timber - mi gente
timber has a reputation as being one of the most exciting & entertaining DJs on the planet, a reputation founded on the principles of showmanship he learnt in his native Northern Ireland from the legendary b-boy crew “Belfast City Breakers”. The “One Man Army”, half DJ, half B-Boy, fully entertaining, self proclaimed “Fresh Prince Of Belfast” has a reputation as one of the hardest working DJs on the b-boy scene, always finding undiscovered gems & cutting them up alongside classic jams with sizeable finesse maintaining the real essence of what break DJing is all about.
Between 2001-2008 Timber lived in Manchester, England where he further honed and enhanced his skills becoming one of the finest B-Boys DJs in the UK, Europe and now undisputably the World. In April 2008 Timber relocated to Barcelona, Spain where he has quickly become the Spanish B-Boy's DJ of choice. Currently a member of Bad Taste Crew (Ireland), Horsepower DJ Militia (Worldwide) & Mighty Zulu Kingz (Worldwide) Timber's reputation of rocking dancefloors in clubs and b-boy jams with his b-boy skills and dynamite DJing dynamics grows and grows... and b-boys beware... if Timber catches you sleeping on the dancefloor he's more than likely to jump out from behind the turntables and show you how to get down!!

chris read - michael jackson: the legacy
I know what you're thinking, the last thing world needs right now is yet another Michael Jackson tribute mixtape? Believe me, I'm pretty much of the same opinion and I didn't take the decision to do this lightly, but the flood of (in too many cases) pretty half baked tribute mixes, radio shows, podcasts over the past week kind of got under my skin. It seemed almost as though people were putting more effort into being the first to get something out than they were into a making decent job of it. I'm of the view that if you're going to mark somebody's life's work, the least you can do is pay some respect by putting some proper work into it.
So that's what I did. Just over a week after Michael's passing, I'm pleased to present what I've (humbly) called THE LEGACY: World's Greatest Jackson Tribute Mix! - 60 minutes, 45 tracks, featuring a selection of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5's original works, edits, acapellas and demos accompanied by records that have sampled them, cover versions, tributes and remixes from the likes of Dwele, Dilla, DJ Spinna and Ian Brown amongst others. All that laced with original interviews and some heavy edits. It's been a labour of love, but I'm feeling like it was worth it.
I know that in the internet world news grows old fast, but it's only a little more than a week since we lost the world's most famous entertainer, one of the greatest to ever do it, so please take a moment to check out the mix. I hope you enjoy.

self says - something out of nothing
Introducing writer, hip-hop vocalist, and producer Self Says also known as Charles A. Vann to family, friends, and imaginary girlfriends. A product of Michigan's blue-collar capitol, Lansing, he was raised on steady diet of his father’s records and video games. He did not literally eat his father’s records because that would reflect bad parenting, but he did learn a lot about life from Mario and Luigi’s quest to save the princess. In a household where rap was somewhat forbidden well forbidden to the ears young boy, the beats and rhymes still found a way to Charles' ears.
“I looked up to my older cousins and uncles and they all listened to rap. I remember seeing tapes, EPMD 12" sleeves on their walls watching Yo! MTV Raps and I knew my mom didn’t approve but I couldn't get enough.” As he grew older SelfSays went from listening to the music, to trying his hand at writing. It is up for debate as to whether or not he was any good at in the beginning, but hey even rap has learning curve.
Graduation not only marked the end of high school but an introduction into Michigan’s hip-hop scene. Here he earned his perquisite stripes through the open mic and battle scenes. Progressing from writing to actually recording, this period produced a flurry of songs. Well not so much songs as some are partial creations, experiments still probably floating out there on the internets somewhere. Some were even heard by fellow artists and DJ’s like I Heart Lung on Asthmatic Kitty and Lawless Element, who enlisted the rookie to appear on their projects.
Some 9 years later marks a second graduation; from recording to releasing as SelfSays debut EP Something out of Nothing is available for free download in conjunction with myspace.com/trueradiopodcast. This record blends hip-hop’s roots with futuristic twist. Insights on maturity and wishful thinking are set to a soundtrack of created by some the most promising up-and-coming beatsmiths of the moment, featuring Samiyam, Bullion, Knowledge and more. So check out what Self says because ...well, he says things.

papito - from lagos to caracas
another diggin trip, another great selection from papito
after two amazing mixes that have been downloaded a few hundred times, here's number three
From Lagos to Caracas Mix
Funky, Jazzy and Psych cuts from the Andes
selected by Dj Papito
01 - Joselo con Manny Delgado - Tema del pavo Lucas (Comencemos) - Discos Victoria
02 - Grupo Bota - Guarishiguara - Polydor
03 - Jimmy Salcedo y su Onda Tres - Berraquera - Philips

16 - Sugar Ice Tea - Bananaticoco - Fuentes
17 - Los Siderals - Dongoh - Lider
18 - Los Orientales - El Dragon - Caliente
These are mainly colombian and venezuelan artists, some from Peru, others from Puerto Rico. Listening to some of these tracks you can hear the big influence Fela Kuti had on the latin community back in the days. While "Let's start" was a huge hit in Venezuela, inspiring bands like Phirpo y sus Caribes and Joselo, "Shakara" was massive in Colombia and was covered by artists such as Lizandro Meza, la Cumbia Moderna de Soledad and Wganda Kenya. The track by Abelardo CarbonÚ, featured in the mix, is another great example of the african roots you can hear very frequently in certain latin music.
Another big influence in these tracks is the afro-american music. Maybe the best known example of the fusion between R&B and latin dance music is what we call boogaloo. Here we have some hybrids where the line between these two styles is more blurred and can't be defined easily. Call them latin funk, latin soul, whatever you want. I can only tell you this is latin music at its best!
All these records turned up during one of my digging trips in South America. Since i've been more concentrated on the folkloric stuffs lately, i must confess i had some difficulties with finding a good number of quality funky tunes to make a new mix. But after a few months searching for the right stuffs, i finally found some really interesting tunes, and some of them were totally unknown to me.
I really hope you will enjoy the selection!
Cheers

ecstasy is the title track taken from the ohio players' fifth album released in 1973 on the westbound label
the ohio players were formed in the late 50's in dayton, ohio, but by the time of this track's release the band had gone through many line-up and label changes
in 1970 the group disbanded, but the new ohio players line-up released their debut 45 called pain on the small local label rubber town sounds shortly after
it was soon picked up for distribution by the detroit based westbound label, reaching the r&b top 40 in late 1971

