Up for pre-release orders today Label Information and audio follows below CON FUNK SHUN ‘MOVE ON UP’ / JAY CEE ‘I’VE BEEN THINKING’ (LB03) Two contrasting, previously unreleased sides, Ltd to 300 (no repress) with picture sleeve Now available to order here: http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/CON-FUNK-SHUN-/-JAY-CEE-Move-On-Up-/-Ive-Been-Thinking-7-P/S-NEW CON FUNK SHUN ‘MOVE ON UP’ The A side is exclusively licenced from Con Funk Shun, a previously unreleased recording. (The only other release was an album length version on Con Funk Shuns’ 2015 ‘More than love’ cd). Con Funk Shun signed to Mercury Records in 1976 and almost instantly became one of the most successful and prolific North American Soul n Funk artists of that generation. Today their US hits also feature in charts worldwide via countless rap/hip-hop samples drawing in a whole new generation. With sellout live performances (featuring original members, co founder Michael Cooper, Felton Pilate and Rev. Karl Fuller) and recent recordings including the highly acclaimed ‘More than love’ cd release, their popularity continues today. A 32 track greatest hits compilation, ‘Con Funk Shun - Con-funkshunizeya (The Mercury Anthology)’ was released in 2020. Con Funk Shun's music is also soundtracks of films including ‘Gone In 60 Seconds’, ‘Next Friday’, and ‘American Pimp’, which was featured at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. Against that background, Andy Bellwood of Last Bastion Records explains “with 11 chart albums (one Platinum, four Gold) and 20 hit singles (eight top 10 RnB chart, one No.1) in the US, it’s still hard for me to comprehend that the 3rd release on Last Bastion Records is from these soul & funk legends. David & Goliath comes to mind, after all it’s a small indie label which only came into existence last year and operates out of a converted donkey stable in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park!” CON FUNK SHUN ‘MOVE ON UP’ VIDEO JAY CEE ‘I’VE BEEN THINKING' ‘The Jay Cee track additionally delivered another label aspiration, a new artist release.’ ‘Move on Up' was recorded in 2014 at The Soundform studios, California and it’s already an in demand, pre release, requested sound in dj sets and radio shows via an acetate & test presses. It’s the sound of New Orleans and the Louisiana swamps blending that Zyedeco beat with an accordion/squeeze box and Con Funk Shuns’ formidable horn section. The result; a unique and infectious arrangement - a dance groove which doesn't diminish the socially conscious lyrics which would surely have Curtis smiling. … ”this is music that could get the most reticent of dancers itching to get out on the floor – and that is pure magic…” Ian Cantley (MorethanWar.com) On the B side, it’s Nu-Soul with 'I've been thinking' (lightly sampling a Northern Soul/Popcorn classic) and first heard to rave reviews as a rough mix via an acetate on the dj decks of Yorks' Waterfront Blues and Soul Club sessions in 2016 where Jay was one of the resident djs. It’s also now the soundtrack to a short film produced by Connor Blackburn at Blackburn Films. JAY CEE ‘I’VE BEEN THINKING' VIDEO REVIEWS “Con Funk Shun sprinkle a helping of Cajun spice across their tasty re-working of 'Move on Up'. York based Jay Cee showcases his Nu-Soul talent on 'I've Been Thinking', his debut release. You shouldn't need to, err, 'think it over twice to define the sample. High quality, on both contrastingly different, sides, another Last Bastion winner.” Mark 'Sarge' Sargeant (Scootering Magazine and Rare Soul DJ ) “Con Funk Shuns 'Move on Up' is the perfect example of the under ground soul scenes’ acceptance of an alternative musical formula. A hint of Caging, a perfect vocal delivery and a musical amalgamation that is set to be a new classic.” Simon Hunt (Rare Soul /Northern Soul DJ & record dealer) “While looking to cover a song from the 70's, we could think of nothing better then to call on master Curtis Mayfield’s song of awareness. With our love of Zydeco, New Orleans and Louisiana, we wanted to shake things up a bit with the old squeezebox.” Michael Cooper (Con Funk Shun) “WOWZER! BRILLIANT Supercharged, pumped up funky driving punchy attitude dance floor detonator and sure to shake the dancefloors and will most definitely be in my DJ box.” Sean Chapman (Northern Soul & Mod DJ, collector & Chapman Records) “Con Funk Shuns’ ‘Move on up‘ a great, must have, upbeat dancer and a fabulous alternative to one of the all time soul classics.” Ray ‘Ginger’ Taylor (The Worlds’ No.1 Northern Soul DJ) Further info, please contact: Andy Bellwood @ Last Bastion Records c/o Detour Records Detour Records, P.O.

a most recent news item... Fatboy Slim is leading DJ lessons to help people with severe mental health problems. The internationally renowned DJ, also known as Norman Cook, is volunteering for the NHS scheme's music workshop sessions. He said that music had helped him "tremendously" through his own mental health journey. "Sometimes it's good to escape your life or your stress for a couple of hours... I need those two hours where I just lose myself to music and dance and flashing lights."

a lot of comparable stories online about how us comic books ended up in uk, Liverpool, Manchester, London clip of one below, google takes ya to more A short history of ballast comics https://g1rm.wordpress.com/2020/04/18/a-short-history-of-ballast-comics/ So to explain what actually happened with this unofficial supply of comics. Ships would load on ballast with comics as back in the day you’d have print runs of hundreds of thousands, so when newsstands returned unsold copies in the US, they’d be used by ships because they were so disposable plus with US comics distribution essentially in the hands of the Mob it was an easy way to kill excess printruns without too many questions. These copies would get to the UK and if not flushed into the Atlantic, they’d be kept onboard or dumped portside and this is where for us it gets interesting. If you lived in a big port city (which I did having grown up in Glasgow) you’d find piles of comics, sometimes slightly water damaged, in markets or newsstands. I remember one stall in the old Barras market, plus one in St. Enoch’s Square where I’d go down and pick up imports such as Amazing Spider-Man #129. shrug
-
so whats this all about Simon?
-
could the 'ballast' remarks have come about if ships were faced with sailing across the Atlantic with not much cargo, and then rather than then having to use water ballast, they instead loaded up with not very valuable cargo eg vinyl records, us comic books, and so on in the cargo holds, that normally wouldn't be worth transporting across?

Word just in about a new Ebook version of 'The Heeey Baby Days Of Beach Music', details follow below Greg Haynes’ massive 13 pound book—THE HEEEY BABY DAYS OF BEACH MUSIC-- chronicling stories of the bands, venues and times that were the late 1960s is now available as an eBook! It is available through Ebay see belwo for the link First published in hardback in 2006, the coffee-table sized book has been out of print since 2009. The thumb drive version contains a new Epilogue that lists the later released CDs 15-17 as bonus content. The eBook contains 557 pages and over 800 photographs. In late 2001, after spending over 30 years reminiscing about those few years he had as a band promoter in the late 1960s, Greg Haynes realized that if someone didn't make a permanent record of the unforgettable music, times, and events of those days in the Southeast, the memories would be lost forever. What started as a book to highlight the most popular bands ended up including groups that made the Beach Music genre a significant music form. By the time Greg wrapped up The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music, every state in the Southeast that had a shoreline was in the book. Greg's retrospective, he says, "is not be a complete anthology of the party bands of the South in the '60s; but I believe we have achieved a fantastic overview of the most significant acts of the era and many of the lesser-known acts as well." The complete eBook on a handy USB thumb drive via First Class U.S. Mail for $29.95 +$3.19 postage and handling. You can now re-live the memories and see all the valuable (and now, many long-lost) images of the era on your laptop, computer, or tablet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284837266428 -
