I dig this Coulter LP..

MrSoulpower said:

Nope. I've just heard it in its entirety a couple of times. I've seen it on sale online once, but I didn't bother with it, cause it's not on the top end of my "Albums To Get" list

Shango said:

Wow, what awesome records - especially the The Third Rail track, fantastic. Can you tell the title of that track please Shango?, thanks

FuNkeNsteiN said:

How much did it go for? The album is on my list, and it's a tough one. I've seen it for as much as $700.

Another track that a lot of people sleep on:

Heaven & Earth - I feel a Groove under my feet

And now let's get a little deeper .. one of the first deep Funk tracks that I heard and fell in love with was Gator Bait by the Gaturs. I first got it on a Funk compilation back in the early 90s ... of course it was a bootleg. And I was hooked immediately ... it took me years to dig up the original 45. The Gaturs were a a group from New Orleans, produced by Willie Tee. They never released an album, put put out a handfull of Funk 45s - this one's my favorite:

Brian Auger could've been picked for Happiness Is Just Around The Bend also.
Although The Main Ingredient's vocals are better.

StarMon said:

In the "Another Day"-soundclip, you can hear this weird bass-sound, especially during the solo-break. Both those bass-sound and solo-sound are examples of Clifford's "Coultron"-trademark.
That album has been reissued on quality vinyl, and it appeared briefly on cd by Japanese import.

funkymf said:

That track is called "Reachin' For It", which is also the title of the album. I've seen the lp appear sometimes on eBay, but the bids went quite high, lol : http://www.popsike.com/ph...&x=23&y=12

MrSoulpower said:

I don't recall exactly how much it went for, but I think it was something like 550-650$

Oh and, what did you think of the stuff I posted, Pari?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Dug it all and had little of it. I especially dug the Peace, Justice and Equality track. You know how I feel about that sweet 70s Soul sound. Keep 'em coming.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Sounds about right.

MrSoulpower said:

That track was a staple at the Paradise Garage

Timeless legend - I was born to love you
Another early 1980s modern Soul monster!!!

MrSoulpower said:

That's a very expensive 45.

I was about to buy their album (Synchronized) off of Ebay, but decided to think it over one more day, and in that time someone else went and bought it!



It contains the killer cuts "Love's Choice" and "You're The Best Thing"

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Yeah, the whole album is a winner.

Okay, since we're in recession, a track for for less money.

Barrett Strong - Be my girl
Barrett was a songwriter ar Motown but also recorded some great records on his own.

Odyssey - Our lives are shaped by what we love
Odyssey released some pretty stale and boring disco albums. But this track is of their debut album ... and it's deep ...

Now this is a track Funkenstein will love. It's by a group called Zingara, produced by Lamont Dozier. The album was released in 1981 and is pretty rare, but once in a while it pops up. I'll definitely play this track on the show tonight.

Zingara - Haunted House

MrSoulpower said:

Haven't heard this one before. Cool track.
Thanks for hipping me to it

MrSoulpower said:

I need to check out some of the other stuff the band did too, before I go spending 90$ on their album .

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I absolutely love that guy!

FuNkeNsteiN said:

The whole album is great. There's one weak track, that's it.
