Gi me little love

Hello you all,

This one is such a killer I cannot resist to post it quickly here to spread the word!
Geoffrey Chung (I suspect as the label states J. Chung...) and Judy Mowatt production on Judy's own label. This has an obvious link to twelve tribes as George Beaufort other releases came on the Orthodox label and Judy Mowatt was member of the 12T if I remember well.
I do not have a precise date of issue, sounds like very early eighties.
The tune features a massive rolling bass line that does not obviouly match the lovers lyrics but makes it pretty catchy. The song, as the title reveals, is lovers orientated and goes like this (please correct me if I'm wrong):

Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because i'm so willing
Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because you're so thrilling

You know a man need love for sure
So come on darling open your heart door
Let true love enter there in
And like two (little) dove we both will sing

Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because i'm so willing
Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because you're so thrilling

In these times when frustration abound
Man sees his hope going to the ground
He needs inspiration that only love can bring
The breast of joy, the peace what a feeling

Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because i'm so willing
Gi me likkle love let me cheer up my spirit
Gi me likkle love because you're so thrilling

{bridge} Any time in the morning, get in the evening, even the night
all you gotta do oh me lady, oh me joy, oh yeah oh yeah

And here comes a little Eek a mouse inspired "bidibidibang" and beautiful women harmonies, Bim, it killed you!
Dub is nice also with some nice organ kicking in and some dub echo, plus some nice guitar solo in the middle, beautiful stuff indeed.
You'll find both sides by cutting/pasting the link below the labels in your browser, happy you!
Give me little love people and let me have some comments, more to follow soon.
Peace to one and all, let harmony flow like rain!

Some latin scorcher LP, boogaloo baby!

Hello people,

As promised here comes a quick update.
Winter is coming to the northern hemisphere so I'm letting go a bit of the Rhum and welcome single malt scotch whisky again.
I've poured myself a nice dram of 12 years old single cask Bruichladich, bottled at cask strenght and, to match the fire of that nectar (59.8%vol!), here comes a nice and rare "wanted" LP from the Boogaloo era in Nueva York.
I wont go through extensive remarks about the tunes or the artist (I kinda like the introduction you'll find on back cover, hoping you can read it.
Enough to saythat this LP is almost known for the stomper boogaloo piece (I'll be a)Happy man which is a dancefloor filler for sure.
My preference goes to the more salsa driven Rumba con guaguanco on B-side, which has a bluesy feeling I like (with the call and response sung parts).
The Pussycat tune is...well, it's a pussycat tune, ah, ah! Plenty double meaning lyrics that keeps it from plain slackness. Humour below the waist!

Hope you'll dig this, follow the bleu link below the labels to DL the whole LP.

Peace to earth and more vibes to come soon,
Ben

Back in function!

Hello people,

I experienced a laptop failure so have been unable to post here for a while.
It seems that things are all right now, even if I had to change the softwares used to digitalize my records. For that reason, I do not know how to cut the tunes and so you may find some crakling empy noise before and after the music, sorry for that...

So today features are two of the latest records to land in the boxes, 7 inches that you don't see every day (my FB friends had a glimpse at those two though).

First is a digi tune from the 90's I suppose. Not something I use to listen to ordinary but I got stuck to the riddim and the energy of the song.
According to discogs (https://www.discogs.com/artist/1472317-Michael-Black-4), there are quite a few outputs from that singer from the late 70's untill nowadays, but none had crossed my radar untill this one.
I kinda like the straight forward lyrics "Babylon a burn, wicked man a burn!"
Here you will find both sides of that 7" with the energetic version, please play it with bass and volume turned up!

Second tune featured tonight is the total opposite mood, prototype of meditative vibes!

The label is a beauty and had been the home of all the outputs of that singer it seems : Breathren of art ( https://www.discogs.com/artist/3014578-Nedley-Seymour).

The tune is made of kinda nyabinghy drumming, organ, some bass and elusive guitar.

Topped by Nedley seymour vocals, chanting Babylon down : 

" Say the sun shines the day I say

While the moon shines at night

And the rain gather itself on the hills

That's where my (natures?) are

And I see everything that is going on

I see Babylon you must go down

I say no matter what they may try hard

'Say Babylon you must go down

As deep as the bottomless pit may be

I say Babylon you must go down

For you trouble Jah Jah children..."

B-side is featured here but it's a more common track. It seems that a version exists on some blank issues of the tune and even as B-side on some rare copies...

OK, this will be all for tonight but make sure to check again soon as I have plenty tunes to post to make things right after that long absence!

Peace to one and all,
