Gilles Peterson's car!

[llmod1]

Just seen Gilles on Channel 4 news talking about his love of Brazilian music.

Apparently he swapped his car for a 45 he was after.

And we thought we had it bad!!

A Figaro?

Bless, a Nissan Micra, so trade value of seventy quid.

[ginghamkitchen]

It's a much better story than 'he wanted 70 quid so I went to the cashpoint'. Next time I go to Brazil I'm going to take three or four cars with me.

what was the single?

[ginghamkitchen]

what was the single?

It was that Russ Abbot one with the picture sleeve of him at the beach with Strawberry Switchblade and Elton John.

[left hand corner]

Single is Amazonas by Joao Donato.

Which is strange because its not rare.

It´s about the price of a Nissan Micra on Popsike, though.
I know Donato cut an earlier lp version, though. Maybe there´s a super rare 45 of that

[left hand corner]

The picture of the 45 he posted on his Instagram account was from 1973, so around the same time as the classic LP.

I doubt the story because I have the 45 and Im not riding the bus into work.

It's worth pointing out that there are still small corners of the world where cash is more acceptable than a Nissan Micra, although these are diminishing as the world veers more and more into 'Mad Max' territory.

True. there are also eras when a Nissan Micra would have been just the job for impressing the Libby Roberts Dancers after they'd finished covering that Russ Abbott record.

A Honda Jazz presumably...?
