...plus anything else by this Chicago blues singer.
There is someone you know ,pickwick , who came into the shop one day...he DJs and he asked me if we had anything that was like "shotgun". So I immediately went and pulled a copy of GL's "watch my .32" for him. He listened to it and said..."no, that is not what I'm looking for, you know like the jr. Walker tune" I had no idea what he wanted. It was kind of funny seeing how the track is an answer song to shotgun.

Tricky Zingers, an early seventies album by Creme Soda which (from all reports) sounds like a straight throwback to 60s garage and frat rock.
Been trying to track down the band members for a possible reisssue on the label I work for. It has been impossible. If anyone got any info, please let me know.
Whaddup with Brazil records? I see some releases now and then (like WhatMusic), but nothing like f.i. the amount of African records/comps. Can anybody shed a light on why this isn't happening (yet)?
That's a really good question.
All the Gerson King stuff in proper heavy vinyl would be awesome!
ahh, and why not the 1979 Father's Children? this may be a recent fever I caught from Numero..
The un-reissued lps I get asked for most is Sylvers I & II.
Assuming they have not been reissued.
I would like a proper deluxe box like the Syl Johnson vinyl/cd/booklet package.
Wonder if Pride,Capitol,Casablanca, Geffen and Solar could make this happen.
include both Fosters joints, And Edmunds solo joint.......i wish.
LaserWolf,yes they are wanted! Only 3 of 17 Sylvers albums(including solo works) are on CD. Insane! Everything is with Universal & Capitol/EMI. We are working on getting them to release this stuff with this petition! These companies generally don't really seem to release old soul music b/c of money fears...unless its a name like Aretha,James or Marvin. Many other great artists are getting ignored. Its very unfortunate! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/thesylvers/
KatS we are all with you.
Batmon thinks you are a member of the Sylvers family. True?

Thanks,guys! I'm all about getting great soul acts their due. BTW,thats really funny...he never asked me that haha. Anyhow I'm not but I can tell you that they are very nice. I'm just a big fan of them.

I admit, I would like a separate Sylvers reissue of their MGM/Pride sides (including Foster Sylvers). But that's because of my bias against disco and modern soul; I know good and well that if I were to buy a complete Sylvers box, the later recordings from 1975 onward wouldn't get much mileage from me. But, that's just my own greed.
I want Relatively Clean Rivers and Brazda Brothers on vinyl. I understand the latter was done by Void, but can't find any more info on it? If so, it must have been extremely limited...
Leech,
can we expect the Freedom Family sometime or did that get shelved? If so too bad, in my books it's one of the top funk LP's of all time.
I totally agree, an amazing record front to back.
Definitely not shelved - it's literally being printed right now and will have an 8 page book of extremely entertaining liner notes by the singer Albert Jones. It's no accident that they were so tight, they were an incredibly seasoned band by the time they cut that record and their experiences are a real insight into the music scene of the time.
I know I've announced this before, only to have delays, so here's a picture of some proofs as, you know, proof:
Does anyone know why the Sweet Charles album has never been reissued on CD?
Already during the days of the James Brown revival this surprised me. I mean: not even in Japan?!?! More than 20 years later this baffles me for mere commercial reasons.
(Without suggesting that this is mega rare or anything...)

So this thread popped up again. A rather-weak sounding Brazda Brothers reissue is now in my possession, but damn, I still want that RCR.
I just received an eMail from Mr. Bongo with a link to that website. Obviously they are trying to stir up some interest in their own titles and some previously released re-releases to be considered for re-re-release...:

These were all done in the last couple of years.
I was working with somebody on Phirpo, but might have hit a dead end.
The Ghetto Brothers is coming soon (allegedly), but I fear it will be poor quality.

Archie Whitewater is supposed to be coming out soon, i don't know what label though...
No :hayek:
I am as serious as your life.
And yes, I'd include "It's All Right To Cry" (from the Free To Be...You & Me soundtrack album) as well.

Do you own any reissues?
I tend to agree with you. It has fucked up the value of some originals.
Does one record being reissued somehow prevent people from discovering other ones? Don't understand the logic here.
Or is it bad that the artists get paid (often for the first time ever) for work they did many years ago?
And, as in the case of several Ethiopian musicians, have their career revived so they can make a living playing music again?
Sorry, but even if I didn't reissue the occasional record myself, I would find this a ridiculous attitude.
