Yet another excellent deep funk compilation from the folks at Goldmine/Soul Supply, who set the standard for obscure funk reissues with their ten-volume Sound of Funk series, and just keep on going. Rare Funk Liberation, Vol. 1 offers no sign that the label has exhausted its supply of hard, high-energy funk rarities -- in fact, it features 18 tracks instead of the usual Goldmine 16. The title might be taken to imply that the tracks here have some sort of continuous black-pride theme, but that's not the case -- it's just the singles themselves that are being set free into the marketplace after decades of neglect. There is, however, a welcome skew toward female funksters in the selections, and there's even one immediately familiar name -- Little Eva, singing a sassy "The Wind" and sounding not as little as in her "Loco-Motion" days. Joyce Williams' "The First Thing I Do in the Morning" and Kim Tomango's "Not by Bread Alone" are collector favorites, and Pearl Dowell serves up a fine leadoff track in "Good Things"; meanwhile, the bands Union ("Strike") and London Fog & the Continentals featuring Brenda Lee Jones ("Easy Mover") both sport tough, confident female lead singers. Elsewhere, Yesterday Today & Tomorrow make the inspired choice to write lyrics about playing their "D Minor Vamp," while Busey's Soulblenders puree their way through a crazed "Soul Power, Pt. 2" (terrible pun, but they do). The Blenders Ltd. and Lee Fields & the Devil's Personal Band both offer classic deep funk instrumentals in "You Got It All, Ain't No More" and "The Bull Is Coming," respectively, and it's well nigh impossible to resist James Fountain and the Soul Chargers' exhortations to dance the "Soul Charge, Pts. 1 & 2." Deep funk fans have another Goldmine comp to add to the collection. (Steve Huey, Allmusic)

Punk 45: Kill the Hippies! Kill Yourself! The American Nation Destroys Its Young - Underground Punk in the United States of America, vol. 1 @320
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/29328479/file.html
Punk 45 collects rare, obscure, or outright classic single releases from the earliest days of punk, proto-punk, art rock, and all other middle ground of the raw, angry, and exuberant early years of 1973-1980. Released by Soul Jazz, the 21-track compilation coincided with the release of a huge book of the same name depicting the cover art from picture sleeves of hundreds of punk 45s from that golden era. Tracks pop up from bands both highly revered and lesser-known from scenes in Detroit, Cleveland, New Orleans, and other hubs of punk activity, including songs from legendary acts like Pere Ubu, Tuxedomoon, the Urinals, Electric Eels, and many others.

Jean Paul Satre Experience
The band was formed in 1984 by Dave Yetton (vocals, bass guitar), Gary Sullivan (drums), and Dave Mulcahy (guitar). They were later joined by a second guitarist, Jim Laing. Their first crudely recorded demo tape was supplied to campus radio stations around the country in a can. It contained early versions of songs like "Einstein" and "Crap Rap" that would appear on subsequent releases. In 1986 they were asked to record a track for the "Weird Culture, Weird Custom" compilation produced by the student radio network. Their track was "Let That Good Thing Grow" - re-released on their first album. They were subsequently signed by Flying Nun, who issued their eponymous début EP in January 1987, and début album Love Songs the same year, described by Allmusic as "an exceptional - if short - affair". After two further albums for the label, they added keyboard player Russell Baillie and abbreviated their name to the JPS experience after being threatened with legal action by Sartre's estate.[1] After three EPs, Baillie departed in 1993, and the band released their fourth album, Bleeding Star, which took a noisier approach than their earlier recordings, drawing comparisons with Pixies and My Bloody Valentine. Mulcahy had left during the album's recording, forming Monster and later Superette and Eskimo, who released one album before shortening their name to Kimo. He was replaced by Matt Heine, formerly of Solid Gold Hell. The band continued until their split in 1994.
After the demise of JPS Experience, David Yetton recorded two albums with The Stereo Bus and one solo album, as well as playing with The Mutton Birds. James Lang released one solo album and Gary Sullivan performed on the first Stereo Bus album and on early Dimmer releases. Sullivan joined Solid Gold Hell.

There can never be too much classic funk and soul and one's collection.
Thanks RYP!
Thank you Psyclist!
Love, love, love that band (and my turntable isn't working and nearly all my JPS is on vinyl).
Track one on the 'Precious' EP is corrupt. (When I can extract it, it omes in at 1:44)
Any chance of a re-up?
