I wish I had a double for ya. Luckily I found it trawling on the 'bay....seller had some crazy title for his auction & 0 feedback, so I took a chance....thankfully it showed up in one piece, even though he threw it in a padded envelope and nothing else..??..
I wouldn't call it latin funk....nice and bass heavy, vibes, and someone whistles over most of it. Vibes bit is just great. They really live up to the 'swing' in their band name...almost bought a Johnny Zamot 'Spaced Out' 45, too, until I was quoted $150. Ouch!
For What It's Worth - Sergio Mendes
Summer in the City - Quincy Jones
Season of the With - Kooper, Bloomfield...
Nightmares on Wax - Smokers Delight LP
Free and Easy - The Dells
Lonely Avenue - Ramsey Lewis
Sunshine of Your Love - Spanky Wilson
El Pito - Joe Cuba
FRONT AND BACK ,one dollar
1 - Garry Glenn - Need You In My Life

Coz my yard ain't got A/C, it's reggae time round here. Some 70s treats including Java Java, Derrick Harriot, Mellow Dub, Trinity, Ken Boothe, Althia, Prince Francis, Johnnie Clarke.
I picked this up the other day, still haven't given it a listen. Any good?
2). 213: Find a Way
3). Common "GO"

5). Ghetto Boys: "G-Code"
Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves the Sunshine
Rotary Connection - Black Gold of the Sun, Sunshine of your Love

IMO, its really mediocre all around. It has a super wack cover of "Gimme Good Loving". BUT, that song "Dr. Doo Wah" is fucking BLAZE!!! So that makes it Okay.
My Mix cd "Doin fo self"
Some Grime comp I got on a blank CD-R (this kid Kano is killin it)
MC Oroville "Meth till death"
Electric Flag "ST"
greg henderson- dreamin
joe gibbs- trinidad
masterforce- don't fight the feeling
skip jackson- microwave boogie (holla at the on-track 12 edit @ tsl $6!!!!)
Yeah! I've been having a total WAR revival as well the last few days. Add "L.A. Sunshine" to the list.
Ok, here's the non-WAR top 5 of this present moment (big up the ladies for a minute):
Simone - "Can??a, Can??a"
Syreeta -"Tiki Tiki Donga" (co-signing with frankynipplez)
Nina Simone "Sinnerman"
Broadcast "Man Is Not A Bird"
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood "Some Velvet Morning"
SAME HERE! Just yesterday I played "Galaxy" and was bobbing around in the morning *AY YO* to "Low Rider".
[brownpride]I even bought a "WAR" shirt.[/brownpride]
