MUCHACHO BARRIGÓN

DESCRIPTION
Salsa pianist, vocalist, composer and arranger Ray Pérez, acquired his nickname “Loco” by being a free, independent spirit, an innovator and iconoclast who was initially branded as “crazy” for the freshness and audacity of his sound.
Amazingly, he is not that well known in the US, where he spent some time in the late 1960s and salsa was king during the 1970s. Yet he was quite popular in his home country from the beginning, especially amongst the working class of Caracas and Maracaibo, who adopted Cuban music played by New York Puerto Ricans as their own and called it “salsa” years before the term was employed by US labels like Fania as a marketing tool. Pérez is revered in Venezuela, as well as in Mexico and Colombia, and his storied career, which spans seven decades and thousands of concerts, has yielded more than 35 albums recorded by his various bands, including Los Dementes, Los Kenya, and Los Calvos, all of which are collector’s items today.
These two hot tracks were released in the early 70s and became instant dance floor fillers. In fact, ‘Muchacho Barrigón’ crossed over beyond the Venezuelan salsa scene and a few versions of the tune were recorded by international artists. How cool and handy is to have both songs together on a DJ-friendly 45? First time 7” reissue.

DESCRIPTION
Two killer tracks of erotic psychedelia with a jazzy twist and touches of acid rock by the French cabaret star Rita and Chilean rock pioneers Aguaturbia.
A perfect soundtrack to an imaginary sexploitation film, half-way between the classic sound of library records and a progressive and hypnotic musical journey driven by fuzzy guitars.
Reissued on a 45 for the first time.
--------------------------------
Dos bombazos de psicodelia sensual con toques de jazz y de rock ácido a cargo de la estrella del cabaret francés, Rita, y de los pioneros del rock chileno Aguaturbia.
Serían la banda sonora perfecta para una película imaginaria de sexploitation, a medio camino entre los discos de librería y un viaje musical lisérgico bañado en guitarras distorsionadas.
Primera reedición en formato single.

LOS DARLINGS DE HUANUCO —MARIHUANA

Welcome to the psychedelic vibes of this weed-inspired double sider where Colombian salsa and Peruvian cumbia meet!
‘Cannabis’ is a killer organ-driven salsa song recorded by Colombian music legend Fruko while ‘Marihuana’ by Los Darlings de Huanuco was conceived as an effort to combine rock and cumbia sounds resulting a perfectly balanced mix of both worlds.
First time 7” reissue of these extremely hard to find records!

DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the psychedelic vibes of this weed-inspired double sider where Colombian salsa and Peruvian cumbia meet!
Julio Ernesto Estrada Rincón aka Fruko has probably had one the busiest recording careers in the salsa biz! Not only did Discos Fuentes release some 18 full LPs under the “Fruko” banner over a 20-year period, in addition there were various side-projects like Afrosound and Orquesta Full Salsa, and also one-off studio projects like Los Pambelé. ‘Cannabis’ is the only song released under this name and happens to be a killer organ-driven weed inspired salsa song that funnily enough was renamed ‘Yerbabuena’ (peppermint) when included on a 1972 compilation…
On the flipside, we find Los Darlings de Huanuco, a pioneer band in introducing rock sounds into the local music scene of this Peruvian city. Under the inspiration of international bands such as Led Zeppelin, Santana or The Ventures and also local artists like Jean Paul “El Troglodita” or Los York’s they recorded ‘Marihuana’. Since the band background was cumbia, the resulting sound of the song is a perfect combination of both worlds despite the original idea was recording a rock number.
First time 7” reissue of these extremely hard to find records!

