2009 Hot potatoes mix for the annual xmas swap a mix for the Brownswood forum. This years one went out to great guy Nikos. Now available to share. Hope you enjoy. Expect the usual mix of Soul, Jazz, Reggae Dub Disco Boogie Funk and a Latin tune mash up.
Lalo Schifrin - Escape from tomorrow - 20th Century 7"
Driving funk soundtrack wickedness from the one of the masters of the Soundtrack. Following on from his excellent work on Enter The Dragon. This single has the fun and funky "Ape Shuffle" on the A side. I used to play that flip out a lot to mixed reactions.LOL. Recorded in 1974.
Mantus - Freestyle Rhythm - Atlantic 12"
Some great head nodding disco funk beats. Loads of mental percussion and synth noises clash together to give an almighty rhythm.
Simba - Movin - Contour LP (Afro Rock Festival)
From the various artist compilation "Afro Rock festival" A cheapy to pick up. Normally in charity shops but filled with great Afro funk rhythms. features artists like Osibisa and Assagai but I've always felt this "Simba" tune is the best. Love the vocal.
Sound Dimention - Soul Bowl - Bamboo 7"
The B-side to the Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd produced "Winston Francis - Turn Back The Hands Of Time" tune from 1970. Awesome bass and wicked raw sound which so typifies the Coxsone camp.
The Tramps - Tom's Song - Buddah LP (Legendary Zinc)
Funky laid back tune with beautiful strings to boot.
Charles Brimmer - Just another morning - Chelsea LP (Expression of soul)
New Orleans Brimmer flies off some funky soulful vocals. Sure to have been played on the Northern Soul scene, a great dancer, great artwork on the lp cover too.
Cornell Campbell - I Will never change - Attack 7"
Silky sweet smooth bliss vocals from this Don on the reggae scene. Simply a beautiful soulful tune. Great label too. I can't get enough of this tune.
First Cosins Jazz Ensemble - Psalm - Capitol LP (For the cos of jazz)
I always thought that "Psalm" gets over shadowed by the immense "Please The Pleaser". This tune has a lot going for it. Some good old fashion jazz funk.
Amuzement park - Love Show down - Our Gang Entertainment 12"
A great boogie style funk 12" probably known more for the "Groove Your Blues Away" but I prefer "love Show Down". A good little soul group.
Jay Cee Band - Luxury Livin - (Rhythms of the Ancients comp)
I know nothing about this band. Taken from the "Rhythms Of The Ancients" compilation which came out round 2000. A real Dusty fingers style tune.
Ana Mazzotti - Agora Ou Nunca Mais - Top Tape LP - (Ana Mazzotti)
Gorgeous Brazilian rhythms and super sexy vocals from the lovely looking Ana. Big tune. This lp is full of style and very much recommended as an essential purchase.
Players Association - We're almost there - Vanguard LP (We got the groove)
A bit more toned down disco from the usually break neck speed disco freaks. Great groove and soul to this, one of my favourite of theirs, but I've been a fan of theirs for years. The band has featured big jazz artists like Joe Farrell, Jon Faddis and Steve Khan to name a few.
Devadip Oneness - Free as the morning sun - LP (Silver Dreams Golden Reality)
This one is from Carlos Santana. Not a bad lp, feel it would of been better with out all the electric guitar but that's just my taste. "Free as the morning sun" was extremely well covered by Mr Hermano in 2001.
Jayson Lindh - Mannheim Rocket - Atlantic LP - (Jayson Lindh)
Demented fast and funky flutes blasts and stabs from Jayson Lindh. I love this style. Such great passion and feeling.
Continental 4 - Nite Moods - Jay Walking Records LP (Dream World)
Stunning harmonies great production. A recent purchase this one last year. Still not check it all properly but this one really stood out for me.
Blue magic - Never get over you - Atlantic LP (The Magic of the blue)
A old classic. A beautiful soul song. Insanely infectious groove especially when it kicks into the instrumental half way through.
Honey Boy - A taste of class - Cactus LP (A touch of honey)
Reggae dub vibes from this mainly vocal album. This is raw. The echo attack is ear splitting and righteous. Quite a scares lp nowadays me thinks.
Earl Rodney - Peace Pipe - Antillana LP (Friends and Countrymen)
Afro beat jazz with steel drums. This lp also features the wicked raw and funky "Juck Juck" tune. Shout me if you what a listen. An lp I've had since I was about 16 and I always find time to have a listen.
Ben Sidran - Lust - Blue Thumb LP (I lead a life)
Easy listening funk jam with a great porno groove. This tune grows and grows but is way too short. Features awesome strings.
Here's Mediafire link to download or you can now stream with the Mixcloud widgit thing. :) Happy vibes.... Mike
