This economic package gathers in fact two classicblaxploitation soundtracks: <b><i>Cornbread, Earl And Me</i></b>, signed by The Blackbyrds and produced by Donald Byrd himself and <b><i>The Dynamite Brothers</i></b>, signed by Charles Earland. The latter one will satisfy the listener looking for the traditionnal blaxploitation OST experience: wah-wah guitars, crazy organs, funky breaks and tracks with cool names like <i>Weedhopper</i>, <i>Razor J.</i>, <i>Snake</i> or <i>Kungfusion</i>. On <b><i>Cornbread, Earl And Me</i></b>, The Blackbyrds take their jazz funk road with a nice break to sample every 10 seconds and for you hip hop head the classic breakbeat of <i>Wilford's Gone</i>, sampled among others by Gangstarr on <i>Say Your Prayers</i> and Compton's Most Wanted on <i>Straight Check N' Em.</i> For you information, The Dynamite Brothers soundtrack has been largely used as well.</div>

I have already written how much the Nascente worldwide funk bargain price compilations serie is brilliant. It explores with originality and good scene the funk scene of country often ignored and always find a way to exhume pure nuggets. Richard Masip digged deep in the EMI North European 60's and 70's scene and succeed to make one of the best volume so far. Who knew that Finland, Denmark, Norway or Sweden had a musical scene as hot as their porn flicks. Among the highlights, you can find Charles Williams, an American singer expatriated in Finland, who signs with <i>Standing In The Way</i> a stellar soul song. Doris sultry voice on the psychedelic <i>You never Come Closer</i> or on the deep soul influenced <i>Don't</i> is able to melt the ice while Ralph Lundsten infectious <i>Horroscope</i> breakbeat will infest your mind and deserves definitely its slot in any decent DJ playing list. </div>

Well, let's see what Red Schwartz says in the original cover notes, faithfully reproduced for this Vampisoul 2003 reissue, about this little latin soul burner we got here: <i>"Jack Costanzo was Peggy Lee's main man bongo and conga drummer for many years, until he decided to attempt a career of his own (...). He worked for a year building a musical book, building an act until he was sure to make his big band impact onto the musical world. He needed (...) a female vocalist with style, with delivery, with looks, and he found one. Miss Gerrie Woo (...) was chosen to be part of the Jack Costanzo Band". </i>The record was signed by Tico, and like everything that has the Tico label, be prepare to sweat and move your ass on this shit. The few covers, <i>Green Onions</i>, <i>Words</i>, <i>Some Kind - A Wonderful</i>, <i>Jive Samba</i>, are excellent and the original material is killing you hardly. with those latin mambo and descarga percussions .</div>

Already published on several blogs, this song, often sampled, is the story of a big rip off. An percussion orchestra of 25 Burundian musicians were recorded in Africa for French ethnic music label, Ocora. A producer named Claude Sevac Ekian, heard the record, probably get his hands on the original masters and recorded in a French studio a new orchestration of the track with the help of a guy named Mike Stephenson, who played piano and guitar over it. It was then released as a 7" by Barclay and sold pretty well but the Burundian drummers never received any cent of it and probably never heard of the recording either. It can be seen as one of the first sample based song or just a plain theft of African culture by Western msuic sharks. Anyway, despite this sad story, Burundi Black is a very good, tribal, hypnotic, trippy and cinematic song.<br />

This volume of La Guêpe is dedicated to library music inspired by Brazilian MPB. Bossa, samba and tropilcalism infuse each track of this wonderful compilation. But dont't expect any covers or pastiche here. If the core artists are French , a few artists are in fact real Brazilans(MPB4, Teca & Ricardo) or are ailing from Spain (Dolores) or Italy ( G&M Di Angelis). Each give his own interpretation of MPB, mixing Brazilan sounds with pop and weird electronica, which is in fact just all what good library music is about. Another wonderful job made by the Pulp Flavor/Dare-Dare/Vadim music guys.<br />