dj ian head - june 2009 mixtape: summer fusion
dj ian head is back with one of his wonderful monthly mixtapes
if you like what you hear, you should check out everyday beats where you can find loads of mixes, free beat tapes and other free downloads
here's what ian has to say:
There's the back cover of a Ramsey Lewis record that kinda symbolizes fusion for me. It's one of the first records I ever dug up. It has the whole crew of musicians, chillin, rockin various funky styles of clothing. One dude though - he's rockin these sunglasses with an extra lense in the middle - a lense, possibly, for the metaphysical "Third Eye." It's that kinda vibe - mystical, funky, political, and just plain out there - that's some fusion ish. In that spirit, I play Roy Ayer's "The Third Eye" on this mix.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what "fusion" is. There's jazz fusion, rock fusion, disco fusion - obviously, we're talkin bout the fusing of different sounds, styles, genres, ideas, etc. But did it start in 1977 or 1982? Did certain artists pointedly try making fusion music, or did it just come out sounding that way? Maybe some musical scholar can school me in all this, but to me fusion is just that certain fuzzy, funky, borderline cheesy sound that it seems artists from all genres tried out at one time or another, usually in the late 70s and early 80s. Sometimes it worked - a lot of the time, it really didn't. Or at least, for me it doesn't - but some of it might have been the hottest ish out in 1979. I just wouldn't know, I was only one year old.
One thing fusion has blessed hiphop with though is some FUNKY ASS SAMPLES. There's some deep, deep grooves in some of these records. Basslines, choruses of voices, hard drums, funky Rhodes pianos. The key is finding these grooves, and the problem is avoiding the points where the sappy saxophone or harsh guitar suddenly make you think of a bad love scene in an 80s Chuck Norris film. Other times, however, the groove might ride out like a sunny day cruisin with the windows down, some west coast type chillin.
I tried to put together a mix of both short breaks and longer selections. I'm not sure if all of this qualifies as "fusion" technically speaking, but to me it has that abstract, funky quality that you don't find earlier in the 70s, when shit seemed more raw-sounding, or later in the 80s, when it got all Jimmy-Jamm'd out with electro drums and basslines (don't take that as a dis, I'm just describin sounds here - I love me some Rhythm Nation).
These aren't the rarest of records, but on this one, I can't really reveal the selections. These are some obscure-ish, funky samples - and yeah, they're samples. Like, I might sample them. Or others already did. So just vibe out. It's mostly jazz-related musicians, and many who recorded on Blue Note, which put out a lot of great fusion-ish records in the 70s.
Hope you enjoy!

chris read and danny delta - game on
my friend chris read (together with danny delta) had the opportunity to put together this mixtape for adidas
here's what he has to say about the project...
Putting together mixtapes for the love of music is one thing, but being asked to put one together for one of your preferred sneaker brands is kind of a treat. So when Danny Delta and I were asked to put together this CD for Adidas Originals' summer 2009 season launch, we happily obliged. The only theme requirements were the title, "Game On", and the fact that the CD will promote the summer range so what we came up with was a vaguely summer themed selection tied together with a selection of 'game' related tracks and adidas references. There's a smattering of hip hop leading into some jazzier beats type stuff including some interesting edits of classic tunes from the likes of Donald Byrd, Franki Valli and Jean Knight amongst others. Put together and out the door in the mere three days we were given, it's perfect summer barbecue soundtrack business!

alejandro - la colmena de humo
after his n°1 record post not long ago, here's alejandro's first guest mix for the this is tomorrow blog
a great selection all the way, just like the kind of stuff he presents on his new blog called la colmena de humo
here's what alejandro has to say about the mix...
A collection like this one or any other should be like one of those old Victorian Doll Houses that is filled with little doors and every room is different. You can see them in section with all the colored wall papers and little beds. Secret compartments. My sister used to have a modern version where a dragon would jump under a stair. A separate world and an invitation. Hopefully in this collection of rooms, you will be able to find a corridor or a closet where you haven’t been before. But beyond all this bla, bla, what’s at the core is just a bunch of cool records!
Enjoy this (mostly) instrumental laid back excursion...
Intro “ I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe”
1- B.T Express - Do You Like It? (Scepter)
From their first LP a relentless marathon.
2-Willie Mitchell - Teenie’s Dream (Hi)
A side not all that well known of the great “Pop”. Sweet guitar work from Mabon “Teenie” Hodges (hence the name).
3- Banda Nueva - Rumba#1 (Bambuco)
Lost 70’s band from my Hometwon of Bogotá, Colombia. Heavy on the Hammond. Nice...
4- Seven Seas - Pat’s Jam (Glades)
Can’t get enough of that Miami Funk lazy-bass-driving-head-nodding grooves. You can hear them swetin’ it. From the brilliant mind of Mr. Clarence Reid (aka Blowfly), these guys were his backup band according to the little I could find about them.
5- Dennis Landry - Concentration (Soul Unlimited)
Serious wah wah action on this Louisiana B side instrumental. The man’s got that foot well rooted on that pedal. Unique compared to the rest of the funk coming out of the state at the time.
Middle “Turtle”
6-Todd Rundgren - Tic Tic Tic It Wears Off (Bearsville)
From his most eccentric LP “A Wizard, A True Star”, a great little transition crammed in between some seriously disturbing mind frying stuff.
7-Brother Jack Mc Duff - Hunk O’ Funk (Blue Note)
Now two back to back hammond monster tunes by two guys with strange scottish last names. Far away stays the Haggis (thankfully) and in comes the sweaty funk. yes.
8-Jimmy McGriff - The Bird (Capitol 45)
The title of the album from which this 45 was extracted says it all “Groove Grease”.
9-Magnum - Composition Seven (Phoenix)
Best for last? Maybe...Criminally tagged to a B side truly a Doll’s House in itself with latin, jazz, funk, cowbell galore, congas and some strange sounding synths towards the end (don’t leave before that!). This one is a grower.
Outro “What seems to be the problem?”

your n° 1 record: alejandro from la colmena de humo
I feel very honored that DJ Blueprint asked me to do this little piece as I am always checking on his blog for great records and overall original stuff. I knew it was going to be hard to decide on a Number 1 record. The only way to solve this was to think in terms of what is my favorite record now.
I tend to give personal categories to records in their ability to evoke a mood. There are "dawn" records and "humid" records and (my favorite category of all) there are "rainy" records. Among those rainy records my favorite one is this one: Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum and Durr's "You Can't Blame Me" in the Capsoul label. Even before the voices start with the beautiful sound of the vibes there is already this air of melancholy in place, ready for the heartbreak. There are lots of great moments in this 45 but especially that little guitar bridge where it goes into some pretty amazing chord changes (wait for it at 2:10 min into it). It's such a rich arrangement with the harmonies and the congas and the vibes and that funky guitar backing that it is really hard to understand why this wasn't a hit.
You can really feel the great care and love this guys put into this piece of music. They knew they had something special in their hands. Unfortunately the world at large ignored it, but lucky us that have that brief moment in time captured in wax. No wonder why it is called Soul...
That's why I love this record and I hope you will too.
Many thanks to DJ Blueprint and the mighty This Is Tomorrow for inviting me. I hope you will all stop also by my blog for some more sweet sounds,
See ya!

