Amazing copy of Gianni Bella's nicest record. For me side A is pure heaven from the first note to the last. Soulful killers called Sirene, Pane Caldo and L'equilibrista (the two latter he wrote for his sister Marcella) and side B holds two versions of the funky Io Canto E Tu... of course you can get a italian grade VG+ copy delivered in a pizza box for some € less, but is that what you want?

Style: Phili Boogie

Format: LP
Label: Telefunken

Year: 1976

Condition: NM/VG

Please was a band that consisted of bunch of Filipinos located in West Germany during the 1970s that released two albums on German Telefunken label before vanishing into obscurity. The story does not tell how and why they were in Germany, but at least they did pretty good job when it comes to funky music.

Although the main focus of the album seems to be on sweet soulful tunes, there’s some discoid funk business too. There’s midtempo funky soul such as “I’m gonna take care of business” and “Good stuff”, uptempo disco’ish soul like “Flaming lady” and then there’s also uptempo disco funk tracks like “Please yourself” and “Ego trippin’, the latter having a nice break in the beginning and in the end.

Let's not talk about all the money the original record would sum up to (2200€).

How many times have I thought to myself that I'm gonna buy the 7" when I have more money than I need? Even if the 12" version on this mighty comp is a lot more useful ... Followed by sweetest Funk from Erasmus Hall. Just Me And You and cozy 96 heartbeats per minute. Next on my plate is Tommy Stewart's Bump & Hustle Music. This JAM is probably among the All Time Rare Groove Top 10. Tiny warp - runs perfect.

The most popular (!) album by one of the fathers of musique concrète. Jerky electronics meet eclectic rhytms made for Ballet dancing. I just tried dancing to it as a morning exercise and I can tell you it was big fun! (Neighbours forgive me ;) Vinyl shows light marks but plays GREAT , the OG 1967 heavy vinyl is almost indestructible.

Great Kraut Funk two-sider recorded a year after their First Message album. The Governor is a strong Funk number with hard hitting horns and Just Another Song To Sing is a  mellow Northern Soul tune with some lovely vocals by Antonia Maass. This one reminds me of the beautiful Skylight album from Australia ...
