Prime Choice
Calvin “Popcorn” Ward put out just one album and a couple of EPs during the height of his musical career, which were held in particularly high esteem by Soul and Funk afficianados in Europe, less so in the states where his work generally remained canned, a few singles and a coverless version of Prime Choice appearing in very limited quantity. His only other notable musical appearance from the time was a vocal cameo for the disco group Passion on their self titled album on Prelude, appearing on t…

De Fabriek
*200 copies limited edition* "Sometimes a beautiful score is handed to you on a silver platter, as was the case with De Fabriek (English: The Factory), a tv show that ran from 1981 to 1982 in the Netherlands. Back then I was just a small child and did not know much about the series, but, if I remember correctly, I was told at the time that the music was pretty good. The music was composed by Ruud Bos, who has written a lot of music for Dutch media in the ‘70s and ‘80s. If you are Dutch and have …

Dreams For Sax (LP)
Another gem from the extensive Flipper Music catalog, more precisely from their Flower sublabel, "Dreams For Sax" is possibly one of the most stand-out productions from their studio ensemble Gruppo Sound, this time around featuring saxophonist Paolo Russo with keyboardists Stefano Galante and Vittorio Quattrini. First released in 1987, the songs recorded for "Dreams For Sax" are a beautiful melange of easy-listening electronic and jazzy vibes, from mellow tunes such as "Dawning" and "First Class…
HITS (12")
A possible draft of a new public service, the HITS recording studio welcomed, with or without an appointment, five days a week and eight hours a day, anyone who wished to participate in the elaboration and recording of songs, without distinction of style or musical level. The artist Simon Ripoll-Hurier thus gathered a group of people coming from rap, experimental music, poetry, to produce "hits". HITS has become a radio creation that retraces this experience, draws a portrait of contemporary sub…

At the beginning of the year, the first vinyl from the series of releases…
Nippon Girls 2: Japanese Pop, Beat & Rock'n'Roll 1966-1970
* 180g vinyl and packaged in heavy-duty sleeves * There was a time not so long ago when credibility in pop and rock music came only from success within the American or British marketplace. No matter how accomplished they might be, foreign acts and their attendant music scenes were frequently viewed with condescension, and anything not sung in English deemed a novelty. As the development of rock in other countries during its first two decades comes increasingly into focus, such cultural imperiali…

Funky Ghost 1975-1987
French multi-instrumentalist Teddy Lasry's story is noteworthy not just in regards to the music he released, but in the ways that he approached the craft of composing and experimenting with sounds and sonics.
Always intrigued with the capabilities of instruments, their groove and their feel, it was very much his family’s influence that helped to fuel these lifelong affections. As a performer in a Parisian cabaret, Teddy’s father Jacques would mingle with giants like Serge Gainsbourg and Charlie …