your n° 1 record: double k from parkdale funk
When Blueprint first asked me to pick my number one 45 or LP of all time, I had a million different titles running through my mind. At first I was going through all my rare and unknown 45s hoping to stump everyone with something you’ve never heard before. However, that really wouldn’t represent what this series is all about and sometimes the best things aren’t always hard to find. I thought to myself, if I was stuck on an island and I could only bring one album with me what would it be? “Enter The Wu Tang Clan: 36 Chambers” came to mind, however I definitely have to go with Syl Johnson’s “Is It Because I’m Black” LP.
I first got introduced to Syl when I was listening to Wu-Tang's “Hollow Bones” (off the W album). I’ve always been impressed by Rza’s production, but this one song was flawless, I just loved it. I went out and got the single because I really wanted the instrumental and ended up listening to it over and over again. I never felt so much emotion off an instrumental before; I just had to know where this sample came from. After some digging around I found out that it came from Syl Johnson and the title song to the “Is It Because I’m Black” album. I got myself a copy and since then Syl has been my number one singer, songwriter, arranger and producer.
“Is it Because I’m Black” is often referred to as one of the best soul albums to come out of Chicago, but I need to correct that – it’s one of the best albums to ever come out. This is more than just a music album, it’s also a history lesson. Syl takes you on a lyrical journey all while keeping the production fly, soulful and funky. This album is so amazing on so many different levels.
Here are a few cuts off the album, I hope you’ll enjoy.

del the funky homosapien - funk man: the stimulus package
Funk Man: The Stimulus Package marks Del the Funky Homosapien's 14th project as he has been in this hip-hop game for almost two decades. Starting at the tender age of 17 as protégé to his cousin, Ice Cube, Del quickly rose to the top of the underground hip hop scene with his albums, I Wish My Brother George Was Here (1991) and No Need for Alarm (1993), both released through Elektra Records. Soon after parting ways with the label, Del joined the Hieroglyphics family, comprised of notable emcees Pep Love, the Souls of Mischief, Casual, and Domino. In 1998 the critically acclaimed album 3rd Eye Vision was the first to be released under the Hieroglyphics Imperium label and since then Del has had consistent success with his solo and joint efforts, including Deltron 3030 (2000), Gorillaz (2001), Full Circle (2003), and Eleventh Hour (2008) to name a few.

your n° 1 record: vincent from fufu stew
Hello, kiddies.
The task of picking that one record that floors me every time I play it is quite the challenge. With so many different facets of music that I enjoy at different points in time, answering the question of what my all time favourite record is and why is damn near impossible. However, for the sake of sharing one of my most cherished pieces with you all, I will choose a rather significant record. Now this is a significant record for two reasons. First because the band are from my hometown, and second because this was the first Funk 45 I ever purchased, long before I actually got serious about collecting Funk 45s. Strangely enough, I was more interested in buying oldies reissues about ten years ago. The shop I used to frequent at the time was the premier place to find such things. One day I was doing the usual digging and happened across Blow Your Mind from the Sound Experience.
Here's a nice blurb on the band, thanks as always to the All Music guide...
Sound Experience was a tight, hard-driving funk ensemble with a flair for up-tempo grooves and aggressive, mind-bending guitar work drenched in fuzz and wah-wah effects. Composed of lead vocalist Arthur Grant, Leroy Frailing, Johnny Groman, Gregory Holmes, James Lindsey, Melvin Miles, Anton Scott, and Reginald Wright, the rather large group formed at Baltimore's Morgan State (University) in 1970 and quickly built a local following. During the early '70s, the group hooked up with producer Stan Watson and his Philly Groove/Soulville labels, and moved to Philadelphia to record with him. Early sides like "40 Acres and a Mule" and "Blow Your Mind" displayed the influence of early Funkadelic, but by the time of their first album, 1974's Don't Fight the Feeling, their sound was a bit smoother around the edges. The title cut was a minor hit, and "Devil With the Bust" became an oft-sampled breakbeat classic in the years to come; other singles included "You've Broken My Heart" and 1975's "Boogie Woogie." Although their recorded output was limited, Sound Experience enjoyed an enduring cult following among funk collectors; Collectables issued the career overview The Soulville Collection on CD in 1994 (available here for pennies on the dollar), and acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson used the track "J.P. Walk" in his adult-film saga Boogie Nights.
As always, I am proud to be able to contribute to the This Is Tomorrow experience. Thanks again and again for the invite. Enjoy, have fun(k) and as always, please be safe.
Peace and blessings.

gene faith - family man
eugene jones was a member of the volcanos, a soul quintet hailing from philadelphia formed in 1964
he left the group in 1968, for a solo career as gene faith, releasing several 45's on the virtue label
some of the remaining members of the volcanos went on to form the trammps, who scored a major hit with disco inferno
this track is one of my absolute faves at the moment

your n° 1 record: jopparelli from music selections
Hi everybody, this is Joppa AKA Arthur Jopparelli, representing with my man Marty for our blog: Martini & Jopparelli's Music Selections. I'm very glad our friend DJ Blueprint invited me to write about my number one record on his unique site. What I like in this site is the variety, Blueprint selects a lot of good sounds and inspirations from around the world, and gives warm hospitality to a lot of talented people. I'm honoured to contribute one more time with something different and -i hope- good for ya.
Well, my number one record is a dance single from 1982 by legendary producer Tee Scott (discogs)
First thing first, I love it because it's one of my first records. I found it by chance diggin in one of those "one dollar all" crates in a record shop, where you find the unexpected stuff, you know what i'm sayin? (well actually it was "5000 Lire" crate back in the days, here in Italy). Anyway, i picked it up, saw the group name "Brooklin Express" and the release date and place, New York 1982. So I gave it a quick listen and found out that record was straight bangin! From day one, this record never left my DJ bag when playing around, and every time i play it still works great.
Some years after buying it, something like 8 years later, I went to see Richard Dorfmeister and Jazzanova in a club in Milan and....surprise...they played it! Nobody in the club knew what it was because it's not a common track: nobody except me, smiling and dancing, so proud of my favourite record being played by superstar DJs!
A classic disco track, but very modern indeed, still playable after more than 20 years, this track is basically a remix of Jimmy Bo Horne "Spank". I chose the B-side "Change position", which is a different edit, like a upside-down turn of the main track, starting with a dope Moroder-inspired synth bassline and then introducing the main theme with crazy sirens. Hope you like it!
Peace
Jopparelli

