Jill Scott - Golden (Sir Piers ‘Curious’ Main Mix) [White]
Of all the remixes of this song, this is my favorite. Only a few white label copies were pressed in 2004, but you can still grab yours on Discogs.

Sofia Rei Koutsovitis - El Llo [World Village]
I had the pleasure of hearing this talented Argentine singer live in Barcelona on Sunday night in a mesmerizing outdoor venue in Plaça del Rei. This concert was part of the Grec 09 Festival.
Sofia will be performing in NY on July 26 at the Blue Note with Eric Kuminski, and on August 5 at SummerStage with Pedrito Martinez.
This track is from her latest album Sube Azul, which doesn’t seem to be available online yet. However, her debut album Ojalá is available on iTunes.
Below is the artwork for Sube Azul and a photo I took at the concert in Barcelona.

No es el color de tu pelo puedes cambiarlo otra vez No es el perfurme perfecto que va dejando tu piel lo que me tiene atrapado ya no lo puedo entender es el sabor de tus labios que me hacen enloquecer Ya los bese una ves y ahora me cuesta creer que son los mismos labios que besaba ayer Ya los volvi a besar y ahora me cuesta pensar que es la misma boca que deje pasar Dulce... que dulce esta tu boca pero dulce mas nada me provoca solo es dulce que dulce esta tu boca pero dulce mas nada me provoca No se que pasa conmigo (no lo se) pensando en ti una vez mas (una vez mas) siempre t eh pertenecido (solo a ti) no lo eh kerido aceptar lo que me tiene atrapado y ahora lo puedo entender es el sabor de tus labios que me hacen enloquecer Ya los bese una ves y ahora me cuesta creer que son los mismos labios que besaba ayer Ya los volvi a besar y ahora me cuesta pensar que es la misma boca que deje pasar Dulce... que dulce esta tu boca pero dulce mas nada me provoca solo es dulce que dulce esta tu boca pero dulce mas nada me provoca Dulce... que dulce esta tu boca pero dulce mas nada me provoca solo es dulce que dulce que dulce mas dulce que tus senos

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime (Yam Who? Remix) [Sony]
Remember this tune? What do you think of this remix? I don’t think this was ever released officially. I have it on a bootleg 12” that lists “Children Of Swing” as the label, and COTS12001 is the catalog number.
