Massive bounce to the ounce on the A-side, guaranteed to boing a dancefloor into a vibrational mess.
Four honed earhole sluicers, on the flip.

Winston Jarrett fronting a characteristically rugged, deep-funk Family Man rhythm.

CD from Waxtime.

OG had been a UK-resident for five years by the time of this Brenton Wood cover, recorded here during the Soul Vendors 1967 tour. (One night Jimi Hendrix was the support.) A Procul Harem on the flip.

1976 recordings by the Texas Twister, never before released.

‘Producer Bob Porter brought the Texan guitarist to Prestige in 1970, where he recorded three albums as a leader and over a dozen as a session player, showing himself to be a wizard at playing funky licks and energised solos.
When Porter left Prestige to set up Eastbound Records in Detroit — as a branch of Westbound Records — Sparks followed on, and Texas Twister was his label debut, in 1973. The incredible rhythm section of Idris Muhammad, Sonny Phillips, Caesar Frazier and Wilbur Bascombe make this album a sure-fire funk bomb. On the front-line, a hard hitting horn section that includes Cecil Bridgewater and John Faddis is a perfect foil for Sparks.
‘With the monster acid jazz club cut Whip Whop and the frenetic Texas Twister, as well as a beautiful rendition of the Four Tops Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I Got).’

Deadly 1990 outings by the This Heat drummer — grooving, stripped, moody assassinators — with Versions by Maxmillion Dunbar and JD Twitch, evoking Photek, Premier, Giallo, Belgian acid…

Terrific piano-trio record, originally out on Dootsie William’s LA-based Dootone label in the mid-50s. With Leroy Vinnegar and Lawrence Marable. True blue jazz. Miles loved him. Very warmly recommended.
