"FUNKY FOUR CORNERS" / "INST" (1970s - USA)

me, it ain't - no record on this obscure Atlanya, GA label is easy to find
and this one's no different - sure - it ain't as rare / indemand as 'I'm The

here..."

the great man himself and he wrote / produced most the tracks here - and it
shows - solid LP packed with dancers / midpacers and the big 'Pirate Radio'
fave 'Fill You Up' - clipped below - so, so good and total Soul - thank you
Curtis Mayfield....priced down from £25 cos the sleeve is slightly grubby
and the wax also has a few crackles...'If You're In Need' also saw NS
action - classy dancer... )
VARIOUS ARTISTS (Discophon) (Ex+/M-) *£80*
"FUNKY! HEAVY! SOULFUL!" (1972 - Spain)
( WOW-----what an LP!! Never, ever have I laid on this
before and my Spanish friends tell me they've never seen it themselves
before either - crazy rare...! It's basically a comp of some of the best
stuff from labels like Saadia, Top and Bottom, Shadow, Silver Dollar etc -
only 12 cuts so still all nice and loud - all seem to be licenced in from
the Jamie group of labels in Philly - simply has to be mega-rare - very,
very heavy / loud pressing too - artists include Thunder & Lightning 'Super
Funky Pts 1 & 2', Benny Gordon 'Give A Damn', Oscar Weathers 'When You
Steal' , Nu-Sound Express LTD etc etc - my first and probably last-ever
copy...absolutely beautiful condition too.. )

well-collectable label - really nice feel to the production here (c/o Paul
Riser) and some great dancers / midpacers / ballads on here - not one I come

highly-collectable thesedays... )

"OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART" (1978 - USA)
( Nice Hare-Krishna soul vibes on the lovely 'Don't Want
That Illusion' track - still sounding fine... )
SINS OF SATAN (UA) (Ex+/M-) *£10*
"FUTURE STAR" (1978 - USA)
( Dunno how to bracket this mob at all - is it Soul?
Funk? P-Funk - who cares...they've done some blinding stuff for us and the
'Mobile' track on here will ALWAYS stay close to my heart - off-the-wall,
banging boogie with a big dollop of love from the Clinton Mothership - oh
boy - I'd love to have this on 12" - only ever seen it on this LP -
dedicated to my good friend Martin D - we both share a BIG LOVE of this
cut...right, M? )
