Dave Thorley Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 OK a few have heard it and it has been suggested that it sound like Denis Coffey on guitar and Lyman Woodard on organ. Parts of it remind me of The US on Jaber records. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Groovy Baby............Elements of early Funkadelic but not them could be close with DC though... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Rudland Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That's bloody great.I'd love to know what that is, if you find out Dave. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Thorley Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 That's bloody great.I'd love to know what that is, if you find out Dave.I will, so far it has stumped some of the best funk collectors in the States and here, but will up date Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Weingarden Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Doesn't sound like Coffey to me. His stuff tends to have much more structure and discipline. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kris Holmes Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 pretty neat find whatever it is 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
maslar Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Reminds me of Black Merda (which has the Detroit connection). Then again there were a host of groups creating this type of sound. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulhawk Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 sounds like early Funkadelic - like something off 'Free Your Mind' with the dubbed-out vocals - also reminds me a bit of that Organgrinder record on Black Rock ( which is a Black Merda thing ) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Blueimage Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Definitely reminds me of Funkadelic right off the bat. Cool stuff, wish I could help! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Cool track - if you're feeling brave you could ask on the Waxidermy message board, sounds like the kind of thing Dante or the Memphix lads would know about... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Thorley Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Cool track - if you're feeling brave you could ask on the Waxidermy message board, sounds like the kind of thing Dante or the Memphix lads would know about...Already spoken to many of these guys via emails and it still stumping everyone. Also had a fair few willing to take it off my hands, as they say it's of little use to me and right up their street !!!!!!!!! So sure, anyone who's got a copy of Love Company - Love tempo - SRO, it's yours Edited July 13, 2015 by Dave Thorley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest illtalbeats Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Whoever it is, definitely sounds like they are trying to emulate the sound of Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain / Free Your Mind" albums. However, I don't think it's them. Guitar playing doesn't sound like Eddie Hazel (who would have been lead) and they didn't really add horns into the mix till later on.Norman Whitfield was known to record Funkadelic live and try to emulate them. Possibly something he produced? Unreleased Undisputed Truth? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Thorley Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Here is the flip side I forgot to post earlier. https://youtu.be/CjtMVrXPD_o Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 That is most excellent Dave, no idea who it is though the horns are definitely too sophisticated for early Funkadelic though way before the influence of Maceo and Friendly Fred et al..............

Thecivilservice Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Great record. In my opinion more likely to be a psych or acid rock group than a 'funk' group so if I were you I would start looking in that 'area' first. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
