The Liberators - The Liberators (2011)http://www.mediafire.com/?m9cnh2m02y8pn0iRecord Kicks come through with a big release here in the shape of The Liberators who bring some serious afro-funk heat on their debut album The Liberators. I’m not quite sure who did the production on this but they’ve got down a pretty heavyweight sound. Consequently there’s a lot of rumble in the Liberators’ jungle – less ‘Shaft In Africa’ than ‘Shaft-right-here-in the-room-with-you. And that’s pretty much where the sound is at – full retro, Shaft-era blaxploitation instros augmented occasionally by guest vocals from ‘Foxy’ Roxie Ray, ‘Big’ Jojo Kuo and Afro ‘The Daddy’ Moses. Not ones to let pass an opportunity to promote their homage to the seventies, the band have also commissioned an epic blaxploitation style video. Clearly intended to out-‘Sabotage’ the Beastie Boys it contains every seventies cliché you can imagine and some that you’d forgotten about including fake taches, big afros, loose women, cheesy dialogue, head shots caused by a Magnum revolver and a really quite alarmingly snug pair of swim shorts. So epic is the video, in fact, that I wouldn’t be expecting anything else out of the Record Kicks stable for the rest of the year since it looks like they blew their 2011 budget on it. Check it below player. If you’re at all down with Big Pimp Jones, the Budos Band or Antibalas, this is one for you – no jive. Honky. I still reckon the band jacked the hook on Rags To Riches off The Look Of Love by eighties new romantic casualties ABC though…Full press guff below..

Black Is Soul – Pama Singles Collection Vol 1http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4A5DZM5PFantastic funky soul! The Pama label was a London-based operation in the late 60s – and they cut and licensed some very groovy tracks that mixed funk, soul, and rocksteady, and which featured artists from America, Jamaica, and England! This first volume of the label\'s output features one of their best-known (and heavily-sampled) tunes, the breakbeat classic "The Champ" by The Mohawks! Other great cuts include "Broadway Ain\'t Funky No More" by Bobby Patterson & The Mustangs, "Jerking The Dog" by The Crowns, "Baby Hold On" by The Mustangs, "Oh Babe" by The Milwaukee Coasters, "Wet Dream" by Max Romeo, "Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday" by Roy Docker, "Honey Bee" by The Classics, and "Soul Man" by Rico. Very nice, and done with a faithful reproduction of the original cover, too!
