Over two decades since his last compilation on BBE Music, Jasper The Vinyl Junkie returns to the label with Vinyl Junkie Thangs a bumper collection of effortlessly cool, eclectic grooves for heads and feet...

Vinyl Junkie Thangs features sounds from the likes of Fred Wesley, The Fatback Band and DTrain’s Hubert Eaves alongside lesser known artists like Exile One, Ashantis and Funkshone. Also included is the occasional contemporary edit, remix and new creations. Material by the likes of Basement Freaks, OPOLOPO, Jkriv & Free Magic and Mr Scruff, much of which has never been available on vinyl before, blends in perfectly with the classic material, giving this album extra depth and fresh dimensions.

There's plenty here for everyone and it's an album that will grow with you. Your favourite song today will give way to another new favourite in a months time. If you're cool, you'll get it!
