Not only does it have one of the best label designs of any 45 I've come across I don't feel like it's gotten it's due in the realm of local 45's that people are after. Maybe this will change that! Amazing soul - some might call it Northern Soul but I don't have the time or energy to classify it under anything other then simply funk or soul. See for yourself! Soul Disciples on the Phantom label out of good ol' Richmond!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_G3C6brYErD8BLU511M4dPOqvdk8mAwLmKAgIDsUOocSHILlAZzHUSmz0tJ5tIbZJC9iupWa19GsCOjn4HoWDy0B8hQPVzskQn9d-I7fXnXoRQkqAdhoggRUrfwUQ6yHtOQku9o6PDKv/s1600-h/disciples.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_G3C6brYErD8BLU511M4dPOqvdk8mAwLmKAgIDsUOocSHILlAZzHUSmz0tJ5tIbZJC9iupWa19GsCOjn4HoWDy0B8hQPVzskQn9d-I7fXnXoRQkqAdhoggRUrfwUQ6yHtOQku9o6PDKv/s320/disciples.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189286058501302370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/u2i7qdns48.mp3"><br />Soul Disciples - "That's The Way Love Goes"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)<br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/60zo97ywwc.mp3">Soul Disciples - "Together"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br /><br /></span>Next week - some of my favorite rare and not so rare Disco-Rap!

Wish I knew more about this one but I don't. The vinyl is a little noisy but I have no idea why as it's pretty much an unplayed copy. The second side of this 45 is where it's at!

Rather then post some of the bigger records that are fairly well known I decided to share three that are a little more obscure. The first is a 45 by the Banks Bros on the Consolidated label. Although it's not from Richmond - but somewhere outside the DC area from what I gather - it's close enough I thought I'd throw it in. From what I know it was apparently put out by an actual bank - I have no idea if it was just backed by the bank or put out as an actual promotional item but it's still pretty odd. Didn't even like the tune at first but now it's grown on me - check it!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitx58RPXSO72tRW4YT23X_eT1_L-coim4U_elCscvQuSpo4ZghlUUwMpqOHHWsVz90CEREdiocNwvwZiLzEsGKEt6D9duFN5JobCBFy5yV0yAqWbuAEXVef4kg0BCDkzB3-96fvuhQ9AYM/s1600-h/banks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitx58RPXSO72tRW4YT23X_eT1_L-coim4U_elCscvQuSpo4ZghlUUwMpqOHHWsVz90CEREdiocNwvwZiLzEsGKEt6D9duFN5JobCBFy5yV0yAqWbuAEXVef4kg0BCDkzB3-96fvuhQ9AYM/s320/banks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187079706676326450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/i4s5nrncww.mp3"><br />Banks Bros - "Bring It All Back Home"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)<br /><br /><br /></span>Next update on Thursday - so check back!<br /><br />Peace!<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br /></span>Kenny Bloggenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06802825581640429404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235288395296281206.post-88459184162791970582008-03-14T11:44:00.004-04:002008-03-14T12:19:52.845-04:00Jade - In Pursuit LPWell it's been a minute - but well worth the wait. Here, in it's entire glory, is the legendary and much sought after soul/funk Lp out of Norfolk - Jade "In Pursuit" on Pesante! The group put out two 45's I know of - maybe three. One, Paper Man, was featured on the Black Chains & Exhaust comp and the other was for the track Music Slave - which is the most well known cut off the album. Wanted to ever get a copy? Good luck! At least now you can hear the entire record without shelling out the cash! Pretty amazed the record didn't get more circulation then it did - it certainly wasn't for lack of killer tunes.

Not sure what I'm going to put up next but I'll have it up by Thursday!<br /><br />I had to put up one more Burning Spear 45 - chose Marcus Garvey because it's a killer tune and slightly different than the version released on the Lp.

