DESCRIPTION
MAGAZINE, my second album.
This is about Die P, but also about Patricia, the young artist with ambitious dreams, grief, and loss, as each of us experiences it.
Why magazine??
Because each song reads like a short article, and no two pages are alike. It's about business gossip, about hip-hop culture; each song is a review of past experiences. It's about stories, Q&As, and personal notes from the artist. Just like a magazine, Die P surprises us, makes us think or gives us new food for thought, makes us laugh or cry.
This magazine is filled with personal and honest lines.
The Queen of German Hip Hop has spoken.

SON PALENQUE -
Masters of palenquera innovation
In the history of Afro-Colombian culture, Son Palenque is without a doubt an exceptional band, and its history has a place at the very heart of ancestral palenquera music as well as at the musical intersection between Africa and Colombia, which took place on Colombia's Caribbean coast in the 70s and 80s and which continues today through champeta, a musical genre and dance that also bears a strong African influence.
The members of Son Palenque band grew up in rural communities fixed in time, with deep musical roots, duels between tambora players and a legendary musical profusion of traditional musicians that built the foundations of today's Afro-Colombian music.
Later they all migrated to the city and bit by bit made a place for themselves. The story of this record starts on a night just like any other, at a picó, a musical block party, of the Pablo VI neighborhood, in the city of Cartagena. It was the peak of Afro-Coastal psychedelic music, of African music and of an endless number of musical fusions. Excited by the gigantic party they had been at until dawn, rocked by the deafening noise of the speakers and the records played at the picó, a few friends went to the beaches of Marbella and improvised a musical rumba; one of them grabbed a beer
can, the other one a stick, Justo Valdez sang his beautiful melodies and the magic of palenquera music grew mystically in front of the waters of the endless sea. "That's where Son Palenque was born," recalls Justo with excitement and nostalgia. Enrique Tejedor and Luciano Torres as the back-up singers, his brother Tomás Valdez in the tambor alegre (a Colombian drum), Pánfilo Valdez as the second lead vocalist...
Little by little the group started to consolidate itself. The first chance came in 1980, when they recorded their first single for the Fonobosa record label. Two years later they recorded an LP, again with Fonobosa, along with Estefanía Caicedo. Later on the band signed with the label Felito Records, in Barranquilla, which during the 80s produced some of the finest gems of psychedelic and Afro-roots music of the time. With Felito Records a new era began for the group. They recorded the LPs "Ane Jue" and "African Erotic" for Félix Brutón, the owner of the label, with sound engineering from Eduardo Dávila and the participation of great musicians like Michi Sarmiento on saxophone, Abelardo Carbonó on guitar, and his brother Abe on bass, among others. These two LPs were a milestone in the history of Afro-Colombian music: for the first time they showed us traditional palenquera music, chalupa, bullerengue, lumlalú and other traditional rhythms mixed with modern arrangements of bass, guitar and saxophone on extraordinary records.
Later on the group recorded three LPs for the CBS music label: "Larepa' Sa", "Los trotamundos del sabor" and "Kaine Sound Band", with the production of Willie Salcedo and the sound engineering of Alfonso Abril. These albums were recorded in the Unisón studios in Barranquilla. In the mid-90s, the musical scene underwent significant changes. The LP industry started to decline, new technologies for digital recording appeared, sequencers and effects, that forever changed the future of music. Son Palenque lost its recording contract, and Justo Valdez started recording songs as a solo artist for the nascent industry of champeta criolla.
In 1999 Son Palenque recorded for the label Palenque Records the song 'Kumina', a long with guitarist Sekou Diabate "The Gold Fingers", legendary leader of the band Bebeya Jazz (Guinea-Conakry). Subsequently they recorded for the same label, under the production of Lucas Silva, the record "Ma Kamajan Ri Musika Ri Palengue", released in 2012, which marked the folkloric group's resurrection. And so Son Palenque continues to play, 30 years after its foundation, and still has a bright future ahead of it. The band has gone through various phases throughout time and they always come back innovating and breaking the mold, with the depth of their roots, their legacy and mastery in the composition of songs, masters in the conception of a unique musical universe.

