So That Was 2007 Part II
Barbara & Ernie – Play With Fire (MP3)
The best re-issue of 2007? Well that might just possibly be Barbara & Ernie’s Prelude To…
Ignored upon its initial release in 1971, it’s rarity and downright ace-ness pretty much ensured it became one of those ridiculously rare, and of course stupidly priced, records much sought-after by the Psych [...]
I need a strategy…
archie bell and the drells – strategy (special disco version) (mp3)
super quick one from archie bell & the drells today…
i put ’strategy’ on this morning before my daily ‘life threatening’ commute to work and it just got me all fired up. this was a big hit back in the late 70’s, with its catchy [...]
D-percussion invasion…
venus gang – love to fly (mp3)
most of our manchester based readers should know that it’s the wonderful d-percussion festival over the weekend – the last one ever apparently…
anyway, our good friend and occasional bff contributor, mr ryan hunn, has invited the bff dj team (me and kev) to play down on the sketch [...]
Tasty tasty, very very tasty…
syrup – sweat shop (mp3)
in honour of my extreme laziness, here’s a top top track from composts very own, 100% live disco/funk outfit, syrup. if ever there was a tune to get you off your arse and get you motivated, then this has got to be it. with possibly more funk than you can shake [...]
Tales from the bargain bins vol 1…
margaret singana – why did you do it? (mp3)
t-coy – de me mas (mp3)
chico chico – bamboleo (spanish summer mix) (mp3)
bargain bins. love them or hate them, every half decent record store is burdened with them. they entice you in with their crate busting amount of records, their cheaper than cheap prices, [...]
A case of deja vu…
a.b’s – deja vu (mp3)
i stumbled across this a good few years back in a charity shop somewhere out in the sticks, near copenhagen. to be honest it’s never really blown me away, but i have always quite digged it, mostly for its slo-grooving bassline, and slightly cheesy (japanese?) vocals. don’t really know much [...]
Slippin’ into obscurity…
tony sherman – slippin’ into darkness (mp3)
a super quick one today from the dutch artist, tony sherman…
back in the mid 70s, the super fly mr sherman, was mostly renowned for releasing a couple of northern soul sounding hits like, ’sing with me’, ‘tonight’ and ‘i wrote you a letter’. however tucked away on his [...]
Don’t you want my love…
the crusaders – spiral (mp3)
for anyone familiar with the work of kenny dixon jnr, then the crusaders track above should sound somewhat recognisable. under his moodymann moniker he produced the most excellent ‘don’t you want my love’, and being no stranger to sampling jazz/soul artists’ work, its obvious to see where he reached for his [...]