DESCRIPTION
To round out their second wave of 7" singles, Night Owls bring the heat once again with their signature sound and vision. Re-imagining two Aaron Neville classics, “Hercules” feat. Alex Désert and The Lions b/w “Tell It Like It Is” feat. Asdru Sierra from Ozomatli, Night Owls up the ante by bringing in some heavy hitters for both sides of this 45. Side A's "Hercules" features long-time collaborators and bandmates from The Lions (Stones Throw, Ubiquity, NYCT) - the soulful tenor of Alex Désert (also Hepcat) on lead blending seamlessly with the familiar voices of Deston Berry (Hepcat) and Malik Moore (Ocean 11) on backing harmonies. The Lions front line locks in tight from the many years performing together on top of a darker and grittier interpretation of Allen Toussaint’s masterpiece complete with fuzzed-out guitar, Space Echoes and rhythm drops. On the flip, "Tell It Like It Is" keeps the momentum going and hips swaying with added Colombian percussion elements and California lowrider vibes. Featuring L.A. family and multi-talented vocalist of Ozomatli, Asdru Sierra, on lead and Night Owl Dan Ubick on backing vocals Side B creates a unique blend of reggae and Cumbia into a very fresh take on this multi-generational hit.

TRACKLIST
I’m Hurt
Lov'h

DESCRIPTON
To crate diggers, he’s Tyrone Thomas, the man behind Tyrone Thomas and the Whole Darn Family’s “Seven Minutes of Funk”—one of the most sampled tracks in music history. But dig a little deeper, and Northern Soul and Low-Rider Oldies devotees know him better as Little Tommy, a teenage sensation who cut his teeth in the ’60s on August Moon’s Sound of Soul label. Now, Secret Stash Records is thrilled to present the first-ever reproduction of this Richmond, VA native’s 1964 debut, “I’m Hurt” b/w “Lov’h.” Clean copies of this rare gem easily fetch over $200, and for good reason. Originally released when Thomas was only 16, “I’m Hurt” became a Low Rider Oldies anthem, while “Lov’H” has fueled Northern Soul all-nighters for generations. This limited pressing—only 500 hand-numbered units—pays homage to Little Tommy’s early impact, preserving a slice of soul history that’s as rare as it is timeless.

El Combo Batanga is a musical explosion at the intersection of Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin funk. A group of powerful musicians who blend son, timba, Latin soul, and boogaloo for people to enjoy.

Loving In The Morning

DESCRIPTION
Continued Sound’s third release is a 7” reissue of the ultra-rare Queen Bee recordings by Kip Carmen and The New Frontier. Kip Carmen is a singer, songwriter, and performer known for his distinctive blend of soul, country, and rhythm & blues. Emerging in the 1970s, Carmen carved out a niche with his smooth yet expressive vocals, fusing the emotional depth of country storytelling with the groove and warmth of classic soul. His music, often accompanied by his band The New Frontier, reflects an era where genres overlapped freely, creating a sound both timeless and uniquely his own. Though not a mainstream household name, Kip Carmen developed a dedicated following, particularly among fans of northern soul and roots-driven music. His recordings showcase a keen sense of melody, heartfelt lyricism, and rich instrumentation. “Loving in the Morning” and “That’s Enough for Me” highlight his ability to craft emotionally resonant tracks that speak to love, life’s simple pleasures, and heartfelt reflection. Beyond his studio recordings, Carmen’s career was defined by his dynamic live performances. Whether fronting a full band or delivering an intimate set, he brought an undeniable passion to the stage, captivating audiences with his smooth delivery and authentic presence. His ability to bridge musical styles allowed him to appeal to a diverse audience, from soul enthusiasts to country traditionalists. This single serves as a snapshot. A definitive moment in the eclectic career of a journeyman songwriter. It’s our pleasure to share this moment with you.