el michels affair - enter the 37th chamber
El Michels Affair, at the core of the retro-soul and funk movement, is led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman. The group began as a series of informal collaborative sessions with musicians from top-selling acts Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, The Budos Band, and Antibalas. In 2005, the group released their debut effort, Sounding Out The City on Truth & Soul, a label co-founded by Silverman and Michels. Since the album's '05 release, the El Michels sound has been prominent on successful collaborations with Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Just Blaze, Adele, and Iggy Pop. Furthermore, in 2007, a horn part written and performed by Leon Michels was lifted and used for Jay-Z's "Roc Boys," the lead single from the American Gangster album. Most famously, however, is El Michels 2007 tour with Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon, which led to the recording of two widely successful 7" instrumental singles for "C.R.E.A.M." and "Bring Da Ruckus." Since then, El Michels Affair has diligently been in the studio, interpreting fifteen of some of the most legendary and well-know Wu-Tang Clan songs, including "Can It All Be So Simple," "Protect Ya Neck," "Cherchez La Ghost," and "Incarcerated Scarfaces" for their upcoming sophomore album, Enter the 37th Chamber, due in stores on April 21st via Fat Beats Records.

kero one - early believers
Former web designer by day and rapper/producer/DJ by night, Kero One,
stands as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story. His
early career was marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling,
and networking to gain exposure for his debut, self produced project
Windmills of the Soul. Persistence paid off with a little help from fate
when one of the 50 copies of his album was picked up in a tiny record
store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate, as Windmills of the Soul
became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates for international
touring and performance opportunities.
Three years later, after a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award and collabos
with Talib Kweli and Mark Farina, Kero One is back with his sophomore
album entitled Early Believers. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged
tracks to upbeat synth-driven party bangers, Kero One features some his
favorite vocalists such as Giles Peterson protegé UK singer Ben
Westbeech, Finland's answer to modern soul Tuomo, and Portland's Ohmega
Watts. Early Believers will be released in April 2009, just in time for
spring cleaning and summer fun.

your n° 1 record: mr. double down from the hook and sling
I was very flattered to be asked by Dj Blueprint to contribute to this series, as This Is Tomorrow is always one of my first points of call when checking out my fellow bloggers on the circuit.
Being asked to come up with your favourite 45 is a pretty difficult task as I'm sure anyone who collects seriously will agree. Once you clock past a certain amount of records and music that a 'normal' person might have, it verges on near impossible as the permutations become endless.
I have opted today for the 45 that had been the hardest in terms of time and money spent to finally cross off of my wants list. 'Dap Walk' by Ernie And The Top Notes Inc. on the Fordom label was a record I first heard Keb Darge spin at his 'Legendary Deep Funk' night at Madame JoJo's in Soho many years back. It's one of those records that make hairs on the back of your neck stand up and I immediately knew I had to track down and own an original copy. Being pretty rare I knew this wouldn't be easy and it was several months later that one finally showed up on Ebay. Not willing to let it go I splurged a decent three figured sized wedge and finally secured my copy after an agonizing week waiting to see if it would show up in the post!
In musical terms it is a near perfect example of up front deep funk and even the small imperfections such as the squeak of Ernie Vincents guitar pedal being picked up by the mikes make it even more endearing. I dropped an article over at my Blog The Hook And Sling here which also includes a great live video as well as some other points of interest about the 45.
Enjoy the cut and remember that saying "They just don't make music like this anymore" couldn't ring truer with this 45!!

eddie floyd - i've never found a girl (to love me like you do)
one of the premier southern soul men of the sixties, eddie floyd began his carreer in a group called the falcons
in the mid 60s eddie floyd signed a writer's contract with the stax label, where he co-wrote one of wilson picketts' greatest hits, 634-5789 (soulsville U.S.A.), with steve cropper
the pairing of floyd with steve cropper resulted in many, many great songs including eddie's biggest hit, knock on wood
knock on wood was just the third stax single to hit number one on the r&b charts although it was just intended to be a demo to be presented to otis redding
later on floyd began writing songs with booker t. jones and this sweet soul 45 is one of them
co-written with al bell, the multi-instrumentalist jones played everything but the drums on this track and later wrote out string arrangements and directed the players
i never found a girl (to love me like you do) went to number two on the r&b charts

hank ballard and the midnight lighters - from the love side
from the early 50s to the early 60s hank ballard was the lead vocalist of one of the most popular and commercially succesful vocal groups, the midnighters
hank ballard wrote one of the midnighters' first major hits called work with me annie in 1954
in 1959 he wrote a song called the twist which was released as a b side, while chubby checker's cover version of the song went to number 1 on the pop charts just one year later
in my opinion, this is one of the baddest grooves the jb's family recorded
the song started as the backing track to marva whitney's i made a mistake because it's only you and was also included on james brown's ain't it funky album as after you done it
hank ballard passed away in 2003, aged 76

your n°1 record: dave from heavysoulbrutha.com
The crazy thing is I only very recently discovered Dyke And The Blazers. I remember hearing the "Some people don't like the way Sally walk" bit in the Stetsasonic song called "Sally" back in 1988 and never knew it came from the original sound of Dyke. I'm pretty sure I first heard Dyke's version on a blog mix and it was like BLAMMO! After all these years, that's where that sample came from? Of course I went on a mission to find any and all Dyke records and was just amazed at the massive amounts of FUNK and SOUL that the short lived group put out. I've only been collecting 45's for a few years now and this is by far my favourite. Not just because of the sample discovery, but it's just simply a BADDASS record. If it's familiar to you, you'll no doubt know what I'm talking about. If not, get ready for the FUNK BLAST of "Let A Woman Be A Woman-Let A Man Be A Man!"
Big thanks to Blueprint, not only for his great spot here, but for kindly inviting me in. DIG IT!
Peace and SOUL,
Dave...

