Orson Welles - War Of The Worlds - 02-Nov-09 09:11 AM
A great example of how the archives of recorded time has been preserved. The passages on this LP are from the actual radio broadcast, Not something taken from a tape, they are archived from the original 4 large 16in acetates that were cut directly from the radio transmission. Note that this whole concept was done live in a studio with actors, sound effects records, gadgets and many other noise makers. It represents a moment in time when the "average joe" had their ears glued to their radio tube sets in utter hysteria. This was an performance where the stage was the eardrum of each human who heard it. Too bad some people took it too seriously.

Rare Earth - Dreams/Answers - 16-Oct-09 03:40 PM
A surprising good example of where the band would eventually evolve into. The track “Get ready” here is a shorter piece and is an earlier idea of the long marathon mix they world later do for Motown’s off shoot label “Rare Earth”. There are many other nice tunes inside this rare LP, definitely worth exploring for those rare grooves. Recorded in Verve studios with an hint of the Motown fame, this has a unique sound. A new definitive direction for the up and coming group then. For its time frame you have to consider this is where their punch came from.

Bataan* - The Bottle (La Botella) / When You're Down (Funky Mambo) - 10-Jun-09 11:14 AM
An early Latin Disco classic, extremely hard to find these days as most everybody picked it up and played it to death. This is a stunning Drum track by the legendary man himself. His earlier studio days of drumming for other band pays off here. This was originally recorded by Mericana Record corp. and later became Salsoul Records. On the original issue the orange Epic label has the early Salsoul logo on the right side.

Gwen Dickey - I'm In Love Again - 30-Mar-09 07:41 PM
Gwen Dickey – I’m In Love Again
This is a stunning example of early tape editing trickery and vintage samplers. I am almost certain there is a Mario Bros. sound byte sampled here, that magic moment sound when you get bonus points. The essence of the track is actually based around the mid 80’s sound that was very supreme in NY. This being a Miami record it has roots along and up the east coast. This is a party rocking groove, but also a proto house freestyle classic combined. Latin Rascals meets Nona Hendrix, it fuses a booty shaking feeling all its own. The edits are most likely tape edits, very similar to the magical Arthur Baker by hand splicing 4 to 8 beats, riffs into exotic edits by repeating the same sound and then fractions of it. It might sound old, but play a copy and you will see new people prancing and dancing.
