Superb Latin funk and rock- tinged soul from 1972 by Miamis Coke. Originally released on Sound Triangle Records. Includes the sensational Na Na, recently featured on the soundtrack to the Netflix drama Griselda, the jazz- rock Got To Touch Your Face and a range of other gems. Its a heavy hit of Miami Latin-funk, dosed up with psychedelic garage rock and gritty soul excellence, making for an intoxicating blend of styles and genres on this highly sought-after LP. Predominately sung in English, Cokes only album under this moniker is a sumptuous melting pot of influences, tied together with bright funk drumming, flavourful organs and zesty horns. With a garage band attitude and sensibility, the lineup consisted of Paul Garcia on guitar, Ariel Hernandez on bass, Ruben Perez on drums, Jose Rubio on the keys, a host of guest horn players and Peter Fernandez on vocals, whose tone and delivery was often mistaken for that of a woman. Produced by Mato, the record and band were well-received in Miami and Southern Florida at the time. Due to a lack of promotion outside of Florida and the threat of a lawsuit from the Coca- Cola corporation for usage of their name, the band fell into relative obscurity, becoming Opus following the dispute. They say the cream always rises to the top though, with Coke being rediscovered by diggers and collectors searching for a rare groove. One of the standout cuts on the album Na Na was recently featured on the soundtrack to the Netflix drama Griselda (a biopic of Miami\/ Cuban crime boss Griselda Blanco). Other highlights include the crooner- jazz-rock Got to Touch Your Face, the psych ballad You Turn Me On with a guitar line reminiscent of The Doors, and the Latin-rock groover, Te Amo Mas. Coke is a sensational crossover record, that draws from a sea of different influences. Fans of early Santana, garage-pysch, Nu Yorican and Latin-funk productions should all investigate this cherished album - it will have something for you. Tracks: 1. Na Na 2. You Turn Me On 3.

CD housed in a digipak and featuring expanded booklet. Expanded vinyl edition featuring gatefold jacket and booklet including rare photos and lyrics. Vinyl plated at RTI. Betty Davis was a musical maverick with vision. Image, substance, sex, and grit combined with a badass band that could deliver the funk bed backbone to the sultry music between the sheets. After cutting two notorious discs for the Just Sunshine label (Betty Davis and They Say I’m Different), and Nasty Gal for Island Records, Davis went to work on her most personal and expressive record yet. After capturing 10 hard-hitting tracks in 1976 at the remote Studio In The Country (Louisiana), a creative difference with her then label caused the platter to be unexpectedly shelved. Davis would cut one final album and soon retreat from the music business, completely disappearing from the public eye. Is It Love Or Desire is a little-known gem in the Davis catalog. Mastered from the original tapes, and untouched for over 30 years, this release features detailed liner notes, the originally intended artwork housed in a lavishly packaged digipak, rare photos, archival material, and recent interviews with Davis and her skin-tight band Funk House. Never bootlegged, never released, never heard until now, the secret story of this lost album will finally enter the history books and cement this bold soul sisters contributions to music and popular culture.

In it, he writes through Hillaryville’s contradictions: the pristine beauty and the ragged roads; his teenage desire to leave and his adult desire to honor his tangled roots; the plantation history and the ups and downs of the Black community that made homes of this reparation town. “Hometowns have a way of keeping a part of you,” says Jones, “and if I’m making something young-me would be proud of, Hillaryville is a big part of that.” Jones finds something transformative in his memories there and the life he has led since, ultimately claiming and embracing his whole self. The result is vulnerable, personal, touching on Jones’s relationship to church life, to his mother, to his queerness, to his worth. “I wish I could tell my younger self ‘you don’t have to stick to the dreams people have for you,’” says Jones, “’you can dream bigger. You are more than capable, you are more than able.

It’s the personification of that unspoken chemistry you have with that person.

