Somewhere in Africa is this room filled with records…… My man Frank from Voodoo Funk sent me these photos of an untapped cache of records one of his buyers in Africa found. One can only imagine how long they’ve been there and what circumstances brought them there. Regardless, this is the type of thing record collectors dream of, and nowadays rarely happens. It’s sad to see so much music disposed of like this, but luckily it’s all being excavated and shipped off to the states where they will find new homes and new ears. Again, stay tuned for an African mix. Hopefully I can get to it this weekend.

Holey Hell – imagine walking into that! I think I already know what I’ll be dreaming of tonight.
UTTERLY INSANE.
That right there looks like heaven for any self-respecting record fanatic. I wonder how many days it took to go through everything?
Something tells me they’re still going through it all.
