Deal or no deal

Robert Dyas are selling off all their Sutton seeds range for half price at the moment as it’s coming up to late summer. Look out for some bargains as it applies to whatever veg and flower seeds they have left in their stores. That isn’t bad considering you can save the seed until next year if you’ve missed out on the suggested sowing period and who knows what global warming will bring in the form of weather later this year if you want to take a chance on a late sowing.

I picked up a bargain in the form of a pack of five different herbs on something called a seed mat which you stick straight into a pot of seed compost. So that’s some Parsley, two types of Basil, Coriander and Chives for the pots on the kitchen windowsill, not bad for £1.37! Keep em peeled!

Dread, beet an’ blood

Leroy Sibbles – Ain’t no love (Rock Jam)

I got this gem of a tune last weekend for a quid at the nine elms sunday market in vauxhall. I only found out about the market by accident while queueing for the cashpoint when I noticed loads of people walking past carrying blue plastic bags full of dubious food content.

It’s a massive market selling all sorts from trainers, power tools with bits missing, gardening tools, unrefrigerated meat products, the odd stall selling records and one selling big boxes of very ripe beetroot for “two pounds, a bargain mate!” The market is also as rough as, and the only one I’ve been to that has security guards and ones who roam around in twos. God forbid what would happen if you were caught shoplifting!

This twelve inch from 1978 was wedged between some king jammy’s digital business and as the label was printed so off centre and also that I knew of mr sibbles from the great heptones I decided to take a chance for a quid. It was only when I got it home I recognised the tune from a brilliant mikey dread “dread at the controls” C90 recorded off the great man’s radio shows in jamaica from the late 70’s. Tune!

A market to go to have a butchers at but one to keep your head down in. Be warned, unrefrigerated meat products can kill!
