CD

Timeless funky grooves from the The New Mastersounds – the decade + strong UK combo that's been one of the very best and most vital forces in the international funk revival pretty much since its inception! Breaks From The Border marks the first time the group has recorded an album in the US – in the border town of Tornillo, TX (hence the title) – and it's one of their best albums. The studio was stocked with vintage keys, amps, drums and recording equipment – and the record truly has the warmth and true sounding vibe of some of our favorite jazzy funk records of the late 60s. The New Mastersounds deliver some group vocal hooks here and there, but their bread & butter has always been a killer groove, and that's still the deal. They're also impeccable musicians – Eddie Roberts slaying us with the guitar, Simon Allen on drums, Pete Shand on bass and Joe Tatton on Hammond, Fender Rhodes and other keys. Includes "Take What You Need", "Run The Gauntlet", "Free Man", "Freckles", "On The Border", "Walk In These Shoes", "Passport", "Josus", "Can You Get It?", "Turn It Up" and "Up In The Air".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Aldorande
Favorite (France), 2019. Used
A jazz funk killer from Aldorande – a French quartet that features some mighty nice keyboards from Florian Pellissier, who we also really love on his own recordings too! The style here is different than those, though – very tight rhythms with a slightly cosmic core – almost jazz ... CD
Concord, 2022. Used
An unusual project from Butcher Brown – a set that was originally written as a hip hop project for MC Tennishu, and which only gets plenty of instrumentation from the Butcher Brown combo, in their best funky jazz mode – but also has an added large ensemble really bumping up the sound! ... CD

Le Deltaplane
Favorite (France), 2018. Used
Great sounds from Andre Solomko – an artist who's been giving us some great 70s-styled music in recent years, and may well have topped himself with this fantastic set! Andre plays alto and soprano sax, in a setting that's got the warm glow of a sweet 70s fusion record – but this time ... CD
