Hello. As we all heard, Nelson Mandela died last night. So the #50pFriday album is a small homage: it's a brilliant 1950s long player from Guy Warren of Ghana, "Africa Speaks America Answers". It's a cheerful, clever and truly precient work. It can be found here. Rest in peace Nelson.

On a slightly less sad note, the BIG C is rapidly approaching and I've had many emails about the Trunk Christmas mix. Well, there is now a whole heap of super discounted Christmas folly and joy to be found in Jonny's Christmas Sack. There are three pages of bits and bobs, including the Chistmas mix CD, tee shirts, Trunk CDs from 99p, posters, new screenprints, all sorts, all very well priced. Have a look here.

There are also some new Trunk website updates, news of releases and a new gallery of school pictures sent in for the Classroom Projects album - some peculiar educational memories indeed...front page of the website is here.

I'm now off to the Spitalifields Record Fair for a quick lesson in personal hygene.

Have a good weekend.

Jonny
