Found some more fun stuff yesterday...
Tierra - had to pick this one up. The sticker on the front said "Super latin jazz rock" It has a few cool moments. and yep they cover all the styles the sticker says!Shaft in Africa - ClassicCharles Loyd - Cool Blues and jazzRollerball - I got to see the movie, mostly classical but has some funky momentsHeadhunters - Another classicAir - Great backing music, but the vocals on this one started to wear on me.
Both Eddy Senay records are great classic funkThe soundtrack? - Filled with both countrywestern and some funk. Even has a car chase theme.
Some strange rap records that i havent opened yet. Anyone familiar with these?Bobby Powell - Awesome version of Funky BroadwayFred Munnings Jr - Very funky travel record
The Noteables - Sounds like a practice session for a james brown song, but with white guy vocalsPrecisions - Very nice soulSwamp People - One of my favorites of the finds. Rhythmic funky rock? even has a break, if that matters.Harvey Mandel - Cristo Redentor is always a great listenAphrodites child - From the "666" album?Shuggie Otis - I need more of this guys stuff!

every time you post in a finds thread it is like you went to a record show haha
and i am not mad at that
Hey
What record is that, upper row, second to right?
It has the same cover as Sounds of soul, on Themes (library record).
Peace
The title track had previously been released on the Cleopatra Jones OST ...
That Goombay joint seems potentially exciting but kinda sucks.
will you trade that Notables 45?
same label as funky constellation breaks, bytheway
listen to airLP again (and again) if the vocals get on your nerves, thees a good chance you arent human
nope-- one of their early 45's
most of their French 45's from that period have a really killer b-side to go with the overly dramatic ballad on the a.
my fav is "air" - on the b-side to "spring, summer ..." --- Frickin' heavy drums!!
"you always stand in my way" is also great...
That one's Electra Glide In Blue OST - definitely worth it for the chase theme. I think it was recorded by members of 'Chicago'?! Someone here can confirm that
Cheers,
Tom
Doesn't suck at all. More disco than funk but pleasant nonetheless. Usually comes with a picture sleeve.
love rap is a good find
ha ha, something about her tone, cant quite pinpoint it. i'll have to give it a second chance. What would you describe eddy senay as? Just out of curiousity.
I know this has come up before, but am I the only one here who thinks that rekkid blows?
As far as I know, members of the group play on a couple of the tracks but there aren't any by the group as a whole. Couple of them have extended cameos in the film as well.
I haven't heard it in a long time but I remember not thinking anything of it the first time I heard it. I need to check it out again.
But hell, I'm also the guy who thinks Alice Clark is a turd so what do I know?
Uh oh... GET A ROPE!
i don't think it blows but definitely not for me.
Treehouse:
Master Rappers --- pretty solid early rap thing from the Rota crew. The track is cool although the change goes all carousel-ride weird, rap is so-so... give it a chance if that's your bag.. otherwise $40 - $50 maybe... i've seen some try for $100 which is bollocks.
Harlem World Crew --- mail this express to 3X 2X c/o of Philly Green Productions ATT: TOUCH OF TONY
Gene Anderson --- Poo Poo indeed. Pretty awful 12"
Bambu --- pretty common and not very noteworthy.
ray dobards dentures
What's on the flipside of the Harlem World Crew 12"?
Call my humanity into question, because I was unmoved by it myself, and
ended up selling my copy within a couple of months. I know it's a certified
"soul strut classic" but yeah, those vocals don't really do it for me.
You were just trying to start a firestorm, right? I mean, that record is pretty amazing.
you have several passes
use them wisely
That Bob James 4 is a certifiable banger
I admire your restraint in telling me off when I sent you a CD with an Alice Clark 45 raer on it...
know what, that was the one track on the LP that kinda caught my ear but it didn't move me enough to wanna keep the thing.
Do I need to mention again that I GAVE THIS LP AWAY?
That sentence is kinda redundant don't you think?
the 45 of that Master Rappers came through my work a few months ago. i thought it had a good sound, but didn't do too well on auction..
here's a sip
haha. mike told me & jesse about that and how barry's wife was all freaked out & stuff. so is that part of your cut?
how are the gospel records?