Backed by the Aggrovators it's Jerry Lewis' "The Organization" - I suspect there's a Lee Perry connection as one of his biggest songs "Burning Wire" was co-written with him and the Aggrovators backed him quite a bit. Not much he didn't have his hand in!

Jackie Mittoo - a true legend. With such credentials as being an original member of the Skatalites and backing some of the most heavyweight names in reggae at the time including The Cables and The Wailers he later went on to release a ton of killer releases on his own. This 45 is one of them - a spaced out dubby slab of genius on his own Stine-Tac label out of Canada called "Mash Down Babylon" from 1979. You have no idea how ecstatic I was to stumble upon the original of this one - just listen...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSP2akDmM7gi_j1ioxX_m0Hl2_PHBXyJKOseI1WJELDYpbcc8VQIeySOQd32pfe80yTG_Fmzta3ocSmNOGZCqObo4haaKMzMZ09a3zc873jJ7M_MPXIg7BOZhX8QYMK27noamINl4Kz-4P/s1600-h/mittoo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSP2akDmM7gi_j1ioxX_m0Hl2_PHBXyJKOseI1WJELDYpbcc8VQIeySOQd32pfe80yTG_Fmzta3ocSmNOGZCqObo4haaKMzMZ09a3zc873jJ7M_MPXIg7BOZhX8QYMK27noamINl4Kz-4P/s320/mittoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137787125239065394" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/4pjgiqsomh.mp3">Jackie Mittoo - "Mash Down Babylon"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)<br /><br /><br /></span>It's not over - another heavy 45 awaits. Credited to The Preacher the song "Black Moses" is a blend of massive slowed down funk careening head on into a of lane pure Jamaican groove. One of the most unique blends of music I own on 45 - and yet another one I have been unable to find out any info on other than it's produced by Derrick Harriott.

Before I go any further - these are all taken off the original Jamaican pressings which are often less than perfect - so if you're looking to hear a perfect recording with outstanding fidelity then turn back now. If you find the clicks and pops in all their analog glory endearing as do I - well then it's your lucky day!<br /><br />The first 45 is by The Twin Roots on the Congo label called "Know Love" - I've had a tough time finding info on this one - I'm guessing late 70's or very early 80's but regardless a killer Roots tune. I know the 12" version was on Black Art so possibly there's some Lee Perry connection although his name isn't mentioned anywhere on this one. I've played this one so many times it's not even funny.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtktQxUXLbP77EhTHeoIK-YjBnHOzDHjLtmaWtX2d8fKQ1NuaiSUUmjy-pG1R3A0pIrT5l6yUWo4pJXxXSoZO0lVPEwdCJZzBLNoJhCBixAzYyvjLujVPm6CFvukFUz9THcq5DUKuq6s1/s1600-h/TwinRoots.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtktQxUXLbP77EhTHeoIK-YjBnHOzDHjLtmaWtX2d8fKQ1NuaiSUUmjy-pG1R3A0pIrT5l6yUWo4pJXxXSoZO0lVPEwdCJZzBLNoJhCBixAzYyvjLujVPm6CFvukFUz9THcq5DUKuq6s1/s320/TwinRoots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137388157137005330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/584yid2az0.mp3">The Twin Roots - "Know Love"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)<br /><br /><br /></span>The next 45 is by one of my all time favorites - Burning Spear. Song is Spear Burning on the Spear label from 1976 - just 3 years after their first Lp for Studio One. Kind of strange since their first record for Island was in 1975. I guess they were still making some independent pressings - legitimate or otherwise. "Behold the Spear Burning over yonder - fling it on a stick up and catch a fire". Winston Rodney - in my humble opinion one of the few reggae artists that managed to age well even into the late 80's and still puts on such a great live show.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0n73A6ErvsO6XJQ1dKiTsT-50bNtezLFi_gsdOHkLQFB9w_usDks_EPIb44TG2wovqBv1f0t8yCEBddHKRW_uXL2ON7EDucrpB_bUnrSULHx3MbBKauulGejD1A9v8EGT8I5sX_cGKxv/s1600-h/Burning.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0n73A6ErvsO6XJQ1dKiTsT-50bNtezLFi_gsdOHkLQFB9w_usDks_EPIb44TG2wovqBv1f0t8yCEBddHKRW_uXL2ON7EDucrpB_bUnrSULHx3MbBKauulGejD1A9v8EGT8I5sX_cGKxv/s320/Burning.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137394273170434850" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/tejom4s5qa.mp3">Burning Spear - "Spear Burning"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)<br /><br /><br /></span>That's it for now - have 3 more updates coming this week so check back - and again - if you have a site/blog - please link me - it's greatly appreciated!<br /><br />PEACE!<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br /></span>Kenny Bloggenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06802825581640429404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235288395296281206.post-41631115870279329572007-11-19T23:28:00.000-05:002007-11-19T23:49:45.475-05:00Funk 45's Pt. 3Ok - so this it for now. My final two and I saved my favorite for last.<br /><br />Without a doubt my hands down favorite funk tune of all time - Lou Courtney's "Hey Joyce". This track NEVER gets old. I hope Joyce knows how lucky she is to have this monster of a song all about her. And if all is right with the world Mr. Courtney had her at his beck and call for years to come. It's only fair right? Yeah it's fair. Play this one every time I get the chance.

