Dusty Fingers



The Dusty Fingers series of records is amazing. Compiled by a mysterious character called the "Dusty Kid", they feature obscure funky tracks, mainly from Europe, that are begging to be sampled. There are 12 volumes that I know of. Some people dislike D.F. because it reveals treasured, hard-won, and lucrative sample beds for others to plunder. It's amazing to me how much good music from the 60s and 70s has been forgottten..Listening to these tracks is like finding money in an old jacket pocket.
