I got carried away with The Platters - I find I've bought two compilations (in the last couple of months), so I imagine senile dementia has started.
Today, I went into a CD shop called 'FOPP' and bought !Ay Caramba! x Ska Cubano. The store girls were playing it and we all said it made us wanna dance, and as it was the only copy instore I bought it. £15 - a king's ransom! I thought it might do for a bit of genteel private exercising, and I'm clearly on the right track, as the sleeve note reads:
'Like to bounce? :blink: Kinda nasty? Love risks? (How well these guys know me already, so soon.) Fuelled up by the tropical heat of Santiago de Cuba, rammed by the relentless up-'ching' of ska TRES and driven to the edge of sanity by the crazy melodies and galloping rhythms of the Caribbean, this is dance floor propellant with more octane than a skiing llama.'
I had to sit down and have a cuppa Tetley's after that exhausting intro - if I'm off-forum for a couple of months, it'll be down to overdoing my rumbitas and merengues. Ay, ay, ay.... arrrriva!
