there is a tough psych funk 45, but the name escapes me...has "darkness" in the band name, I believe. Jazzman had one a few years ago for a hundred pounds or so. I am raking my brain to try and remember what it is.

I'm partial to Major Lance[/b]'s version of "Wild And Free"[/b], real good one to have in the middle of a 4 hour-fogger sweaty disco type set.
And then there's Willie Henderson[/b]'s "The Dance Master"[/b](vocal/inst.), an entertaining record that falls into the unfortunate category of Slow Disco - like below 100 bpm - even good records in this category rarely get played out.
there is also one called "Gangster Boogie Bump" and another one that I like is "Lets Merengue" or so. I have those in my piles, but doesn't want to search through now.
If you really need the Info I would do so, but maybe someone has them on hands now...
Sharon Cash's second album is also on Playboy. There's better songs overall on that self-titled album compared to her earlier LP on Mother's but there's nothing on the Playboy LP that's as hot as "Fever" either.
I have a few good 45s on the label. Two of them are the thread I put up last nite about "common 45s". It has links to download the Willie Henderson 45 "Gangsta Boogie Bump" and "Let's Merengue" and also the excellent, Al Wilson "Be Concerned". Check 'em out.
Cosign on the Sharon Cash LP (which I avoided for a long time for some reason but recently grabbed and appreciated) and the "Dance Master" 45 (which I think is mediocre sometimes and pretty good others). I think the Henderson 45 mentions an LP but I've never seen or heard of it otherwise.
The first US release by ABBA is on Playboy, a single credited to "Bjorn & Benny" - not being an ABBA fan, I can't hype it's musical quality, but if you find one it can be flipped for some $$$.
I have a single or two by Buck - really good early '70s soul. I also have 45's by Brenda Lee Eager (Jerry Butler's duet partner) and Bobby Taylor (of "& the Vancouvers" fame), but they're not all that hot. Major Lance had a surprisingly good uptempo remake of "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" that was a minor hit in 1975. They released a vintage live Leadbelly session, and I have a 7" pairing "Goodnight Irene" and "Rock Island Line" from that album. On the blues tip, Phillip Walker's first album was on Playboy (The Bottom Of The Top), but I have yet to hear it.
Strangely enough, towards the end of its' run Playboy briefly distributed the weirdo Beserkley label, one of the earliest companies to ever be associated with the punk/new wave/power-pop (Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers were their big act). They also had (PAGING TERRY CLUBBUP & ANTHONY PEARSON)[/b] Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - "baby, baby, fallin' in love, I'm fallin' in love again..."
AND TERRY CLUBBUP...[/b]...Willie Henderson's classic "Dance Master" may have been too slow for disco, but just right for funk (remember, in 1975 disco hadn't yet become as mechanical as it did later, so the standards were different). We play this single all the time at our soul nites at the Hideout, and it never fails to keep people out on the floor.

I like Yaqui on the Santana-like rock tip.
And Brownstone has it's moments.
Darkness of Evil "Laid Back Funk"
yes!
thank you!

I think the Weapons of Peace album is worthwhile on this tip. Not
Like this one?.......please to see my ad in sales.
Anyone know if this is the same Mark Davis that did the Mist 45 on Twinight?
I think this record is dope. I wouldn't call it mediocre... But maybe that's just my taste.
Granted, I've only heard some of the funky shit, and I liked the voice overs... A record doesn't have to be great for me to want it.

I was going to say Sam Russell's "What's Unusual Ain't Natural" Lp. I love the song "Yesterday's Sorrow."