Abelardo Carbonó, the godfather of champeta, is a legendary Colombian musician who reached a pioneering creative peak in the 1980s with his recordings in the city of Barranquilla. His music knows no boundaries and draws from Afrobeat, highlife, cumbia, Haitian compas, psychedelia…
This compilation presents the ground-breaking and kaleidoscopical work of this unclassifiable artist: the wonderful world of Abelardo Carbonó and his Afro- Colombian psychedelic sound.

DESCRIPTION
Abelardo Carbonó, the godfather of champeta, was born in 1948 in Ciénaga, a small town between Santa Marta and Cartagena, Colombia. He started playing guitar when he was eight or nine, just playing along with his father. His family moved to Barranquilla in 1959. Upon his arrival, he quickly went to become a police cadet as it was pretty much all the city had to offer him in terms of earning one's life.
At the turn of the 80s, Abelardo had almost two decades of being in the police, a job he "wasn't very good at". With his brothers Jafeth (bass) and Abel (solo guitar), he progressively formed what was to become the nucleus of the bands to come, developing their signature: a sharp guitar, a strong bass and a choir that only brothers' voices can deliver. The tropical pop sound, the groaning voice, the drum kit, the mix of rockish and tropical guitar that one would hear later in Abelardo's work, were already visible in his personal way of playing Caribbean music in these early days.
Although tracks like 'A otro perro con ese hueso' may not be exactly developing the same kind of sound, there was already a resemblance in terms of format and arrangement. The vallenato cajón drum, a traditional feature one would rarely consider beyond vallenato circles, was used here and would be used extensively by Abelardo in various contexts. With its childish voices drowned in reverb, the swinging electric bass contrasting with the acoustic guitar, and the funny lyrics about a man who promises a lot as the choir rejects his affirmations, the tune stood out of a 12-song compilation released by Sonolux and gained Abelardo's band attention from the music industry.
Other tracks like 'Quiero a mi gente' and 'Schallcarri' seem to testify once again that Fela Kuti's "Shakara" had a huge impact on the musicians from the coast; the West African and French Caribbean influence became more and more obvious in the band's work, despite Abelardo claiming that he wasn't listening to radio, nor looking for records. In fact, the most decisive influence was the African and Afro Caribbean one: it ranged from the Super Negro Bantous to South African music, the 45s from Kenya and of course Congolese music, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Haitian music, French West Indies... Funk and pop were also important, just as vallenato, cumbia and porro to name a few.
For several years, Abelardo enjoyed the savoir faire and experience of the best studios around and worked with producers such as the great Eduardo Dávila, some sort of costeño Lee Perry, out of which came out memorable sessions with collaborations by legends like Michi Sarmiento and several artists from the Dolcey Gutiérrez Orchestra. The groove was the law, and what a groove!
In his albums for Felito, Abelardo recorded such gems as 'Negra Kulenge', 'Palenque' or 'Carolina', magnified by a great sound and a unique mix. But, for some reason he cannot explain, the follow up to those albums was not, as one could expect, immediate. He recalls having trouble to handle the destiny of his band and actively promote it to find gigs. Instead he even went to the Guajira region as a policeman or to work for the coal mine, supposedly to teach music in the mining company's schools there.
The best of this boundless artist is yet to come. Europe and the rest of the world is finally about to discover the talent of this kind of Colombian Tom Zé. A man representing the psychedelic yet groovy side of the Caribbean musical world, one of the best kept secrets of Colombian music.

