Funk 45 Sessions @320
This is an incredible album. If you love funk, buy it! If your looking for breaks, buy it! Worth the price just for the Lee Sains' "Them Hot Pants" (part of the Stax "Golden 13" at the legendary WattStax concert), this album also contains great cuts from James Brown and associated artists such as Ann Sexton, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, the oft sampled "Impeach The President" by The Honey Drippers, Ovides' (record label) house band, The T.S.U. Toronados, super heavyweight funk horns from The Fabulous Originals, civil rights classic "Push on Jesse Jackson" by the Pace-Setters, blaxploitation classic "(We Gotta) Bust Outta the Ghetto" by Moody Scott. These are just some of the diamonds in a little box full of jewels, there's not one weak tune on the album. This album covers so many facets of funk (without ever straying close to disco), it belongs in your collection, BUY IT! (Underground Soul)
Described as a collection of “three dozen of the hottest and heaviest funk 45s to ever hit street” this 2-CD collection, covering the years 1969-1974, is indeed a funk lovers dream. Like other CD’s in this “Sessions” series, the cover artwork is somewhat cheesy, but the music is first-rate.
I’ve bought several CDs in this “Sessions” series, compiled by Union Square Music in the UK, and like the other volumes, this one is totally satisfying. They have a few big name/popular names like James Brown, The Meters, Fred Wesley & the JBs, Marvin Gaye, and Kool & The Gang (although the songs by these artists are not ones you’ve heard countless times already), and a few “second-tier” artists that you may have heard of but haven’t heard such as Ann Sexton, Z.Z. Hill, Cyril Neville, Black Nasty, and Andre Williams. But for me the real draw is the more obscure artists on here, nearly all of them delivering incredibly good tunes.
“Impeach the President” by the Honeydrippers and “Them Hot Pants” by Lee Sain might have dated lyrics, but the music still packs a funky wallop. Some of of my very favorite tracks are the scorching instrumentals “Soul & Sunshine” by Harvey & the Phenomenals, and “Chitlin Strut” by The Backyard Heavies. Another intense instrumental is “The Tornado” delivered by the T.S.U. Tornados. And yes, that’s a university band! I could list other highlights --- and there are plenty on these two discs --- but suffice to say the quality of all these songs is very high.
The CD set comes with a booklet that gives capsule reviews of each track and the artist that recorded the song. There’s only a short paragraph for each song but the information is very informative. A highly recommended collection. (Soul Detective)

The Sisters Love - Give Me Your Love (1967-1973) @320
The first-ever full length collection of work by The Sisters Love – an ultra-hip female soul group who cut some incredibly funky singles, but never issued a full album – finally given their due in this amazing batch of singles from the late 60s and early 70s! The Sisters Love sound is a great blend of funky rhythms, hard soul vocals, and soaring harmonies on the chorus – in a way that's almost a cross between the work of Lyn Collins at People Records with the best sounds of Sweet Inspirations over at Atlantic – but even more righteous overall, thanks to production work by the likes of Willie Hutch, Gloria Jones, Gene Chandler, and Monk Higgins! The set brings together singles recorded for Motown and A&M – all recorded over a period of 6 years, but tremendously unified overall – with a badass soul sound that rivals the legendary album by The Jackson Sisters. Titles include "Give Me Your Love", "My Love Is Yours", "The Bigger You Love", "Blackbird", "Ring Once", "Mr Fix It", "You've Got To Make Your Choice", "You've Got My Mind", "Now Is The Time", "Forget It I Got It", "Ha Ha Ha", "I Know You Love Me", and "Try It You'll Like It". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Based In Los Angeles, the Sisters Love were originally Vermettya Royster (lead vocals), Jeanne Long, Lillie Fort, Gwen Berry and founding member Merry Clayton. Clayton is famous for her session work in the late 60's and 70s and even released some obscure records of her own. She left the group after a label change.
Peaking in the 1970's the group scored regional success with "Mr Fix it" and "Give me your love", a Curtis Mayfield gem. The latter was made popular again in the late 70's by DJ Danny Krivit that was a underground disco favorite. The eight minute jam will have you bouncing off the walls.
This is a essential release for any fan of 70's soul/funk. This group never released any full fledged albums but did some work with Motown/A&M Records. Their soaring vocals and harmonies over funky drums and bass lines would please anybody. Just play the remake of the Beatles "Blackbird" or "Now is the time". Other great cuts include "Im learning to trust my man" and "HA HA HA"......You will be in soul heaven! (Record Runner)
Ahead of their time' is a much used phrase to describe some of the most creative groups and The Sisters Love were most definitely that. In 1980 New York DJ Danny Krivit released an extended eight-minute cut-up of a track called 'Give Me Your Love' by The Sisters Love. Already an underground disco classic (partly on account of its rarity), this release brought it to a new audience of disco and rare groove fans. Twenty years on and Soul Jazz Records are bringing together an amazing collection of Soul/Funk/early Disco cuts from this cult group who only ever released singles (on Motown and A&M), the scarcity of which has made some of them œ100 records! Soul Jazz. 2006.

