 Gonorstein
The Soul Crate
Off The Hook | 2006
Somewhere between the birth of gold chains and ProTools, there was a time when soul, funk and RnB knew its Garry Glitter years. Prince and Michael Jackson brought it to the hit parades and suddenly these black genres became pop. Music passionates like to overlook these era and pledge allegiance to the seventies and early, early eighties. And we hav... [ READ

 Weldon Irvine
The Sisters
Saucerman | 1979
The mysterious Irvine record that was finally re-issued only a few years ago and goddamned it’s a favourite. Don’t get me wrong, Weldon Irvine made nothing but class-act music. Pick any album of him, listen to it and be amazed. 'The Sisters' ain’t nuthin but that good ol funk music in the style of two of my favourite funksters Don Blackman (feature... [ READ

 Stringtronics
Mindbender
Peer International | 1972
If this was not re-issued in 2004, then you’d have to pay a serious amount of money to get this one. One of the most sought after UK Library records and enjoying a celebrated cult status, Stringtronic’s 'Mindbender' is a true enlightenment and floats between psychedelic baroque, dusty 70s soundtracks and experimental cool jazz.
The main so... [ READ

 Tom Scott
The Honeysuckle Breeze
Impulse | 1968
Although mainly known for his TV music ('Starsky & Hutch'), Scott is famous among diggers for his 'Today', of which the incredible sax loop starting at 1:38 was sampled by Pete Rock on 'They Reminisce Over You'.
The cover of 'Honeysuckle Breeze' betrays the music on this record. Dressed with shirt and sandals, sitting in grass and flowers ... [ READ

 The Mary Jane Girls
The Mary Jane Girls
Motown | 1983
How much more eighties can you go than with the Mary Jane Girls? One of my most favourite girl bands of all time! Sot off Bananarama, this is Joanne 'Jojo' McDuffie, Yvette Marine, Candice Ghant, Kim Wuletich and Ann Bailey.
'All Night Long' is thé hit single of the record and has gained a reputation amongst diggers ever since hip-hop took... [ READ

 Stelvio Cipriani
Femina Ridens
Cam | 1969
While Italian hip-hop is at a disappointing low level, the Boot has always been a forerunner in bringing forth phenomenal soundtrack composers. Thriller, horror and what not-composer Stelvio Cipriani is definitely one of the most versatile, creative and dramatic composers of all. This Roman musician is mostly known for turnin camp movies into excit... [ READ

 George Benson
White Rabbit
Columbia | 1971
Who can ever forget 'Give Me The Night'? An enormous hit in the seventies and with a legendary video clip to it. George Benson’s number one single attacked the air waves and filled dance floors across the world. Benson has never been afraid of making commercial music alongside the Latin-inspired jazz he’s known for in the wee days of his career. ... [ READ