DESCRIPTION
During the golden age of vinyl—from the 1960s through the 1980s—Colombia produced an astonishing number of 45 rpm records—many of them not tied to full albums, that continue to surprise collectors and music lovers today.
This abundance can be attributed to many factors: affordability, jukebox demand, radio promotion, or simply the joy of sharing a small musical token with a loved one. Whatever the reason, these little records traveled far and wide, sometimes ending up in distant countries —especially Mexico—, carried by DJs, collectors, or pirate radio waves. They became cultural passports, spreading salsa, cumbia, son montuno, and more.
This curated collection highlights hard-to-find salsa 45s from the Discos Fuentes vaults—deep cuts that have long flown under the radar but still light up dance floors today. These tracks, once pressed in small numbers, feature top tier musicianship, fiery brass, unforgettable grooves, and lyrical gems that reflect the rich diversity of Colombia’s musical landscape.
Among the featured artists are: Super Combo “Los Famosos” with their irresistible barrio anthem ‘El Bailador de la esquina’, capturing the spirit of Cali’s street life, Sexteto Manaure, delivering a poignant son that blends regional pride with poetic nostalgia, La Protesta de Colombia, a revolutionary Barranquilla outfit that gave a young Joe Arroyo his early spotlight and channeled the rebellious pulse of the times.
This compilation also includes a range of studio experiments and covers—where artists like Piper Pimienta, Galileo y Su Banda, and La Integración reimagined beloved hits, from boleros to vallenatos, through a distinctly Colombian salsa lens.
Every track tells a story—of artistic ambition, social change, regional identity, or simple joy. Some were attempts at hits, others personal expressions or studio curiosities. What they share is an authenticity that continues to resonate.
These obscure gems, long scattered across dusty crates and forgotten jukeboxes, now find new life. They speak not just to the past, but to a timeless rhythm that still moves dancers and dreamers alike.

From the explosive opening of ‘It’s My Thing’—a bold response to the Isley Brothers’ ‘It’s Your Thing’ Marva channels sheer intensity, backed by a band that doesn’t let up. The pace briefly softens with ‘If You Love Me,’ a soul-soaked ballad in the spirit of Otis Redding, before diving back into the rhythmic grit of tracks like ‘Unwind Yourself.’
Decades later, “It’s My Thing” continues to inspire, sampled by producers and treasured by collectors—a powerful snapshot of funk at its most uncompromising.

DESCRIPTION
Among the most revered voices in funk, Marva Whitney holds a special place thanks to her fierce energy and unmistakable style on tracks like the classic ‘Unwind Yourself,’ a long-time favorite for DJs and dance floors alike. Emerging from the dynamic world of the James Brown Revue in the late 1960s—alongside iconic names like Lyn Collins and Vicki Anderson—Marva quickly carved out a name for herself.
In 1969, she began recording as a solo artist under James Brown’s King label, scoring a Top 20 R&B hit with ‘It’s My Thing.’ While mainstream hits were few, her music resonated deeply with funk lovers and crate diggers around the world. Songs like ‘You Got to Have a Job’ and the endlessly sampled ‘Unwind Yourself’ have only grown in stature over the decades.
Her album, “It’s My Thing”, dropped that same year and has since become a touchstone of the genre. Backed by the legendary JB’s and produced by James Brown himself—who also contributed to most of the songwriting—the album captures a raw, unapologetic funk sound with a distinctly female voice at the forefront.

This compilation brings together for the first time the best songs by Los Zheros, one of the most renowned cumbia bands to emerge in the early 1970s in Iquitos—alongside groups like Los Rogers and Los Wemblers—in the heart of Peru's Amazon capital.
The unique Amazonian sound blended fast, percussive cumbia rhythms with electric guitars in a surf style—a distinctive fusion that came to define Peruvian-recorded cumbia, markedly different from the traditional cumbia styles that developed in other cumbia-producing countries like Colombia.
The album includes their psychedelic rock hit ‘Cuarto Oscuro,’ a highly sought-after track not only by cumbia collectors but also by garage and psychedelic DJs. This song also marked the beginning of their recording career in 1973.

