[Thesiger]

I make it A - 51; B - 26.

[Matty Red Sox]

I make it A - 51; B - 26.

Yeah, I make it something like that, B was Matty Red Sox ... to save Griff time: Matty Red Sox Yanked, or maybe Sox Swept. Thanks to all who supported me.

BTW - the above aren't exactly the canon. I was your last hope... and there was more... I think I figured out who my opponent was. Damn he's good at this.

[Count Machuki]

Tough one, Matty, especially after you kicked my ass. I wish we could have combined our lists to create the unstoppable list that could have taken 'A' down. Ah, well.

[Matty Red Sox]

:shock:

I think I actually went up against one of my old lists!

[Never/Ever]

Gotta admit I was surprised that this was your list, Mr. Sox.
Pepe Kalle, The Church and the Boo-song are killer.

People seem to think that I have the Stones, Who, Beatles, and Ramones on 24/7. I even used the Radleys song on previous lists. My list used only things that I have on vinyl... on the other hand, there's about 10,000 CDs that I also could have chosen from... my African music selections would have been much broader if I used digital, it's amazing how hard it is to find vinyl copies of most African artists.

have a look at this label - the Nigeria Special series are available on vinyl with extra tracks in most cases - superb music, sleeve notes and packaging. There are a lot of fans of this stuff on BCB and who knows, it might've been worth a further 20 points

I've got that one and the Ghana Sounds... these are awesome compilations... I guess that I should have been clearer, finding original single artists on African label vinyl is really hard... the Pepe Kalle was one of the hardest things for me to locate... and it's not even my favorite by him... this is his awesome album...



with this song...


It would have been easy for me to win, I handicapped myself by declaring that I would only add a song to my list if I had it on vinyl. The NYC BCB'rs saw me purchase the LP with Jigsaw on it.... as well as another future late round pick that will be aborted ... Go All the Way...

.


You coulda had more!

[Never/Ever]

I remember seeing a lot of African LPs in France and Holland where they sold from anywhere between a few sou to quite a packet. Especially the French-speaking African artists seemed to be easier to get through France. Was happy to pick up Bopol's Samedi Soir in a sale in Montmartre years ago and, through several Dutch stores with a great world selection could buy hot African (and Arabian) albums for a decent price...but that was back in the 80s and 90s.
I saw those Kalle-albums a lot in those days and the (bad) CD-prints of them were dirt cheap at one time. Amazing that they're hard to find nowadays.

[Snarfyguy]

Fucking hell, you and Brian both got absolutely housed.

[Matty Red Sox]

Fucking hell, you and Brian both got absolutely housed.

Yep, still when you went out, we all knew that the rest of the board's taste was questionable.

Good luck to Mike, I mean my opponent!

[Count Machuki]

Fucking hell, you and Brian both got absolutely housed.

I thought we'd see the both of them in the final, tbh.

As if NYC needs another thing to be uppity about.

[Harvey K-Tel]

It was that NY hubris that brought you down.

[Matty Red Sox]

No, it was a lack of votes.

[martha]

Well fuck. That's all my interest in the cup gone.

[Harvey K-Tel]

Well fuck. That's all my interest in the cup gone.

Thanks for comin' out!

[Purgatory Brite]

It serves Matty right for including George Jones