chris read - the diary 1.5 (20 years of the remix)
chris read - the diary 1.5 (20 years of the remix)
Whilst the practice of releasing mixtapes between albums to maintain relevance has become a common practice in recent years, British DJ and producer, Chris Read is turning tradition on its head and releasing what some might describe as an album between mixtape releases.
In January 2008, Chris Read released a mix album entitled ‘The Diary (World’s Greatest Rap Megamix)’, a stunningly intricate 800 track mix chronicling the genre’s landmark recordings in order of release from 1979 to 2007. Quick to gain support from many of the world’s best respected DJs and taste makers (including Andy Smith (Portishead), DJ Food (Ninja Tune), Ollie Teeba (Herbaliser), DJ Format, Plus One (Scratch Perverts) and DJ Yoda), the mix was described by some as one of the greatest hip hop mix albums of all time. With tens of thousands of downloads and radio broadcasts in over 30 countries, the mix has achieved cult status and continues to receive attention via the web.
Just over a year later, with work on ‘The Diary Volume 2’ underway, Chris is releasing ‘The Diary Volume 1.5 (20 Years of The Remix)’, a tribute to the innovations in production and beat making over the last two decades. In just under 80 minutes Chris sets about selecting and remixing one iconic track from each of the last 20 years, in each case paying tribute to the production style and trends in sampling popular at the time of the original release.
From the James Brown influenced sound popularised by the likes of Hurby Luv Bug and 45 King in the late ‘80s, to the jazz sampling trends of the early to mid ‘90s, to the iconic and distinct sounds of DJ Premier and Jay Dee, all the cornerstones of the genre’s development are touched upon. The result is an impressive collection of tracks that might easily be mistaken for lost or unreleased remixes from some of the genre’s greats.

syl johnson - ode to the soul man
syl johnson, the legend who started playing the blues guitar in the 1950's, recorded for labels like vee jay in the early 50's, federal in the mid 50's, twilight/twinight in the mid 60's, hi records in the early 70's and for his own shama record label before semi-retiring from the music business
apparently he decided to start a comeback after hearing his hit, is it because i'm black, being sampled by hip hop artists in the mid 90's
if you look at the names on this 45's label you can tell that this is a great song

your n°1 record: red kelly from the b side, the a side, soul detective
Back in the mid-eighties, Guralnick's "Sweet Soul Music" had just come out, and I read it like it was the Bible or something. Right around the same time, Rounder released "Soul Alive", and Solomon Burke became my new hero. I went to see him whenever he came to New York, and he never failed to just knock me out.
There was a woman who sold any number of things from a cafeteria table set up on 7th Avenue, right in the middle of everything. Sometimes, among all the clutter, would be a pile of 45s she had picked up somewhere. We got to be friends, Laura and I, and somehow it seemed she always had just what I needed. When I saw this single there on the table one day, I couldn't believe my eyes. I took it home and put it in my jukebox (where it remains to this day). It is so incredibly GOOD, that I still can't imagine why it was relegated to the B side. Cut at American Sound in the studio's absolute prime, with Reggie Young and the rest of The Memphis Boys just killing it, the unbelievably talented Atlantic Soul team of Arif Mardin and Tom Dowd took a little known Joe Tex song and turned it into a masterpiece.
My girlfriend at the time just loved this song, and played it to death on the jukebox whenever she was at my house. That should have tipped me off... By 1993, she and I were engaged, and, unbeknownst to me, she cooked up a plan with Solomon one night backstage at a club in New York, and the Bishop of Soul married us during his show that same night.
That was sixteen years ago... this is one special record.

your n°1 record: lexis from music is my sanctuary
The Harder They Come (1972) - Island
Picking one record out of all the timeless ones is pretty close to mission impossible. It becomes more a question of which is the one record which means the most to you, helped you get over heart-break, awkwardness of your teenage years and so on... I'll start with the runner-up: listening to A Tribe Called Quest's "Low End Theory" (cassette of course) as a 13 year old pretty much defined what musical path I would take after. So, that's definetly my teenage years defining record.
The overwhelming winner however is and always will be the soundtrack to "The Harder They Come". It is pretty much the first record I remember listening to as a kid and if that doesn't steer you on the right path musically, I don't know what will. My uncle made me listen to this record when I was about 8 and it's all I would listen to in this giant walkman that weighed about 15 pounds and was about half my leg.
The album has 12 tracks (but 2 of them are there twice! always found that hillarious) and pretty much 8 of the 10 tracks are stone cold classics! 2 of the Jimmy Cliff tracks ("Many rivers to cross" and "The Harder they come") are the kind of songs you send into space and hope that someone green finds it. Its pretty damn close to some of the best things the human race can come up with. (Apart from the pyramids and hmm... Corn Dogs!) After that you have some of the most classic roots reggae and ska tracks out there, "Draw your breaks" (Scotty), "Rivers of Babylon" (The Melodians), "Shanty Town" (Desmond Dekker), "Pressure Drop" (Toots & the Maytals).
So come to think of it picking my favorite record of all time was pretty damn easy. The Harder they come. Hands down. Big time credit is due to my uncle for introducing me to it…

little ann - going down a one way street (the wrong way)
going down a one way street was written and produced by dave hamilton who recorded hundreds maybe thousands of songs
this seems to be ann bridgeforth's only release, although an acetate was discovered in the early 90's and so the song was later released on ace records after they bought the rights to dave hamilton's recordings
unfortunately ann died in 2003 due to kidney failure

the founders - i don't want a second hand love
i bought this next 45 at a friend's house who had a record shop selling vinyl which closed at the beginning of the 90's
he still has stacks and stacks of records and while i was digging through all the 80's crap i found a pile of soul 45's
i bought the whole lot for 0.50 euro each and realised a few weeks later that i found some pretty rare 45's
this one sells for about 50-75 euros and seems to be pretty tough to find

the pharaohs - freedom road
the pharaohs were a jazz/funk band from the windy city, chicago
this is one of my favourite 45's of the moment, such a soulful and brilliant track
the a side features a version of al green's love and happiness which didn't appear on their first album called awakenings
the album is one of the rarest, even the re-release is out of print
their second album called in the basement features rare recordings, live versions, b-sides and was released on luv'n'haight in the 90's
some of the members formed the horn section of earth, wind and fire after the pharaohs broke up in the early 70's
you can check out both albums on the free defendu blog

funky bompa - santo domingo diggin
funky bompa is the host of the sonoton radio show and the man behind the flash black show on ldbk radio
i first heard of him when i discovered one of his radio shows, a poets of rhythm special, a while ago
you can check out his myspace for more amazing mixes, but for now check out this one
Last summer I had the chance to spend a few weeks in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (DR). To make a long story short, I went for a year to Santo Domingo as an exchange student 10 years ago. Now I have a second family, a Dominican one, which I visit on regular digging trips back there. I quickly learned the language (Spanish), the culture, the dances and of course the music.
Being part of the large Antilles, in the Caraib region, DR has a tropical climate. That is not a good point regarding conservation of the precious vinyl. You might hear that in the mix joining this post, but the music is worth it...
Often, records are sold right on the streets. Not many dealers are to be found,
but among the years I managed to know the ones still carrying the "long plays". Private collectors are always a good treat too.
Heat, sweat, moldy record covers, bugs all over the place... Sometimes a dirty job, that resulted this time in a nice 200+ LPs and a handfull 45s to get home.

