DESCRIPTION
The wonderfully favourable response to our first CD and double vinyl volume of the original A and B sides of the singles of the late great Isaac Hayes – as originally released on Stax’ Enterprise subsidiary between 1969 and 1972 – has forced us to bring forward, this month, the release of “Hot Buttered Singles 2” to cater for what Ace is sure will be just as great a level of popular demand.
This volume picks up where “Hot Buttered Singles Vol 1” left off with Hayes’ final 45 of 1972, and carries his seven inch story through to 1976 – by which time Stax was defunct, and Hayes’ was on his own Hot Buttered Soul label via ABC Records. It features eight US R&B chart hits including the much sampled ‘Hung Up On My Baby’ and ‘Chocolate Chip’, Hayes’ biggest hit of this period ‘Joy’ and the ever-popular 1976 instrumental ‘Disco Connection’, which finally gave Hayes’ his second UK Top 20 hit after ‘Shaft’.
All tracks match the original single edits, and wherever possible are taken from digital transfers of the original Enterprise singles masters. Where the original 45s came in two parts, they also do so here. And where original singles masters no longer exist, as was the case for two tracks, Ace’s engineers have re-created them beat for beat from the longer album versions. (Have fun guessing which two they were…)
As with “Hot Buttered Singles Vol 1”, the LP inners and CD booklet are packed with label shots, copious other images and an extensive sleeve note that gives deep detail about the featured songs. It also makes the package look as good as it sounds.

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.

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

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.

DESCRIPTION
Gerson King Combo's 1977 album is a masterpiece of Brazilian soul, emerged within the Black Rio movement, which was recorded with União Black as the backing band.
It features the kind of full-on funky sound you'd only expect to hear from a rare few American groups of the time. Its ten songs mix political statements, which primarily address issues of racial pride, and dancefloor-oriented music. The album has achieved cult status over the years, becoming one of the most sought-after Brazilian funk records of all times.
Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. This release is part of a new reissue series that will include many other outstanding Brazilian classics.
El álbum de 1977 de Gerson King Combo es una obra maestra de soul brasileño, surgido dentro del movimiento Black Rio, que fue grabado con União Black como banda de acompañamiento.
Su sonido es de un estilo totalmente funky del que solo se esperaría de ciertos artistas norteamericanos de la época. Diez temas que fusionan el discurso político y de orgullo racial con la música hecha para bailar.
El paso del tiempo lo ha convertido en uno de los discos de funk brasileño más buscados por coleccionistas.
Remasterizado de las cintas originales y prensado en vinilo de 180gr. Este lanzamiento forma parte de una nueva serie de reediciones que incluirá también muchos otros clásicos brasileños sobresalientes.
