The Richard Evans jazz funk terror.
Classic Latin soul, following up Watermelon Man, co-written by Pat Patrick from the Arkestra. (Subsequently a massive UK hit for Georgie Fame, using Jon Hendricks’ lyrics, arranged by Tubby Hayes.) Both sides, failsafe boogaloo destroyers.
Stone killer Californian funk from 1972, raw and banging, with juddering bass, two tough breaks, and desperately soulful, utterly compelling falsetto pleading.
A proper reissue this time around, courtesy of Ubiquity.
Stone classic disco heaven; and a scarcely known, tripping, randy little Fuqua of an instrumental version of I Need Somebody, on the flip.
The first reissue of these two superb 7’ edits since back in the day.
Ace, freaky deaky boogie — dense, extrovert and synthy — originally out on Oil Capital.
Hypnotic, infectious space-funk from Chicago’s south side — and some bedroom funk on the flip — produced by Staple Singer’s engineer Don Greer in 1980.
