Behind The Counter is our new series of films in which our favourite record shops run down their top 5 vinyl releases of the week. Following last month’s trip to Kristina Records, we dropped in on Nicole McKenzie and Theo Leanse at Sounds Of The Universe in Soho for a typical morning of roots reggae, gospel boogie and Spanish new wave.

Here’s what Sounds Of The Universe recommended:

* Exiles – “Fussing and Fighting” (Exile)

* Various Artists – Overdose Of The Holy Ghost (Z Records)

* Finis Africae – A Last Discovery: The Essential Collection 1984-2001 (Em Records)

* Circuit Diagram – “Pudel Produkte 20” (Staatsakt)

* Blludd Relations – “Cold Like The Baron” (S.O.T.U)
