K-MART RECORDS JUNE 2018 LIST


Karlm

Recommended Posts

PM to reserve!

 

Hello and welcome to the June 2018 list! I’ve barely recovered from the first, and fantastic, Liverpool Soul Weekender. Hats off to arrangers Ryan Wilson and Flanny Jr (Liam Flanders) who did a great job putting it all together. I hope it will be the first in many!

The list this month is another good one with great and seldom seen records in all price ranges. There’s a few solid 12 inchers and albums towards the end. From the 45 sections the modern soul one is probably the strongest.

Talking of soul weekenders the Stockholm one was absolutely solid too. After it me and arranger Carl Hedberg got together with international guests Bob Snow, Terry Wright and Kouki Shinada recording 2h45m mix which can be heard here.

BR, Karl

Modern Soul & 2 Step 45’s

 

Trans-National Funk Co. – Brand new day / Funkafied – AMG / EX / £750 (Best thing on the label, and one of the rarest. Usually seen with an vocal take of “Funkafied” on the flip and with a red AMG logo rather than grey here. “Brand new day” is pure magic! Sounds stunning 3am on any dancefloor. Searched 10+ years for my first copy, this spare copy I found now some three years later.)
