Let's Get Serious

Official reissue of this incredible 1979 LP by the Nigerian funk titan. Harry Mosco is best known as the leader of the Afro/Funk band The Funkees, which started as an Army band responding to the Nigerian Civil War with upbeat music but has since grown to global acclaim and deep hip-hop sampling. Since his passing in 2012, Isle Of Jura Records worked closely with his son to reach back 40 years for this undiscovered gem of Disco, Funk, Boogie, Soul and Dub. Essential reissue!

Kalita Records (once again!) prevail with this 1976 LP from South Carolina-based Gospel/Soul/Disco outfit Al Dos Band. Most importantly, it holds the title track, which is a truly holy-grail gospel soul single that fetches insane money for original copies. Of the nine tracks, a whopping seven are entirely unreleased, downright funky and danceable gospel bangers. Reissued from the analogue master rapes and released under the supervision of the bands founding members, this incredible release also features archival images and deep conversational liner notes. Far out!

CRAZY in-demand 2nd release by Mad Honey, performed and recorded live to tape. Sounds like if all your favourite 70s + 80s soul/funk artists got in a room together and hit record... think Leroy Burgess production with a Brit-Funk tip. Funky, free-flowing live jams with all the best solos you could want. So in demand, they got straight in the studio to start on an album. The label Space Grapes is an independent and artist-run label by Bobby van Putten and Danilo Plessow (MCDE), focusing on the best in contemporary live music. Hell yeah!
