DESCRIPTION

In the early 90s gangsta rap dominated on the West Coast led by N.W.A., Above The Law, CMW, Ice-T, and Bay Area artists like Too $hort. The East Coast had harder acts like EPMD and Kool G Rap, alongside politically and socially conscious groups like Public Enemy, BDP, and Poor Righteous Teachers. In contrast, groups like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Brand Nubian emerged with a more positive and laid-back vibe. It was during this time frame that Oakland, CA’s Del The Funky Homosapien (PKA Del Tha Funkee Homosapien) emerged incorporating elements and styles akin to The Native Tongue's East Coast Hip-Hop with a P-Funk-influenced West Coast vibe.
I Wish My Brother George Was Here debuted in 1991 under Del’s cousin Ice Cube’s Street Knowledge imprint. The album was quite the opposite of "Street Knowledge" with 14 tracks of funk-filled beats and Del spitting humorous stories as an outsider to the gangsta rap scene. The amazing production was overseen by Ice Cube’s production crew The Boogie Men who also produced Da Lench Mob’s Guerillas In Tha Mist the following year. I Wish My Brother George Was Here set the stage for the success of other West Coast acts like The Pharcyde and helped Del to bring forward his crew of Hieroglyphics with Souls Of Mischief and Casual. I Wish My Brother George Was Here is a classic from the lead single “Mistadobalina” to the jazz sample cut of “The Wacky World of Rapid Transit”, to the trippy P-funk laced “Sunny Meadowz” and the hard-hitting “Hoodz Come In Dozens” with a touch of freestyle rap on The Meter’s sampled track “Same Ol’ Thing". Del delivers a no-skips funky light-hearted album that has stood the test of time.
Get On Down is proud to bring back this West Coast classic on vinyl. The album is pressed on “Day-Glo Washed” double-colored vinyl packaged with a fold-out album art cover poster and numbered OBI limited to 1000 copies.

DESCRIPTION
According to Disk Union / Think Records that just made a CD reissue of this record:
"Mysterious Acid Bossa Psychedelic Folk masterpiece recorded in 1971 and released in 1973 on a small Brazilian label. Recorded by students of the law school in São Paulo, under the influence of "Sgt. Pepper's" mixed with Bossa Nova. It's a chaotic yet delicate and sophisticated.
I can't imagine it being composed or recorded by amateur musicians that they were, except by Renato Mendes, who has been active as a first-class musician since the Jazz Bossa period and was a brazilian pioneer recording an album using a Moog synthesizer in 1974. It can be said that it greatly contributes to the miraculous perfection of this work.
Known among record collectors as a record that attracts not only Brazilian music fans but also Psychedelic and Acid Folk fans, the original version is a gem and sells for over USD1000."
One of the rarest and most enigmatic LPs in the Brazilian discography from the 1970s, Pra Quem Sabe das Coisas, released in 1973 by the label EBRAU (Editora Brasileira Artistas Unidos), finally has a refined reissue and its mysteries revealed, exactly half a century later, considering that it was recorded in 1971, but put in the market as a 12-inch record only two years later.
During a telephone chat packed with affectionate memories, Cau Pimentel (Cláudio Gama Pimentel), singer, songwriter and occasional guitarist with great sensibility and talent whose main professional activity involves criminal law, brought to the surface a story of passion for music that allowed great friendships to flourish, in the bubbling environment at the University of São Paulo’s Largo do São Francisco Law School, where he graduated as a lawyer. It was at the famous Coral da USP choir that the group gathered. The shared talent for music, by the way, explains the title “pra quem sabe das coisas” – for those who know the stuff. When the subject was popular music, Cau, Marcão, Benê, Bi, Vera, Eulália e Liliana were unquestionable amongst their peers.
Over two years, between 1969 and 1971, the group of instrumentalists and singers develop the repertoire recorded on the LP. They also have a crucial support: the polished assistance of Renato Mendes (1939 – 2013), Cau Pimentel’s cousin and one of the most celebrated organ players in the country, established in samba-jazz albums such as Renato Mendes & Seu Orgão (Mocambo, 1963) and Orgão de Vanguarda (Chantecler, 1965).
Gathered by Cau, the tracklist of Pra Quem Sabe Das Coisas remains, 50 years later, impactful and hard to label. The vocal harmonies, the sophistication of the arrangements and the existential density of the lyrics produce an atmosphere of rare beauty and unusual perception of aesthetic unity, as this is a collective record. A curiosity that might explain the difficulty in finding original copies of the LP: a significant share of the batch of 500 unities, which was paid by the XI de Agosto Students Union, was distributed amongst relatives of the artists and students at São Francisco law school.
Below, Cau Pimentel reveals other mysteries of this small treasure of Brazil’s best popular music.

