  • Haha, I've got that Jess Roden LP Breez and yeah there are some good tracks on it. I think Jess Roden came from Kidderminster in the UK - anybody who's been there know that it's definitely NOT a funky place. Here's another classic example of …
  • .. and I know it's not disco, but I was lucky enough to play on stage with my hero the one and only Don Blackman last week!
  • Great call on the Lamont Dozier track, that's great - I also love 'Family' from his 'Peddlin Music On The Side' LP. I can't find the 12" mix on youtube, but this is one of my favourite deep disco jams: It's always gone down well …
  • Hey man, I think it's John Heard on bass. That's a great album, and 'Saudade' is amazing too. Harvey Mason on drums too - my favourite of all time; you can hear it's him just from 'The Mirror's Mirror', the timbre of his cymbals - what a musician...…
  • Looking for a nice original sleeve for 'Don Blackman' - please PM me if you've got one! Thanks, Tom
  • I ask because popsike shows the price falling quite considerably over the last few years - down to $40 more recently, albeit for a poorish condition copy.
  • Luis Gasca Sly Stone Aposento Alto Loading Zone Linda Tillery Pete & Shelia Escovedo Coke Escovedo Wow, I really should KNOW my records. I've got the Linda Tillery, Coke Escovedo and Luis Gasca LPs, plus obviously the Sly Stone. I know of Loadi…
  • Hey man, thanks for the help, I'm definitely after what was going on in the Bay Area - linear drumming from the likes of Gaylord Birch, Mike Clark and Dave Garibaldi, and then latin flavours from the Escovedo / Santana families etc.. I've got the R…
  • Depends on price and condition but you should seriously think about it. Check the hammer tips, bushings, electronics (mainly if it's a suitcase, but it's more likely to be a stage), tines etc - if it's in nice condition then it's a no-brainer. I lov…
  • Hey Patrik, I'm from the UK but my brother lives in Paris, last time I visited him I went for Paris raregroove day. Make sure you got Paulo Superfly's record shop (www.superflyrecords.com) - he's one of the best record sellers I know and he's got a …
  • Hey thanks for the kind words Neil, Baptiste, Mario... Most importantly I'm glad you enjoyed them - I had fun playing / recording them!
  • Also... Do you know Dan Goldman AKA JD73? Dude is up your street. I was thinking that! The Nightmares On Wax African Pirates remixes by JD73 http://www.fatcity.co.uk/Sales/pages/MusicPageRichMedia.aspx?pageid=7357 Hehe - yeah, Dan is a great m…
  • dude... you play real nice. respect. That was dope. Are you playing in a band or just doing it in private for yourself? I play in several bands around Cambridge UK, but I don't use my Rhodes for gigs right now - I've got a Nord Stage which is pr…
  • I like 'Song For My Lady' for the amazing version of 'Maiden Voyage'. Premonition is ok too.
  • Show them your record collection?
  • How about the Herbie Hancock one from Dedication?
  • b/w Hope that helps. No, it doesn't really. I can usually ID samples from my records without having to go anywhere near the-breaks.com but I checked that before asking here; it's not on there... (as far as I can tell).
  • Hey Mario, it's busy here - lots of pupils preparing for exams.. plus I have to try and squeeze piano practice in! Hope you're well too - stick with the mix, that Brazilian track is right near the end
  • I'll give you $100 for it. Hehe Jonny, sorry, I haven't got it - I suddenly remembered that I'd heard it a while back (probably on a mix here) and so I googled for a copy, and was shocked how much it seems to go for.
  • I found record shopping in London to be a lot of walking for little reward, I still had a good time though & lost a bunch of weight. Still, I met cool people & all the people who worked at the stores were real nice (except that strange fell…
  • Young Warrior was recently released I believe. But sadly I think it was only a Madlib remix on 'Blue Note Revisited'? I'd love to get the original track!
  • Are you taking Tewwy Tibbs for a wide? Thwow in the Pele soundtrack and DEN we're talkin.

  • Found these in a charity shop here in the UK; Doubles of the Frank Wilson - anybody want one? And the Gil Scott Heron was a bargain - only $150 for a NM+++ copy! No, seriously - my finds / e-finds this week are: Mokie J.J. & R.O…

  • Nothing uber-raer but made from what was to hand at the time. Flowers - For Real Nice track list. Well, I'd say the Flowers track is pretty tough to get hold of unless you've got a spare few thousand dollars! BTW - are you Jimster aka Jamie …
  • Pencilface, Mario, just checked your mixes and really enjoyed them. Mario - are those all from OG vinyl - it's like a who's who of Brazilian funk! Here's my most recent effort - I put it in the Music You All section. It's all from OG vinyl, record…
  • Thanks man - yeah, the Smoked Sugar is a loop of 'Bump Me'! And I overdubbed some clavinet on 'Blessed Are Those Who Struggle' - I haven't decided whether it works or not, but I thought I'd try it! The Paul Humphrey is the only record I've got on Li…
  • few other easter flea thangs Nice finds upskiboo, got to be impressed with DJNevilleC's digging too - not just 1619 BAB LP, but it's the first press as well, if I'm correct (Graxam was second?) Anyway - I've got that Paul Humphrey record, one…
  • This was my last jazzy funk mix - PM me if you wanted any of the tracks: There's some rare stuff on there, and some easy-to-get stuff too. I don't think any of it's tepid! Thanks, Tom
  • Everything that's been mentioned - plus: I'm sure there's a 'Live At Copacabana' album, but I've only ever seen it on CD. I'm pretty sure it would have come out on LP too, but has anybody ever seen a copy? Cheers, Tom
  • OK you guys got me, fair enough! But I'm pretty sure it's the same mix on the 12" as the LP