Born Ray Charles Robinson on September 23, 1930, in Albany, Georgia (he died on June 10, 2004 in Beverly Hills, California), Ray Charles has been described by many writers as the “father of Soul Music”. His early years were full of tragedies. He was born into extreme poverty and slowly blinded by glaucoma until, at the age of six, he lost his sight completely. Before going blind, he had to cope with the death of his brother, who he watched drown in a water tub. Ray studied composition and learned several instruments at the St. Augustine School for the Deaf and the Blind. His mother Aretha died when Ray was 15, and he was brought up by Mary Jane (the first wife of Ray’s absent father). Ray worked as a musician in Florida for a while before using his savings to move to Seattle in 1947. There he continued his career, playing piano at several nightclubs. Ray made his first recordings in 1947 and over the following years his career was in a continuous state of evolution. A crossover of many different sources, mostly blues, jazz, gospel and soul, Ray Charles developed a unique style, and his personal touch became evident in all the different projects he undertook. Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music. Late in 1954, Charles recorded his own composition “I Got a Woman”. It became one of his most notable hits, reaching number one on the R\u0026amp;B chart. “I Got a Woman” included a mixture of gospel, jazz and blues elements that would later prove to be seminal in the development of rock and roll and soul music. In 1955, he had a hit with “A Fool for You”. In upcoming years, he scored with “I’ll Drown in My Own Tears” and “Hallelujah, I Love Her So”. By 1959, Charles reached the Billboard Top Ten with “What’d I Say”, which made him a major figure in R\u0026amp;B. Charles reached the pinnacle of his success at Atlantic with the release of “What’d I Say”, a complex song that combined gospel, jazz, blues and Latin music, which Charles would later claim he had composed spontaneously as he was performing in clubs and dances with his small band. Despite some radio stations banning the song because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, it became Charles’ first ever crossover top ten pop record. Later in 1959, he released his first country song (a cover of Hank Snow’s “I’m Movin’ On”), as well as recording three more albums for the label: a jazz record (later released in 1961 as The Genius After Hours); a blues record (released in 1961 as The Genius Sings the Blues); and a traditional pop\/big band record (The Genius of Ray Charles). The Genius of Ray Charles provided his first top 40 album entry, where it peaked at No. 17, and was later held as a landmark record in Charles’ career. “It’s easy, in retrospect,” explains jazz critic Steve Leggett, “to map out Ray Charles’ journey to musical icon status – his one-of-a-kind talent became more evident each step of the way as he moved from Swing Time Records to Atlantic Records, and then on to ABC Records. Charles’ first recording sessions from the late ‘40s and very early ‘50s featured an artist heavily influenced by Nat King Cole and Charles Brown and working in a pronounced pop direction. Charles recorded for several small West Coast labels during this time, but most notably for Jack Lauderdale’s Swing Time Records. It wasn’t until Lauderdale sold Charles’ contract to Atlantic Records (for a mere $2,000) in 1952 that Charles began the legendary fusion of R\u0026amp;B and gospel that led to hits like ‘What’d I Say’ and ‘I’ve Got a Woman’ that single-handedly created what became known as soul. Charles hit his stride at Atlantic, creating the signature synthesis of R\u0026amp;B, gospel, blues, country, and jazz that made him one of the most important and influential figures in pop music history. When ABC-Paramount offered him more creative freedom, ownership of his master recordings after five years, and his own label imprint, Tangerine Records (which Charles used to record some of his personal R\u0026amp;B favorites, including Percy Mayfield, Louis Jordan, and Little Jimmy Scott), Charles left Atlantic and signed with ABC in 1960, remaining with the label through 1972, by which time he was firmly established as an American treasure and icon, thanks to his enduring versions of songs like ‘Georgia on My Mind,’ ‘Hit the Road Jack,’ and ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAXTIME","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":53204584038727,"sku":"TRI-41577","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/56b50d507bcfce2c5b626d464af45fe6.jpg?v=1769357440"},{"product_id":"thee-sacred-souls-got-a-story-to-tell","title":"Thee Sacred Souls - Got A Story To Tell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe highly anticipated follow-up to Thee Sacred Souls breakout 2022 self-titled debut, Got A Story To Tell, features 12 all original new songs, a soaring statement of exquisite craftsmanship from this young band from San Diego whose story grows bigger by the day.