incomparable seven - funky grand paw
this next 45 by the incomparable seven has been sold for up to 100$
i paid about 25$, another fine example of how prices vary for records
the other known release by this band is called melting study, also released on top hit
top hit was a new york based label so the band may have been from that area too

papito - back to colombia
papito digs colombia, the last mix by papito was so well received that he's back, back to colombia that is
he's back with another great selection of tunes you've never heard
here's what he has to say
Some months ago nostalgia took me back to Colombia. Since i had such a great response to my first mix "Papito digs Colombia", the idea of a new selection has crossed my mind more than once.
After more than 2 months of non stop digging for dusty vinyls i ended up with so much material that one mix wouldn't be enough and wouldn't give justice to the beautiful spectrum of sounds that i found.
So, i had to restrict my area and focusing on the real colombian music from the golden era.
The first mix was just a selection of latin grooves from any part of the Caribs and South America, i called it "digs Colombia" just because this lovely country was the place where i found the records.
But in this mix, apart very few exceptions - which are very colombian related anyway - i'm glad to introduce you to a REAL (someone would say PURE) selection of colombian dancefloor grooves!
Enjoy it!
Papito

the soul investigators - hot pants on fire
the band released their first two 45's as calypso king & the soul investigators in 1998 and 1999
a few 45's on the soul fire label followed, before the band released their music on their own label, called timmion
the album they recorded with nicole willis is undoubtedly one of the best new soul/funk albums ever

kim weston - danger heartbreak ahead
i've been doing this blog for over 2 years now and i wanted to thank all the visitors and my fellow bloggers for the support
kim weston was signed to the motown record label in 1963 where she released a few solo 45's
but her biggest hit was a duet, it takes two with marvin gaye
kim weston and her then husband william mickey stevenson, who was the former a&r head at motown, left in 1967 and later sued the label over disputes about royalties like many other motown stars, musicians and even writers
she recorded several other 45's including this one for various labels

the radar 3: dday one
all the way from los angeles, california, comes dday one
it's easy to compare dday one with dj shadow, but sample based music is more than just entroducing
dday one started in the 90's with dropping the needle on records over and over to loop the desired part, the thing to do without a computer or sampler
15 years of digging through dusty crates and manipulating tape recorders turned into some amazing music
if you like what you hear, check out www.samplist.com for more info and music, including some remixes and mixes
the two tracks are taken from his first album called loop extensions released in 2006
his latest album is called heavy migrations and was released a few months ago
dday one - dust ritual
dday one - sea change

the first artist is a very talented beatmaker/turntablist from luxembourg and goes by the name of swinx
his music sounds like a mixture of dj krush, dj shadow, early ninja tune and mo' wax stuff
he told me that the two songs featured here are a few years old, but he's currently working on different projects

mickey and the soul generation - football
brought to light by dj shadow, mickey and the soul generation recorded numerous funk gems during a rather short period of time
iron leg: the complete mickey and the soul generation was released in 2003 and is probably one of the best compilations of unreleased and rare funk
the san antonio based band released 5 45's, with iron leg being their biggest hit, but football is my favourite track

ray johnson - i heard it through the grapevine
there are many versions of this classic track out there, but this is one of the wildest and best i've heard
this is the b-side to funky way, originally recorded by calvin arnold
i found this 45 on my last trip to london at the music and video exhange in camden and it seems to be pretty rare

the golden toadstools - silly savage
this is my selection for heavy soul brutha dave's world soul spectacular series in celebration of his blog's first anniversary
when you listen to this track you can hear that these guys sure had a
good time while recording this
i have no idea who the golden toadstools were, and it seems like all the other collectors don't know much about them neither
the minaret label was founded in nashville in the early 60's and one of the persons involved was shelby singleton
after the label relocated to florida, finley duncan and record mogul shelby singleton opened the playground recording studio, where they recorded loads of sweet southern soul

the everyday people - the bump part 1
apparently, the everyday people were a side project by kool and the gang
their self titled album was produced by gene redd and is one of the ultra rare funk and soul albums
i've never seen an original copy anywhere, but the album has been re-issued and is easy to find on the internet, with prices ranging from $10,- to $60,-
the bump is a classic party track, but has nothing to do with the disco dance called the bump

edreys - d.u.i./no joke and 6th sense - it's time/arcade fly (with wildabeast)
you know we only feature quality music on this blog, so you really need to check out these talented mc's
edreys, born and raised in buffalo, new york, created quite a buzz with his video on you tube, with 300'000 views of 'i like it' in a month
apparently edreys caught the attention of some label heads, so the future seems bright for this young mc who's currently working on an album to be released in 2008
you should look out and buy a copy of his 'd.u.i.'/'i like it' limited 45 now, before they're gone
edreys will be on tour with camp lo and prince po in april and may, so if you're a promoter or if you know someone who's capable of putting up a show, get in touch and support real music
the first track featured here is a nice breakbeat driven track with a sample you should be familiar with
the second is a remake of the classic eric b and rakim track, with new lyrics that take the track to a new level
edreys - d.u.i.
edreys - no joke
6th sense, also from new york, is one of the artists that are part of the rawkus 50, a project where they signed 50 artists and released digital albums on the label
the result is an album called 'it's coming soon' which was produced by 6th sense and frequency
together they also produced 'think about it' for snoop dogg's the blue carpet treatment album
the mc/producer from new york also did a mixtape with mick boogie, available as a free download, called 6th sense and mick boogie - go for it
the first track featured is taken from the 'go for it' mixtape and was produced by frequency
the second is a collaboration from 6th sense and wildabeast, who's got an album out through rawkus 50 called 'many levels'

this next 45 was released on the fantastic dallas based jetstar label
jetstar was the home of bobby patterson who released his songs on the label until it folded in 1970

and what a release it is
i really dig this track, it has been on constant rotation for the last few months
ian wright included a different version of this track, by althea spencer, on his sister funk 2 compilation