DESCRIPTION
Ranil is undoubtedly the most unconventional figure among the greats of Amazonian cumbia, earning a well-deserved place alongside all the better-known iconic bands. He worked as a teacher, criollo guitarist, radio host, TV entrepreneur, and politician, but gained lasting fame as the founder of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical in the 1970s.
By 1968, around the same time Los Destellos were making waves in Lima, groups like Los Wembler’s de Iquitos and Juaneco y su Combo began electrifying cumbia in Iquitos. This new genre, dubbed Amazonian cumbia, exploded nationwide in 1973, thanks to hits by Juaneco y su Combo, Los Mirlos, and Los Wembler’s. The success these bands achieved spawned dozens of other groups from the Amazon. Ranil, always a visionary, recognized the movement’s potential and joined forces through his first single recorded on the Dinsa label in 1974. Unhappy with the contractual terms, he went on to found Producciones Llerena, the label on which he would release the rest of his discography.
Over the years, Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical featured guitarists like Límber Zumba and Luis Nigro, while Ranil remained the lead vocalist and bassist for group. Zumba and Nigro had already played with other regional bands and written songs for groups like Los Destellos and Los Mirlos.
This compilation offers a glimpse into the vast musical output Ranil created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bringing together 14 tracks from the band’s 10 LPs. These records have always been hard to come by as, despite being recorded in Lima, they were distributed by Ranil from Iquitos. Psychedelia, rock fusion, cumbia, salsa, mambo, Amazonian folk… you’ll find all these flavors blended into the vibrant, jungle-rich sound Ranil crafted.

DESCRIPTION
Step into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with “Change Up the Groove”, a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity’s early Polygram years. Often overlooked in favor of Ayers’ bigger hits, this soulful album is a masterclass in jazz-funk fusion, capturing the essence of Ayers’ evolving style as he bridged the gap between his jazz roots and the rhythmic snap of the '70s funk revolution.
From the very first track, Ayers’ signature vibes take center stage, shimmering with emotion and groove. The album leans heavily into instrumental richness, with standout contributions from jazz greats like the legendary Bernard Purdie on drums. Strings weave in and out subtly, enhancing Ayers’ already deep and textured arrangements.
Highlights include the undeniable funk of ‘The Boogie Back’, a breakbeat favorite for crate-diggers and DJs (sampled by the likes of NWA, 2Pac, De La Soul…), and a lush, electrified rendition of ‘Feel Like Makin’ Love’ that glows with mellow soul. The title track ‘Change Up the Groove’ delivers the kind of tightly arranged, emotionally charged funk that defined the era.
“Change Up the Groove” isn’t just an album—it’s a snapshot of Roy Ayers’ artistic evolution, full of rhythm, heart, and timeless groove. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his legacy, this record is essential listening.

DESCRIPTION
Indianapolis' legendary Rhythm Machine is one of the rare funk bands that transitioned between eras of funk's history seamlessly, creating awesome funk sides for a host of independent labels between the years of 1968 and 1976. Born out of cult Indy funk band The Highlighters' ashes, the Rhythm Machine was founded in the early '70s by bass player James Boone and guitarist James Brantley.
Their self-titled and only LP, originally released in 1976, is a wild, super-groovy ride with tight band energy and a bunch of unexpected twists that keep things interesting from start to finish. At first, you might catch some Earth, Wind & Fire vibes—deep basslines, funky beats, and killer horn sections—but dig a little deeper and you’ll find something a little looser, a little cooler. There’s a smooth, jazzy undercurrent running through a lot of these tracks that gives the whole thing a fresh, off-the-beaten-path feel.
Some songs drift into a dreamy, almost spacey zone—think cosmic funk with a romantic twist. The production is silky, almost liquid-like, letting the guitars shimmer and the keys float. And when the soprano sax kicks in? Pure magic. It adds just the right bite to take the tracks up a notch.
Perfect for late-night grooves, chill sessions, or anyone hunting for that hidden gem funk record with serious soul.