First off is a 45 by Justin - don't know much about this one but I love the track. Bit surprised there's not more info on this one out there. Flip is a ballad-y number that doesn't do too much for me - but "Right Now" is killin' it.

Trust me. These aren't the rarest or most obscure funk 45's, they're just some of my favorites. Chances are if you've come to any of the funk/soul nights I've done or spun at you've heard a few of these.<br /><br />The first one is by The Superlatives called "I Don't Know How (To Say I Love You)". First - I have to give props to my man Troy for turning me onto this one. Great track! An upbeat number that flows so nice with those drums. I'd like to shake the hand of whoever decided to put those drums so up front in the mix. The song wouldn't be nearly as good without that punch they give it.<br /><br /><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpizrVIUo_UVWAmXolI6tGm8BZX3VCmOdPP9_9636Mk8x10l0DkVBuzljb3-udOqjsCaYhTEy2rVMcDdFTpIV4h5ixSrLJOFfL4ujljftCPJ3WSOShy_OKK9n8IgyOkeH6Bjx6SOFTC7vR/s1600-h/Superlatives.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpizrVIUo_UVWAmXolI6tGm8BZX3VCmOdPP9_9636Mk8x10l0DkVBuzljb3-udOqjsCaYhTEy2rVMcDdFTpIV4h5ixSrLJOFfL4ujljftCPJ3WSOShy_OKK9n8IgyOkeH6Bjx6SOFTC7vR/s320/Superlatives.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132861074202826978" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0mro9gfvpt.mp3">The Superlatives - "I Don't Know (To Say I Love You)"</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click to listen - CTRL & Click (PC) or Option & Click (Mac) to save!)</span></p><br /><br /><p>The next 45 I've played to death and you know what?

This is the first Trap Door psych mix that I'm not sure even got a proper release other being online. The people at <a href="http://www.dis-joint.com/">Dis-joint</a> put this one together as well as the <a href="http://www.dis-joint.com/trapdoor.html">second</a> Trap Door mix which did see a proper release on vinyl and CD. Unlike the second "mystery" mix the first one lists the artists and songs, albeit a few were spelled wrong and mis-matched (I fixed these to the best of my knowledge.) A great mix and it flows effortlessly. Not to mention an easy way to check out some of the more obscure tracks without forking over the small mountain of bills some of these <a href="http://popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=Azitis&x=0&y=0">records</a> fetch. Plus - you get the killer Dennis Olivieri track which is a personal fave. So good. Enjoy. I'll be uploading some of my favorite funk 45's next week as time permits so check back.
