Artist:	PURDIE, BERNARD
Title:	Soul Drums
Label:	DATE
Format:	LP
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	P 743337HLP

Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. "Not so much an album as it is a master class in the art of funk percussion, Soul Drums is the quintessential Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie LP, an unstoppable rhythm machine made all the more memorable by its fiercely idiosyncratic production. Paired with pianist/arranger Richard Tee, guitarists Eric Gale and Billy Butler, bassist Bob Bushnell and tenorist Seldon Powell, Purdie creates a suite of deep funk grooves notable for the sheer insistence of their energy as well as the remarkable imagination and skill of their beats, all topped off with echo chamber-like production that underscores the music's visceral punch. It is virtually impossible to listen to Soul Drums without nodding your head and tapping your foot -- physical response, not thoughts or words, are its most sincere praise." -- All Music Guide

Title:	Lialeh
Label:	LIGHT IN THE ATTIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	LITA 003CD

"Finally back in print and much more deluxe than the first go around back when we first started in late 2002! Light In The Attic proudly presents a new deluxe CD pressing to the Lialeh soundtrack, the first major black porn movie and the final word in soulful shagging music. Bryan Records released this Shaft-era classic in 1974, and since then it's been harder to find than a honky in Harlem. Legendary drummer Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie composed, produced and performed Lialeh's score, while between projects with Curtis Mayfield, Aretha, Gabor Szabo, The Last Poets, The Rolling Stones, James Brown... Music fans have long looked to Lialeh for seven original Purdie tracks, his first as writer/composer, untempered by the A&R's who guided his records for Flying Dutchman, Date, Prestige and Mega." Deluxe digipack CD with 16-page booklet.
