"LUV
N' HAIGHT LIMITED EDITION 12""
NOTE:
In our uncontrollable excitement in preparing this release, we accidentally
listed the tracks in the wrong order on the album! The correct order
is listed here, with sound clips, so you'll be able to keep the
tunes straight. Our aforementioned uncontrollable excitement in
preparing this release also resulted in another "accident"
of sorts; but due to the incontinental details, we won't go into
that here... Suffice it to say that we apologize for both accidents
and have taken steps to insure that neither occurs again. As always,
we Depends on your continued support and understanding.
The demand for rare grooves and quality vinyl re-issues will not
die. The re-release of The Sons and Daughters of Lite album earlier
this year was super-successful, so much so that the original band
are now back together playing gigs on the West Coast! So here is
a special edition 12” release with 3 super obscure but funky-as-a-mosquiter's-tweeter
tracks that you may otherwise never hear.
Joe McPhee’s “Nation Time” album (1971) looks and
sounds fierce. We picked out “Shakey Jake” for inclusion
here because the rhythm section and hammond organ really push this
track along and McPhee’s soloing is intense. The African Roots
of Jazz are an East Bay based collective formed in the late ‘70s
and built around drummer and band leader E.W. Wainwright. Wainwright
goes off on “The Healer” - it’s a percussion heavy
track for the jazz-dance crowd, originally from the album "African
Roots Of Jazz" (1981)…check the vibes and crazy rap at
the end. Lastly is Earl Mosely. Little is known about this man but
he turns out a quality funk tune with a bizarre title - “Fly
In The Soup”, from the album "Facing The Sun", is
all a rare groove fiend could ever ask for.…
