Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank [Maxi-Single]: 8 (A-)

Really an EP, with four tracks at 20 minutes. I got this so that I had the title track, before I went ahead and got You've Come a Long Way, Baby.

The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole: 8 (A-)

Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars: 8 (A-)

Sam Fan Thomas - Sam Fan Thomas [Kanibal/Sonodisc, 1986]: notation

I believe that this is the album that AllMusic guide reviewer John Storm Roberts lists as Si Tcha, which is the lead track on the pictured album. Although he has the date as 1994, he indicates in his review that the album is originally from the mid-1980s, so this is probably it. Anyway, Hull seems to have this as reissued in 1994, although there is no record of that on Discogs, but that's another indication that this is what Roberts was reviewing.

Anyway, I found a copy online for dirt cheap and was very excited to get it and play it, but when it arrived the disc inside was Makassi, which is a different album entirely and I already have. Oh well, I got a full refund and will retain this as a keepsake. I could not find the tracks anywhere to download and play, so thus far it is unheard by me. The lead track is also sometimes listed as "Sitcha," I believe, to complicate matters further.

Bob Bert - Beach Bongo Bloodbath: 7 (B+)

More of an EP really, at 26 minutes, but with 14 tracks they call it an album.
