I got lucky, just as I finished making the previous post, the sun
broke through, and I managed to take my pics.
So here’s Olatunji from Nigeria with some nice Highlife.
Get that party going !
“I am the drum,
you are the drum,
and we are the drum.
Because the whole world
revolves in rhythm, and
rhythm is the soul of life,
for everything that we do in
life is in rhythm.”

Good afternoon, It has been a crazy week, lots of work and little time
to rip LP’s. Now I finally find some time, the weather is so bad, I
can’t photograph any albums, I use to do it outside with daylight.
It’s a shame because I had some really nice African stuff waiting,
aswell as some Colombian material.
For now I’ve got to post something else, when I was in Rio,
february 2007, I went out shopping for old records with our great
friend ‘Zecalouro’ from Loronix. He took me to this tiny recordshack
somewhere in a Copacabana shoppingcentre, when searching I found
this ‘Ed Lincoln’. I felt a little uncomfortable buying quite some LP’s
there, a friend takes you to see his special source, I almost felt
like I was stealing something. Later I ripped some of the LP’s I found
and sent them to Zeca, among others this one was posted at Loronix
already over a year ago. I think it is appropriate to post it
oncemore today. Hope you like it.

From 1969, this is one of the last albums of ‘The Impressions’.
In 1970, Curtis Mayfield was to leave the Impressions and on the album’s
last track, he gives an example of what he’s about to go doing.
This is one of the first records to appear on Curtis’ label ‘Curtom’.

Another very lucky find on my last recordhunt was this Ray Barretto.
It’s cover was in vey bad condition but the LP was still in
surprisingly well state. One spin was enough to know, topmaterial
from the Fania Family. Check it.

Barbosa and Vanzolini are both from Sao Paulo, both made very nice Samba,

On track #6, we hear the master himself, together with Marília Batista.
Very nice is also Maria Bethania’s version of ‘Trés Apitos’.

Today I want to introduce something new at Global Groove.
Global Groove’s Sunday Special, every week I’ll do something else.
This week I want to show you three pop albums from the 70’s, that
I used to play a lot, and of which I like the covers extremely much.
All 3 make me have nostalgic feelings hearing them again
after quite some time.

This is an old personal favourite, my friends and I played it a hell of
a lot those days. I always loved this cover.

tracks;

1 Every night
2 Fidelity
3 Girl from Pluto
4 Drug dealer
5 VD got to Idi
6 Public servant
7 Tricentennial woman
8 Glows in the dark / Jenny
9 All night long

Ever since I heard this album for the very first time, I loved it !
Everything about this LP is ‘art’. It’s poetic, subtle and played
fantasticly well. And how about that Cover ? A number One !

tracks;

1 Alpha Centauri
2 Sweet enemy
3 Terminal love
4 My grandmother’s funeral
5 Modern times
6 Deborah
7 oo girl
8 Audience of one
9 Felladaddio
10 Holding the cobra
11 Even Stephen Foster

To close off this productive day, a sweet piece of Samba.
I had a great day, ripping all this nice music, I hope you did
too, listening to it. ‘Paulinho da Viola’ delivers an album
like no other. A bit sentimental but very decent I ‘d say.
Que saudade que eu tenho que o meu amor esta no Rio agora.

He used to be a Calypsonian, but when during the 70’s the sound
started to change, Lord Kitchener did not stay behind.
Early 80’s Soca, when it was electronic but kind.