DESCRIPTION
Adib founded Ladies W.C. with his friends Jose Maria Arria “Chema” (bass, vocals), Wolfgang Vivas (lead vocals), and Frank Rojas (drums). Their sound was so innovative that it was not conducive to getting many bookings and they barely managed to play a single concert. As a result, all the original line-up, except Adib, upped and left. Soon after, Stephen Scott and Mario and Jaime Seijas replaced them, seamlessly complementing Adib's playing and his growing interest in blues and psychedelic hard rock.
The group’s first and only album, released by the Venezuelan label Souvenir, was recorded at Continente Studios in just 10 days. Ricardo Landaeta acted as technician, while Adib and Stephen worked out all the structures and arrangements of the songs, as well as the lyrics. They were very intense recording sessions in which they spent full days locked inside the studio. Hector Fuenmayor is the only guest musician on the recording (flute on 'To Walk on Water'). All the songs are their own compositions, which was unusual on the Venezuelan scene, as groups’ repertoires tended to be cover versions of international hits. The sleeve art, displaying a striking illustration instead of the classic covers showing a photo of the band, was also a novel ingredient in Venezuela, as was the distorted sound of the guitars which made great use of the wah-wah pedal, the extensive harmonica playing, and creative use of sound effects, all of which gave the album a unified conceptual feel.
The band were only active for only a couple of years from 1968 to 1969. Mario and Jaime left Venezuela to study in the United States, and although Adib spent a summer there with them playing as Ladies W.C. on the Allentown college circuit, the group was destined to split up.
Adib joined Sky White Meditation after he returned home and remained as a band member until 1972. Meanwhile Jaime Seijas played on another equally seminal record in the history of Venezuelan rock, The Love Depression album, also released by the Souvenir label.

Two awesome Latin jazz-funk gems for the dance floor, blazing with the rich brass section and percussion.
Both songs are taken from mega-rare Venezuelan LPs released in 1976.
Reissued on a 45 for the first time.

TRACKLIST
Side A
LA RETRETA MAYOR -TORTA DE PAN
Side B
PABLO SCHNEIDER -LA VENGANZA

DESCRIPTION
First time 45 reissue of these two awesome Latin jazz-funk gems from Venezuela.
La Retreta Mayor was founded and led by guitarist Alex Rodríguez. ‘Torta de pan’, reminiscent of recordings of classic US funk bands such as the JBs, was originally included in their only and hard-to-find LP. On the flip side of our 45 we find ‘La venganza’ that was part of a mega rare soundtrack written and recorded by Pablo Schneider for the obscure Venezuelan sexploitation film “Sobre la Hierba… Virgen”. Both songs were released on Discomoda in 1976 and the original records are almost impossible to find in any condition.
How cool and handy is to have both songs together on a DJ-friendly 45? First time 7” reissue.

DESCRIPTION
Double green and yellow vinyl LP pressing. To qualify as a classic, a rap album must be solid from start to finish, containing no fillers, all thrillers. The musical production should match the lyrical skills of the MCs and the artist should possess his or her own style and flavor. Naughty By Nature's self-titled debut can rightfully be called timeless. When it dropped in 1991, it was a critical and commercial success, having been certified platinum. The global hip-hop community took notice, and it's stature stands years later. Featured singles include the sing-along club classic "O.P.P." which reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, "Wickedest Man Alive" featuring rap legend Queen Latifah and the "Louie Louie" Vega-produced "1, 2, 3." with a feature from Lakim Shabazz. "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" and "Uptown Anthem, " both became minor hits on the Billboard charts. The self titled album is collection of bouncy beats and powerful rhymes making it a must-have record for lovers of East Coast hip-hop.

DESCRIPTION
The third Roots album (counting Organix) is still criminally slept on. Thankfully DGC has given it a proper vinyl reissue so more heads can get up on this 1996 hip-hop classic. Illadelph Halflife is the starting point of the sound that has dominated their subsequent records: half live, half studio with a thin line in between. Illadelph captures that dynamic in its rawest state, when The Roots still flaunted home studio-type EQs and non-radio hooks (waaay before the Tonight Show era). This aesthetic is best captured on the album's many standouts like "Concerto of the Desperado," "Respond React," "Push Up Ya Lighter," "Clones," "Universe At War" featuring Common, "Ital" featuring Q-Tip, and "What They Do." 20 tracks on double vinyl, recommended.

