    LISTEN HERE Unearthing Musical Gems from the Heart of London In the heart of London's Soho district lies a venue that holds a special place in the hearts of music enthusiasts: The Marquee Club. For decades, this legendary spot played host to some of the most iconic live performances in rock and roll history. While the club has long since closed its doors, the echoes of its glory days can still be heard through a treasure trove of live recordings. In this edition of Record Collecting Monthly Mix, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit 26 unforgettable live tracks, all recorded at the London Marquee club. From bootleg recordings to professional album releases, quality may vary. 1. "I Got My Mojo Working" - Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated (1962) We kick off our Marquee journey with a classic blues number that set the stage for many more electrifying performances to come. Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, often credited as one of the pioneeri...

  LISTEN HERE   I was always told never to make a compilation of music that was based around a specific word! I have seen the truth in that! Compilations and shows of this nature rarely have any coherance, and lyric-wise, what you think the song is about, can turn out to be something totally different. However, on this occasion, I'm prepared to make an exception! To thank all my 1000 followers on Mixcloud, here's a show that has 30 songs on the theme of '1000'! It's not a show for the feint-hearted, and if you have very narrow musical tastes, this will not be the show for you. But I'm guessing that most of you  1000 followers have a wide musical taste, otherwise you wouldn't be following my mixes in the first place! So here's some tracks, just for you, covering nearly 100 years of music, and having no limits as to what it covers. From jazz to punk, from Bing Crosby to The Stereophonics, open your ears, and enjoy this brief journey around the musical...
