WBSLP012 VARIOUS'HEAVY FUNKY
BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL'
Wah Wah Records has the pleasure to introduce you to what it is with
no boubt the best soul and funk compilation ever issued in Spain in the
1970’s. HEAVY, FUNKY, SOULFUL! Was originally issued by Discophon in 1972
featuring recordings licensed from small sub labels of Philadelphia’s seminal
soul label "pre-TSOP" Jamie Records. Under the "Young Black America’s music"
caption we find the works of talented producers such as Paul Kyser or Van
McCoy, originally issued on labels such as Phi-La Of Soul, Silver Dollar
or Top & Bottom. The tunes vary from minor commercial hits like the People’s
Choice funk classic "I Likes To Do It" –a combo which is supposed to be Al
Green’s first band- to obscure deep funk rarities like "Super Funkt Pts. I
& II", by Thunder, Lightning and Rain, originally issued on the highly
collectable Saadia label, plus big funky R&B tracks such as Benny Gordon’s
"Give A Damn" or one of DJ Shadow’s "Brainfreeze" sampled tunes as is Un-Sound
Express Ltd.’s "Ain’t It Good Enough For You." As extra goodies, the Wah Wah
reissue includes two bonus tracks also released in Spain at the time: the
superb killer mod dancer "The Train" by Joe Jeffrey and an always coveted
northern soul floorshaker reissued here for the first time ever: Jerry Tiffe’s
"Hey Watcha Doin’," originally recorded for the New York label Scepter Records,
famous among others for most of the Shirelles output and other girl groups.
A truly solid compilation that will please both soul afficionados and funk
dancers, and I assure you it won’t be easy to grab an original copy so better
get this reissue before it’s too late!

WBSLP005 PRINCE BUSTER 'On Tour'
Reissue of the official 60ts live set from Prince Buster (also known
as King of Ska). During the mid sixties Cecil Campbell recorded lots of
ska/rocksteady hits, later popularized by 2 Tone bands in the late eighties
(becoming the beginning of the ska revival era). Hits like "Madness" (guess
who took their name from here?), "Al Capone" or "Cincinatti Kid" mixed
with the soulful rocksteady beat which evolved into worldwide popular reggae
style. A masterpiece from the jamaican Otis Reading.

WBSLP008 ASTRUD GILBERTO 'With Turrentine'
Astrud & Stanley's only LP for CTI, recorded in 1971, is now
available again in a splendid new gatefold cover. This should already
be a classic, as everything touched by the hand of Eumir Deodato deserves.
The interesting thing here is that aside from the fantastic performances
of "Ponteio", "Vera Cruz" (a superb rendition by Stanley Turrentine!),
"Brazilian Tapestry" or "Traveling light", we are reissuing the Spanish
version of the album which features the two spanish sung covers of "Love
story" and "For all we know". As a bonus, sides a & b of the superb Spanish
single from 1972 "Acercándome a ti" and "En tu piel" , both written
by Ennio Morricone and produced by the best producer from this country Manolo
Díaz, are included in the package. "Acercándome a ti" is probably
one of the very best songs Astrud Gilberto has sung, a very nice easy-with-strings
tune backed by a you-must-hear-it-to-believe-it fuzz guitar sound from outer
space. Groovy!
ALSO AVAILABLE ON CD.
