Finders Keepers Records

Hey all you world music fans,

 I just found this awesome UK-based record label called Finders Keepers that specializes in rare world music vinyl reissues and that you "should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7" and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging " So if this sounds intriguing check out their mp3 section or if you're really into it and down to pay some international shipping (that is if you don't live in europe) definitely check out their vinyl selection. Down below is just a small sampling of some of their album covers.

That's all for now! Be sure to check out Sounds Imported Today (Feb 

14th 2010 on wvum.org and on 90.5FM in Miami.

Peace!