Oh yes this guy and his band could play tight and hard. Born in Oakland, Eugene Blackwell created his band in high school and showed nearly every club available in the Bay Area what raw funk was and what can be done with a guitar in that area. He recorded a handfull of singles but stayed a local celebrities and never made it at a national level. His 7" became collectible among funky heads and rare groove diggers and it became a matter of time before his work get the proper recognition it deserved. Ubiquity gathered all the recordings Eugene Blackwell made on <b><i>We Can't Take Life For Granted</i></b>, with a few radio spots and live clips. Nice work and probably one of the best funk compilation of my collection. Break heads, there is plenty as well for you here.<br />

Jean-Paul Belmondo... Nobody knows him outside French boundaries but the guy used to be French most popular actor, specialized in action movies and comedies that met a huge success throughout the 70's and 80's and were largely played on French TV, especially the sunday evening. Everybody in France aged beyond their 30's grew up with that guy. The movies were not always good, even if Jean-Paul Belmondo has a few masterpieces in his huge filmography (for the details, go to his Wikipedia page: <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Belmondo">http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Belmondo</a> ). <b><i>Flic Ou Voyou</i></b> or <b><i>Le Guignolo</i></b> are definitely not among his best movies. I enjoyed them while a kid but watched them again recently and I must admit that those two action comedies didn't aged well. But the soundtracks stay absolutely relevant. Both were made by Philippe Sarde and are completely different. For <i><b>Flic Ou Voyou</b></i>, Philippe Sarde enroled not less than Chet Baker, Hubert Laws, Ron Carter and Billy Cobham for a jazz soundtrack. The first track, <i>Flic Ou Voyou</i>, is brilliant: it starts like a baroque music track then morphes into jazz. For <i><b>Le Guignolo</b></i>, Philippe Sarde made the choice of orchestrated music inspired by traditionnal French operetta. Both soundtracks were reedited as a double package by Universal in 2000. And it's always a huge pleasure to give away Universal music for free.<br />

Marcel Carné is one of French greatest filmmakers. In 1968, he realised <i><b>Les Jeunes Loups</b></i> mixing French classic literature (the characters are inspired by the writings of Balzac) and Nouvelle Cinema with the burgeoning flower power and sexual liberation movement. Released just before the revolution of may 1968, it was announcing the events to come. The shooting is known to have been a nightmare and Marcel Carné rejected his film when it was over, even refusing to assist to the preview. Sacked by critics, <b><i>Les Jeunes Loups </i></b>were a flop and were even never released as VHS or DVD. In fact, nobody has seen this movie. The soundtrack is much easier to get. It was signed by French library maestro, Jack Arel. He mixed deep soul and British Invasion influences with a cool French pop vibe full of killing hammond organ licks. The vocals are credited to Tuesday Jackson, aka French MOR singer Nicole Croisille.<br />

I discovered Norman Connors work thanks to an article in Waxpoetics. I bougth on vinyl <b><i>Romantic Journey</i></b>, <i><b>You Are My Starship</b></i>,<b><i> This is Your Life</i></b> and decided to collect his entire discography. I've found <b><i>Take It To The Limit</i></b> and <b><i>Mr. C</i></b> on this budget two albums on one CD re-issue. In the sleeve notes, Ralph Tee charaterized those two albums as his personnal Norman Connors favourites. I would share that opinion for <b><i>Take It To The Limit</i></b>, a wonderful disco soul record with only scorchers and no fillers that matches Salsoul or Roy Ayers best releases of the time. I'll be a bit more reserved about <b style="font-style: italic;">Mr. C</b>,<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>that makes the funk speak and is still a winner but less good than the other albums aforementioned.</div>

This excellent compilation gathers 17 French library tracks recorded during the 70'sunder the influence of soul, jazz and funk. Breaks heads will consequently find plenty to sample in that groovy banquet. among Roger Roger, Jacky Giordano, Bernard Estardy, Janko Nilovic or even Philippe Sarde works. The tracklisting is a who's who of French library maestro. There are some curiosities as well, like my personnal favorite, <i>Afro-Disiac</i>, an hypnotic afro track made by Uele Kalabubu & Sa Tribu and that can be found on the LP <i><b>Afroground</b></i>, a pretty rare but good piece of wax I'll probably post one day. Pulp Flavor Recordings was created by the same guys that were later behind the excellent labels Dare -Dare and Vadim Music that closed last spring. A pretty damn shame if you ask me. So, one of your only last chance to get your dusty hands on their music if you don't want to dig is on this blog.</div>