queen eve and the kings - all hail the queen
this was one of the first 45's released on mpm and surely one of the best
here's the official mpm press release sheet
Every record has its story. The one behind this 45 starts three years ago in the city of Copenhagen. Two musicians and funk conaisseurs by the names of Frederik Birket-Smith and Andreas "Dreski" Vingaard invite seven fellow musicians (one of them a bass player by the name of Eve) for a session at the now defunct recording studio of Frederik's father. Their mission: lay down the grittiest funk that has ever come out of Copenhagen. On that night three songs are being recorded. Various funk experts visiting the city got the chance to listen to the songs and leave baffled.
I first heard about their existense through a friend from Stockholm. DJ Mad Mats was guesting at my Soul Power party in Cologne when he told me about this hot funk demo from Copenhagen. Mats was about to get his Raw Fusion label started which eventually turned into a underground powerhouse for quality club music made in Skandinavia. After hearing the Lefties 45 on MPM he sent me a CD-R with the words Funk Project (c) 2001 and an e-mail adress on it. When I put it in my player I was shocked so was my friend the mighty Soul Rabbi. But when I tried to get in touch with the guys I found out that the e-mail adress was incomplete and since Mats didn't had any other contacts I had already filed the tracks under "great lost private burned funk cd". Call it karma but a few weeks later Mats met Dreski by chance in the streets of Copenhagen and when I finally reached him he mailed me back "Good to hear from you Olski, we wanted to contact you anyway."

jc brooks and the uptown sound - alright
i discovered this next band through myspace and they're one of the most promising bands i've heard in a long time
it's not easy to find the good stuff in the myspace jungle but these guys from chicago need to be heard
bill bungeroth (guitar), ben taylor (bass), kevin marks (drums) and jc brooks (vocals) are known as jc brooks and the uptown sound and have been playing together for one year now
their music is a mix of the motown sound, raw soul and they sometimes sound like the lefties soul connection
the track featured here is just a demo, so don't expect the best sound, but the guys will be hitting the studio in february to record a full length album
check out their myspace now and keep your ears open, because i'm sure you'll hear more of them in the coming months

the ramrods - soul express
there's not much info on this 45 by the ramrods
they released two 45's on rampage, the first being the soul train 45
this 45 is absolutely great, sounding like a jb's session all the way
soul express was written and produced by bobby robinson who was the owner of rampage and other labels
bobby robinson was born in south carolina, moved to new york and opened his record shop called bobby's record shop which is still located at 125th street in harlem
king curtis' soul twist was the first release on his enjoy label which was one of the first labels to produce and release hiphop songs, namely by the funky four plus one more, spoonie gee (robinson's nephew) and the treacherous three

you can check out eddy's latest mix for the laid-back team here
here's what eddy has to say about his guest mix for my blog
This mix is a tribute to funk. It started in the mid sixties with ‘Papa’s got a brand new bag’ from James Brown and lasted until the early eighties. Then hiphop started to push funk to the side. James Brown sings in ‘Rapp payback’: I know you heard of Master Gee / But you didn't hear nothing / About J.B.! ;-)

chris read - the diary (world's greatest rap megamix)
the last post of the year is dedicated to the world's greatest rap megamix
chris read has put together over 800 songs from 1979-2007, for this 80 minutes long megamix
these megamixes tend to be unlistenable because there's no flow, no vibe
but this one is really the opposite, although there sometimes are up to 5 songs mixed together, it is cleverly build and it's never over the top
this mix is a lesson to all the bedroom dj's out there who think they are the kings when all they do is blend an instrumental and an accapella
and the best about all this is that you can download the mix for free
so check out music of substance and enjoy the greatest rap megamix

a while ago i featured a song by otis redding and here's another great side by the man who left us 40 years ago

hard to handle was also sampled for one of the classics of the hiphop history, it was sampled by marley marl for the symphony

vincent the soul chef - yesterday's sound... tomorrow
this is a second round knockout
the soul chef is back with another guest mix and it is pure fire
i know alot of you out there like the new school of funk and this mix is for all of you
if you don't know by now, vincent's fufu stew blog is one of my favourite blogs out there
he always amazes me with his mixes, where quality meets quantity
i wonder how many records this man owns
anyway, here's what my man vincent the soul chef has to say...
Hello, kiddies.
This one is something that I've been saving for just the right moment. When my obsession with Funk began to take shape about four years ago, it was then that I discovered the legendary Desco imprint. Of course, it was too little too late as the label folded before it really got off the ground. Thank God for Daptone and the growing list of fine labels that followed, keeping the great tradition alive for all of us to enjoy. Mike, I am sending this one out to you as a thank you for all of your continued soupport, as well for blessing me with the ever elusive second installment of the Desco Funk 45 Collection. Like Uchenna of With Comb And Razor once told me about another uber rare piece, finding hen's teeth is easier.
I feel that it's only right that I share this mix with you and your readers, so without further ado, I present a little ditty that I'd like to call Yesterday's Sound... Tomorrow. A lovely little tribute to the fine artists who are helping to keep Funk and Soul alive in and throughout the 21st century. It's a gentle blend of common and rare ingredients which I hope will properly represent the proverbial new school of Funk and Soul. Dig the lineup, kids...

from where? from luxembourg!
luxembourg isn't the first place you would think of when talking about hiphop
nevertheless there are some nice beatmakers, dj's and mc's coming from luxembourg
kev brown, oddisee and kaimbr came to luxembourg a few weeks ago to drop some verses at the chill mind lab
one of the beatmakers from the chill mind lab, dul started playing drums at age 4 and has been making beats for years
myspace dul
next up is another great beatmaker who has been working with lots of mc's from france and the usa
just listen to his remix of classic (the kanye-nas-krs one track) on his myspace and you can hear his skillz
myspace chi
next up is the most talented and most prolific dj from luxembourg, nanni k
he has been doing shows with dj qbert, mixmaster mike and el-p this year
a few years ago he reached the number 5 spot at the european dmc battle
myspace dj nanni k
hiphop is the universal language spoken by millions of youths around the world
hiphop can even be done in luxembourgish
just listen to this next band and you will hear that you don't need to understand every word to recognize talent
myspace de lab
most people don't know that the average person in luxembourg speaks 3-4 languages
the next mc's chose to write in french
kalo de 78 has been writing and recording for some years now
his first album called vote kalo was released this year and the new album called kalcium will be released in the coming months
myspace kalo de 78
if you dig kalo's style you'll dig the next mc's style too
gospel emcee is kalo's brother and i first heard him freestyle in 1994
he has been doing his thing ever since and keeps on perfecting his skillz on the mic
his latest album called operation sonlight was released a few weeks ago
myspace gospel emcee
to give you a musical taste of the talent luxembourg has to offer i put together a 5 track ep called hiphop deluxe(mbourg)

