New! Two-cd of 1980s Chicago house. I was in Eastbourne, England, of all places, briefly in 1987. Which is where I picked up a cassette of Marshall Jefferson et al. A couple of plays and I was hooked. The cassette and the means to play it are no more. Time to stock up again. The UK's Soul Jazz Records has a well-earned reputation for the quality -- sound and content --of its catalogue of cds/lps. Check out their website for 1980s post-punk New York dance, Arthur Russell, New York-Cuban, Brazilian, and Jamaican music.