With their name and the psyche cover of their sole album, The Smoke have everything to attract the paraphanelia occasional user. Hailing from Yorkshire, they started as a band in 1965 goign by the name of The Shots. After a first 7" released on Columbia failed, they considered going a psychedelic road, starting by changing their moniker. Now you had to call them The Smoke. Their next 7", My Friend Jack b/w We Can Take It got banned on British waves for LSL references but charted quite well throughout Western Europe, especially in Germany where was released ... It's Smoke Time LP. The Smoke then got managed by Chris Blackwell, released tracks under a new name, Chords and never made it. In 1974, they called it quit, taking regular jobs as session musicians. That's more or less the complete story of The Smoke. So what's about their music? Was it any good? The answer is a definitive yes: their freaky psyche beat sound is based on strong songwriting habilities and tight musicianship that make them ahead of the average psyche pack of the time. My Frienf Jack is catchy enough to be whistled under the shower and was even given a cheesy disco treatment by Boney M in 1980. I have posted the 1993 Repertoire repress that comes with not less than 14 bonus tracks and among them the sides released as The Shots and Five Chords.</div>

Now Again Records already reedited this album in 2006 and released it again a few weeks ago with a few bonus tracks. I have posted today the 2006 reedition. If you want te 2012 reedition, well, just buy it. Rhythm Machine had made a reputation as a solid touring band in their native Indiana, born on the ashes of The Highlighters (<i>The Funky 16 Corners</i> anyone ?). They recorded their sole album, <b><i>Rhythm Machine</i></b>, in 1976, delivering the kind of album you wouldn't expect from a touring band. Instead of going only the energetic tight hard funk way they're good at, they plaid a smooth spacey soul and funk as well that made me think of Roy Ayers or Earth Wind & Fire works of the same time. It's clear those guys could handle their instruments but their were very inspired as well. A brilliant album.</div>

The guys of The All Music Guide qualified Moby Grape as <i>"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22.5px;">one of the finest (perhaps </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22.5px;">the</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><i> finest) album to come out of the San Francisco psychedelic scene, brimming with great songs and fresh ideas while blessedly avoiding the pitfalls that pockmarked the work of their contemporaries." </i>With such a critic, I was consequently pretty happy to find this album in the sales bin of a French famous cultural goods retailing chain. I have always had a mixed feeling with West Coast albums from the Summer of Love era. The psychedelic scene especially often disappointed me. Much albums just don't live up to their reputation, once you pass their most obvious hits: for example, would you have believed that listening to a Jefferson Airplane complete album was such a boring experience? So what's about the Moby Grape first album? If their bluesy numbers, based on catch guitar riffs, sounds very 60's and will brings tears in the eyes of grey haired boomers (<i>Hey Grandma</i>, <i>Mr. Blues</i>, <i>Fall On You</i>), the band could teach a trick or two on harmony and melodies to Fleet Foxes and they never let senseless experimentation overcome their tightly written songs and their happy energy. A masterpiece? I don't know. A pretty good album? Yes indeed.</span></div>

I'm just unable to say anything bad about my favorite Brazilian artist. This guy churned out masterpiece after masterpiece during nearly 20 years. On <i><b>Bem-Vinda Amizade</b></i>, Jorge Ben sticks to his usual recipe with talent: catchy samba funk with a light electronic twist. Every single song is a scorcher and can could make dance the next Vatican council. Jorge Ben seemed to have fun to try to find the longest song titles possible, from <i>O Diam Em Que O Sol Declarou O Seu Amor Pela Terra</i> to <i>Era Una Vez Um Aposentado Marinheiro</i> passing by <i>Ela Mora Em Matogrosso Fronteira Com O Paraguai</i>, they are pretty hard to remember if you are not lusophone. This LP has already been posted several times in a few other blogs but if you have miss it, here it is.</div>

