If you're anything like me you'll buy pretty much any record from a foreign country provided it costs a dollar or less. I suppose this is cheaper than traveling for leisure, but still, it adds up – if only in stacks of embarrassingly bland pop vocal records sung in an exotic tongue. Anyhow, it was under these circumstances that I brought home a pile of Filipino lp's a while back. The listening sessions that ensue are by nature so disappointing that I tend to save the most promising looking finds for last. It's sort of a nifty trick because when the last 20 records were so bad that you actually pulled them off the turntable and pitched them across the room you're left in a vulnerable state with dangerously low standards. So it was with defeat hanging thick in the air that Relly Coloma came to bat…

Now this is such a familiar situation…. Only sometimes the rule won’t work, but in a positive way, which should teach us to play new blind-bought records on strictly random position?
Home Run!