DESCRIPTION
Formed in 1999 by acclaimed hip-hop producers Dan the Automator (Gorillaz, Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030) and Prince Paul (Stetsasonic, de la Soul, Gravediggaz,) Handsome Boy Modeling School is a concept project that instantly turned heads and brought a whole new dynamic to the world of hip-hop. Hidden behind the world-class and all-star lineup, the group created aproject that parodied vain, consumerist, materialistic and self-absorbed members of upper-class society. While the 1999 release of their debut project, "So... How's Your Girl?," helped to set the tone and introduce the world to Handsome Boy Modeling School, it was their 2004 follow-up, "White People," which helped to solidify the project as a game-changer amongst hip-hop heads. With Dan the Automator and Prince Paul behind the boards, "White People," featured a stacked list of features including but not limited to de la Soul, Jack Johnson, Lord Finesse, Mike Shonoda, Pharrell Williams, El-P and RZA. Touted by John Murphy of MusicOMH as, "the most innovative, original and enjoyable hip-hop album since Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," "White People has undoubtedlybecome a somewhat overlooked gem of it's era. Topping out at #168 on the Billboard 200, #79 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #4 on the Top Heatseekers charts, this release has only grown in popularity over the years as it is discovered by more and more hip-hop heads looking for the left-of-center.

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.

DESCRIPTION
Motown producer and songwriter Norman Whitfield assembled The Undisputed Truth to further explore the psychedelic soul he had been developing with the Temptations on songs like ‘Cloud Nine’ and ‘Psychedelic Shack’.
Joe Harris, Billie Calvin and Brenda Evans were assembled as the vocal front line and their first single was ‘Save My Love For A Rainy Day’/’Since I’ve Lost You’ that was released on Gordy in February 1971 and got to #43 on the R&B Chart.
It was followed by ‘Smiling Faces Sometimes’/’You Got The Love I Need’ that was a massive hit single getting to #2 R&B and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their debut album “The Undisputed Truth” followed and not only contained all four tracks issued on 7” but an almost interstellar version of ‘Ball Of Confusion (That’s What The World Is Today)’, ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’ as well as very soulful prowl through Bob Dylan’s ‘Like a Rolling Stone’. Tracks like ‘California Soul’ and ‘Aquarius’ also ticked the psychedelic soul box. All told it was a fantastic debut and sold strongly.
Amazingly this fantastic album has not been repressed since 1972. Thus Ace are delighted to put it back into the record racks pressed on 180gm black vinyl.
With the planet still a ‘Ball Of Confusion (That’s What The World Is Today)’ records like speak to both an old and new generation. Good music never goes out of fashion.

DESCRIPTION
When Creed Taylor was setting up his CTI label one of his proposed signings was Billy Vera. This led to a deal for Vera’s younger sister Kathy McCord. In fact, McCord was the first artist signed and recorded by CTI. Her debut, “Kathy McCord” was released in 1970.
Although the label would go on to establish a fine reputation in jazz, Kathy McCord was a folk rock album. A gifted young poet the 17-year old McCord wrote many of the tracks on the album which were then interpreted in the studio by a crack team of jazz musicians that included Harvey Brooks (bass), Hubert Laws (flute), John Hall (guitar) and Wells Kelly and Ed Shaugnessy (drums). Musically and lyrically both the musicians and McCord stretched out on tracks like ‘Rainbow Ride’, ‘Jennipher’, ‘Candle Waxing’ and ‘Take Away This Pain’ to conjure up an amazing fusing of folk and jazz. The only cover on show was a version of Lennon and McCartney’s ‘She’s Leaving Home’ which McCord repurposed as I’m Leaving Home.
Upon release the album sold poorly. Creed’s expertise and contacts were in the jazz field and he had no idea how to market an album of folk jazz songs sung with fragile beauty by a good looking girl still in her late teenage years. Also, when Billy Vera did not sign to CTI McCord was dropped.
Over time “Kathy McCord” attracted a dedicated following amongst folk-rock collectors in America and the UK. In many respects it was an echo of something like Deena Webster’s 1968 folk rock LP, “Tuesday’s Child” that also came, went and is now sought after.
Ace are delighted to give the world the first vinyl reissue of “Kathy McCord” since 1970. Pressed on black 180gm vinyl it also includes liner notes from Billy Vera who, in conclusion, has this to say about his later beloved sister, “My sister had the goods. She could sing, she could write and she looked great. Like so many other talented people, she just failed to get lucky. Listen and enjoy her. I love her stuff”. You will too...

