TRIPLE VINYL - 'Smokey Colour' vinyl
More Moodymann back in the world, hot on the heels of last month's reissues of Forevernevermore and Silence In The Garden. Back in print for the first time in over a decade, Black Mahogani is perhaps the most desired record in the b-c, probably because of the inclusion of 'Shades of Jae' (a perfect song? Yes), but it's also arguably the record that best captures the Kenny Dixon persona, spiky and sweetly reverential in tellingly equal measure. Given its spiralling combination of the lewd, the lascivious, the late-night lurking and cocaine-glamour lore, it's hard to imagine there's a party anywhere that wouldn't benefit from its addition. I won't be forced to choose between the children, though it is equally true that I chose to spend too much money on a first press of this back when I thought I deserved such things. The good news for you is that you need not face the same dilemma. Inevitably this one won't stick around long.