Down In Black Bottom-Lowdown Barrelhouse Piano @320
A collection of rare, classic recordings from the 1920s and 30s featuring legendary masters of barrelhouse piano accompanying their own vocals with their brilliant playing of blues, rags and stomps.
"A great choice from a musical and historical perspective ." - Victory Review
"A stunning CD...don't buy anything else until you get this." - Juke Blues
"Essential pieces of the puzzle of blues development ." - Blues Review
In addition to their indispensable compilations devoted to the bluesmen and women of the 1920s and 1930s, Yazoo has delivered a number of excellent, topical country blues sets as well. Though not always as essential as the single-artist discs, they are nonetheless valuable on both musical and historical terms. Released simultaneously with the label's bawdy Barrelhouse Mamas collection, Down in Black Bottom is a similar collection of early piano blues, with the focus once again being on small combos. Possibly due to the fact that pianists were so often thrust into the role of accompanist, few of these artists made significant names for themselves on record. There is a handful of exceptions, of course. Little Brother Montgomery was an exceptionally gifted pianist who, before moving to Chicago during the 1940s, absorbed the rich and varied piano traditions that surrounded him in the Jackson, MS, area. Tampa Red remained a popular performer long after his move to the Windy City, where the hokum material he favored went over well with Chicago audiences. Names like Sammy Brown, Sylvester Palmer, and Parish Turner, however, remain more mysterious. Most of the musicians on this compilation who managed to achieve notoriety did so through their piano skills rather than their singing. This was good time music for the most part and, as a result, these signers weren't the most exceptional of blues versifiers either. Oftentimes the lyrics rely on the sort of stock phrases that nearly every bluesman acquired as a matter of course. Though the blues on this disc hardly represent the most emotionally compelling of Yazoo's extensive catalog, the set will certainly appeal to enthusiasts of the style, as well as blues fans in search of a less demanding introduction to the early recordings.

THE VAN DYKES - Tellin' It Like It Is: The Mala Sessions '66
In the late 1960s, at a time when The Four Tops, The Temptations, and The Impressions continued to rule the R&B charts (as they had for several years) at, respectively, Motown, Motown's Gordy subsidiary and ABC-Paramount, into this formidable combination of artist and label jumped one of the most curious distributors ever in the record industry. That was Bell Records, launched in New York City back in 1952 by Arthur Shimkin, and now owned at the time by Larry Uttal, along with its subsidiaries Mala (formed in 1959) and Amy (formed in 1960).
What made Bell stand out from the rest was their practice of record pressing which did not involve the accepted method of vinyl pressing. Instead, their records used the plastic formula "polystyrene" made from a liquid petrochemical and with a decidedly unique aroma, which used the injection-molded technique. Consequently, not only could you tell a Bell product by the smell, but records produced that way, after normal use, literally wore out. Sort of a built-in obsolescence.
The group Bell decided would compete for air- and juke-box play with the big boys was The Van Dykes, a trio from Fort Worth, Texas which, by their style, left no doubt that their main inspiration were Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. They had first formed up in 1964 as a quartet consisting of baritone James Mays, tenor Wenzon Mosley, and co-falsetto leads Eddie Nixon and Randalis Tandy, but by the time they cut their first disc with the tiny local Hue Records in 1965, Nixon had departed. The A-side of Hue 6501 was the Tandy composition, No Man Is An Island b/w I Won't Hold It Against You, and when it began to attract considerable local airplay, Bell jumped in and arranged national distribution on Mala 520.
After No Man Is An Island reached # 24 R&B as well as # 94 on the Billboard Pop Hot 100 in March 1966, Uttal got the trio into Fort Worth's Sound City Recording Studios to record I've Got To Go On Without You which did almost as well on the R&B charts, peaking at # 28 in July b/w What Will I Do (If I Lose You?) on Mala 530, but this time the best it could do on the Hot 100 was a # 109 in the Bubbling Under charts. Later that year, Never Let Me Go topped out at # 25 R&B in November on Mala 539 b/w I've Got To Find A Love, but it was shut out completely on the Hot 100, and early in 1967, You Need Confidence suffered the same Hot 100 failure, but did make it to # 24 R&B in January on Mala 549 b/w You're Shakin' Me Up (on which Mays takes the lead).
In March, their only LP, Tellin' It Like It Is, came out on Bell 6004 containing all the above-mentioned sides along with Tears Of Joy, Hey, Mr. Lonesome, and I'm So Happy. On its heels came the single I'm So Happy b/w A Sunday Kind Of Love (Mala 566), but it failed to chart nationally, as did Tears Of Joy which came out in 1968 on Mala 584 b/w Save My Love For A Rainy Day.
This Sundazed 2000 CD release pulls together all those sides along with the previously-unreleased Doin' The Best I Can and I'm For Real Baby, with excellent digitally-remastered sound by Bob Irwin and Jayme Pieruzzi at Sundazed Studios in Coxsackie, New York. The original vinyl LP notes by Enoch Gregory are augmented by further notes written by Bill Dahl. (The Soul Detective)

THE RAMONETURES
It was a deceptively simple idea: strip down Ramones songs to their beach-pop core and re-develop them as Ventures-style instrumental surf cuts. But anyone familiar with Mel Bergman knows he don’t do nothin’ half-assed – unless it’s on purpose, of course. So, he gathered a few of his fellow Phantom Surfers and enlisted the king of fuzz guitar Davie Allan for a rumbling pipe-blowing ride through the Ramones’ catalog. Allan’s guitar growls like tumbling surf, delivering more than just a novelty cover album, this is a true tribute: played from the heart and delivered with conviction.

THE CLEE-SHAYS
The Clee-Shays were a 60’s instrumental super group assembled by Richard Delvy of The Challengers and The Belairs, and included fellow Challenger Ed Fournier with John Anderson and Rob Edwards from Eddie & The Showmen. At the time, they released records only in Japan, focusing heavily on the instro spy-fi scene with pieces of surf grind, spaghetti western, and hot rod wail in their cache as well. Strange that they never went after the western market, and all of their original releases are scarce finds today. This Sundazed compilation gathers some of their best and rarest, about three-quarters of which are 60’s spy/secret agent show TV theme songs.
