Good morning groovers, do you remember our samplers?
We used to make them to suggest listening to the lp’s
the numbers come from. Every track refers to an album
posted here in the past. I stopped making them when
webhosters started to throw away our precious files but
from now they are back, you can count on that. The
numbers on this one come from lp’s posted halfway
2011 so there’s a whole lot of catching up to do.
For now, here’s volume 43, enjoy..
