V/A – Britxotica! – London’s Rarest Primitive Pop And Savage Jazz – LP

Jonny Trunk says: “At the end of 2014 legendary DJ and tastemaker Martin Green approached me with a new idea about old music. He’d been amassing odd, rare and exotic British records for years and had come up with a plan. I’ve known Martin Green since the Smashing days of the early 1990s and have always trusted his taste and nose for the future past. If fact we did the Resurrection LP together way back in the 1990s. Anyway, I decided to leave him to it – he knows what he’s doing after all. I even let him write all the sleevenotes. So, below is his explanation of it all. And stay tuned for Britxotica Goes East!
