Groovin' lo-fidelity - hear the snap crackle 'n' bop shrouded in the time's hiss - the aural kiss of authenticity rescued from a market stall box where it languished with an assortment of other musics - priced at £2 - 10" 33 rpm - microgroove - maximum groove of dead hep cats dressed by the illustrator as high class types, bow ties an' all to gentrify the Jazz revolution - the jive junky waiting for his Man (Moose The Mooch) with contradictory stubble he (Charlie 'Bird' Parker) looking across at Dizzy Gillespie as if to say 'What?' - sepia cigarette smoke stained sleeve come down all those years since 1952 to land on my deck & sound as if it's still back there being played in a club whilst I stand outside...