DESCRIPTION

George Clinton’s imagination knew no bounds and, defying normal music industry convention, by 1978 had five bands signed to three different record labels. One of these comprised of three other Parliament/ Funkadelic female backing singers working under the name of Parlet, whose debut single, ‘Pleasure Principle’ was released on Casablanca Records in March 1978.

It was Clinton’s idea that two other backing singers, Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, become the Brides Of Funkenstein, a character he invented for the 1976 Parliament LP, “The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein”. “I have to be honest – at first, I hated the name and I thought George was kidding,” Mabry told Blues & Soul, “But I have gotten to like it – especially just the Brides.”

Clinton got the Brides signed to Atlantic Records and their first single was ‘Disco To Go’ / ‘ When You’re Gone’. The A-side was written and produced by Clinton and Bootsy Collins and had originally featured in live shows by Collins’ live band. Clinton was asked by Black Echoes why the song was recorded by the Brides rather than Bootsy. “He could, and it would have been a smash too,” he replied. “But we thought it sounded too much like James Brown, so we gave it to the girls. Now it don’t sound like James Brown.” It certainly did not and this electronic bass and horn-powered banger – complete with an Old MacDonald nursery rhyme refrain – debuted on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart at #80 on 30th September 1978. By the time the P-Funk crew were flying across the Atlantic in early November it had peaked at #7. Sadly for UK fans, ‘Disco To Go’ was only available on import although a Black Echoes review stated it was a “Slow chunky handclapper. It sounds not unlike Funkadelic’s own ‘Coming Round The Mountain’”.

‘Disco To Go’, went gold in America selling over 500,000 copies. It was the perfect springboard for the Brides debut LP, “Funk Or Walk” which quickly climbed into the upper reaches of the R&B chart and even saw the duo embark upon a signing tour of record stores. All of the songs on “Funk Or Walk” were written by legends of P-Funk, such as Bootsy Collins, Rodney Curtis, Bernie Worrell, Gary Shider and Clinton. “George has got thousands of tracks,” Mabry told Black Echoes. “When we go into the studio he says, ‘Like this track?” And we go‘Aaaaaahh naa.’ ‘Like this one?’ ‘Well, yeah.’ He’s got thousands of tracks. He’s got a whole cupboard full of them. He’s got enough tracks to keep him in albums for two years.” Clinton himself told Blues & Soul how his busy production line worked, “How do we do it? Real simple: we lay down rhythm tracks all the time and just decide who should have what.”

“Funk Or Walk” kicked off with the dancefloor filler Disco To Go’ while elsewhere the nine-minute ballad ‘Just Like You’ showed another musical side of the group. ‘Birdie’ was a prime slice of word-playful danceable horn-powered funk arranged by Fred Wesley. ‘Amorous’ and the ethereal intergalactic ‘War Ship Touchante’ splattered with electronic and vocal effects – a close encounter of the P-Funk kind – were released as the Brides’ second single and peaked at #76 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in February 1979. “I especially like ‘Amorous’ and ‘War Ship Touchante’”, Silva told Blues & Soul, “because they convey a real message and I like that. And that message is happy and it is important to us that people get happiness from us. We really get upset when we don’t win over an audience.”

“Funk Or Walk” peaked at #17 on the Billboard R&B album chart and #70 on the Hot 100. It was also released in the UK and Germany to tie in with UK and European dates at the end of 1978 and early in 1979. Blues & Soul gave it a positive review, “If you like Parliament/Funkadelic, then it’s easy – you’ll lap this up.”

The album has not been reissued on vinyl since 1976 and Ace are delighted to put it out again. It comes with an inner sleeve with notes written by Ace’s Ian Shirley.
