Kenny Larkin - Loop 2

The follow up to this 12", released on R&S in 1996.

I couldn't believe that he LED with the drum'n'bass remix on A1, but it's a winner, courtesy of Mr 'Feel The Sunshine'. A brave move for such a techno bod I reckon. I fuckin love this mix, and was going through a wee d'n'b phase myself around this time. It cheekily starts and finishes with snatches of the regular mix as well...

I don't fucking believe it, had just finished ripping track A1 while I was typing that last paragraph, so leaned over to put the needle down to record track A2 and sent a full glass of red wine over the corner of a deck, onto the top of my open record box, splashing against the (white) wall, right down all the loose ones that were next to the box and I want to cry. Pretty much every record in the flight case (approx 100?) now has red wine stain somewhere on it's upper body. Now I've got a living room full of sleeves trying to dry their corners, an empty record box attempting to dry, and a heavy heart. An audience reaction sheet to a white label Finitribe Weatherall 12" white label caught it too. Aaaaaaggghh. Not even pissed as well - just a cheeky (large) glass to tan while doing this. What a clumsy cunt - this is about my worst booze-related vinyl damage ever and I am fuckin gutted. That's my Acid Ted t-shirt fucked as well (also white, of course) - it copped a load too.

Track A2 is called Life Goes On. How fuckin appropriate.

Track B1? Aye, Luke Slater in techno mode. It's a great mix. B2? The original. Off to cry now.

Bah...

I feel your pain. Once poured a glass of red straight into my new amplifier the night I'd bought it. Worked once it had dried out, but smelt a little fruity.

And since we're sharing our miserable moments, once in an awful storm my house was flooded. All my records (about 800-900 back then) were on floor level by the window that let the water in and all of them went under. I was in the house at he back so it took me a while to realize what had happened. There was no dry place to move them to, so I threw them on my couch in panic, just to wreck it as well. It was just water, I know, but all covers were fkd. The cheapest cardboard ones just filled the vinyl grooves with pulp - water and paper slime. It took me years to clean it from the 12"s.

Care-free vinyl handling has its drawbacks, it seems. We're all in this together.

Oh no! I've only managed to scratch records, as I did the other day. First play of a Waetherall remix and it's ruined.

That's bad. I've done similar accidentally to my record collection, though with bodily fluids...

*sigh* - the sleeves are all dry and kinda fucked now, and the flat smells like it usually does on a Monday morning. Oh well, at least nobody died...
