Teddy Pendergrass
You Can't Hide From Yourself
Philadelphia International
The first official 12’ release of these two walloping classics by one of the very greatest soul singers of all time. Undimmed after forty years.
Sometimes considered the greatest soul recording ever made, this was in the news a few years ago because a copy of the UK release on London Records went for £14,543.
Sensationally, the flip delivers the previously unreleased instrumental version by the Funk Brothers — the Solid Hitbound in-house band including Rudy Robinson, Uriel Jones, Eddie Willis, Bob Babbit and Dennis Coffey.
The victorious if unlikely 2004 return of the legendary Latin soul vocalist.
Bumping, clavinet-led, rare-groove funk… cosmic synths… that unmistakable voice… a modern soul anthem.
Gorgeous, wistful, tentative two-step from her late, hard-to-find, 1974 LP Love Rhymes (with production by Johnny Guitar Watson and David Axelrod).
Bim.
Barney ‘Blair’ Perry was the Blackbyrds’ guitarist for their first two albums. He wrote the mighty Walking In Rhythm. Here he is in 1978 with another killer piece of jazzed-up, how-we-roll, funky disco; massive on the two-step scene.
Soul scorchers from Louisiana. A brilliantly convincing cover of Howard Tate, about relationship mindgames, hazily riven with sexual desire; and hard, driven funk on the flip, about men treating women badly. The red-hot band is Buckwheat and his Hitchhikers, before he turned to zydeco — recorded cyclophonically, according to the original label.
Classic soul sides rewound as state-of-the-art dance music: brilliant, epic house; hard-funk breakbeat.
Private-press gospel boogie from Michigan band Cash Money, featuring full brass and vocal harmony. Plus some ace, synthy, slap-bass, choral gospel soul from Ricky Womack in 1990, in the tradition of the great DJ Rogers.
This time coupled with an unedited version of his crossover modern dancer It’s No Mistake.
Arthur Russell’s 1978 disco smash for Sire Records, in collaboration with Nicky Siano, deejay at The Gallery in New York.
Wilbur Bascomb plays bass… Allan Schwartzberg, David Byrne, Miriam Valle, Peter Gordon, Peter Zummo… Arthur plays cello and piano.
Remastered from the original tapes. With liner notes by Peter Gordon, Peter Zummo and David Byrne.
