Dorothy Moore - Once More With Feeling

 
Style: Soul Stepping in Miami

Format: LP
Label: Malaco

Year: 1978

Condition: NM/NM still ins shrink

 

The colours of the cover are a bit dull so this one is easy to be overlooked. I my self have done this for years. When I finally listened to Girl Overboard for the first time I pinched myself. If you are looking for Miami Funk, this one is not for you. But if your heart opens to incredibly sweet steppers with the extra dose of heartbreak this album is HEAVEN!

The inventor of orchestral crime funk strikes again. Theme From Ironside, Hicky Burr and a wonderful jazzy version of Marvin Gaye's What's Going on (with heavenly flute by Hubert Laws) are the outstanding tunes here. This copy plays with light background crackle here and there. Nothing for NM freaks but great to enjoy and play out. (Cleaned CD-r included)

Booker T & The MGs - Melting Pot

 
Style: Instrumental Funk

Format: LP
Label: Stax (Ger)

Year: 1971

Condition: NM/VG+

 

By far my favourite Booker T album. I hold Hip Hug Her, Doin Our Thing and Universal Language very high but man I'm so damn hooked on the Melting Pot groove (a Larry Levan classic btw). And then there's L.A. Jazz Song. WTF - dominated by Duck Dunn and Al Jackson - the forefathers of Sly and Robbie. Goosebumps galore! An old Hip Hop head like me is taken straight back to 1990 when Edutainment was my daily bread

Okay the artwork is shit but didn't your parents tell you that it's the inside that counts? Let me tell you too! It's a compilation of her early 70s work and it's a deep as it gets. They didn't call her the high priestes of soul for nothing. I'm selling a lot of lovely music, but this is relevant!
