While most of it is 12 year olds playin flutes, there is one song called "soul improvisation" where the school children don't kill it, but play a nice soul instrumental that sounds more like 68 than 78. Never seen before or after, ungoogeable. Was a gift from a local record shop. Sygaire,1holler, will be in Berlin next month img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerbang.gif" alt="" 21

From my hometown, too! They were a well known band, but this was only pressed in about 500 copies total, and is stupidly expensive, especially locally.b,121b,121I love it mostly for the cover.1It is the only record on my wall (pun inteneded).
img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/marcmoke/Untitled-1copy.jpg"1b,121b,121The first is a record given to lady receptionists when they started work at Dollond and Aitchison (opticians). Presumably to patronise them into submission. (may not count as its a spoken word lp, with classical bits)b,121b,121The second is from Taiwan. I can't tell you much more about it. b,121Soul covers, each track has a drum breakdown/solo. In the vain of Jimmy Takeuchis' Drum Drum Drum series. b,121b,121The third is a privately pressed library lp. Sounds img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/oof.gif" alt="" 21 but in reality its kinda img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ehh.gif" alt="" 21b,121It says it's the 3rd issue, but I 've never seen any of the others, can't imagine they were pressed in great quantities. b,121b,121b,121None of which are expensive-raer or likely to be reissued by Daptone Records.
Have not seen many of these around. Sweet roots music at its very best. Even tracked them down and found out they live right in my backyard in brooklyn. b,121b,121b,121img src="http://roots-archives.com/artwork/albums/7363.jpg"1
i have a record called Mashin' Myself by Charles Hilton Brown.1It was recorded before the Owed to Myself LP.1There's only a test pressing with a drawn cover.1I found it in Italy. A friend of mine works in a book store in Venice and a guy buying books from him was the recording engineer.1He gave me the copy, because I paid for books he wanted.1He sent the record to my hotel. b,121b,121I like the record better than the Owed to Myself. It's totally psyched out Funk.

Guys I am trying to find another copy (sourcing related)b,121b,121I am not one to not crack a seal for ebay but i thik I can get another one easilyb,121b,121My dad knows this guy (although they have fallen out)b,121b,121I like his other stuff but I am not going nuts to hear a 80's release
to make things clear I got this from my dad's collectionb,121I remember seeing the dude perform at the MTL Jazz Fest and loving it as a childb,121b,121but I mean its not so much i was geeked about it more tha ts a pretty rare, private press and interesting record. I've considered selling it (hence the pic) but held on to it. b,121b,121I was pretty sure i could get a hold of another copy my dad probably has a tape in storage (he dubbed everything)b,121b,121will let you guys knowb,121b,121but for now nothing to see here folks move along
without further ado it has been open!b,121b,121just was not on my to do list (could wait)b,121b,121but thanks for the pressure to do so...b,121b,121brought back memoriesb,121b,121info: dude is a guinean/morrocan artist who was my dad's best friend but then alcohol abuse lead them to break tiesb,121b,121This is a maxi single (45RPM) and his first recordb,121b,121"je d??die mon premier disque a tous mes amis et aux musiciens que j'ai rencontr??s et qui m'ont soutenu, ?? cimenter cette sublime aventure musicale que constitue l'African Beat"b,121b,121The tracks and instrumentation definetly have a 80's feel to them...with some synth work and also a DIY vibe (not the best production/sound)b,121b,121so in short its not mindmeltingly incredible but very melodic and interestig and the uys vocals are the real strong pointb,121b,121SIDE B is kind of img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ehh.gif" alt="" 21b,121b,121but side A are the 2 songs I remember from his showsb,121b,121On "Sunguila(extase)" his graspy and powerful voice project an west african griot-like chant over a upbeat track...spacey echo breakz...b,121b,121the second track is really better slow intro..with melancholy piano solo and nice vocals evolving into a slow burnerb,121b,121good stuffb,121b,121will post audio sooner than later but not so soon (glass turntable driver belt related)
