Soul Patrol Records present a reissue of I Like Woman. This is an album comprised of two super-rare Afro-beat disco/funk tracks from Lagos by the band Afro Super-Feelings, led the by artist/musician Segun Okeji. Segun Okeji was the tenor sax player in Fela Kuti's Koola Lobitos band in Nigeria in the late 1960s before changing their name to Africa 70, and this record, originally released in the late 1970s, uses that first-hand experience and influence to maximum effect with a pair of devastating sidelong saxophone-led jams. Up-tempo, chugging drums and a crack horn section, bass, guitar, organ, and backing vocals coordinate to achieve the hypnotic call/refrain/chant crescendo that was Fela's hallmark in his peak years. Players include Tunde Daudu on drums (The Benders), E. Ngomalloh on organ (Fela Kuti), Tutu Shoronmu on guitar (Fela Kuti), and others that played on releases by the C.S. Crew, Sonny Okosun, Orlando Julius, and Tony Allen. Edition of 500.

Remastered limited-edition reissue of this 1971 Brazilian samba/jazz rarity, for fans of Cartola, Bezerra da Silva, Caetano Veloso, João Donato. Jorginho Gomes Pessanha (1931-1981) released two solo albums in the 1970s. Born and raised in the Parada de Lucas neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Pessanha was the son of the founder of the United Samba School Chapel. Pessanha ultimately joined the hugely influential Imperio Serrano school of composers under the tutelage of Imperio president Moacyr Rodrigues, who was part of Brazil's delegation to the First World Festival of Black Arts in Senegal in 1966. This is a hard-to-find piece of first-tier Samba, recorded in 1970, which will appeal to fans of Brazilian funk and jazz. Easily the rarest and best work by one of Imperio Serrano's major figures.

Since 1993, Soul Patrol have established themselves as an indisputable reference when it comes to funky soul music. Soul Patrol made its name with compilations of obscure tracks originally released on 7", paying tribute to some artists who couldn't make the living they deserved with their music. Here, Soul Patrol strikes stronger than strong with Groovallegiance. Like its previous compilations, there are some gems to discover, some surprises, and some ear-openers, such as Spitting Image's "JB's Latin" or the ultra-efficient "Foxy" by Sam Jacobs, as well as "And I Love You" by The Darling Dears & Funky Heavy Prod.... Music from a time when soul music reflected political violence and misery, with dignity and freedom of the utmost importance. This record is a true gem, for the most curious listeners.