DESCRIPTION
On Awaken The Sleeping Giant, New York emcee Queen Herawin delivers a cathartic blend of stunning tales of personal growth with raw, speaker-shaking instrumentals. As one third of The Juggaknots and through previous solo work, she’s more than proven herself as a force in the world of Hip-Hop. But ATSG is simply on another level—and its release was well worth the wait.   After dropping her debut, Metamorphosis, in 2015, Queen Herawin moved from NYC to Chicago and put out an EP, The Space Between Things. And upon returning to New York she hit a creative wall and began to internalize her feelings and thoughts. Eventually, those emotions that she had turned a blind eye to emerged to tell the story of an awakening. Queen Herawin brings those feelings to life in the form of both track titles and jaw-dropping lyricism, and she gets right to the point on the opener, “Focus.” A gut-punch of writing, the song is also a flat-out banger thanks to Bear-One’s production. It sets the tone for the rest of the record, too, as Herawin moves through emotions like “Anger,” “Denial,” and “Shame” with an unmatched pen game. But she also makes room for bravado and culling self-doubt on standout tracks “Arrogant (feat. Poison Pen)” and “Manifest (feat. Apathy & Mickey Factz).”   “The album is a musical memoir,” Queen Herawin explains. “It’s about acceptance, but also awakening to the things I wanted to bring awareness to.” Most importantly, ATSG represents Queen Herawin’s journey and personal growth, and she hopes it will have a similar effect on listeners.   Awaken The Sleeping Giant hits all major digital retailers and streaming platforms on February 28th via Matic Records. The album features Pretty Bulli, Illa Ghee, Ke Turner, Poison Pen, Open Mike Eagle, Apathy, Mickey Factz, Aaqil Ali, Rachel Walker, and fellow Juggaknot, brother Breeze Brewin. Producers include Bear-One, Supastition, Neff Beats, Solitaire, Johnny Slash, King Rem, B-Money, EMPEE, J.Depina, Neff Beatz, Marlon “Solitaire” King and DJ Deception.

DESCRIPTION
“Look at it! There’s a guy in a Muslim skull cap and glasses, singing about space and love – wicked! Blows your mind!” Norman Jay
Lonnie Liston Smith's "Expansions" is one of the most influential records ever to have been released with its sound ricocheting through many different music scenes. It is one of dance music's fundamental building blocks, and an anthem to UK clubland.
Now for its 50th Anniversary we are celebrating that influence by an ultra-high quality deluxe vinyl edition of the album. Using the original album master tape we decamped to Frank Merritt's East London studio, the Carvery, for an all Analogue cut of the album - it has never sounded better!
We have housed this in a tip-on a laminated gatefold sleeve, which has allows Jack Martin's original painting of Lonnie to shine as never before. We have also a fully illustrated sleeve note by Frank Tope, telling the story of how the record took its journey through the universe from its spiritual jazz route to become a clubland anthem. This story is told with help from Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay and more.
The album as a whole is essential, going beyond the dance-ability of the title track, through its seven tracks to be one of the great jazz albums of the 70s. Produced by Lonnie and Bob Thiele (producer of Gil Scott-Heron's “Pieces Of A Man” and John Coltrane's “A Love Supreme”) it should be in every record collection.
For its 50th Anniversary why not make it this edition…

DESCRIPTION
Soul music has always been in Paul Weller’s blood from early Jam covers of Martha & the Vandellas 1963 classic ‘Heatwave’. Along with other forms of music, soul found its way into Paul’s record collection, nourishing his ears and informing his own songwriting.
We don’t need to recap a questing musical career from the Jam to the Style Council which then blossomed into one of the most productive and revered careers of any UK solo artist. Paul has written anthems, standards and a songbook that have always developed from his own feelings.
Whilst Paul has talked about his love of soul music he has, before now, simply been too busy to sit down and curate a collection of his favourite tracks and get it into the record racks.
Ace Records are honoured and delighted to finally release that Paul Weller curated collection which he has aptly titled, “That Sweet Sweet Music”.
This 2-LP set and CD open the curtains on 26 tracks that are some of Paul’s favourite soul records most of which nestle on vinyl in his own collection. He can still recall paying £70 for his copy of Jon Lucien’s 1971 ‘Search For The Inner Self’ 7” at a record shop in Leicester in the 90s. Some of these tracks are soul classics like James Carr’s 1966 ‘Pouring Water On A Drowning Man’ and Brother to Brother's brilliant take on Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson’s ‘In The Bottle’ from 1975. Others are deliciously obscure wonderous gems like the A-side of Blackrock’s sole 1971 single ‘Blackrock “Yeah, Yeah”’, ‘Life Walked Out’ from the same year by The Mist or Syl Johnson’s ‘Black Balloons’ taken from his 1970 album “Is It Because I’m Black?”.
There are plenty of big vocal hitters such as Darrell Banks, Spinners, Joe Simon, O.C. Smith, the Dells and Betty Davis. Whilst the core is vocal soul the music does branch out with Paul selecting a wicked instrumental from the flipside of the Isley Brothers’ ‘Twist & Shout’ from 1962 and the funky jazz of the Headhunters ‘God Made Me Funky’, the A-side of their first 1975 seven-inch.
Paul has not only written an introduction but the way he has curated the music allows each side of the vinyl and the CD to flow like a river taking the listener on a journey through some of his favourite music.
It’s a Sweet Sweet collection indeed.

