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.

Soul Jazz - Disco Reggae Rockers
We were woken at 3am ish by a giant hailstorm so it's slow Sunday morning vibes here today. If you'd met me 10 years ago and said "hey listen to this reggae disco covers album it's really good" I would have passed. This album reminds me of being on holidays. Maybe to some this is a cheesy covers album but to me it's wicked and now one of my favourite go to records to pop on. The first disc is stronger imho.

Sister Nancy - One Two
It was a difficult week and I was feeling pretty shabby. But this morning my partner brought me a parcel back from the post office and this arrived. Yay! That gave me a little boost.
With a mechanic degree when this was recorded and then later an accountancy degree Sister Nancy was a powerhouse. Only woman DJ with a degree is the track I use to listen to on my playlist that made me go explore some other reggae and dancehall. Shocked to read it wasn't until 2014 she discovered she hadn't been credited for her work and took legal action.
Surprised this was a record store day release. I don't really buy record store day releases these days. But this one is tops! Well overdue for a repress and this pressing is stunning! 😍
