James Becton - Butter & Toast

2010-06-29T06:54:00.000-07:00

A pretty much ungoogleable private press soul LP from Connecticut's James Becton. I remember hearing the title track on one of Thes One's mixes a few years ago.

It's yet another gem from Sanfrancisco's Bay Area (home to so many dope LP's) Judging by the artwork the label Treasure Records only existed in this guys bedroom, but thats more than made up for by this LP's synth driven funkiness ...... well at least peanut butter wolf thinks so.

I bought this 45 a few years back for $50 which is possibly the most i have ever spent on a record in my life.

Oh well it's a great track anyway.. especially if you play it at +6.

Not to be confused with the show that spawned this garbage this french 45 has a killer B side. I picked it up on a digging trip to france a few years ago for its shaft style hat break, but kept it for its cop show grooves.

Mulatu Astatke - Mulatu of Ethiopia

2008-02-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

I was randomly watching some video about some break heads where they mentioned this LP saying they discovered it. Im like . nah i threw that shit in the sampler years ago. in all honesty my copy is pretty beat up and he surface noise put paid to any workable beat, luckily Mongoliod (come back man) had a cleaner version.Mulatu Astatke does some pretty amazing work on this album and it's unique "Roy Ayers meets Sun Ra with a hot dose of African funk" sound means it often fetches top dollar. you can grab the re-issue at Dusty Groove.

Ive been struggling to find LPs that havnt already been posted elsewhere over the past week or so, there are so many blogs with so many albums out there...anyway heres a pretty interesting blaxploitation soundtrack by Ed Bogas & Ray Shanklin. The film was about a woman kindly fostering some kid..... blah blah blah.Its a solid LP with a few sampler friendly moments well worth adding to your blaxploitation collection. But at the right price of course!

mystic minds - mind over matter (1975)

2008-01-16T04:08:00.000-08:00

These guys were a trio from California (apparently they Korean War veterans) and a s far as i know this private press LP is their only release. This album had some pretty strange moments lyrically. These are only surpassed by their use of a home made instrument called a Brass Orchestra Cabinet .. It’s like a homemade pipe organ made of trumpets and other horns....

Roger & The Human Body (1976)

2008-01-12T05:53:00.000-08:00

Apparently this one is pretty rare. it's one of a 300 press on the Troutman brothers private label. god knows what i was doing a the Notting Hill Gate record exchange. For those that dont know the employees their pride themselves on the record knowledge. Yet this was in the bin with the Jackson 5 and the Sylvers. Anyway it a pretty funk LP and well worth looking out for... but you may need to re-morgage the house

In my never ending quest for the perfect sample i came across this LP by Brazilian afro funk artist Miguel de Deus. No real killer breaks to flip but its a pretty entertaining album.I picked my copy up for £4 ($8) at one of my local Charity shops only to discover on popsike that its worth a small fortune.... now i feel guilty because that money should have gone to the homeless. Never the less this album is well worth seeking out.. so get digging

I have to thank the excellent Baby Grandpa for this Rogier van Otterloo LP.after hearing it i had to track down a copy for my sampler.

This is one of the best Psych records ive heard in a long long time. Released in 1968 it features a great mix of east and west in terms of instrumentation ,arrangment and lyrics. After one spin its pretty clear that this guy did far too many drugs and was paying the price for it at the time of recording. apparently this Lp was produced by Tom Wilson of Velvet Underground and Dylan fame.

Theres nothing unlucky about number 13 in RCA's April orchestra library series. Puccio Roelens kills it with some lush disco grooves. If Armand Van Helden ever got hold of its opening track "Northern Lights" he'd probaly flip it into an instant classic. Keep your eyes peeled for it .. you wont be disapointed!

2007-11-20T09:29:00.000-08:00

While on a trip to NY to record with some artists this summer i stumbled across this place in Greenpoint Brooklyn. it's called "The Thing" , it must have had close to half a million records in there. Proper dusty vinyl ! i think it was around $4 a record (or at least that what the Hipster behind the till told me......) Anyway get yourself down there, but dont forget you gloves and dust mask!

Conroy Library - Modern Mixture

2007-11-20T08:41:00.000-08:00

Heres a quality piece of library From the Conroy catalog. Composed by S. Sklair and G. Galbraith this 1976 LP is one of my favorites and features some moody electonic moments ( the tracks called "spellbinder" are classic.) Very hard to get hold of , i even saw it selling on Recordkingz for $250. By the way this isnt quite the correct artwork.Sorry. check out Monone's blog or his online store for loads of cool library and soundtrack goodies!

Ram John Holder - Black London Blues

2007-11-16T04:32:00.000-08:00

This 1969 release walks that tightrope between genius and cheese that so many of my favorite acts tread. It's clearly recorded on a buget, and some of the session players werent the greatest . But with songs like "Brixton Blues" (an ode to english alcoholism) i dont think you can fail to like it.Some of my fellow english readers may recognise him as he played Porkpie in the Channel 4 show Desmonds. ive seen this sell for $300 on ebay, so its well worth a listen.

Mort Garson - Zodiac

2007-11-16T03:47:00.000-08:00

This record is well worth hunting down, its packed with electronic wierdness from multitalented musician Mort Garson. It comprises of 12 tracks each named after a starsign and laced with haunting/cheesy spoken word. Mort's other electronic albums : Electronic Hair Pieces and Lucifer's Black Mass are some of my personal favorites. It definatly has some sampling potential for the odd moody pysch loop. If they reprint the re-release you can buy it here But i wouldnt hold my breath if i was you!

Lou Bond

2007-11-13T13:07:00.000-08:00

Lou Bond's rare 1974 self titled album on the Stax owned We Produce label. This is up there as one of my all times favorite soul albums. Sparse instrumentation yet in parts massively over-produced. Backing by the Memphis Syphony Orchestra giving it an almost Issac Hayes sound at times, its very cinematic.It's best track "Too The Establishment" has been sampled by Alchemist for Prodigy's "Trails of love" and Brother Ali's for his track "Picket Fence" An album you simply must own so get digging...

Great production values, and superb instrumentation and harmonies . so you wont be sorry for checking it out. Their cover of The Dramatics classic "in the rain" is top draw.
