Topic: Honest Jon's

For your information, Honest Jon's record shop in London has a fine selection of blues and other interesting musics in its catalogue on LP and CD. I recently noticed they have some of the classic Yazoo country blues LPs at a reasonable price (?12, whereas most people offering vinyl seem to want to charge around ?22 these days). They also stock the Mississippi Records series and lots more besides.

I have always found their mail order service to be impeccable.

In addition to selling records, Honest Jon's also produces CDs of previously unreleased (in Europe and N America) recordings from different parts of the world. If you are at all interested in music from West Africa, check out its (his?) "African Pearls" series. Lots of wonderful music recorded in some of the most primitive recording studios you've ever seen, but soulful and danceable. Also, many recordings of live radio performances from Senegal, Mali, Ghana, etc. in the 60s/70s/80s.

I know you're slightly vertically challenged (compared with me that is), but even you wouldn't fit into a pedal car...
