Hi guys,

I'm a very recent recruit to the 'I cant help digging in bargin bins for records' club, my girlfriends mightily pissed off with the extra records cluttering up the place but hey, f**k her...

Anyway I havn't been diggin long (infact I only started 2 weeks ago!) i saw a T.v/film OST from 1980 called JAMES CLAVELL'S 'Shogun' and it say's on the back the music is by the same guy who did 'DR Zhivago' (which had some decent samples on it)

However it wasnt in the bargin bin and was priced £7 (which i think is about $5)

Anyone here know what record I'm talking about? is it worth the money samplewise or is it a load of c**p? The cover looks pretty cool as well but we all know that dont neccassarily make a dope record!

If you're seriously into digging, you should consider gettin a portable turntable. That way you can listen to the record before you buy, even if the shop doesn't have a turntable.
You can sometimes pick up cheap portables at fleamarkets.
Since you're in Birmingham, you can check these out....
