BULLFROG with KID KOALA 7" 4.50 While turntablist whiz Kid Koala is still working on his full length solo record, here's something to tide us fans over: the debut 7" from Kid Koala's band Bullfrog, a five piece group wherein Kid Koala does scratching duties. Reportedly Bullfrog cut a plate of original vocals, then during the recording, Kid K scratched them right into the mix! The effect is surrealistic, subtle and very very loopy, a perfect foil for the music, two tracks of which sound like a combination of turntablist fun mixed up with rare-groove/sweet-soul from the seventies. Plus, there's a third track that's all Kid K, doing more of what you've come to know and love on his now completely-unavailable "Scratchcratchratchatch" cassette. We firmly believe Kid Koala is one of the artists that is going to take turntablism into the Future; he combines a storyteller's ear with a songwriter's sense of compostition and of course turntablist chops that make lesser DJ's turn green. Due to Kid Koala's kindness and loyalty, Aquarius is the ONLY STORE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY to carry this very limited single. Take a listen, you won't be disappointed.

I had aquarius ship this out to me. I was plesantly suprised...It's not like Eric's scratchhappyland tape (all cut, all day)...He effectively fits in with a pretty good band, making the over all sound very interesting. $6 with the shipping...a good deal as far as I'm concerned. Oh yeah, it has a small rectangular sticked on it merely stating "with Kid Koala" which cracked me up. Best, -Ma'er... -
