The Dynamites

Kaboom! (Outta Sight Records)

From Music City, TN, the Dynamites fuse gospel soul with J.B.'s-style
horns to produce funk that runs the gamut from sinful Saturday night to
blissful Sunday morning. Fresh out of retirement, soulman Charles
"Wigg" Walker provides the raw and real vocal stylings. 

Joe Perkins and the Memphians (Plush) 

"Looking for a Woman"
Forgotten
Memphis soul belter Joe Perkins stalks a tricky, low-slung rhythm on
this classic slice of deep Southern soul. Sounding like a high-strung
Johnnie Taylor with a lingering throat ailment, Perkins rasps about
faith and love, while a wheezing, Booker T.-influence organist and an
over-caffeinated drummer battle for control of the groove.

You asked for it, so here they are! We’ll be providing an occasional

Dalle note di copertina del 12" di DJ Qbert Secret Of The "Y" Formula: 

A MESSAGE FROM THE ULTRA
KNIGHTS: Sol-Kaya (pronounced
soul-kai-ya), or as we know it here as
skratching, has been around for many
ages. Much of it’s origins have been
kept hidden by a powerful secret
skratch society known to us as the
Free Sound Masons. These master
sound shifters keep the information
hidden from us in order to control and
rule the skratch world with their so
called new styles and techniques only
to feed from the worship of their blind
followers. Little do these blind ones
know that all the magic is nothing
more than ancient ideas of the past
being brought to this time once again
for use by the all knowing Free Sound
Masons. The names of these
members would surprise you but for
safety purposes they will not be
revealed..

In this age of Aquarius here on earth,
we see the art of Sol-Kaya has
resurfaced as a turntable with records.
In the past and on other worlds, we
have found Sol-Kaya devices that take
on many forms and some that have no
form at all. There are so many that
your only limit to how many ways
sound can be forged is with your
imagination.

Many practitioners of Sol-Kaya
throughout the universe are ageless
and incredibly skilled. Their sounds
are far more superior than anything
most earth beings could come to
achieve. We can only say that the Sol-
Kayans of this earth still display a wide
range of beautiful expression even in
their suppressed surroundings. The
time is now for earth’s Sol-Kayans to
see beyond what they know and
become everything they imagine!
We the Ultra Knights have come to this
planet here on a mission to free your
minds and make this sacred
knowledge available to you as we too
have access to the universal Oracle of
the Sol-Kaya arts. We now reveal one
of these secret systems and have
embedded upon this record what is
known as the "Y" system. The sounds
of this age and world have been
scattered and assembled onto this
ancient template in order that you may
feel at home as well as being
connected to the energies of the
universal Oracle.

Creation is now at your fingertips as
you are the first to absorb the power of
this sacred tool and release the ancient
Sol-Kaya arts in you! 

Your friendly neighborhood…

Ho aggiunto queste foto di lp funk/hiphop spero che apprezziate lo sforzo.

I dischi riprodotti nelle foto fanno parte della mia collezione.
Ho deciso di fotografarli perche’ le immagini delle copertine sono ormai entrate nel mio subconscio e anche perche’ certi lp assumono lo status leggendario di vere e proprie opere d’ arte.
Tutti i dischi che ho fotografato sono originali.
Un ringraziamento particolare a Cinzia, Silvia, Marco, Luca, Roberto e Alessio di Rock Bottom Records, in  Via degli Alfani 34/r (rosso) a Firenze, per tutte le “sacre reliquie” che mi hanno procurato. Grazie!!! Ci vediamo presto li’ da voi! http://www.rockbottomrecords.it – per il catalogo online –
Un abbraccione alla Robi WJM e a Matpogo che mi hanno fatto ascoltare tonellate di dischi che non conoscevo. Put your finger in the porno!
Un grosso bacio alla Kate per tutto l’ aiuto e i consigli che mi ha sempre dato. (^o^) xxx! Never trust a hippie…
Lunga vita al vinile!!!
