Please don't stop making videos... last year you introduced me to records that have become my absolute favourites... like Sunborn, Poetic Justice and First Light. Thank you so so much.

Opened my eyes and realized it was cloudy rainy and just plain oooo blah .... thanks for the great samples Paul!!!! Have a wonderful week my friend- Lis 🎶☮️🙏🏻😎

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Liz! Nice to see you dropping by again. Hahaha, I can imagine the disappointment when looking at the weather outside. Still feels good the music made you dance. I somethimes feel they made music to make you feel good what ever the circumstances. And it works :) All the best. Cheers. /Paul

Fantastic video. Thanks for highlighting these gems !

Hi Andrew! Thanks for the kind words. Hope all is well and thanks for watching. Cheers. /Paul

So many incredible rarities! Even with all the wear and tear they are fantastic, it's a wonder some of them have survived at all. I always thought juju music was pronounced like joojoo but perhaps it is yooyoo...that's the trouble when you never hear anybody say these names out loud...ha I was going to say Fela has so many records because they are only two songs each, sounds like this album he was trying for just one! All the best, cheers!

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Doug! Hahah, as you say, we hardly ever hear these names out loud. For years I have wrongly pronounced certain artist names. To be honest I never checked juju. This time you got Dutch-English version :) You solved the Fela mystery. He probaly had just enough material for 10 to 12 songs. To make some money he cut 5 albums ;) Have a great week. Cheers. /Paul

Hello Paul, thanks for sharing thony adex, I wasn't familiar with this artist...sounded great on the clip. cheers mate

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Chris! Nice surprise to see you stopping by. Hope all is well. Thony Adex is a great discovery. I started with his volume 4 release, but it is volume 1 where all the magic is :) All the best. Cheers. /Paul

[@hatripekala4983]

Hello Paul, that Adex record sounds and looks so cool, omg, also Orlando was stand out for me. I want to hear that twenty minute live version of that percussion part you were dreaming of, hahaa. You have had Tutto passa on the wall for a while, whats your take on it? Moi!

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Petri! Imagine being at a club and they played that tune for 20 minutes. Hypnotizing :) I was checking out Gianni Brezzo latest release. And discovered I missed his earlier release. In the end I liked Tutto Passa best, and bought it :) Hahah, now I have to remove it ;) All the best. Cheers. /Paul

[@kpskips]

No uploads in 7 months 😢....i miss your musical influence

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi. Sorry to say life got in the way. Hope you're still buying vinyl records ;) Cheers. /Paul

[@bazedjunkiii_tv]

interesting selection this. guess i need a few african records as well. and btw - is anyone madly offended by the new youtube layout as well? like, how ridiculous is it to push the comments and info box to the side?

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi! Me guess also, you need some deep African grooves ;) These rhythms are hypnotic. Good to hear it is no only me not liking the youtube layout. I thought I messed up some setting. Have a great weekend. Cheers. /Paul

[@reviewP]

WOOOW Paul Nice to see you in action again! gogogogo @reviewp

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Peter. Hope you are having a great weekend. At the moment it feels outside like it is 25 degrees. The good times are coming :) Cheers. /Paul

[@rodneywyatt9441]

Great video as always! Another fire track from Fela was a tune called "Eko Ile". Wow😊

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi Rodney! Thanks, always appreciate positive feedback. Got to check "Eko Ile". I doesn't ring a bell immediately. All the best. Cheers. /Paul
