Ray BARRETTO

Mercy Mercy Baby (2:45)
Mercy Mercy Baby (instrumental) (3:02)

Review: Puerto Rican music legend Ray Barretto has a seriously impressive biography, including spells with the Tito Puente Orchestra and the acclaimed Fania All Stars. This tasty seven-inch single serves up one of Barretto's best boogaloo-era cuts, 1968 single and Acid album track "Mercy, Mercy Baby". It remains a fine song, wrapping a jaunty salsa rhythm in various boogaloo aural hallmarks, including impassioned vocals, funk-influenced horns and an incessant piano riff. Interestingly, this edition doesn't feature the original single B-side, but rather a previously unissued instrumental version. Shorn of the vocals and pop production, it feels breezier and heavier, with additional trumpet solos that will wind their way into your subconscious.

Review: If you know Blunt's story then you'll already know how genuinely cool, exciting and creative he is. If you don't, look it up - he didn't even start learning to playing music until his mid-30s and he regularly touted his lo-fi, wonky community-spirited fuzzy funk by busking and performing at old people's homes. A big influence on Luka Bop founder David Byrne, Dean Blunt, Dam Funk and many more, this is the first time his work has been available since his highly sought after self-released album Gentle Persuasion. Scuffed, scratched and strangely mixed down, his status as an 'outsider funk' spokesman makes complete sense when heard in all his glory. Genuinely unique.

CHICAGO GANGSTERS

Gangster Boogie (7") (1 per customer)

Dynamite Cuts

Cat: DYNAM 7021. Rel: 16 Nov 18

Gangster Boogie (4:11)
Why Did You Do It (3:59)

Review: For their latest essential seven-inch single, the Dynamite Cuts crew has raided Chicago Gangsters' 1975 debut album, "Blind Over You". Neither of the two tracks on offer has been featured on a "45" before. On the A-side you'll find "Gangster Boogie", a seriously heavy, Clavinet and saxophone-laden funk wriggler whose snappy drum break has appeared on numerous hip-hop jams over the years (including LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out"). On the flip you'll find the even more riotous and life-affirming funk-rock masterpiece "Why Did You Do It". Rich in rasping horns, wild organ lines and gnarly guitar riffs, it's just crying out to be played loud over a heavy soundsystem.

Drum & Bass Osaka Japan

Cat: DB 012. Rel: 12 Jul 17

Billy Cole, Davis & Crooks - "Woman Bump All Night" (3:26)
Billy Cole - "Woman" (3:09)

Review: For contractual reasons, Jamaican soul singer turned composer, producer and arranger Winston Francis often worked under the alias "Billy Cole". In the 1970s, he released a string of fine singles and one album using the pseudonym, most of which have now become collector's items. "Bump All Night", a fine chunk of intergalactic Caribbean funk drenched in Clavinet lines and dub-delay, was first released in 1975 and features the hitherto unknown Davis & Crooks (believed to be Bobby Davis and David Crooks AKA Dave Barker). Francis goes solo on the flip side, lending his Nat King Cole meets Harry Nilsson style voice to the string-laden torch song "Woman". This was originally the title track of his sought-after album of the same name and has previously never been released on a "45".

Cat: ST 45002. Rel: 05 Oct 15

Who Are You? (4:53)
I Wanna Take A Chance With You (4:18)

Review: More recently spotted with The Georgia Soul Drifters or The Coasters, Early Clover's recording history can be traced back almost 40 years with this previously super-rare 45. With his soft-but-arresting tones, his yearning vocal style is comparable to Stevie Wonder, especially on the slow and dreamy Innervisions-esque "Who Are You?" Meanwhile on the B, "I Wanna Take A Chance With You" switches dreams for funk reality with a Kool & The Gang style feel-good throw down. Silky.

FELONY THEFT

When You Have Love (7")

Athens Of The North

Cat: AOE 021. Rel: 22 Sep 16

When You Have Love (1:51)
Run For Cover (2:48)

Review: Another week, another masterful 7" reissue from the unstoppable Athens Of The North. Moreover, it's another sublime find from the label, and it sticks closer to their usual trick of finding one-off soul singles from much coveted artists of the '70s and '80s. Felony Theft only released this one single back in 1972, "When You Have Love", but you can understand why AOTN would want to resurface its dusty percussion for the modern audience; it's one of those rare tunes that sounds like nothing else from the genre, a quirky piece of magic for the diggers. "Run For Cover" is fun, upbeat but less alluring than its A-side sibling, but that is not to say that it isn't also a fine slice of soul-funk mastery. Go.

No More Games (4:13)
Never Been Better (4:19)

Review: Since launching last year, the output of Canada's Outrun Records has proved to be as colourful and addictive as the legendary 1980s arcade game that inspired its name. Format 440's first single for the imprint is every bit as kaleidoscopic and funky as you'd expect - A side cut "No More Games" is particularly infectious, sounding like a combination of Roger Troutman's talkbox-sporting synth-funk and eight-bit arcade game soundtracks. Flipside "Never Been Better" is a little bolder melodically and undeniably warmer, with ear-catching piano riffs, guitars and positive synth chords rising above Linn Drum style beats and a killer electronic bassline.

Cat: ATH 040. Rel: 23 Feb 17

Since I Was A Little Girl (3:33)
Straight Talk (3:28)

Review: For their latest dive into the depths of funk history, Athens of the North travels back to 1978 and the debut of John Hawes and Velma Bunch's obscure Hard Drivers project. The record initially appeared on Hawes' own short-lived imprint, and his since become a sought after 7" amongst serious collectors. "Since I Was A Little Girl" is a disco-era funk gem, with guest singer Vivian Lee providing a brilliantly confident vocal to compliment Hawes and Bunch's driving, horn-heavy backing track. On the flip you'll find original B-side "Straight Talk", a touching torch song full of harmony backing vocals, impassioned builds, and lyrics capable of melting even the stoniest of hearts.

Beautiful Day (2:52)
Beautiful Day (Drums) (3:00)

Review: Athens Of The North celebrate the longstanding contributions of host, presenter, writer, personality and occasional singer Bernard "Spider" Harrison. Recorded sometime around 1970, and fetching large triple figures between collectors, the feel good bluesy soul cut "Beautiful Day" first landed on Lulu Records and has barely seen the light of day since... Until now. And it's loaded with a never-before-released drum cut. Don't sleep, though. Only 500 of these have been pressed.

Review: Now a high chief and Kenyan diplomat, Onyeabor was once one of Africa's most forward-thinking popular music contributors. Released in 1983, toward the end of his eight album discography, the two extended cuts on Good Name reflect the emergence of electronic music and how it influenced African pop culture. With conscious lyrics about value and soul, both tracks capture one of the most exciting times in recent musical history. Truly unique.

Sonically it's just as sweet with widescreen production, fireside harmonies and pianos that could meander on for days and you'd never get bored. Previously rarer than unicorn knickers, this Underground Resurrection re-release comes our way the same week as the Second Resurrection 45. AOTN are clearly working on biblical form right now.
