‘Diggin’ In The Crates’ is brought to you by Ben Lewis, designer and record obsessive from Brighton. Ben can usually be found in a dusty corner of one of the country’s many second-hand record emporiums, rooting around in search of rarities and hidden gems.
McDonald and Giles – Tomorrow’s People
King Crimson’s rhythm section gets busy on a digger’s favourite. I love the sleeve, it looks like it was released in 1995, not 1970. Even the typeface (Eurostile bold extended? It isn’t is it)? is forward looking. And the first track on the LP is about Turnham Green in Chiswick.
Rodney P – The Nice Up
Rodney makes you dance, Michigan & Smiley samples, and the don of top class UK hip hop all the way. From 2004’s The Future LP. One of the originators of UK hip hop.