To start that new season of first choice musical nuggets from my record collection, there's is nothing better than this nice Janko Nilovic library LP, recorded for Montparnasse 2000 in 1971. If you speak French and want to learn more about Janko Nilovic, I advise you to read this interview realised in 2004 for the website Scopia: <a href="http://scopia.perso.neuf.fr/portrait_nilovic.html">http://scopia.perso.neuf.fr/portrait_nilovic.html</a> That's where I learned that the vocals on this album were made by Janko himself and Graziella Nadrigal. The overall result, between West Coast pop, jazz and bossa is absolutely nice. I haven't posted the original LP but the Vadim Music 2006 CD reedition.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Poet, Fool Or Bum</i></b> and <b><i>Back On The Street Again</i></b> are certainly not Lee Hazlewood most revered albums. <b><i>Poet, Fool Or Bum </i></b>was greeted by a one word review by the NME ("bum") while <b><i>Back On The Street Again</i></b>, recorded in FM hard rock band Scorpions studios in Germany for radio programmer Bobby Bobcine, was just ignored. The album only came out in Sweden, Holland and Germany. <b><i>Poet, Fool or Bum</i></b> deserves clearly to be rehabilitated to its real value and is a good Lee Hazlewood record. Eveything we come to like about him is present here. His deep voice from out of grave, his lush arrangements between pop and country. The only things missing are duos with girls. You can find duos with girls on <b><i>Back On the Street Again</i></b> but the production work sounds just too cheesy most of the times. It was smelling the end for the great Lee Hazlewood. He never really came back but never gave up nor sold out.</div>

<i>"This album contains a selection of the strongest tracks released by Super diamono between 1980 and 1984. During this period, two incredible singers (...) shared centered stage - Omar Pene and Ismaël Lô. Behind them (...) the band made full use of three years' musical research carried out in the four corners of Senegal."</i> Super Diamono was not an hotel or club dance band. They considered themselves as rebel and were signing for the peasants and the poors against corruption and and President Senghor authoritarian regime. Their mix of ethnic musics, jazz, funk and reggae with psyche flavor is purely unique, original and outstanding. </div>

Yes the music sounds like what the cover looks like: erotic gallic pop, in the great Serge Gaisnbourg tradition. Philippe Nicaud was a second rank French actor but was pening texts full of sex and filth when it was about signing. In his case, it's more talkover comedy than actual signing in fact. The symphonic and pop orchestration, influenced by bossa nova and easy listening, was due to Gérard Gustin, a guy you can find behind a lot of French records of the time. Listening to this record is like watching a 70's porn: it's fun, fresh, liberating and makes you believe that something is missing today when it comes about the graphic representation of sexual intercourses between consenting adults. <b><i>Erotico... Nicaud</i></b> had the reputation to be a hard to find must-have UFO among record collectors. Vadim Music reedited it in 2009 and it was a brilliant idea. Enjoy, you perverts... It's DSK favorite record, I heard.<br />

Jorge Ben is my favorite Brazilian singer and musician. His mix of samba, pop, soul and, here, disco funk is unique and belongs only to himself. His songs are so good and catchy you can't help but hum them all day long. Like a Brazilian Stevie Wonder, he churned out masterpieces after masterpieces in the 70's and at the beginning of the 80's, releasing at least one album a year. The most surprising is that the guy was nerver properly distributed in Europe and his discography was erratically released. The names of the albums were changed, the covers as well and it is quite difficult to find his records, even in CD. I don't know if <i><b>Alô Alô, Como Vai ?</b></i> was even released somewhere in vinyl. I finally found it thanks to the CD reedition made by a Spanish bargain label, Discmedi. <b><i>Alô Alô, Como Vai ?</i></b> is maybe not Jorge Ben most famous and laudated LP but there are plenty of nice breaks and floor fillers in it. It's definitely worth a listen.</div>

