Mr Bongo Compilation by Miche - With Love Vol 2
The other week we had to go to the urgent care vet. My cat was really sick. She’s 10 turning 11 this year and I was a wreck. I thought this was it and we’d be saying goodbye. She was indeed unwell but with twice daily meds and a chunk of my savings, she is improving. I decided I needed a pick me up and treated myself to an outing for fancy coffee and record browsing at the new Jewels of Thought in town. This album was blasting and I couldn’t stop swaying to it. It was an instant mood lifter. I went home and ordered a copy straight away. Packed full with rare soul independent gems this has been on high rotation in our house.

Hollie Cook - Self Titled

I bought this shortly after seeing her live at Womad 2024. It was a stunning performance on a tiny stage. She just oozes cool and chic. This is the repress of her 2011 album on Mr Bongo.

I had a procedure mid week and I have been feeling pretty rubbish. I sent my partner to our local record store to see if they had this is stock as a cheer up treat and they did! Woo whoo.

Bala Desejo are a Brazilian Group with a mix of sounds including the 60s and 70s Tropicalia, reggae and salsa. This record is stunning and out on Mr Bongo. I'm looking forward to seeing them live at womad.