DESCRIPTION
It is rather fascinating Jocy de Oliveira's journey as a creative and sensitive inhabitant of our planet. She is a masterful composer, interpreter, multimedia artist, and storyteller. Her pieces are influenced by the avant-garde of the 20th century and all cultures and languages on Earth, emphasizing the importance of feminism, science, and the environment.
Jocy started composing at the age of six and was introduced to piano studies at a very young age by her mother who was a poet and pianist.
Her talent and dedication brought her to work alongside eminent 20th-century music masters such as Igor Stravinsky, Oliver Messaien, Luciano Berio, Claudio Santoro, John Cage, Xenaxis and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
This became a vital experience in her artistic life and she performed world premieres of works by many of these great composers.
Jocy witnessed and experienced the rupture of several paradigms of Western music. She incorporated serialism and electroacoustics, dialogued with ritualistic music and indeterminacy that boomed in the revolutionary 1960s. Along this path, joining her fascination with theatricality and the desire to tell stories, she immersed herself and subverted the language of traditional opera, following her heart and her instincts over nine operatic pieces.
This album is dedicated to a production that goes from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. That was a very troubled period in the artist's life in the face of the significant loss of her father, followed by health problems, accidents, and staying away from her main instrument, the piano. She chose to give up her pianist career and intensify her authorial production. She explored the multiple possibilities of multimedia and multidisciplinary language, composing and presenting, among other pieces, two "magical operas" of great relevance, from which we selected pieces and extracts to be part of this album.
Fata Morgana (1987) is an electroacoustic opera that elaborates the imaginary and mythologies linked to the feminine sacred, associated with the cosmology of contemporary physics. The show features a collection of dream memories and images, giving emphasis to ritualistic gestures.
“Inori – to the sacred prostitute” (1993) also rescues matriarchal values based on the diversity of languages, cultures, races, beliefs, and religions. The lunar set celebrates the mysteries of the unconscious through a language open to fate and experimentation.
On side A, “Oniric” from the opera Fata Morgana (1987) presents electronic music performed in real-time along with voice. It’s interesting to note the presence of electronics in real-time unifying the album’s concept.
Jocy uses a Yamaha TX and DX7 synthesizer, instruments that permeate all selected parts.
The following pieces are two ragas : “Telling of a raga” from the same opera, and on side B “Raga in the Amazon ” plus “Solaris”, segments from the opera “Inori – to the sacred prostitute”.
All tracks are unreleased on vinyl. During a conversation , Jocy told me: “Raga is used by me in the sense of emotion, color, not exactly as musical modes in Indian music, although there is a search for the universe energy and human being integration. This was very much what I felt when I heard Carnatic music in India. There is dignity and respect there which make us feel an integration with the cosmos.”
As a curator, another of my focuses for this album is experimentation that confronts the limits between composition and indeterminacy. Speaking about Stockhausen in her book “Dialogue with letters” (SESI-SP, 2014) she says: “Mantra for two pianos by Stockhausen is one of his works that most fascinates me for certain qualities that sounds like improvisation and, are strictly determined. A challenge for pianists.” Jocy brings much of that focus to her Ragas.
The first title for this release was “Extratos Oníricos”, but during production, the composer sent us the following message: “I was thinking about the project of LP from the ‘80s and I believe the best title could be “Raga na Amazônia.”
I think the title would be more up-to-date, although I presented many concerts and events in the 70s and 80s focusing environmental questions, we still need to continue fighting for Amazon.”
About experimental music, in her same book, Jocy clarifies that "John Cage said that the word experimental should not describe an act in terms of future judgment, as to its success or failure, but should be applied to an act whose result is unknown"
During an interview at “Dialogue with composers” project, organized by the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB) in December 2020, Jocy spoke about the importance of music in her life: "I don't think of music as a career, but as a destiny. I express myself through music because this is my way of manifesting myself. It is my voice, my cry, my groan. ”

DESCRIPTION
1985 was one of the most important years in Brazil's recent history, when the country was freed from more than 20 years of military dictatorship. The youth took the lead and finally Brazil entered the world show business circuit with Rock In Rio festival. But the real revolution was happening in the underground and this record is a proof of that.
One of the people in charge was the musician, composer, poet, writer, scriptwriter and speaker from Rio de Janeiro Ronaldo Tapajós, who was always involved with experimental and avant-garde music. His trajectory begins in the mythical 1968, when, as part of the the duo Rô and Carlinhos, he released an emblematic single containing the song “O Gigante” - perhaps the first Brazilian bad trip recorded on vinyl and a shrewd criticism of the society's “square” habits.

