick Morgan LP)

[cover=1977,2333] [cover=151,158] [cover=2425,2794] [cover=46,45] [cover=699,816] [cover=50,49]
and a Pioneers not listed on R-A on the Taretone label.

So mainly classics from 1€ to 9€ each one, mostly in excellent shape.

This was the last one I bought. One week ago.

I've finally managed to cut down on buying music. Usually I buy 4-5 albums a week.

[cover=6492,4468] for "Ohoi"

and Ken Bob's "Reggae rider", for "Lovely lady"

Bob Marley's brilliant Babylon By Bus. But this one is an original pressing on Tuff Gong! Not delivered yet (UK postal strike) so I haven't played it.

The last LP I bought that I have actually cleaned and played is:

That Pusherman LP you got there anbessa is quality. One of my very long time favourite LPs.

And like Kalcidis, I've also been back in vinyl rehab. I've only bought a few records lately - only seven of them all month so far!

My latest method for `attempting to control my habit is top try only to buy EX+ or Mint- records. Which of course are very rare and expensive which in itself helps curb my habit.

P.S.
WOW kalcidis...I always wanted that album!!!
Can anyone give me a hint as to how it sounds or if it's similar to another album.

What's so nice about it is that I bought it for slightly less than £10 (at a Swedish record fair). Near mint condition. It really made my week.

As you might have noticed it's three different engineers going at some heavy and criss Al Campbell rhythms. The engineers are Scientist, Barnabas and Maxie and even though I might lean towards Scientist as the winner Barnabas and Maxie still do one hell of a job. Basically it's a dub album with ruff tuff an too raatid hard hitting rhythms that has the mixing in focus. One of the better 80's dub albums I've heard I think.

Hopefully Silver Camel is going to re-release this one because it's a fantastic album.

Nice...sounds good kalcidis! Let's hope they re-press.
I'd love to hear those Barnabas tracks.

Yes Leggo, I aggree with you, Pusherman is one of the best Pioneers, i found it few months ago and i was surprised when i put it on my deck. But most of their work is pretty good anyway.

I nearly don't try to control my buying habit, only by putting a limit for the price, very rarely more than 10€ and up to 20€ when I really really want it (shipping cost included when it's on the web but i mainly buy from hand to hand), like this one last week :
