Sun Ra catalogue
errrrrrrrrrrrrr... Spacemen, the Levi's ad...
thread is kinda
I like the Gary McFarland one. Also that live high school thing off of School House Funk. There is a soul vocal group lp where they are shouting out everyones sign... Frank Cunimondo Sagitarius.
The group Sagittarius...
Aquarius Dub
maybe the earliest musical use? 1940s....
I found this one at Arons for like 5 bucks, because it was missing the first disc (and the sleeve was all water eaten)... am i missing a lot without it?
That's the one.
Yeah, I prefer the first disc to the second disc. They were asking $5 for it in that condition with only one record???!! Damn. I just copped this [i.e. both records] in near perfect shape over the weekend for a buck. It was the reason started the thread, actually.
Oh! That "Astrology Rap" from like 1980 is pretty great too if you can handle the campiness.
Didn't anyone at least see the ad for this:
Dan
Zodiac Dub.... come on K. My scanner is 11x8, help us out.
this doesn't seem to work.
OK, here he is:
I fully hoard songs/LP's with Zodiac themes.
Young-Holt Unlimited have a 45 called "Horoscope" on Brunswick that is dope, calls out the signs.
Roy Ayers, "It Ain't Your Sign It's Your Mind" from "You Send Me"
There's a song on the "Uptown Down South" Excello/Abet comp cd by Shirley Brown called "Even if the Signs are Wrong" that is awesome, although that may be someone else's song, I'm thinking Motown??
But best of all, my absolute favorite zodiac tune is this gem, "Planets of Life" by The Whispers...it's funky, spacy and sweet all at once...dude kicks the FACTS on the signs:
If you see it, cop it ASAP.
And while we're at it, Virgo Vibes by Roy Ayres
ummmm:
Is it on both? I just played the "You Send Me " version the other day...I have "Sunshine" but have to dig it out and I'm already supposed to be in my car...
It may well be, been a while since I listened to "You Send Me", but I trust ya...
sorry to get all "Star trek" on you!
Ace of Bass- Zodiac Sign
Definetely has some nice moments.
I likes this too,... and also the 2nd one: Love Sex and the Zodiac...
Nat and Cannonball RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A soundtrack for a 70s TV show about astrology..
i had this amazing cassette tape of cannonball live in italy in the early 60's and i lost it on a roadtrip. i've never found an lp copy since. so sad.
there's also Sagittarius Black by Timothy McNealy
