This selection of tunes takes me back to about '86 i was still at school, Kiss FM was still a Pirate Radio station and Morgan Khan had cornered the market in Soul and Dance in the UK, I had just got my first set of turntables. I was into Electro/Hip Hop at the time, which according to those in the music business was only fad and would only be around for a few years!!!
The use of samples was becoming more popular with the likes of Public Enemy and Eric B & Rakim, this created a generation of crate diggers! DJs going through their parents record collections and second hand record shops looking for 60s and 70s soul and funk! The Likes of Norman Jay, Shake and Finger Pop and Quaff Records turned this into a whole new genre " Rare Groove".
This was the moment I really got hooked on vinyl!
This selection of tunes although are easy to come by now, but back then were well sort after and in my mind are still a great set!
