Tango Mango was my favourite Can LP

This week a mate at work sent us a link to a Mr Thing radio show where he played some choice 45’s and the Mandrill tune below was spun (sampled by The Jungle Brothers many moons ago here).

Searching for the tune on youtube I noticed a reggae interpretation by the In-Crowd which I’d long forgotten about and what a tune! Anyone fancy crowd funding us £60 to buy it off discogs?

And while we’re there, the vocal of the track below was played on the show which is a tune but the instrumental is something else!

Quite apt, considering (or is it?)

Sun Ra – Springtime Again

First track played on an excellent Mr Scruff mix recorded at The Band on the Wall, Manchester on 6th April 2013. Very good stuff indeed and downloadable for free, how good is that? The 5 hour mix features some great stuff including the lovely Laura Mvula “Can’t live with the world” and Mandrill’s “Mango Meat” and some nice reggae instrumental business from Sir Niney and loads of other great gear. Top listening for a spring frosty morning (and you know it will be, so say the weathermen!)
