Gil Scott Heron* - Space Shuttle - 29-Jun-09 09:40 AM
Another Bargain to be had here. Of course this is the joy of Discogs, where all tracks are remembered and nothing is forgotten.

After standard fair from Gil on the other two mixes a slight of hand was pulled on this version of the space shuttle 12 inches (three were released but only one is listed on Ogs at the time of writing).
So we go to the B side of this 12" and the Space Shuttle (Deep Club Dub) mix.
This version at the time was super rare because of the sample, almost throughout the whole mix, of Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It and vocal snippets of First Choice - Let No Man Put Asunder.

In the shop we could not get this for love or money, eventually finding a solitary copy years later in a bargain bin for 50p (and fighting over it - I won ; )
The problem was the saturation of the other 12"s and we had to shift through countless copies of them searching for this gem.

We suspect this version was withdrawn because of sample clearance, or lack of it.

A Deep House Originator.

Spitfire Boys - British Refugee / Mein Kampf - 25-Apr-08 07:16 AM
"Formed some 6 weeks after meeting The Heartbreakers in 1977 and finding they needed a support band for an upcoming gig. Originally called The Blackmailers their new name came courtesy of Wayne County!! Part of the Liverpool scene based around Erics night club - along with bands like Big In Japan ,The Mutants and Berlin - The Spitfire Boys were without doubt Liverpools finest punk band and produced its finest slice of punk vinyl - British Refugee / Mein Kampf."

Strangely enough it is British Refugee that gets onto the punk compilations, but it is Mein Kampf that is the gem.

More PC madness we suppose? no beds.

If you dont have it youre missing out! Track this rare 7" down.

Rammellzee - Bi-Conicals Of The Rammellzee - 29-Feb-08 07:00 AM
This is out there, really out there.

If you can imagine George Clinton and Tackhead (Adrian Sherwood and Keith Le Blanc) fighting an overt war of terrorism against infidel pop music clones across a battle scarred european wasteland, then you are nearly there. All you need to do is plug it in, plug it in.

Is that seventy five words yet? hmm obviously not.

Ok, they have machine guns with scarey heads carved into the casings on the sonic bullets...

Area 10 Featuring MK* - Get It Right - 01-Feb-08 01:03 PM
A Genuine Detroit Gem!

Despite few people even knowing what it is, this is certainly one of my prize Detroit items. Lovingly cared for, for nearly 20 years now. In our record shop we got two copies, so they never even got as far as the counter, lol.

This would fall into the new Hi-Tek Soul category of 313 music, however it pre-dates that by well over a decade.

Poor distribution plagued labels like this, so it died a swift death. And with MK going on to find stardom in mediocrity, few people cared to look back.

Shame that ;)

Get em cheap while theyre there!

Silent Phase - Psychotic Funk - 10-Aug-07 09:50 AM
This release signals the maturity of Transmat. It also draws the line between dance music and Techno. For those who know - its a new dawn, for those who just want to nod their head its too far down the road.

How many times can you play Spirit Of Sankofa before deciding what speed, 33 or 45? Or did you give up and leave Transmat behind?

For those who got the clues we are rewarded with the Time:Space compilations.
