The legendary first EP! We've always been a fan of the Beatnuts, or later Ghetto Professionals production, but none of their recordings as the Beatnuts are better than this first EP. Includes "Reign of the Tec" (with the Grand Puba sample), "No Equal", "World's Famous"... read more

The Beatnuts continue the gimme-the-cash theme (see "Find That Sh*t", "Do You Believe In God") on the third single from the Stone Crazy LP, but this time its the its hidding assets from the IRS trick. Nice guest vocals from Big Punisher and Cuban Links.... read more

A rare bit of Florida funk from the 70s – an album recorded by TK during the height of its soulful run at the time, but never issued until now! The group's headed by vocalist Becen Padron – who also plays keyboards, guitar, and drums – and the rhythms have a snapping, funky,... read more

Late 80s/Early 90s. New Copy ....

Drums Of Trinidad ... LP
Cook,
Late 50s. Very Good ....
$23.99
Awesome session of early hand drum recordings from Trinidad. Largely an ethnomusicological document, this set has some insulting colonialist commentary on the back, but the rhythms in the grooves are totally smoking, with titles like "Drumology", "Calypso In Drums", "Koroma... read more
"Skillz in 98", features Mad Skillz commenting on the then current state of underground hip hop. Hype vocals, mellow production by the Bedroom Wizard. The b-side features Booda Man, Don Caban and Bilal with more atmospheric production and stronger vocals.... read more
Bee Gees —
Idea ... LP
Atco,
1968. Very Good+ ....
$5.99
Things are getting slightly more complicated for the Bee Gees here – but we mean that in a good way! The vocals are superb – soaring forth with this unique sort of majesty, and light years away from their 70s disco pop styles – and the backings are a strange mix of rootsy and... read more
A really unique album from Molly Bee – a singer with country roots, but who comes across here like some of the best jazz vocalists on late 50s Capitol Records! Backings might have a touch of western in the mix – like some occasional steel guitar or backing vocals – but they've... read more

Sax 5th Ave ... LP
CRC,
Early 60s. Very Good ....
$6.99
An obscure session from Plas Johnson – recording here away from Capitol, under another name, quite possibly for contractual reasons! The album's got the gentle groove of Plas' best records of the time – deep deep tenor sax solos, recorded in a moody, echoey, late nite setting –... read more
Includes Beethoven's "Symphony No 1 In C Op 21" and the "Egmont Ouverture Op 84", plus Wagner's "Lohengrin, Prelude To Ackt III", "Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg, Prelude To Act I", and "Tannhauser, Overture & Venusberg Music".... read more
Maybe the greatest record we've ever heard from Beggar & Co – a set that sparkles strongly from a host of excellent guest work – not just from Incognito, but also from some key American musicians as well! The groove is tighter than ever – and very much in the 70s-inspired... read more
A massive collection of work from Beggars Opera – Vertigo Records giants who work here with a heck of a lot of great work on organ! The set features a fair bit of music from each of the group's four albums – Act One, Waters Of Change, Pathfinder, and Get Your Dog Off Me – plus... read more

Kenny Dope takes on the funkiest sounds of the Miami Soul generation – on a single that's got more heavy funk than most full albums! Side one features a great edit of Beginning Of The End's "Come On Baby" (aka "Come Down Baby") – a groove that's just as heavy as... read more
Eastern tinged jazzy funk rock from Dutch born Okko Bekker! "East Indian Traffic" has a totally wicked funky backbone and a spindly, dexterous sitar way out front. Some jazz funk horns kick in as it goes along, too. "Ganges Delta" as another gem, less sorta soundtrack pulpy... read more
