Today my bag from amoeba included.....
Junior Murvin- "Police & Thieves" (1976) 12" LP, Junior is a classic reggae/dub artist who captured the restless civil war culture of the 70's. With problems occurring in Chile, Angola, Soweto, northern Ireland and of course Jamaica this record was claimed to really capture the moment on wax! Despite the quite serious subject matter the album is ridiculously catchy to the ear, Junior's smooth falsetto voice glides like a bird over the band's super tight rhythm section. The album's Single "Police and Thieves" was on England's version of the billboard The Melody Maker's top ten for 23 consecutive weeks, almost half the year!!! Like many others i first heard the great song not from Junior but from the Clash, The Clash boldly did their own arrangement of the classic song. I think this record is a must have for any reggae enthusiast, or an easy starting point for those who want to dig a little deeper in the reggae/dub world than Bob Marley or Peter Tosh.
Here's a rip of "Police & Thieves":

I also picked up....
Dead Meadow- "Old Growth" (2009)-
This was my first Dead Meadow purchase, the beautiful double 180 gram gate-fold vinyl was catching my eye for some time and also the record was released on the always trustworthy label Matador who have made quite a dent in the world of indie music, just recently coming out strong with artists such as Jay Reatard, Times New Viking, Fucked Up, Cold Cave and so on.... So with the Matador Label on the back I decided it would be a safe bet the i would play the grooves out of this thing. The record is defiantly for the headphones. "Old Growth" is very psychedelic, groove based, and stoner friendly! I'll have to admit i was hoping for a few more fuzz pedals and maybe a wah wah thrown in there some where but the album did not disappoint. Lots of Colors and Scenery, give a listen some time!

and for my third purchase...
Total Abuse- "Sex Pig EP" 200?
Wow, it's been a while since I've heard that much chaos, violence, frustration and noise on 7 inches of vinyl. The Sex Pig EP is defiantly a punch in the face. There's seems to be a influx of great hardcore bands coming out lately. You can defiantly hear the minor threat and black flag riffs in here but as if they were in a POW camp for 20 years and just released.
enjoy
