Pink vinyl promotional 12” of the 1980 London produced dub/disco classic Love Money by Funkmasters

Black vinyl copy of Love Money by Funkmasters with a hand written message by presumably the original owner on the paper inner sleeve “ if you touch this with bare hands you will get a electric shock or a stiff one which ever you prefer?”

Other side of the inner sleeve with the handwritten message in biro “this tune boy 12 called love money by Funkmasters with Bo Kool” - maybe the message implies another promo copy ?

The day before President Mattarella's visit to Agrigento, Italy's City of Culture 2025, the council realised they hadn't resurfaced the badly potholed roads he'd use. They found €500k & got the work done in 24h. Now, they're using metal detectors to look for manhole covers that were tarmacked over.

Agrigento Capitale della Cultura, asfalto anche sui tombini per rifare le strade: ora li "cercano" con il metaldetector

La fretta ha giocato brutti scherzi agli operai che hanno rifatto il manto stradale per l'arrivo del presidente Mattarella e delle altre autorità
