Records from my personal collection for your enjoyment.

25 cent pick up at my local thrift store! can’t go wrong with Sergio! I read some posts the Larry Levan used to freak this at the Paradise Garage!  And a little bit of trivia for you, this was written by Stevie Wonder.

For you Pete Rock fans- no need to explain.

Another thrift store bargain! I actually listened to the whole record- not bad

the baby sound you hear is not part of the song(it’s my kid, but I left it in the video because I liked how it sounded within the song. Can I say REMIXXX !!!  hahaha

I see little tennis shorts every time I see this album cover. Yes Wake me Up Before You Go was the first song I ever heard from this group. It was a mixed feeling on how I felt about that song. Part of me was really liking it and the other was saying, ” You’re not supposed to like that because you listen to AC/DC and Judas Priest!!” Yeah, hard rock was the way to go back then until I embraced it and accepted it that it really was a good (catchy) song. Keep in mind I was about 12 years old and there really isn’t much a 12 year old would know but just trying to find an identity for himself. Now this particular song, Everything She Wants   - heard the bass line and was instantly hooked. “Now this record kicks ass for sure I said!” Since then, I have always been a fan of George Micheal. I was very pleased to be able to work on a project for George years later in the studio along side legendary producer Tony Moran. The man that introduced me to iced coffee. Mocha to be exact.Thanks Tony!

Everything She Wants

Wham! – Make It Big
Columbia – FC 39595
LP   1984

Better known for ” I Got a Man”, I can now realize how this record has been missed through the years. C’mon,yeah baby c’mon the video with the Gucci jacket,flat top,4 finger ring, and the dancing on the rooftop! It’s an all time classic. Pos K was also know for the duet with MC Lyte “I’m Not Havin’ It”. Thanks to Uncle Ralph and Video Music Box for showing these videos back then. Always good memories and good music


Positive K – Step Up Front

First Priority Music – DMD 1229
1988

This is an all time classic for all of you house heads out there!! A must for every party. Although it is a record from the 90’s, for some reason I thought it came out in the late 80’s. I can never get tired of listening and dancing to this jam-always a favorite at every party

Cameo of my baby making sounds in the background (yeah she get’s into it!)

Aly-Us-Follow Me

Follow Me (12”)     Strictly Rhythm     SR1288

1992

Heard this back when Letigre shirts were poppin. Pin stripped Lee jeans,members only jackets and fat laces were the norm. And the ladies with their skippies and jordache jeans !!!  Let’s not forget the gold playboy bunny plate:

Breakdancing was taking front stage as the world was taken back to this new dancing. Some called it a fad, some just dissed it all together. Fast forward to present day 2011 and it’s still a popular drink!

G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid – Play That Beat Mr. D.J.
Tommy Boy Music – TB 836

I didn’t even like this record when it came out !!! What was I thinking this kicks ass

Foreigner – Urgent
Atlantic – 3831
Vinyl, 7”, Single, 45 RPM

BDK all day!!!- I looked for many years for this record. I wanted it to be on the Prism label and I was finally able to find it for a steal!

When I first heard this track, back in the high school days, I lost my mind. My buddy had it on cassette tape.[yes before cd’s and mp3’s] You know I had to borrow it to make a copy!
