Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at More Things. What with the paranoid religious visions, the Pentecostal music, visions of God and anarchy running amok and such, somebody …

    Al,I'm curious as to just how these CD's
    qualify as "New" releases. I'm the proud
    owner of that "Sam & The Soul Machine"
    disc (it's funky as Hell,think Booker T.
    & The MG's meet The Meters but a little
    jazzier),Chuck Simmons "Hustlers Strut"
    and several volumes of the "Funky,Funky
    New Orleans" series(Vols 1,2,2A)as well
    as "Eddie Bo's-Funky,Funky New Orleans".

    The thing is,I've had most of these CD's
    about 2 years now.And some I've even had
    for longer. So again, I'm just wondering
    who classifies these as "New".

    I'd definitely recommend them all for
    any serious Soul/Funk/R&B fanatics out
    there in blogland reading this.

    Packaging is top notch.Informative liner
    notes,excellent sound quality,alt.takes,
    unreleased tunes and plenty of obscure
    45 only releases known mainly to avid
    collectors; 45's that would set you back
    a couple hundred bucks apiece if you're
    ever lucky enough to even find them in
    the first place.

    HW, is it really that hard to figure out? They're reissues, the industry's favorite new trend. Labels reissue albums that came out 6 months ago - they'll add a new song, or maybe a "watch it one time" DVD, or maybe they've encountered the "definitive" original master copy of the album (until another is found - and one will be,) up the price by a few bucks, and watch us die-hards scoop 'em up.

    That seems like it would be the case but
    it isn't Tom.These are exact same issues
    that came out before.Which were reissues
    in the first place.Nothing at all is any
    different with these releases which is
    what makes it seem odd. Nothing added &
    nothing lost. Any die hard fans and/or
    collectors already have this shit.

    I'm well acquainted with the re issue
    scene. Some friends & I bootlegged and
    pressed several runs of some obscure R&B
    and Funk 45's in the mid 90's. Only to
    get our asses blown out of the water
    when master tape versions of a couple of
    the tracks were found.(We mastered ours
    off of mint copies of the 45's)We could
    not even compete with the improvement in
    sound & ended up losing a good amount of
    $$$ in the process.

    I am working at a fevered pace to finish my review of the new Crue retrospective. I know you are all waiting with baited breath.

    Indie hip hop rap rnb labels and artists now have a new digital distribution network to submit music free 3-songs or up to 24-songs. Rap4abuck is the indie alternative to iTunes except that only these niche markets are able to submit music.