DESCRIPTION
The stomping intro to Larry Atkins’ ‘Ain’t That Love Enough’ leads into an excellent soul song by R&B stalwart Kent Harris. Hs mid-60s soul productions were as good as they come.
The pairing repeated the formula on ‘Lighten Up’ a backing track that Kent also used on his partner Ty Karim’s ‘Lighten Up Baby’. Both sides here are recognised as Northern Soul classics.

01 East Side

DESCRIPTION
Hank Jacobs was an accomplished West coast keyboard player who had an instrumental hit with ‘So Far Away’ in 1964. He became a Los Angeles session man who worked on many recording sessions with arranger Arthur Wright with whom he had four releases on Alton Scott’s Call Me label. The uber-cool ‘East Side’ with its mid-tempo groove was initially his best-known track, having been appreciated by the Lowrider and Popcorn scenes since its release.
The flip ‘Elijah Rockin’ With Soul’ was the one for the UK soul scene though. Its urgent beat was perfect for Northern Soul dancefloors and was augmented by the cream of LA’s musicians.

01 Crying Clown

DECRIPTION
Regarded as the epitome of Northern Soul by many aficionados, ‘I’m Gone’, by Detroit’s Eddie Parker, captures the adrenalin and anger of a busted relationship and he tells of his determination to start again - elsewhere. The pulsating rhythm matches that anger and producer Jack Ashford, one of Motown’s key Funk Brothers, utilises his percussive know-how to produce such a vital track.
The flip ‘Crying Clown’ is musically and thematically miles away - with heartbreak and sorrow to the fore over a beautiful ballad backing. These are two of the greatest soul recordings from the 1960s.

01 Doin' "The Gittin' Up"

DESCRIPTION
Songwriter / producer Larry Banks worked a lot with girl groups in the late 60s, particularly for GWP productions. The Geminis and Exciters tracks he produced were issued on the RCA imprint… but the equally good Devonnes recordings failed to make it to wax. Kent accessed the master tapes some twenty years ago and released all four of their performperformances. The catchy dancer ‘Doin’ “The Gittin’ Up”’ first came out on a 100 Club anniversary 45 in 2005 and has been in demand ever since.
‘(You’d Better) Straighten Up And Fly Right’ was issued on CD in the same year, but has never made it to vinyl until now. The song was recorded by Terri Bryant on Verve in 1967 and is highly regarded; this new coupling will be a popular choice.

A. SEARCH FOR THE INNER SELF – Jon Lucien
B. WE’VE GOT LOVE – Jon Lucien

DESCRIPTION
‘Search For The Inner Self’, Jon Lucien’s 1971 ethereal, soul masterpiece has gained admirers costantly since its 1971 release. The Beau Ray Fleming production, ingeniously arranged by Horace Ott in New York, kick-started a successful career of sensuous soul songs that saw him write and record more than a dozen albums from the 70s to the noughties.
‘We’ve Got Love’ is more of an “old school” 60s soul dancer, recorded around the same time, that was not heard until a self-released CD in 1999. It has remained under the radar to all but a few of the cognoscenti. This vinyl debut will earn it many more fans.

Eramus Hall formed in the late 70s and, christened by Funkadelic’s George Clinton, signed to Westbound Records. They released their first single - ‘Do The Rock/Think Positively’ – in 1979 and - ‘She Shined A Light/Stuck In The Mudd’ – in 1980.

Their debut album was also released in 1980 and served up a sublime blend of soul shot through with elements of P-Funk. Only waxed in America, the album sold poorly, but over time it has been hailed as a classic with original copies sought after by collectors worldwide and now sell for hundreds of pounds. For the record, a second album “Gohead” followed in 1984 on Capitol.

Although Ace have reissued “Eramus Hall” in the past this edition has long sold out. Now, this new remastered edition replicates the original US 1980 pressing with yellow Westbound labels and the original lyric inner sheet.

