Dunham/Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $17.99 18.99
The cover sticker bills this one as sounding like a lost collaboration between the Beach Boys and Delfonics – although for our money, we'd lean a bit more towards the latter – as the Sha La Das have a surprisingly strong approach to harmony soul!

Gondwana (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $19.99
A very cool little combo – one that almost sounds like a funk band working with broken instruments!

One of the more unusual collaborations we've heard in recent years – and one that shouldn't work as well as it does!