Cinema was an experimental and avant-garde piece released in early 1985. In many ways it’s an example of the new Brazil that was reborning after 21 years of darkness under Military Dictatorship. Musically, it was a pioneer album for Brazilian music, mixing acoustic and synthetic sounds.
This rare adventure in Brazilian music was released independently in 1985, financed by the artists themselves. The original small press sold-out, belonging now to record collectors around the planet. For the first time Cinema is re-released on vinyl, with two extra and unreleased tracks found after decades.
Remastered from the original tapes, this reissue includes reproduction of the original graphic art, new testimonials from the four members of the project and a long article signed by Bento Araujo, author of the book series Lindo Sonho Delirante, which investigates audacious and fearless music created in the Brazilian underground.
According to Cinema’s LP press release: “in the era of visual music, Cinema is sound”. In terms of sound, listening to this album feels like diving into an intriguing anguish of trying to understand how the relationship between technology available at that time (1983-1984) and the more organic instruments happened, this duality between synthesizers/effects with percussion, woodwind instruments, piano and clarinet. In other words: how was the coexistence between the synthetic and the acoustic? This paradox seems to seduce collectors, DJs and enthusiasts of Brazilian music from the 80's around the world.
This fictional soundtrack has a dark mood, as if a fog of dark and ambient music insisted on staying on top of cheerful patterns of Afro-Brazilian percussion, or conceptual synth pop.

DESCRIPTION
Brazilian underground music in the 1980s produced fascinating and mysterious records, where organic and regional percussion finally gained electronic and synthetic nuances. Songs were processed electronically and acted in harmony with drumming and dissonant guitar interventions. This was a too bold recipe to be understood in Brazil at that time, dominated by pop music and the first signs of lambada fever and country music.
Despite being an ideal time for independent production, the music contained in Caracol was so anti-commercial that things seemed to happen in a parallel universe for the duo João de Bruçó and R.H. Jackson.
Caracol is one of the first examples of fusion between Brazilian percussive music and electronics. Synthesizers, samplers and sequencers were still a novelty in Brazil in the 1980s, but João de Bruçó and R.H. Jackson created an avant-garde masterpiece.
Using popular references and an eagerness to escape any retro / stylistic cliché that came to haunt Brazilian youth music at that time, they plunged into an audacious, intuitive and improbable sound journey in Caracol.
João de Bruçó started out as a drummer, playing from jazz to forró. Then he studied Brazilian folklore, worked in circuses and wrote tracks for theater, dance performances and TV. Studying percussion and the relationship between dance and music, he discovered new instruments and possibilities. R.H. Jackson also started out as a drummer and percussionist. He studied cinema, video and electronic composition. He also created soundtracks and researched Brazilian folk dances and candomblé. Jack was already an avid user of several technological innovations and was one of the few in Brazil in the 1980s who dominated computer programming, samplers and sequencers.
Caracol was recorded between 1988 and 1989. João was responsible for the percussion, accordion and a series of objects, such as a copper vase with water, seeds, animal hooves, snorers, springs, bells, marbles and a metal mug, plus piano and a toy clarinet. Jack took care of electronic programming, samplers, sound treatments, synthesizers, subtractions and guitars. Both were in charge of vocals.
This rare adventure of Brazilian music was released independently in 1989, financed by the artists themselves.
The original small pressing sold-out, belonging now to record collectors around the planet. For the first time Caracol is re-released on vinyl, with two extra tracks found after decades!
Remastered from the original tapes, this reissue includes a reproduction of the original graphic art, new testimonies from Alex Antunes (from Akira S. & as Garotas que Erraram), João de Bruçó and RH Jackson and a long article signed by Bento Araujo, author of the book series Lindo Sonho Delirante, which investigates audacious and fearless music created in the Brazilian underground.
“What draws most attention in Caracol is the choice of intuition as a creative and compositional process. Despite the sound and timbristic result being marked by a lot of simplicity, at the same time it oozes multiplicity. The voices, processed electronically, merge with a drumming of surdos, repiniques and the dissonant interventions of a guitar. The vocals are onomatopoeic and modal, like a kind of indigenous tribal ritual. Whoever wants to classify the album will have difficulties. In many moments, the choices and sounds are so primitive, that one could hardly think of it as avant-garde. But those who put pre-concepts aside - and use only their ears and musical sensitivity - will be delighted ”