Released on Bob Shad's Mainstream Records in 1972, it's a landmark album and one of the key political works of the 70s. Featuring an all-star cast of superb musicians including Elvin Jones, Stanley Clarke, Airto, Cecil Bridgewater and Marvin 'Hannibal' Peterson, it is also Dee Dee Bridgewater's earliest full recordings. This special edition includes a 20-page booklet featuring amazing unseen session photos recently unearthed, an introduction by Judd and Mia Apatow (Shad's grandchildren), an essay by British journalist Kevin Le Gendre and an exclusive interview of Cecil and Dee Dee Bridgewater by Paul Bowler. The album's original artwork as been recreated with original photos and the audio newly remastered from the original tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen he recorded \"The Loud Minority\" in 1972 for Bob Shad's Mainstream Records, Frank Foster had been a solid sax player for nearly twenty years, playing with the likes of Donald Byrd, Thelonious Monk and The Count Basie Orchestra. For this special session, he gathered a stellar line up of old fellow musicians like Elvin Jones and Harold Mabern and young turks including Stanley Clarke, 'Hannibal' Marvin Peterson, Cecil and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Cecil Bridgewater remembers: \"Frank, his thing was, any group that he had he wanted to give young musicians a chance.\" As usual for Mainstream sessions, the studio was booked for two days and the record was cut live, supervised by Bob Shad's trusted men, arranger Ernie Wilkins and engineer Carmine Rubino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat came out of these two days is now the stuff of legend, four long funky jams fuelled by two distinct line ups playing simultaneously augmented with a powerful 6-piece brass section led by Foster. The album kicks off with the anthemic \"The Loud Minority\" (sampled by United Future Organization and DJ Shadow) with its long brass introduction followed by Dee Dee Bridgewater fiery poem, a politically charged statement expressing the fight for civil rights, before the whole group comes together for a funky explosion clocking at 14 minutes. \"That was a period where we were really into our African consciousness\" reminisces Dee Dee in the interview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album continues with the funky uptempo \"Requiem for Dusty\" while \"J.P.'s Thing\" adopts a slightly more spiritual feel, with a beautiful Fender Rhodes solo and Foster's soprano sax improvisation. The album ends with \"E.W. Beautiful People\", a long dreamy improvisation climaxing with Dee Dee Bridgewater's poignant vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loud Minority is a key militant jazz manifesto and one of the landmark jazz funk albums of the 20th Century.

Before the funk, soul, disco (and much more) of his musical alter-ego took hold, Gibbons aspired to be a film composer, growing up on the scores of John Barry, John Williams, Thomas Newman and, more recently, David Holmes, Daniel Pemberton and Ludwig Göransson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The material I put out under my own name is designed to scratch the itch I’ve always had of writing music to picture,” says Gibbons. “A film composer was what I wanted to be – I was obsessed with it for a number of years. I actually thought the Lack of Afro material would be a side project or even a distraction. It ended up being the other way around.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere ‘The Last Bastion’ scored a film that has never existed, ‘Music For Motion Pictures’ takes a different route. It isn’t tied to any picture at all, but plays like one anyway - charting a real relationship track by track. “It’s a soundtrack to a period of time that happened in my life,” Gibbons explains. “It’s not a film – we didn’t record any visuals of what happened – but it’s a musical journal, an audio diary if you will. Each track relates to certain events that happened in \u0026amp; around a relationship I had.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for close to two decades as Lack of Afro — Adam Gibbons celebrated the final chapter of that part of his career with his biggest ever UK headline tour in November of last year. A multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, he built the project into one of UK funk and soul's defining names across multiple albums, singles and remixes amassing over 200 million streams and placements on networks including HBO, ABC, Sony Pictures, BBC, ITV, Sky and Warner Brothers, plus ad campaigns for Dyson, Google, Spotify, and Adidas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BASTION MUSIC GROUP","offers":[{"title":"Indies Coke Colour Vinyl Gatefold Sleeve","offer_id":55304695251271,"sku":"TRI-81107","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vinyl Gatefold Sleeve","offer_id":55304695284039,"sku":"TRI-81108","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55304695316807,"sku":"TRI-81109","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/REP_20261006_1220_112137_060_p_adam_gibbons_music_for_motion_pictures_1_001.jpg?v=1791287802"},{"product_id":"beans-on-toast-the-great-unraveling","title":"Beans On Toast - The Great Unraveling","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 album from longstanding folk troubadour Beans on Toast is his nineteenth studio album, The Great Unravelling.

Clinton—the original Prime Minister of Funkadelic and architect of the Mothership—steps into the role of high-priest and mentor, weaving spoken sermons, surreal cosmic parables, and psychedelic scatting through the sonic architecture. Jay Worthy serves as the anchor on the pavement, delivering his trademark deadpan, conversational delivery and cinematic vignettes of back-alley deals, late-night cruising, and vintage luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, the album is a widescreen feast.
