    Yep - a while ago. I love that label...and the work of Choker Campbell.

    K.

  • The Four Mints- row my boat

    Both sides ??? incredible! I always pick this up when I find it, 3 different label issues (I think) no wonder, ??? I always have a small stack, been giving this as a gift for years.

    3 different? I only have this on Capsoul, what are the 2 others??

    1. Gene Harris & the 3 Sounds / S/T
    (UA press in awesome shape, with Hey Girl and Put On Train and all that)

    2. Nite-Liters / Analysis

    3. JBs / Watermelon Man 45

    4. Pharaohs / Awakening

    5. Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford / Nobody 45



    and a last-minute add on the revival funk tip: Speedometer's "Work It Out" 45. tough.

    Dante notes two on his site , Capsoul & Loren; the Capsoul issue was pressed at least twice, with different label designs. I swear I've seen it on one other label though.

    You like this?

    Yup. There are some fantastic sounds on that album, and some pretty cool covers as well. I didn't really know much about it, picked it up because it looked interesting, and was pleasantly surprised. I've mined it pretty consistently for stabs and drum hits and stuff like that.
