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.

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.

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.

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":"various-artists-soul-music-the-first-five-decades","title":"Various Artists - Soul Music: The First Five Decades","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of breathtaking, soulful blues and spiritual music brings you some of the most impassioned, compelling vocal performances ever to be recorded.\u003cbr\u003eIn a comprehensive overview from 1927 to 1973, History of Soul Records’ 7CD anthology chronicles the genesis of soul music.\u003cbr\u003eThe first three CDs trace the early connections between R\u0026amp;B, jazz and blues, and gospel, between the secular and the sacred.\u003cbr\u003eThe remaining CDs continue the story from the 60s into the 70s, covering a large portion of soul music’s Golden Age with 100 tracks by soul’s greatest superstars, live on TV and radio.\u003cbr\u003eTwo 24-page booklets written by John Ridley and Nick Duckett set out the historical background and explain some of the technical features that make these beautiful songs the precursors of soul music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HISTORY OF SOUL","offers":[{"title":"BOXSET","offer_id":53204872397127,"sku":"TRI-54217","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Limited Edition Box Set","offer_id":53333683536199,"sku":"TRI-70430","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/985e2c4c7f516c9db671182bec060252.jpg?v=1770996836"},{"product_id":"bridges-leon-gold-diggers-sound","title":"Bridges,Leon - Gold-Diggers Sound","description":"","brand":"Tower Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53205368832327,"sku":"TRI-60917","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/e7af22eb1dbc47757ceea05388d4e594.jpg?v=1769362306"},{"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.

Album opener “Lucid Girl” champions independent women, set to some of the toughest sounding drums and bass the band has yet to put to tape. “Waiting On The Right Time” slinks with a touch of slow-burning psychedelia. A plea for empathy punctuates “One and the Same,” with Lane singing: “We’re one and the same, I feel one day \/ We learn to live with each other \/ In love, not fear \/ Just for a moment, why can’t we be together.” “On My Mind” is a sweeping orchestration, with Lane navigating the complexities of finding happiness while balancing the good with the bad. The album is punctuated with strings and squelching guitar, trundling piano, pops of conga, horns - it makes for a thrilling, layered listen that rewards with multiple spins.

Psychedelic Shack","description":"Throughout an artist’s career, there are turning points that serve as historic markers in their story.For The Temptations, one of those moments came in 1970 with the release of their twelfth studio album, Psychedelic Shack.Coming at a time when Soul music was becoming more experimental, you had less confirmed song structures, mixtures of different elements such as Funk and Rock, and outside-the-box approaches to production.In a style popularly known as Psychedelic Soul, major players included Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament-Funadelic, and, of course, The Temptations.Looking deeper inside, The Temptations’ descent into exploration began a year early back in 1969 with the release of Cloud Nine and Puzzle People.Two exceptional records, songs like “Cloud Nine,” “Runaway Child, Running Wild,” “Don’t Let The Joneses Get You Down,” and “Message From A Black Man,” indicated that changes were happening.With a new image and sound in tow, The Temptations truly pushed it to new limits with Psychedelic Shack.Boldly taking steps forward with an open mind, you might think that Psychedelic Shack ran the risk of losing audiences by coloring too far outside the lines, but instead, it connected in a big way, reaching number nine on the Billboard 200 and number one on R\u0026amp;B Charts.Led by the title track “Psychedelic Shack,” the sonic feel of the record was set in place by long-time collaborators Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong, while Whitfield handled the production.A vital part of this album and the overall era of The Temptations, while Psychedelic Shack sounds sensational, does not mean there were no issues going on behind the scenes.Well documented, Vocalist Paul Williams was declining rapidly due to sickle-cell disease, plus First Tenor Eddie Kendricks was growing frustrated with their lack of creative control with the music.Sadly, it was a matter of time before Kendricks would leave in 1971 after the recording sessions for Sky’s The Limit.While Kendrick would go on to have a successful solo career, some would say that Psychedelic Shack marked the beginning of the end for the classic Temptations lineup featuring him, Dennis Edwards, Paul Williams (who tragically died in 1973), Melvin Franklin, and Otis Williams.These are all parts of what make Psychedelic Shack a significant part of The Temptations’ history.Originally released in March 1970, it included eight songs, and they really dived all over the sonic spectrum.These tracks included the groove namesake cut but also “You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth,” the fantastic “Hum Along and Dance,” and the lively “Friendship Train.”All matters considered, arguably the most striking song of the entire collection is the nearly nine-minute free-form “Take A Stroll Thru Your Mind,” with the only constant being an unforgettable bass line.Something you need to hear for yourself, the album also features a wonderful rendition of “War,” which became a huge hit for Edwin Starr later on in 1970.In truth, Psychedelic Shack is a compelling listen even five-plus decades later.That is why it is great to find out Elemental Music is celebrating the album’s 55th anniversary with a limited edition vinyl re-release that arrives on March 21, 2025.The final selection in the outstanding Motown Sound Collection series from Elemental Music, keep in mind they also put out 1968’s Wish It Would Rain in May 2024, 1969’s Cloud Nine in July 2004, 1964’s Meet The Temptations in September 2024, 1971’s Sky’s The Limit in October 2024, Eddie Kendricks’ 1972 solo album People… Hold On in November 2024, 1972’s Solid Rock in December 2024, before 1969’s Puzzle People this past February 14th.With the classic original artwork included, this new release of Psychedelic Shack is pressed to 140-gram extremely high-quality vinyl that sounds crisp, clean, and rich.Joining the other aforementioned reissues, there is a whole lot of Temptations-related material to take in, so cap off your history lesson with this one because Cryptic Rock gives the limited edition vinyl reissue of Psychedelic Shack 5 out of 5 stars.","brand":"MUSIC ON CD","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53207028334919,"sku":"TRI-65601","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/23b7af7063fa3898c3da1019e8d6b793.jpg?v=1769377412"},{"product_id":"irma-thomas-its-raining-the-allen-toussaint-sessions","title":"Irma Thomas -