Snap them up, as this one will fly. No ‘Funk Permit’required.

“Arriving like a victory lap, the grandeur of Fraud’s production provides an intoxicating foil to Boldy’s steely honesty and delivery”....“Boldy and Fraud’s technical brilliance on The Bricktionary is direct and precise, not overcomplicated, and it allows their respective production and writing styles to fit like puzzle pieces. This kind of no-frills approach leans on intrinsic quality and dependability, not on bells and whistles,
and leaps into the stratosphere.” - Pitchfork

DESRIPTION
When one makes mention of Deee-Lite, the 90's house-funk trio of Lady Miss Kier, and DJs Dmitry and Towa Tei, invariably their Billboard smash single “Groove Is In The Heart” will come up, and for good reason. With its Herbie Hancock-sampling bassline, some classic rhymes from Q-Tip, and guest vocals by Parliament-Funkadelic legend Bootsy Collins, the song became an indelible classic of 90s music, a massive commercial hit for Deee-lite and is widely considered one of the greatest dance songs of all time. Although a massive success for the group, “Groove Is In The Heart” led to some pigeonholing from critics and reviewers, who had specific expectations for future records.
Rather than deliver more of the same free-wheeling, breezy dance music of World Clique, Deee-lite took a more politically-minded approach with their second album, spurred largely by front-woman Lady Miss Kier, who had a lengthy history of political activism prior to forming the group. 1992's Infinity Within rendered several Dance-chart hit singles, but was not as commercially or critically lauded as its forebear.
Deee-lite were undaunted by their change in commercial fortune, regrouping with the addition of junglist DJ Ani, replacing the absent Towa Tei to record their third record. 1994's Dewdrops In The Garden was the result of their efforts, which struck a remarkable balance between the celebratory grooves of World Clique, and the social justice-driven Infinity Within. Lady Miss Kier had done a lot of world-traveling in the time between albums, and the material in Dewdrops was a reflection of her experiences, applying a spirit of global togetherness to their house-funk grooves.
Regrettably, Dewdrops In The Garden was not a commercial success, yet it still managed to render its share of #1 Dance Chart singles; the atmospheric techno bounciness of “Bring Me Your Love”, and the spacious funk-house track “Call Me.” Though Deee-lite would disband soon after Dewdrops In The Garden's release, the record remains an unheralded favorite among dance music devotees for its coupling infectiously bright, and soulful melodies, with banging dance-floor grooves, and unshakably optimistic vibes.

DESCRIPTION
This anthology follows Now-Again's Loving On The Flipside, issued more than a decade ago. And that anthology itself got its start in a different time, a decade even earlier - the era in which Now-Again's Egon and his friends chased down funk 45s and the odd LP for their testosterone riddled, aggressive sound. Often times the funk song on one of their chosen is would be the throw-away b-side, the hasty afterthought the band cobbled together the night before hitting - or while in - the studio because they'd put all of their energies into writing the amazing ballad that would ensure their entry in soul's history books.
Every once in a while, that funk song they coveted could have been - in an alternate universe - a ballad. The Third Guitar's "Baby Don't Cry," El Pooks* "I Could Do The Impossible" and Spider Harrison's "Beautiful Day" all fit into this category. That realization notwithstanding, more often than not they shined over the ballads to get to the tough stuff.
Then they started flipping those funk records over to find some loving on the flip side. Some marvellous tunes were there to be found.
This is the long awaited follow up. Contained within this anthology are some of the greatest soul ballads that go sweet with a beat - or, to follow our tagline, epitomize "sweet funk." Most of these songs have never been compiled. Some have never been issued in any form. Some, like the Ledgends entry here, were sampled to great success (in that case for Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's "Deeper"). Some haven't been sampled, but, like Herb Johnson's entry, are patiently awaiting their day.
It should go without saying that we're proud to present this music in good conscience; with the full participation of everyone but the most obscure names contained within. And, for those who we've not yet been able to contact, this is our message: We've found your brethren, we've placed them beside you on an album that we hope you feel is befitting of your collective contri- butions to soul music and now we're just waiting for you. Though the music you recorded is from the years past, vour time is now.