LHI stands for Lee Hazlewood Industries. The label was created by the singer in 1967 to support his own releases and a few others. IN 1971, the adventure was over. This compilation focuses on the sides released by Lee during this three years ventures as singles or on the albums <i><b>The Bed</b></i>, <b><i>Cowboy In Sweden</i></b>, <b><i>Requiem For An Almost Lady</i></b> and <b><i>The Cowboy & The Lady</i></b>. You can find as well a previously unreleased song, <i>I Just Learn To Run</i>. For those who still doubted, those 17 magnificent songs, between luxuriant country and magnificately crafted and orchestrated pop, prove that Lee Hazlewood was one of the brightest composer and musician of the era. The record cover is brilliant and sums up perfectly what's inside. One of the best new record I bought this year.<br />

The Star Band was created by Ibra Kassé in the 60's as an house band for his club, the Miami, set in Dakar, the capital of the then newly independent Senegal. The orchestra was playing latin music (cha-chas, pachangas, merengués or rumba) for the youth of Dakar elite. The Star Band will nurture Senegalese greatest musicians (Pape Seck, Balla Sidibé, Youssou N'Dour, Pape Fall, Laba Sosseh, etc.) before they leave to create their own orchestra. That in the star band that Pape Seck will mix latin music with sabar drums and m'balax rythms, signing in Wolof as well as in Spanish, giving birth to Afro-feeling and M'balax.This compilation features tracks recorded between 1975 and 1979 just before The Star Band De Dakar definitely disbands. I don't know if their best titles are featured here, as I am not a specialist of African music, but this record is refreshing, excellent and a good way to discover this great band.</div>

<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Les Granges Brûlées </i></b>is a 1973 movie by Jean Chapot with some of the best French actors of the era, Alain Delon and Simone Signoret. It is the story of a judge (Alain Delon) who is investigating the murder of a young girl in the French country. Her body is discovered near a farm run by a strong woman, Simone Signoret and quickly the judge suspects a member of the family being the murderer. Jean Chapot and Alain Delon didn't get well together and quickly the movie was finished by the star himself without Jean Chapot who had left the set. The music is the first record released by French king of keyboards, Jean-Michel Jarre. Jean-Michel Jarre is the son of French soundtrack composer Maurice Jarre so it must have been a real challenge for him to dare releasing a soundtrack. Jean-Michel Jarre only used keyboards for the soundtrack, making proto electronica. Jean-Michel Jarre then mixed his electronic song with pop FM and became a billionaire. But this another story and <b><i>Les Granges Brûlées</i></b> is still a landmark in electronic music history.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
VP Records just had the excellent idea of reissuing Keith Hudson masterpiece, <b><i>Rasta Communication</i></b>, in a deluxe edition full of excellent bonuses: you can find the original album , 12" mixes of <i>Nah Skin Up</i>, <i>Felt We Felt The Strain</i>, <i>Bloody Eyes</i>, the 7" version of <i>Rasta Country</i> and an extra CD with a dub version of the album. <b><i>Rasta Communication</i></b> was mixed by King Tubby so there are pretty good chances that the dub master himself was invested in the dub version of the album. With <b><i>Rasta Communication</i></b>, Keith Hudson was targeting Bob Marley's sales figures. He never achieved them but at least realized a perfect roots joint and and a true reggae heads favorite.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Forget Memphis, Muscle Shoals or Detroit: some of the best soul music recorded in the 60's was coming from New Orleans and was essentially due to the genius of one man: Allen Toussaint. When he went out of the military in 1965, he launched several record labels with the help of Marshall Sehorn, Sansu, Dessu and Tou-Sea while still recording for other labels like New York Amy Records. Then at the peak of his inspiration, he penned scorchers and hits for the likes of Aaron Neville (<i>Hercules and its massive bassline</i>), Lee Dorsey (<i>Get Out Of My Life, Woman</i> and its break sampled a thousand times) and less well known acts like Benny Spellman, The Rubaiyats (a band composed of himself and Willie Harper) or Willie West. Allen Toussaint is featured 3 times as well on this compilation with two excellent instrumentals, the Burt Bacarach sound alike <i>Hands Christianderson</i> and <i>Gotta Travel On</i> and with his own a rendition of the biggest hits he made for Lee Dorsey, <i>Working In The Coal Mine</i>. The trouble with The Lost Sessions is that any other music will sound lame once you listened to it. It's probably an after effect effect of the voodoo they put in their music.</div>
