music still being made, music still being pressed on vinyl, music still getting sold....as ch1 mikey dread would say

vinyl is pressed and music is sold, that's not clue, the problem is we no longer have new jamaican music on vinyl.

Nice one Flo, will have a listen to some of those.I hadn't seen the Pork Eater tune before.
