Duncan Harvey - Make Yourself Comfortable



While digging in the dusty 50 cent crates in The Record Store in Berlin, I came across a 7" that prompted me to write a note, which reads: “Chris' 45 blog - 'make yourself comfortable', open with Sarah Vaughan tune, with the theme being ‘schmaltz orchestral soundtrack’”. 

Much of what you hear in this mix was found either in Germany in the summer of 2013, or in Oxfam Music on Byres Road in Glasgow. The only exception to this is Rotary Connection's Turn Me On, which I bought in Sounds of the Universe in 2005 for the flip, which is a cover of Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone.