melting pot - kool and the gang
next up is a great version of kool and the gang, originally written by the band of the same name
i prefer this version by melting pot, a rock band who recorded some funky numbers for their only album called fire burn, cauldron bubble released in 1971 on ampex
i was looking for this 45 for a long time, but didn't want to pay 50$ for it
just two weeks after saying no to the internet dealer who wanted 50$, i bought the 45 for 2£ (about 4$) in london

rare earth - i just want to celebrate
the next band was formed in 1961 as the sunliners, before changing their name to rare earth seven years later
when motown decided they wanted to launch a new division focusing on the white audience, rare earth was the first band to be signed to the division named after them
the band played a lot of motown songs in their shows, so their sound was not far away from the sound motown wanted
when their first album was released most of the people thought that the band was black, but it consisted of white guys
rare earth wasn't the only white band or singer signed to motown, but they were surely the most successful
this 45 was taken from their album one world released in 1971 and the drum break was sampled many times
the band left motown/rare earth in 1978, but are still playing live shows today

otis redding - nobody's fault but mine
on december 10 it's gonna be 40 years that one of the greatest r&b singers left us
on that day in 1967 otis redding's private jet crashed into lake monoma in madison, wisconsin, leaving just one survivor (ben cauley of the bar-kays)
born on september 9, 1941 in dawson, georgia, he was a big influence on all kinds of musicians from aretha franklin (who covered otis' respect) to jim morrison to the rolling stones
his last recording session in november 1967 brought us sittin' on the dock of the bay, a great track that marked a departure from his raw r&b style
issued after his death, as many other 45's and albums, the song earned him a posthumous grammy award
otis released over thirty singles and ten original albums in his short recording career which spans a mere six years
this track is the b-side from another posthumous 45 released in 1968 on atlantic produced by steve cropper

wilmer and the dukes - get it
here we have another great 45, i play this one in all of my dj sets
wilmer and the dukes are a band from the new york area
except for wilmer all of the members were white which made them stand out even more
they played from 1961-1974 at various locations around upstate new york
give me one more chance/get it was their first 45 and was released in the spring of 1968
their only album the self titled wilmer and the dukes was released in 1969 on aphrodisiac records and sold 600000 copies
the band disbanded in 1974, but reformed in 1988 to play two sold out shows to raise money to help pay wilmer’s medical bills
wilmer was not in good health and so he couldn't be with the band as they started to play shows as the legendary dukes
they're still playing shows today although the last original member retired in 2004
this is the uk version, released on action records, a specialist soul record label
this 45 was the first release on the newly formed label and over the next two years the label released 57 singles and 12 albums

general crook - do it for me
general crook moved to chicago after high school where he managed to get a recording deal with capitol records at the age of 24
but after just two years and two 45's on capitol he moved on to the next label
this was probably due to the fact that the two 45's had failed to reach the charts
in 1970 he released the sought after gimme some on the down to earth label before moving on again
after a short stint at the wand label, where he recorded a few 45's and his only album called general crook, this 45 was released in 1974 again on down to earth
this 45 was produced by walter and burgess gardner and the backing band are the soul crusaders

freddie scott - (you) got what i need
freddie scott, who died in june this year, was perhaps the most underrated soul singer there ever was and will be
if it wouldn't be for this song that has been sampled by biz markie for just a friend, not many would know of the man
freddie scott's one moment of fame came with his first release on shout in 1966, the brilliant are you lonely for me baby, reaching the number one spot on the r&b charts
bert berns who was the owner of shout records, recorded over 100 takes of are you lonely for me baby with freddie scott and it was worth it
freddie recorded his first songs in 1956 for the j & s label from new york, where he started out as a writer, but his recording career was cut short because of a call from uncle sam
his breakthrough came with a song that wasn't written for him but for chuck jackson
after recording a demo of hey girl, the people at the label liked it so much that they asked freddie to record it again, with phil spector participating in the final mix
the success of hey girl, reaching the top ten on the r&b and pop charts, sent freddie from behind the writing desk onto the road
his first album called freddie scott sings was released shortly after on colpix, a columbia records subsidiary, in 1963
in 1964 freddie released another album and a few 45's on columbia records, before moving on to the shout label
the label was home to lots of great artists including the exciters, roy c, jerry o, erma franklin, jackie moore and many more but after the death of bert berns in 1967 the shout label and freddie scott struggled to get back to the top

vinyl record day
this is a special post to celebrate vinyl record day
the worst thing about luxembourg is that there is not one vinyl selling record shop
the good thing about that is that most of my records are really special to me, because i bought most of them in different citys around the world
luxembourg is really in the middle of europe so other citys like paris, london, brussels, amsterdam are all under 1 hour away if you travel by plane
barcelona, berlin, manchester are about 1 hour 30 minutes away if you travel by plane and you can find great record stores in all of those citys
i still remember my first time in london where i bought about 20 albums in one day
only to do it again the next day when i found the next record store, leaving my wallet empty for the rest of the week
i have been to london about 30 times since, discovering and buying many many records
nowadays you can buy anything you want on the web but most of the records are overpriced and you can never be sure if a mint record is really a mint record
that's why i've never bought a record on e-bay and i don't like to buy vinyl on the web (although i do buy records from dealers that i trust)
so the first thing i do if i visit a city is look for a record store where they sell vinyl
i visited lots of record stores in my 20 years of collecting music and i still remember the day i bought my first album, the jimi hendrix - war heroes album on the french barclay label in a store in luxembourg
the last vinyl record store in luxembourg closed a long time ago (i think in 1991) and the last record i bought there was a tribe called quest's - people's instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm album
even after 20 years of collecting records my collection is not that big, i have about 2500 albums and 500 singles
but for me it's not the number of records that's important, you can have 30000 records with 20000 of them being crap
keb darge said he has about 5000 records, but everybody knows what kind of records this guy has
he's the man who bought the m&s band's - egg roll acetate for 20 £ and sold it to a japanese collector for thousands of dollars
for me that's the thing to keep in mind if you want to start a record collection
there are millions of records out there, you just have to find the good ones
here's a song from the first record i bought, the jimi hendrix - war heroes album to celebrate the vinyl record day and to bring back some good old memories
this album was released in 1972 on the barclay label and features tracks like highway child, tax free and izabella
jimi hendrix - bleeding heart
