Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
KS 1110LP
Exact repro, originally released in 1971. This is basically really a Grodeck Whipperjenny album with James Brown grunting -- contractual obligations sometimes churn out the funniest things. "This is the funky... the ever surprising... the never the same James Brown music. It's instrumental all the way. It will surprise some of his fans... but will be a delight to all." -- Hal Neely

Exact repro reissue of James Brown's 1969 record and one of his finest. Featuring Alfred Ellis as the musical director, arrarnger and composer. ""James Brown developed and wrote the 'Popcorn' first as an instrumental to fit a dance he dreamed up. He started doing it on stage.. the kids started copying it in the aisles. A man of tremendous 'insight' into what is new and what his fans want, James rushed the band into the studio and out popped 'Popcorn.'"

LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
KSD 1063LP

Title:
Mutantes
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
LPNG 44.026HLP
Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Originally released in 1969, the explosive second album from Brazil's essential tropicalia band. "The most blatantly psychedelic of these three albums with warped references to traditional Latin American music. More of a heavy rock sound is present here than on the debut, with plenty of scuzzy psychedelic guitar work, and a Moby Grape vs. 13th Floor Elevators mood. Blended as per Mutantes usual with an assortment of odd-sounding electronics, and samba dance rhythms."

Title:
Cold Sweat
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 1020LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1967. The groove on the title track is one of the most quintessential and innovative songs in James Brown's catalog. It relies on delaying the second backbeat to the "and" of beat four, and putting emphasis all the percussive emphasis "on the one" -- a feel that originated here but has since saturated funk styles. "Cold Sweat" also features a drum solo by Clyde Stubblefield and saxophone solo by Maceo Parker.

LP
Price:
$16.50
Catalog #:
PD 2383132HLP
Gatefold 180 gram reissue of Pink Fairies' second album, originally released in 1972. "
Sweeties
is a mystifying jumble of tracks as exuberant as they are shambolic, though resonating for most of the time with a simple clarity of feeling and passion. ...for all its inconsistencies,
Sweeties
just might be a more punk statement than one may have initially guessed... And at top volume it's damn near undeniable." -- The Seth Man
Artist:
BROWN, JAMES
Title:
Get On The Good Foot
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
2LP
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
PD 3004LP
Gatefold exact repro reissue of the Godfather of Soul's 1972 album. The significance of the title track goes well beyond its status as one of the most unparalleled gems in the singer's catalog; it's also a key track in the history of breakdancing and, for a time, was almost exclusively used to settle street gang disputes by way of dance-offs. This record saved lives, kept kids out of jail and to this day it still does a body good. Also includes "The Whole World Needs Liberation," "Cold Sweat," "I Got A Bag My Own," "Funky Side Of Town," "Please, Please," "Ain't It A Groove," and the astonishing spoken word wisdom of "Recitation By Hank Ballard," in which the lead vocalist of the Midnighters warns against the perils of fame. A record more epic than the
Bible
by a singer mightier than God.

There It Is
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 5028LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1972. Do you need to listen to "King Heroin" again? What about "Public Enemy"? Because this record's got those songs and, although the front cover color-scheme looks like it walked out of your aunt's closet, the back cover illustration looks like a scene right outta
Last Exit To Brooklyn
. Fucked.

Title:
Kings of Oblivion
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 5537LP
Grey area exact repro of the third Pink Fairies LP, originally released on Polydor UK in 1973. Features the three piece line up of Larry Wallis (just pre-Motörhead), Duncan Sanderson and Russell Hunter. Classic proto-metal and punk LP, one of the last gasps of the UK '70s rock underground. "An album of soaring Marshall Superfuzz anthems and Ladbroke Grooves, this was their last album while they were still (for a short time, anyway) a cohesive unit. The guitarist was none other than Larry Wallis, who had moved onto later-period Blodwyn Pig and then UFO before Farren's suggestion. Lazza Wallis -- a true Pink Fairy if there ever was one! He brought not only his cranked Stratocaster riffing and a good sense of structured songwriting to hang his flowing reckless guitar style upon, but a gleeful sense of humor and overall wiseacre rock and roll sensibility...an album most people weren't expecting from The Pink Fairies at this point in time -- a strong, vibrant testimony to their no-bullshit rock and roll. And live it was even shatteringly LOUDER than before, which is damn near incomprehensible and frightening to even think about." --The Seth Man

AYERS, ROY
Title:
Virgo Red
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 6016LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1973. Amazing cover art from Push Pin Graphic designer Haruo Miyauchi. "Despite contributions from an abundance of soul-jazz greats including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Owens, and Garnett Brown,
Virgo Red
is the most stripped-down and nuanced of Roy Ayers's
Ubiquity
LPs. Its sinuous funk grooves are first and foremost a showcase for the intuitive interplay of Ayers and electric keyboardist Harry Whitaker, whose Fender Rhodes fill-ins orbit Ayers's vibes solos like a planet circling the sun. The material is a crazy quilt of righteously soulful originals and deeply funky covers spanning Leroy Hutson's soul classic 'Giving Love' to Stories' soft-pop smash 'Brother Louie' to absolute treacle like The Poseidon Adventure's 'The Morning After' -- by all rights it shouldn't work, but as the astrological overtones winding through
Virgo Red
attest, sometimes the stars align."
Artist:
BROWN, JAMES

POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 6046LP
Exact repro of this 1975 stone-etched classic from Ayers.
A Tear To A Smile
pre-dates Ayers' grip-on-sight '80s boogie funk work (
Lots Of Love
, Eighties Ladies), but the man's nuanced approach touches the solar system in a way that is never anything but his own. Includes the track "Miles (Love's Silent Dawn," sampled by Scarub (Living Legends).
Artist:
AYERS UBIQUITY, ROY
Title:
Everybody Loves The Sunshine
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
PD 6070LP
Exact repro of this 1976 album from one of the great jazz-funk heroes of the 20th century. Ayers is mellowing out at this point -- and that's a good thing. The title track is a revered classic of mid-'70s optimism.

Hell
Label:
POLYDOR
Format:
2LP
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
PD 9001LP
Gatefold exact repro reissue, originally released in 1974. "The album was the pinnacle of his work as the Minister of the Super New New Heavy Funk. From the tough and nimble Latin rhythms of 'Coldblooded,' and 'Sayin' It and Doin' It' to the title track, all are prime pre-disco Brown. 'My Thang' is probably as hard and unrelenting as he got without spontaneously combusting." -- All Music Guide
