Soul Strut

Drop image/file

Met up with an elderly Guyanese gentleman on the bus who told me I should come by and check his West Indian funk and soul 45's, and (DAMN!)3 hours later and $450 poorer I've got a stack of 56 45's, a Charlie PArker 10 inch on Savoy, a 1979 Reggae soul lp of Doreen Shaffers, and Chaka Khan's LP with "I Know You, I Live You" whcih I'd been looking for....and he had doubles/triples of 75% of the 45's which was almost all late 60's early 70's.

 Quite possibly one fo the best things ever to come out of Byron Lee's stable. Pure soul fire over a killer ska arrangement (Lee's Frankenstein tack below is a boomshot as well). Got 2 other early Busters 45's with the collection. <a href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/jasonofshaft/refresh/iwontlet.rm">Listen</a> for yourself.
