It's all in the Groove!!!

Most kids hate to be dragged around visiting families houses when they are 7 year old kids, I used to hate it with a passion! Then one day it dawned on me that it wasn't so bad... I discovered that while the old fogies were shooting the breeze I could rummage through my cousins' record collections. I started discovering 7" vinyls with these awsome looking labels, Tamla Motown, Trojan, Pama, Stax, Bluebeat, Dynamic.....badda-bing! There was no stopping me. I must have looked a prize dumpling, 9 years of age skanking round to Nora Deans 'Barbwire'... The Elgins 'Heaven must have sent you', Dave and Ansell Collins 'Double Barrell', Temptations, Chairman of the Board, Eric Donaldson. Then I stumbled across a compilation of seriously great reggae tracks...'Tighten up Volume 1', then it was onto 'Club Reggae Volume 1'...dragging my poor mom around town trying to get a Crombie overcoat and loafers...it was difficult to get them to fit a 10 year old! she managed in the end god bless her cotton socks. So I suppose everything that ends up on here, one way or another, you can blame on the fact that the pubs were not open all day on a Sunday back then....lucky for me, maybe not for you lot!!!!
