The Blue Rhythm Combo from Barbados produced some of the heaviest funk records to come out of the Caribbean in the early ‘70s – crossing the local Spouge rhythm with a heavy dose of American styled funk and soul. This 7" triple pack brings together six of their heaviest tracks from the early to mid-‘70s, culled from their releases on the famed Merrydisc label and a later single on WIRL that showcases their later and more soulful sound. Complete with liner notes telling the story of the band and some unseen pics, this is as close to Caribbean funk as you’ll get without catching the plane and going there yourself. Highly recommended!

This is the first time the Lou Courtney gem has ever been released legally on seven inch single. It was discovered as an LP only track by the Northern Soul scene in the early 70's and instantly bootlegged. Ironically it turns out that it was planned as a 45 in the 60's as a trawl through Robert's archives by Inferno has come up with the pre-release acetate! The Webs track has been steadily building up a rep as a top dancer at "Not The Northern Soul Top 500" venues over the last 5 years. It is written and produced by Bateman - Courtney and demonstrates how on top of the game they were when it came to making great Soulful dance records!

Gold is the missing link between Rotary Connection, Newban and 24 Carat Black. Unheard by human ears since 1974, this is the super sound of psychedelic soul, dancefloor funk and soulful ballads astonishing for their power and beauty. It’s incredible to find out that for one reason or another this album was never released at the time, and in the interviews and liner notes the folks over at Jazzman reveal the fascinating story behind the band and why such good music has been kept in the dark for so long. 180g vinyl pressing, freshly mastered from the recently-found master tapes. CD comes with extensive original liner notes and never-before-seen pictures, photos and images. Highly recommended!!

The flip 'Upskirt' drops a filthy guitar and bassline hook, funky drums, dirty moog laserbeams and the kind of groove that takes you to places you know you shouldn't go, reminiscent of a reckless late night drive thru' sleazy backstreets where insanity lurks just behind the curtains.

LaVern Baker was one of the ruling queens of Rhythm & Blues through the ’50s, a singer who had a knockout voice, oodles of charm and plenty of feminine sass to spare. ‘Love Me Right’ is just about the perfect record for the dance floor. Slightly uptempo for most popcorn nights, this is a driving, swinging R&B number with incredible riffs and an irresistible vocal turn. ‘Tiny Tim’ on the flip needs little pitch adjustment, this one is slow and decidedly slinky as LaVern is joined by the barritone-voiced Jimmy Ricks for a brazenly suggestive duet where the pair discuss who’s wearing the trousers, so to speak. Highly recommended!

On the flip Neko Neko’s MPC gets possessed by the spirit of circa ’93 boom bap as he remixes an anti-playa anthem. Honky-tonk pianos, horns and boom bap drums all make for a worthy update of this stone cold classic! Hand-stamped, limited edition white label 12”.
