View full article

Many thanks Mike . 

This is what Detour Records (the distributors ) have said 

‘DETOUR RECORDS are immensely proud in bringing you the much anticipated third release on this newly formed label. There has been much talk about this release and NOW you can pre order it. Don't hang about as the first release on this label sold out within TEN days of going on sale.’ 

 

 

ordered thanks

Mike,

Ordered one but 'Out today'?  The website states a release date of 9th SEPTEMBER 2022.  Just for clarity mate in case folks order expecting a 45 to drop on their mat by weekend.   

regards,

Dave

Hi Dave . Sorry for any confusion. It’s now available as a pre release advance order exclusively from Detour Records . Delivery is then expected (hopefully worst case senario ) 9th September . Detour & myself prefer to under promise but things are starting to improve in the vinyl manufacturing supply chain so fingers x’d could beat the 9th September advertised date .

No dramas,  I bought one and then realised it was a pre order which I don't usually subscribe to but my fault entirely, I should have paid better attention.   LOL!

Good luck with it. 😉

Thanks Dave for your understanding-it’s a complicated and fluid world out there .

so the 1st July event was a 'pre release advance order'  launch

ok looks like my fault for not clicking on, I took it as an actual release launch date

original article now edited

anyone caught out by my error and wish to cancel then pm me

yep that's right

our news post was based on email info from the label owner, which I read wrong and treated pre-release date as a release date

cheers now

Record Collector Magazine July 2022 - Reviewed by Ian Mac (Ian McCann) 

Review of Con Funk Shun/Jay Cee Move On Up/l've Been Thinkin - Last Bastion LB O3 

Blimey, what a roster. Last month, we enjoyed Last Bastion's Steve Marriott release, now it brings us something totally different. You may remember Con Funk Shun as mega-selling, highly sampled 70s-80s groove giants. They still exist and in 2014 committed this genuinely remarkable makeover of Curtis Mayfield's call for self-betterment to tape.

Move On Up surfs on a spanking electro-funk groove circa 1981; it's adorned with delicious harmonies, lush strings and horns, and to top the lot, zydeco accordion! A song you've probably heard enough of by now is totally refreshed, in a highly original manner. Organic electronica? Folk-electro-soul? I've never experienced the like: whatever it is, it's fabulous.

As if that wasn't enough, the flip brings us soul DJ Jay Cee borrowing bits of Sam Fletcher's Northern monster l'd Think It Over to create a cool, ticking, rising and falling song of desire. It is contemporary, yet bears vintage echoes of the likes of Work Song and Johnny Lytle's Village Caller without aping either.

Very limited edition: one side would be enough to make it worth snapping up; both are gorgeous.

Hi Dave . Hopefully very very soon . It’s continual frustrating  delays and disappointing as myself and other labels were hoping otherwise ….

The manufacturers latest advice is now dispatch (to Detour Records) 13th September . After which Detour will package, label and post out as quickly as they can. 
 

Con Funk Shun fans might also be interested in this
