    cool thread, shaft is usually a great source for illhornstab and hihatbraekz.

    love unlimited orchestra

    byron lee and the dragonaires

    hollyridge strings (dope intro on this one with vocal harmonies)





    isnt there more than one version of shaft by 101 strings and enoch light? or did they recycle the same recordings on multiple records?



    edit: byron was mentioned

    Superdude Movie Sounds (on Pickwick)

    Not to be anal, but Pickwick would release the same song credited to different artists, so this could be the Soul Mann version we already listed.

    did we get the Generation Gap version yet?

    theres probably 50893 private press cover versions of this. Fall Guys and Colleagues come to mind.

    i dont think ive ever liked ANY version of this song.

    not much of a snare drum track and yes theres quite a few lame versions, alot of dope ones too, i really like that groove.
    the prophets of soul record has a version with a ill farfisa organ b part/ riff.