DESCRIPTION
What it is, is funky! When the acid jazz scene ruled the world it looked for its inspiration in places that other jazz fans tended to overlook. The soul jazz of the late 60s and early 70s. The music of lounge bars and small clubs that fuelled the night life of black America. This compilation brings together ten examples of the sound and is a high quality listen from start to finish.
In the post-bebop world jazz was often condemned as an intellectual music aimed at the head not the feet, but a strain of the music was always for dancing, coming straight from the legacy of the big bands, and always tipping its head to what was going on in the R&B charts. The tracks included here all stay true to that legacy.
So whether we have Lonnie Liston Smith’s plea for 'Peace & Love' with its Bob Marley echoing horn lines, or Joe Bataan as band leader covering Isaac Hayes' 'Theme From the Men', this is music allied with the contemporary sounds of the day. Oliver Nelson's synth heavy 'Skull Session' or his TV hit 'Theme From The Six Million Dollar Man' covered by Richard ‘Groove’ Holmes show this. At the heart of these recordings are the rhythms − and as such Bernard Purdie is the star either as a solo artist or simply as the man behind the kit with Harold Alexander.
This is Funky Jazz is an entry ticket to a party that everyone should want to be invited to.

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.

DESCRIPTION
At the start of the 60s, a new wave of gospel-influenced jazz started to emerge, with hits such as Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' "Moanin'" and Cannonball Adderley's "Work Song" epitomizing this evolution in the genre. The terms "soul jazz" and "funky jazz" were coined as a way to describe this new sound that was making an impact in the US and also on the other sides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

In 1964, Ray Charles made his first visit to Japan. Then, in 1968, Martha & The Vandellas and Stevie Wonder set foot in the country, followed by Sam & Dave in 1969, Ike & Tina Turner in 1970, and B.B. King in 1971. The TV show "Soul Train" also began airing in Japan in the early 1970s. A watershed moment happened in 1973 when Sammy Davis Jr. was cast in a TV commercial for Suntory whisky — and the influence of the US Black entertainment world had really landed, with soul, jazz, and funk artists becoming household names.

Nippon Columbia played a pivotal role during this turning point. The company had contracts with Buddah Records and Blue Thumb Records, releasing notable works by artists such as Gladys Knight & The Pips, Curtis Mayfield, The Crusaders, and The Pointer Sisters. At the same time, the label was also releasing several Japanese soul, jazz, and funk projects under the lead of music director Jiro Inagaki. Inagaki, a saxophonist who began his professional career in the early 1950s, honed his skills at U.S. military camps, where he shared his love of music with the Black servicemen. In the 1960s, he played with drummer Hideo Shiraki's band, which was widely considered to be Japan's representative group of the funky jazz movement. Later, Inagaki went on to pursue more cutting-edge sounds with his Soul Media project, including being a pioneering figure in the "jazz rock" genre. By working closely with Inagaki and his various musical projects, Nippon Columbia really placed the company at the center of an exciting and important period in Japanese music.

In 1965, Nippon Columbia opened a recording studio in Tokyo's Akasaka neighborhood. Akasaka was also home to the first ever discotheque in Japan, the legendary MUGEN, which ran from 1968 to 1987 and where many acts performed, including Con Funk Shun, the Bar-Kays, Ike & Tina Turner, B.B. King, Sam & Dave, Three Degrees, and Edwin Starr, as well as many local Japanese singers and musicians. This melting pot of creativity in the area led to the recording of many singles and albums by Japanese artists that were infused with the sounds of soul and funk. Most of these recordings were not available outside of Japan and remain rare and unknown musical gems. The selection you are holding in your hands is an explosive collection of 10 essential tracks released by the legendary Nippon Columbia label between 1969 and 1977, capturing the raw, unapparelled energy that was flowing through the air of the Akasaka streets at this electrifying time. Enjoy!

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.

DESCRIPTION
Starting in the late 60s, jazz music started to take an interesting, and very soulful turn. Influenced by the funk of the day – from James Brown to Sly & The Family Stone – the art form, generally not considered a funky musical genre, started to stretch out and fit into the times. It was a fertile era, and to reciprocate, funk, soul and groovy rock fans started to discover accomplished, open-minded jazz artists like
Les McCann, whose tunes made sense to their ears, even if bebop hadn’t grabbed them.
This incredible album – long a favorite of forward-thinking hip-hop producers and DJs – washes over listeners from the first chords of the incredible album opener, “Sometimes I Cry,” led by McCann’s array of analog synthesizers and backed by an excellent rhythm section (Donald Dean on drums; Ralph McDonald on percussion and Jimmy Rowser on bass).
Truth be told, highlights are hard to pick out, but fans never go long without returning to the fuzzed-out funk of “The Harlem Buck Strut Dance,” “Let’s Play (Til Mom Calls)” and “It Never Stopped In My Home- town.” These keyboard-drenched grooves sat alongside record stacks brimming with Stevie Wonder, Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye’s 70s soul and, of course, Miles Davis’ space funk
experiments of the era (like Bitches Brew).
