Only familiar with 'Do It Fluid'.
Gotta check out the other cuts, thanks pill

The B-Byrds tunes were the soundtrack for many of my summers.
Whenever I hear any B-Byrds songs a flood gate opens and great memories pour out.

to chill to.

Rock Creek Park is my shit!

"Do It Fluid" is some straight up nasty, stank, sweaty, dirty booty FUNK.

I swear you guys must be working in a wreckastow!, I just bought two of their LPS

Which albums did you get?

Several months ago,I bought this:


Two of their best albums,'City Life' (1975) and 'Unfinished Business' (1976) on one CD.In the liner notes,they don't seem too thrilled with 'Unfinished Business' but I think it's a superb album.The song "Enter In" is smooth,mid-70s funk at it's best.That's an intoxicating groove!!

today's R&B artists could never come up with something like that

SoulAlive said:

I've seen a couple of this two-in-one sets of theirs floating around while on vinyl digs, but I never bothered getting them (... mostly probably cause I've been digging for vinyl, not CDs ).
Anyways, I'm gonna go hunt for some of that stuff today. Those clips were smokin'!

SoulAlive said:

Love 'Do It Fluid' (the only cut I was familiar with), loved 'Walking In Rhythm' and the other clips too. Loved 'Mystervious Vibes' from the Action album
So yea, I think I'mma dig them boys

Oh, I'm listening to this right now...


Check it out, this is some cool shit

I'm back from my little shopping trip.
Here's what I picked up

City Life/Unfinished Business


Action/Better Days



aaaand

Unfinished Business (LP)

Don't waste any time.Go straight to the 'Unfinished Business' album and play the third track "Enter In".Would like to know your opinion of this song

FuNkeNsteiN said:

This is the one I'm looking for but they never seem to have it at my local record store I guess I'll have to order it on-line.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

The Blackbyrds with the Van Gogh looking like cover and City Life!
Oh yeah

SoulAlive said:

I'm gonna check it out at some point and let you know. I was just listening to another LP I picked up at random, Watching You, Watching Me by Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign. Apparently it's semi-rare too. Incredible stuff!
The first cut on side one 69 Cents is just... whoa

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I think that Sun was inspired by The Blackbyrds.Their 1979 hit "Radiation Level" sounds very similiar to "Enter In",imo.

SoulAlive said:

Have you already gotten a copy of Destination: Sun?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

SoulAlive said:

Whatchu think?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

So far,I only played it once but I like what I heard

SoulAlive said:

I listened to the cut you wanted me to listen to. Diggin' it
Cool bassline
You are right, it has that kind of Sun vibe to it. Might be that Sun listened to the Blackbyrds

FuNkeNsteiN said:[quote]

that synth line is mesmerizing the bass,the laid back vocals...I dig that tune!!

man oh man they put out some lp's.

I went Christmas shopping over the weekend and I finally found the twofer that contains the first two albums ('The Blackbyrds' and 'Flying Start') on one disc.I almost jumped for joy.The other people in the record store probably thought I was crazy,lol.
